Got assassin's creed 2

so far its kickass. scenery's beautiful, and the new weapons are fun as well.

Too bad it's monotonous and shoves historical shit in your face.

It looks like the first one with more stuff, which sounds good to me. I want to get it on the 360 though, which unfortunately means getting another 360. So it'll be a while.

What's the benefit of the 360 one over the PS3?

In any case, I really liked the original, so the idea of a larger sequel with the boring bits ironed out is pretty much a must.

PS3
*fangasm*

I'm currently playing it and its pretty fun having guards chase you. It's even better when you get down to one bar of health, more challenging. The combat is pretty easy, stealing cash is easy (8000 just from stealing and I just got the skill.)

Well, only minor stuff as usual (screen tearing, framerate). But I have the first one on the 360, so I want this one on the 360 too.

Do you mean the PS3 suffers from those issues and the 360 game doesn't? I have the first one on PS3, and while I'll get whichever version is the superior no matter how minor the superiority may be, like you I'd like to get a matching pair.

Well Tobi was able to walk, and stand on air for the 360 version.

Well, the PS3 version suffers from them more, but from the video I saw it wasn't noticeable (a big HD TV might make a difference though). The framerate was a lot more steady on the 360 version.

Framerate isn't usually a problem as my HDTV has a 100HZ mode which helps smooth out jerkiness - it worked a treat on Mass Effect.

It seems it runs far better and looks nicer in 720p than in 1080p as well. It's native resolution is 1280x720, but forcing it to 1080p actually makes it run at 960x720 for some reason.

just got altair's armor (best armor), altair's sword (best sword), notched cinqueda (best dagger), and maxed out my villa. i am on a ROLL.

This game is so glitchy XD
Riding through crowds of people on a horse causing it to fall and I stand on air with people standing up in midair as well.

I was just randomly riding through crowds of people tog et to next spot and it happened.

Well I have it on PS3, great game better than the first, and I haven't experienced any of the glitches.

Well, it starts out kind of slow, but after that the story becomes quite captivating, except this game doesn't ruin it like thye first by being too repetitive. The story missions are always different, unless there's a repeat I missed, but the sidequests are mostly the same. Umm, it would take a while to fully complete without a guide of sorts. Think that pretty much covers everything.

do you get right into the action

i heard ppl complain you had to walk over to town all the time in the first one and this took a while

"You should find an outlet."
"I have plenty of outlets."
"I meant besides vaginas."

lol wtf

is that in this game o_O

Yes, that is actual in-game dialogue.

lmfao taht is hilarious

i never expected to hear that in a game set in medieval times

"It's me, Mario"

Yes, that's during the dull "messenger boy" boy phase. It's a conversation with his mother. XD

But yeah, there are a messengerboy tasks before you get into the action.

and ppl say don't shoot the messenger look what he became
