Not to the first game, which has even less color
The first game didn't use the Sin City color range so yeah I think it was a bit more colorful.

Oh yeah I didn't know it was Real Pic January. I guess I gotta find something. Either way, nice beard man. I like it.
Also you're weird, you and JaseC. I think most people agreed that AC 2 is better than 1. But 1 was the stepping stone. Next you'll be telling me that the Hobbit films were better than the original trilogy.
Woah. You guys, corrosivefrost is a frickin saint I tell ya!
That guy is scarily nice
Thank you man.
frost is nice? He is never nice to me.
Only when we conversate.
Edit: Stallion Free is Tom Brady. It all make sense now.

The Twin Towers was best. But I preferred AC 1, too, despite all the "improvements" that came with AC2 based on feedback from players. I went through AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations and have still yet to buy a crossbow, for one, haha. But I still preferred Altair. Not even the Masyaf keys was enough for me to love any of the later instalments more.

I don't know. With PC becoming more and more popular even among Pubs who never released stuff on it, I can't imagine Rockstar still treating PC users as second-class citizens.
But maybe it's just nice thinking on my part.

Was there a crazy price mistake or something? The store seems to be down.
All the semen from Nekopara clogged up the gears.

There isn't really a standard but I think a month or so is average, the closer it gets to release without info the more likely of the delay.
AC2 is a more polished game, and it is a bit more fun by virtue of having more variety of gameplay in it.
But AC1 was a far more interesting game. There were a lot of underdeveloped ideas in that game that simply got thrown out the window with AC2. Plus, while the combat wasn't super challenging, there were actually times when it made sense to run/hide from guards, rather than effortlessly murdering everything in your way. It was a rough game for sure, and was often repetitive, but there's a lot that could have been improved in a sequel if they didn't choose to go a completely different direction.
GTA V was released over a year ago on last gen consoles, and months ago on current gen consoles. They have already been treating PC users as second class citizens.
I thought part 2 was widely considered the best one.

Looks way better in terms of color diversity/variation and intensity to me ¯\_(ツ

Yeah... we're not getting GTAV at the end of the month -- we don't even know what's up with the DRM other than it's *NOT* Steamworks. GMG has it for preorder and all... but again, I'm not buying there if it doesn't redeem on Steam. Rockstar, feel free to ask Ubisoft how that works.
I like the LotR movies better than what I've seen of The Hobbit... and while I had some problems with the LotR movies (Peter Jackson's odd choices of what to include in TTT vs RotK) but vastly prefer the story in the LotR trilogy (not to mention my annoyance with PJ making 3 films out of a short book). TTT was a great movie though... I love them all.

As far as Assassin's Creed goes, my problem with AC2 is it's basically GTA:Renaissance without cars. It plays more like a typical sandbox GTA quest-athon instead of playing like an Assassin Simulator. Even with it's *stupid* intel missions (help me collect some flags, fast, assassin, and I will tell you something about your target!), the whole game is crafted to feel like you're an assassin doing work and getting your target and killing them. AC2 somehow becomes more story focused on Ezio and while some of the main story concepts were still awesome, the general feel of the game... just most of it felt like fluff. I did like the Assassin tombs and the hidden pieces of Eden or whatever tho.
This is partly the reason I'm so interested in ACU. The dedicated stealth mode and what seems to be a return to the "Hitman" style of "plan your assassination" but in historical periods instead of modern day... that's part of what I got into AC for... and after I got curious about what was happening with the present day story in the series and looked it up (not knowing if I'll ever feel like going back to the series at the Brotherhood/Revelations timeframe), I can't say I'm interested in that much now. I had such great ideas for what AC3 would show us after the ending of AC2. And then we were given ACB instead... and it's just kind of... eh... now.

I like Asscreed 2 better than 1 and thought AC1 was pretty boring.

