Assassin's Creed 2: Masterfully Executed

Ойындар

With so many Assassin's Creed games that have come out, how will my Assassin's Creed 2 review hold up? Ezio himself is smug, charming, and deadly. Our first real character arc in the series since Altair was more of a blank slate. I still remember this game fondly and it set the template for future Assassins Creed games for nearly the next decade. But does AC2 remain the high point of the Assassin's Creed series? Let's find out.

    People keep saying no one cared about the modern day stuff, but I found that more intriguing. Like how is the world outside of the facilities?

The tower defense is a non-mandatory mini game if you don't care about external missions of the brotherhood that much. In the end, both of them are things that don't affect in the slightest the main gameplay, and thus is almost the same As Brotherhood. And it doesn't make it worse if they don't taint the rest of the gameplay.

I agree with u on this 100 %.Everything about AC2 was just perfect,be it story,characters, and that music ,i still don't have words to describe the feelings i have for the music of this game.Also, since we are living in the era of remakes,i just wish that this gets remade for the upcoming generation. It will be a dream come true!!!

    Almost done with my third playthrough of AC II and absolutely loving every minute of it. From the atmospheric ambiance to the smooth, weightless controls, this game is way more than just nostalgia. I wish they stuck to their roots and kept a more grounded, mature feel to the franchise we AC fans grew to love. But until then, I'll just remanence on what once was.

    I remember several years back that I decided to do a 100% playthrough of AC2 on my Xbox 360, so I took my, at the time large CRT PC monitor and desktop PC, and set them both up beside me on my old coffee table and linked said PC to to my network and use it as my interactive players guide via KZread to find the rest of the feathers I missed and locate the insignias order to translate the Adam and Eve videos. Granted this day in age, I can use my laptop plain and simple, but there was something genuinely euphoric all those years back playing AC2 on on my 360 using this cumbersome setup with my old PC and monitor that I miss as it was so much fun to become so engaged in a game in this manner that I would gladly do it again minus getting a herniated disc in my lower back from hoisting that damn CRT monitor around!

    4:15 I did. And still do to some degree. The modern day had it's ups and downs but it is what hooked me up in the first place. Yes, I know, running around in the past is the most fun part of all the games, but that mysterious and complicated sci-fi story told in small segments through out the game was the icing on the cake for me. I am slightly disapointed with some of the choices they made (Desmond's ending wasn't particularly bad for me, I think they took way more annoying decissions in later games) but overall is still an aspect of the narrative I'm looking for with every entry in the franchise. Also, shame on you, Altaïr is a treasure as a protagonist. (I'm kidding, I love Altaïr but it's ok if you don't).

    I can help with the whole criptic video thing. Ok, across the entire series there have been references to the Precursors, who apparently was an advanced civilization that eventually was ended by something with the sun, I believe. The secret cuts energy was showing basically how civilization started in AC. Adam and Eve running away and no longer being slaves. This kept them safe from the whole getting murdered by the sun, but it also meant humanity had to start again from the ground up. Throughout the entire series, there have been quite a few precursors left over. There was even one that infiltrated Abstergo industries. I have only played up till AC Syndicate, so I don't know if they added anymore to the story or not. If you read this far, you either wanted to know about this or you just pressed read more and didn't realize how long this was going to be.
