I hope when you start levels you can skip the old man talking and talking parts. there should be skip button. so i don't watch the same thing over and over again.
CAN'T WAIT.
I was nervous, at first, that Ubisoft would take out some of the things that made the first game great, but I think it'll all be okay, now :)
Sadly I won't be able to play it right away when it comes out. Ironically, though, I'll be on vacation in Italy. Chao!
I agree with garnsr. While I didn't hate the game, my objections with it had really nothing to do with what the article mentioned. It wasn't a lack of stuff to do so much as a lack of interesting stuff to do. The actual assassinations were great but the stuff in between was largely a slog. Plus the AI just sucked at times, both with stealth and with combat. I don't feel like a badass when I'm only actually taking on one enemy at a time. I don't know, maybe the other enemies are too taken aback by my dashing good looks to pitch in and help their buddies, but for whatever reason combat for much of the game was dull and unexciting despite the somewhat flashy kill moves.
Anyway, like I said, I didn't hate the game, because I could appreciate all the stuff that its lovers praised about it. I'm looking forward to this second game. It looks like some if not all of the issues with the first game will probably be addressed, so that satisfies me. Plus Italy is more interesting to me visually than Jerusalem, so that's a plus.
I fully agree with the 10 the original got and I can't wait for this to come out! This and Modern Warfare 2 are the holiday games I HAVE to get this year. The two sequels to my first two PS3 games.
I doubt a modern day Assassin's Creed would work. But so what? It sure works in historical settings, and such settings are certainly one of the beauties of this game.
I'm a fan and am really looking forward to enjoying all the improvements that appear to make AC2 a significantly "fuller and better" game than its initial variation.
Cant wait for this game im ripping my hair out bc i gotta wait another week than i thought i had to!! looks like this one will have way more stuff than the first so im counting on it to be better than modern warfare 2.
