Hero-of-Time Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Achievement/trophy list is here. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-3756-Assassin-s-Creed-2-Achievement-Preview.html
Dante Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Previews: Gamespot. IGN. 1UP. Assassin's Creed 2 gets 9/10 in OXM The new issue of OXM went on sale today with the world's first ever review of Assassin's Creed 2 - which we liked so much we slapped a 9/10 score on it. OXM's Mike Channell was the first non-Ubisoft person in the world to complete the game, the company tells us, and he was impressed. It addresses nearly all the gripes we had with the original game, including all that artificial flag-collecting nonsense, and delivers a brilliant single-player experience that's built around a cracking story. We can't say any more 'cos it's all embargoed, so pick up the new issue for all the juicy details. it's in stores now, or you can buy a single issue online.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Pretty poor trophy list I have to say. Only 1 gold trophy and a tonne of Silver.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) So has everyone seen the special editions? http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/assassins-creed-2/preorder.php Edited October 27, 2009 by Emerald Emblem
Daft Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, I pre-ordered it about 4 months ago.
McPhee Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) So has everyone seen the special editions? http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/assassins-creed-2/preorder.php Blimey. Got to say, I am tempted by the Black Edition! £59.99 on PC, which is just about bearable. Just need to find out if the PC version is any good and whether or not it works well with the 360 pad (some games don't, Riddick being a prime example). EDIT: Actually, sod that. The cheapest price on PC is £22.99, no way am I putting down an extra £37. It'd have to be one hell of a special edition to make me that stupid. Edited October 27, 2009 by McPhee
Fruitgun Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Is the Black Edition sold out on Play.com? http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/10287842/Assassin-Creed-II-Black-Edition/Product.html It doesn't have a buy option anymore.. EDIT: nvm, just read the description, turns out it is out of stock. That sucks! Edited November 3, 2009 by Fruitgun Being an idiot
Gizmo Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I'll never understand why people buy special editions like that. It also really annoys me that companies withhold game content like that unless people also shell out for a useless statue and other such bollocks.
Emerald Emblem Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) £70 is out of my price range. I trust the main game will keep me going witout the bonus missions which will likely come out as DLC soon after launch. More tempted to get this special edition Just a couple extra quid for a bonus DLC: http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Action/Adventure/Adventure/~r344313/Assassins-Creed-II-Special-Edition/ Edited November 3, 2009 by Emerald Emblem
Serebii Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Game have started processing my pre-order. Theoretically, I could get this Tuesday. Depends when they ship it
Daft Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I ordered the black edition. It's sold out. I might cancel it. Edit: Just cancelled it. Going to trade in Uncharted 2. Anyone know the best place to do this? Edited November 15, 2009 by Daft
dwarf Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I sold mine to a friend. Otherwise, Cex is a good bet for trade ins. Or eBay it. Btw I want that BL co-op trophy!
MATtheHAT Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 The release date for this has sort of creeped up on me. Its Friday right? Think I'm gonna trade Borderlands in for it, which is a bit unusual for me because I don't normally trade games in unless a) They are completed or b) They suck. And Borderlands is neither. Has anyone had any experience trading in at HMV?

MATtheHAT Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Can't be arsed to eBay and there isn't a CEX near me. What's GAME like? You're probably looking at around £20 for Uncharted 2 in GAME.
dwarf Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 GAME are shocking compared to Cex, I'd advise against you doing a trade-in with them just because you could do much better. Not sure. Have you got any chums that have a PS3 but not the game? I guess if you're at uni that's a no. Bah, do what you want.
Daft Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 You're probably looking at around £20 for Uncharted 2 in GAME. It's either GAME or HMV. £20 isn't bad considering I got the game for free. GAME are shocking compared to Cex, I'd advise against you doing a trade-in with them just because you could do much better.

EDIT: Hold the fucking phone. There's a CEX right next to uni.

Think I'm gonna trade Borderlands in for it, which is a bit unusual for me because I don't normally trade games in unless a) They are completed or b) They suck. And Borderlands is neither. Has anyone had any experience trading in at HMV? I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I really want to hold on to Borderlands for the dlc, I reckon it's going to have much more replayability than ACII in the long run. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Daft Posted November 16, 2009 Author Posted November 16, 2009 The phone is being held, what would you like me to do with it now??. Keep holding until I trade in Uncharted 2 and pick up Assassin's Creed II from CEX on Friday.
martinist Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 had this on pre-order for months, just started processing it yesterday. Should be much better than the first one, it got a bit same-ish after a while