Yeah, that left a bitter taste in my mouth but I still hold out to that maybe R* doesn't want to make another GTA4 performance-debacle and pushed its PC release to the Next-Gen port and then alloted even more weeks for best optimization efforts?
I am reaching, I know. But hey, it's the good thoughts that keep us going.
For any movie-nerds out there. Ant-Man got its first real teaser released a couple minutes ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xInh3VhAWs8
Never would have believed Paul Rudd to play a superhero, hah. But he didn't look that bad I have to say.

This is true -- and the risk reward was a big factor.
That final battle was annoying... until I got mad and decided I wanted to try to counter the final boss. And the fact that I did (and that you could) and it was a 1 shot? That was amazing.

AC2 is far superior because you don't have to put up with this bullshit.
I raise you, Revelations was the superior.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I agree with this statement.2 wasn't bad either.
That only encouraged me to 100% the shit out of that game.

AC1 is literally the worst game in the series. Other than the interesting choice of location, it's a bland soul-less experience. Ezio was interesting at least. And Connor actually has a compelling background. Altair matched only by Edward another boring as fuck protag.

AC1's mission design was horrible, go to contacts, kill target, report back, copy and paste that several times. Liberating citizens also led to nowhere.

Idk. It's nice that not every Assassin has every ability I think.
In real life not everyone can swim as well, right? lol

It was clearly released unfinished. Too many 'side' type things had no real purpose. They made up for it in the sequel, then later ones had far too much to do.
I feel like they all do that. Eavesdrop/blend, pickpocket/steal, follow y target because he's related to x in whatever way
(Like when the janisarries were being shady and you went to find out where the weapons were, etc).

Giving Altair an ounce of culture wouldn't have hurt.

Back to The Clicker Witcher.
I'm trying not to be too hard on the game, but I'll post further impressions here as I go through.

Speaking of AC, not sure if anyone shared this yet. Unity DLC next week. Free. Free.
I thought Brotherhood was widely considered the best one? followed by 2.
Now as much as I love Revelations and think people hate it so much for whatever their reason is. I loved the fact that it completed Ezio and Altair story so nicely.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I loved AC1. I 100% the game myself. But it still sucked compared to the vastly improved AC2.
Haha. Seems like one of those patented "Git Gud" lessons.
Git Gud = Intentional (but balanced) difficulty. This was just difficult because whoever was responsible for building that part of the game is a moron. Pretty sure you could ask anybody who played AC1 what the worst part of the game was, and they'd all say "that one mission in the docks."
Or maybe I do just suck.
If only the Templars had known of his inability to cope with water. They could have just splashed him and gotten away with everything.

I know, Ubisoft is not big on innovations, but non of those recycled stuff was as blatant as the first game. At least the post-assassination confessions are better than AC3's, which was just endless repeats of "What I'm doing is right and you screwed it up" or "you and I are not so different".
Internet Law dictates that I say everybody else is weird for not sharing my opinion!
Yeah, the source is a newly-released still from Brooklyn.
That failed spoiler tag. And the entire Ezio series was just, "you suck, requiescat in pace." Maybe one day they'll make the perfect assassin game.

I don't agree, obviously. 2 was a completely different game in terms of gameplay. Sure it had a similar combat engine and stuff... but the quest structure and all that stuff... so different. Of the 3 games I played, I thought AC2 was the worst AC game (AC, AC2, AC3:L). Now don't get me wrong... if it was a terrible game, I wouldn't have completed it 100% twice (I didn't 100% AC since I had no "platinum" incentive and the flags were just... so fucking annoying.).
I don't like your tone, sir.
The Witcher is phenomenal and there was little clicking involved for me.
I can agree with this, but I think if you kind of "muslim him up" or something, the developers would be worried (and maybe rightfully so) about sales within their target demographic. 6 years post 9/11, the US wasn't exactly embracing of middle eastern culture (and I think a lot of folks may still play the "all muslims must be terrorists" bullshit).
