The first one was so boring that it would take a lot to get me to try this one.

First one was very repetitive, but I liked it. Worth a rent for sure

I didn't think that the first one was boring at all, they just need to add variety. The main assasination missions were great since for most of them you actually had to use a different strategy to kill the guy.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I freakin' loved this game... but if they do me (us) dirty again with a lame *** ending, I'm done with this series.

Yeah, I just hope they add a bit more to the intel and making it actually impact your assassination more. Otherwise it was just "run to target, jump and kill, run to evade". They had a little bit of that (one mission if you killed some of the guys you could use a getaway path that made it easier). I'd just like more where if you take the time to plan and execute then it's not just running everywhere trying to hide after you kill the mark. If you don't want to do the other stuff then you could just kill your way in and get the guy, but it's more of a risk.

I dunno if that makes sense, but that was one of the things that added repetition for me.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I'm looking forward to this one. Like Farcry, I have to agree that AC was repetitive, but fortunately for me, that was just them asking me to do what I love over and over again. Basically, you're Batman in the middle ages without a "no kill" code, and that was just fine with me

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Yeah it didn't seem like the intel part really meant anything. If you found out more about your target you didn't get an idea of something else you could do.

It seems like Ubisoft games all become repetitive after awhile(even though I love all of the recent Ubisoft games). It's like they have a great idea, art style, and gameplay mechanics but they lose steam and don't know how to end it and/or what else to do to keep it fresh. Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, and Far Cry were great games but had that problem of not knowing what else they should do.

I agree, that ending stunk, but what a great game.

This.

If they add somewhat of a variety of objectives to the game, and make variations in how you can take care of the assassinations it would be a 10X improvement over an already good game.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

i wish they made it a bit more rpg'ish. like mass effect or along those lines. allow me to talk to other characters, or explore for practical reasons beyond trying for an achievment where you get to pigeons or whatever it was.

'blending in' or 'social cover' or whatever they called it failed. All it was ended up being blending w/ scholars or whatever - It's not that the assassinations got repetative for me, it was that the rest of the game was lacking severe amounts of gameplay/exploration/activities/choices. For example, why can't you find out one guy is a big meat-eater, pose as a butcher and wait for him to come and cut his melon in half with a cleaver.

I loved the fighting mechanics, par-cour/climbing, and just overall movment animation and effectiveness.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I loved the first, but there wasn't any replay value. I don't want to find like 400 f'ing flags for achievements.

Um, you mean I wasn't supposed to charge in with my sword out and hack away at the mark? Oops, no wonder I kept getting alerts on the assassinations.
