Woo! Assassin's Creed II was previewed a few days ago by GI! Apparently the sequel has no repeating missions, and the main character can swim! I CANNOT wait for winter!
My first comment ever! Let this live on in our (and by our, I mean my) memory forever! Anyway, shouldn't Sonic be on here? His body is like an upside-down peanut!
@LawlingLobstaFTW I assume you're being sarcastic, so did you not notice the large "SPOILERS AHEAD" graphic with bold exclamation points at the very beginning of the article?
A whiny fanboy, me? That's a first! I think I explain well enough how the combat and co-op are entertaining enough to make it a solid, fun game, which deserves to be called "great," but that I didn't find it mind-blowingly compelling. lol lets flam war.
"Hmm. Being an Australian gamer, I would have rather you said the Australian Government is backwards, not Australia."
Hyperbole for comedic effect. ;) I also believe that the US is incredibly backwards in many areas. In fact, I think we're full of stupid over here. No offense intended.
Hm, well, I didn't notice any balance issues. I was playing at level one, with the people who made the game, and I still came in second on a couple matches. We will see when we get to play it more comprehensively, for the review (which I'm too much of a fanboy to write).
@Blackout1881: Sort of, but not really. Yes, the basic gameplay is the same - it should be, because it was already good. There are many new strategies and techniques which the additions make possible. Completely changing the gameplay would have been silly.
Ninja-KiLLR: "that was a very funny article. all are very good remarks. but if you were knifed in the back in the lung that would be a kill shot yur not recovering from"
You'd probably die, for sure, but you may have enough in you to turn around and fire a few rounds into your stabber. The amount of damage inflicted by a single stab wouldn't necessarily put you out immediately.
