Daft Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 Cool. So far I am loving this. It does start off slow and I was starting to think that it was missing something...That something turned out to be basically all the weapons. I just got my Assassin's Blade. Even though the start is slower, it is much better. I really loved the first one being set in the crusades. This era interests me less so in terms of the atmosphere.
Dan_Dare Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 So i'll be getting this to review in the week. teeeiiighht.
Daft Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 I have to say, I actually hate Uncharted 2 now. It makes every other game look like shit in comparison. Facial animation, mocap, rendering - all look absolutely hideous. DAMN YOU DRAKE!!
Happenstance Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Yeah id been noticing that close up this game doesnt really shine in the graphics department. Also even though its not to the same extent as the first game, I am starting to feel its getting slightly repetetive.
drahkon Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Finished Uncharted 2 yesterday and both ACs have arrived today. Gonna go play now. Hope I'll finish the first AC fast.
Cube Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Hope I'll finish the first AC fast. Play the 30 minutes then watch the ending on YouTube and you've experienced the whole game.
drahkon Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Play the 30 minutes then watch the ending on YouTube and you've experienced the whole game. Nah, I don't really like watching cutscenes without playing the game I think the anticipation for AC 2 and Uncharted 2 will get me through AC 1 quite fast :p
Daft Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 There's no point in playing either of the AC fast. They aren't made to be blasted through. You're just going to get bored.
Dan_Dare Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 well...piss. got this for review today. Or at least I thought I did. My guy in London borrowed it from the office and put fifa 10 in the case instead. Fnnaarrgh!
drahkon Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 There's no point in playing either of the AC fast. They aren't made to be blasted through. You're just going to get bored. I didn't mean I want to finish it in the shortest time possible, I just want to finish it throughout the next few days I might be able to play a lot during next week.
Daft Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Even that is too much imo. I suggest spacing it over a few weeks but then I know that isn't always practical. Edit: This game is such a slow burner. The more I play, the more I love it. Still picking up skills and weapon types about 5 hours into it. Apart from the game looking a bit dated, I'm more than happy. Edited November 21, 2009 by Daft
Diageo Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 My friend is "secretly" buying this for me right now. Thanks mam for ruining the surprise.
drahkon Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 You were right. All of you. The first AC gets a bit boring...but I probably would have played this game if I hadn't AC 2 here. Started AC 2 and I love it. Even if I only played it for about 30 minutes.
Happenstance Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Im actually getting more and more bored of ACII now, if I dont complete it by tomorrow I will probably send it back instead of carrying on. The spawing of characters is getting on my nerves, im still finding the missions repetetive and I find the cities really bland.
Diageo Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Man does this game start slow, but now its going well. It's really hard to see things on the map and on those puzzles because my TV is small and not HD. Really annoying.
Daft Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Anyone else finding that stealth, and generally the whole Assassin's Creed, has pretty much been ignored?
Serebii Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Anyone else finding that stealth, and generally the whole Assassin's Creed, has pretty much been ignored? Nope. I just played a mission where I had to be incredibly stealthy
Happenstance Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Controls are annoying me now, keep getting caught with crappy camera angles and awkward jumps, especially on chases.
Daft Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Nope. I just played a mission where I had to be incredibly stealthy Really? Because I'm about 12 hours into it and bar having to follow some people without getting spotted, which is real easy, I've not had to be stealthy. At all.
Happenstance Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Where abouts are you guys then? Im: Im in the middle of the Carnival, doing the 3 tasks to get the mask.
Daft Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 At the bit where you go forward in time and assassinate Hitler. No point in putting spoilers if you aren't going to hint at roughly where you are.
Happenstance Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Lol sorry, I did think about that after I posted Its hard really, I can barely remember the name of the towns I visit or the people there. Looking at my trophies my last complete DNA sequence was 8 if that helps
Daft Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 lol, I just wanted to pretend spoil it in my spoiler. I think I'm a bit behind you. Just got the 'Merchant of Venice' trophy.
Diageo Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I've had plenty of stealthy missions, basically every mission you can be stealthy if you want to. You can fight the guards just as easy too.
Daft Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, I guess I just want the game to punish a bit more for not using stealth. It's just too easy. Also, I miss the beeping for the first game which told you your suspicion level.
