Do not agree. AC1 had better music.

You're just ASKING for a tag quote aren't you?

 

[Nemesis_]

AC1 had like three pieces. Assassination Music, Exploration Music and Conflict Music.

>_>

 

[Mifune]

Well, since I can't justify buying another game right now, I'll just have to wait a few months until I can get this on Goozex.

To keep the sadness at bay, I picked up where I left off in the original AC. Yep, it's still fun.

 

[-Winnie-]

I'd just like to say, AC2 may well be one of my favourite games of all time. Uncharted 2 and MGS4 were great as a cinematic experiences, but there is just so much fun to be had in AC2. Absolutely loving this game. It's pretty much the perfect sequel.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Game is totally awesome IMO.

Agreed. The first was such a major piece of ass compared to this. Fucking hell, this game is epic.

So. many. black. bars. :lol

Thanks, dudes. Loving the game so much, but this shit just came out of left field and threw me off guard.

 

[K.Sabot]

I'm playing through this and I keep asking myself if AC1 looked better. The lighting just seemed much better and the facial rendering is definitely putting me off.

Also, of the 3 pieces of music in AC1, they've been more compelling then what I've heard so far of two. So don't diss the soundtrack. ;p

 

[Manus]

Man the Brothers glyph puzzles took me forever to finish. Especially the black and white one.

Just recently got to

Venice.

Probably doesn't need spoiled, but eh. This place is GORGEOUS.

So, I lost the first

Spoiler

sibling rivalry church race.

It keeps starting over with the dude having a head start. He keeps beating me in like 20 seconds. It's like an endless loop. I'm getting sick of it starting over and hearing the same voice dubs. I'm not good with the controls yet and I can't even practice them. Halp.

Edit: Ok, I beat it. My problem was I kept jumping and repelling backwards off the wall. Really lame. I figured out how to climb and that helped me. (I didn't play much of the first game so I forgot how). I was pissed when it told me how to climb after I finally won. :lol

Help!
If you're in Venice then it's not a spoiler.

I'm stuck in the dream senquence with Altair, I stuck on the tower can't get on the lamp.

I dunno, it seems like a lot of people are struggling there for some reason. Make sure you're in front of it to jump forward at it, not on the sides.

I love this sequel. I think it's superior to the original, but I do agree with him on the soundtrack. First was better.

I can't offer any help, but it wasn't working for me either. I tried for about ten minutes, including a leap off the edge to death once. Blind luck resulted in the same thing that I had been attempting deciding to work all of a sudden.

 

[Mana Sin]

Stand on the ledge directly under the lamp bulb. go into high profile mode (R1 or RT) then hold in the jump button (X or.. whatever)...Then let it go. Your guy should hop right up and catch the end of the lamp pole.

 

[jett]

Hrrrmmm I updated to FW 3.10 today...am I crazy or does the game take longer to load now?

Pause the game and select Inventory, then select Outfits.


Speaking of UPlay bonuses, is there anyway to return to the Auditore Tomb once you've explored it? I think I missed a treasure chest in there and I'd like to reread the family history plaques. I tried returning to the entrance but I can't interact with the door. Likewise for the exit gate.

Thanks...man Altair looks so...lame compared to Ezio's badass clothes. :lol

BTW you have to select the tomb from the DNA sequence to replay it.

 

[Nemesis_]

So I thought Rome was in this game?

I thought Romagna would've been Rome in the same way that Firenze is Florence.

But yeah, no Rome? Wasn't it meant to be a third major city? Would've been so awesome to scale the colliseum and such =(

 

[EzLink]

God fucking dammit, is the final segment in this game

I stood in front of the post on the ledge and held R1 and X, Altair puts his hands behind him then push forward on the left stick.

 

[Y2Kev]

I love the music, I like it better than the AC1 score. Maybe you should replay AC1. That game has more atmospheric crap than proper music.

I'm playing Assassin's Creed on PSP now. It reuses all the music. I just don't agree! Nothing really matches Jerusalem's theme or the ending section of Enter the Animus. It's got some innovative pieces, but I don't think it's really all that different from the first overall (and I liked the industrial sound coupled with the big brass of the first). It's going for a different vibe with the guitar, and that's fine...but the strings in the escape theme from AC1 are way better than the guitar here.

 

[jett]

Yeah this piece of shit firmware now makes AC2 take 45 seconds to load a city. Fucking Sony. I'm glad I finished it before I updated at least.

Ok, so I finally found all the glyphs and just watched the Truth video. So can anyone explain what I just watched? I know just about as much as when I collected the first couple glyphs.

 

[Mana Sin]

Am I the only one who feels kind of depressed after watching The Truth? I just... *sigh* I need more information... Damn my overly inquisitive nature :'(

Your armor is broken, so you need to go to a blacksmith to repair them.

 

[Sai]

Guys, please tell me that there are 9 Feathers in the last district of Venice. 'cause if so, I'm set!

I'm at the start of Sequence 10 right now. 91 Feathers, Villa's all renovated, all the statuettes found, only one Codex left to find(probably in the last district of Venice), all weapons & armor acquired, finished up all the side missions and climbed every view point up to this point, and just finished up with The Truth... I've even been collecting all the treasures in each city. Venice is the only one I haven't cleaned out yet because it's it seems so big and daunting compared to the others. :lol

I think I'll be able to get 100% with all the Achievements when I finally beat the game! AC2's been keeping me busy.

While I was grabbing all the treasures in Tuscany, I got into it with a group of city guards, and a thief pickpocketed me right in the middle of the fight! Started chasing him immediately! Finally caught him after chasing him around the city for what seemed like an eternity, and watched as one of the archers that was chasing him along with me cut him down after I got my money back. :lol

 

[Sai-kun]

Am I the only one who feels kind of depressed after watching The Truth? I just... *sigh* I need more information... Damn my overly inquisitive nature :'(

Depressed? I was super excited. I think it both raises and answers/confirms questions.

Don't read this if you haven't watched all of the Truth and the ending:

Spoiler

Like how our "Gods" were really just the first civilization to be on Earth, and we were enslaved, and then Adam and Eve broke out out of control and stole the Apple. So cool.

 

[Vilix]

Major spoilers.

Also clearly in that video

Spoiler

Adam and Eve moved pretty much like all the assassins. And being an assassin is hereditary for the most part so they might as well be assassins because odds are they did give birth to them.

Spoiler

True that. According to the game's story, Cain would have been the first real assassin. Dyciphering one of the glyphs shows the different painting of Cain killing Able

What I still don't understand is were the gods aliens or just a species of human that developed millions of years they created us?

 

[Calavera520]

Game is totally awesome IMO.

Right behind RE5 as my GOTY.

yikes, RE 5, really?

hmm sorry, it was the worst Resident evil game, excluding all the on rails ones.

What are the chances that Cthulhu is involved? Probably nill. I really wish the Truth explained a little bit more of the creation stuff. We apparently didn't evolve, but being created by aliens seems to be odd as well...
