Assassin's Creed - Comments

@ Altair Ibn-La'Ahad;
i'm so looking forward to it then! my mom has strictly forbidden me from playing during the weekdays bc let's admit... who would do homework if you could play assassin's creed? lol, so i'm going to be gaming all night friday! + prom night is on saturday & i'm not going so thanks for the heads up! can't wait!!

@shim changmin; Nah, no worries. That was my fault, since I worded it poorly. Trust me, Brotherhood goes by really fast once you get past Sequence 2; the third sequence is super short and really easy, if you're going for Full Sync. Revelations, though. In terms of sequences, it's the same length of Brotherhood with nine sequences. That's not saying that the sequences are the same exact length (I know Revelations' third sequence is much longer and more difficult than Brotherhood's, but I think Revelations' fourth sequence is a little easier than Brotherhood's). It's not so much length as it's added-in game mechanics.

For example, Bomb-crafting and Den Defense; bomb-crafting is annoying at best, but the latter is ridiculously infuriating. The new weapon wheel is unnecessarily irritating to use and Eagle Sense is assigned to a different button entirely. It's not difficult, per se, unless you're going for Full Sync, but it definitely takes some getting used to. Not to mention, the map has an bad habit of glitching and losing your custom marker. Thankfully, you can avoid Den Defense completely (other than the required tutorial memory).

On the positive side, though, the graphics are great; Constantinople is beautiful and both Ezio (despite his age) and Altair look great. Altair's memories also add more to his story and his character. Despite the changed mechanics, it's an Assassin's Creed game; if you can play II and Brotherhood, you can play Revelations. The story (so far...I'm only on Sequence 5) is great and it finds a way to pull you in. All in all, it's a good game and far from unplayable, but expect some frustrations.

@ Altair Ibn-La'Ahad;
imo, totes read your comment wrong. excuse the morning bug, i clearly didn't see lol. but yea, i think i'm on sequence...2-ish? i haven't gotten that far tbh, but it's a great start! i did hear revelations was somewhat flawed ._. is it superbly long & complex or?

@shim changmin Oh no, I'm on Sequence 7 of Assassin's Creed 2. I just took a break because I was having a bit of an AC overload and wanted to play some Resident Evil. And, I absolutely love ACII. My personal favorite out of all of them I've played, but Brotherhood is a close second. Enjoy that one, since I beat it already. What Sequence are you on?

Oh, don't get me started on Revelations. Not a bad game, but it's definitely flawed. I enjoy it, just not as much as the others. It's clear that Ubisoft tried a little too hard with it. Ezio is still amazing, though.

@ Altair Ibn-La'Ahad;
let me just tell you, i think you'll love assassins creed II. ezio -- tho not as great as altair -- is amazing & the plot twist at the end didn't fail to explode my ovaries! but i'm on brotherhood rn so revelations in maybe a month perhaps? i heard that it was frustrating imo

@XXXataktoulaXXX Your mother is my new hero, seriously. Mine wouldn't touch Assassin's Creed (or any of my games) with a ten-foot pole. Anyways, this has to be my favorite series ever. I'm so behind, though... :/ Definitely starting back up with ACII tonight. [had Black Flag since launch day and hasn't touched it yet] I also need to finish Revelations, but that game frustrates the hell out of me.... Altair's updated model, though? Okay, I'm done now.

@ shim changmin
Haha totes mcgoats. LOL.
Im gonna try to actually put some effort into my gaming soon. I only play for an hour or two, three or four times a month.

@ Qhuinn
we shall regroup in a few years then after we both have completed black flag & fangirl//rant about our assassin feels!

@ shim changmin
The graphics of all the games are right there with Skyrim to me. Top of the line and very detailed. The story line of all the games is great too. I agree though, when the time comes (probably a few years from now considering it takes me upwards of a year to beat most games) I will try it out and make the decision how good, or bad, it is.

@ Qhuinn
was it really? it looked rather epic but it's a shame to hear that (+ i have heard reviews from other friends of mine that didn't like it) still tho, i want to try it out (when the time comes) just to see it first hand. my friend was playing revealtions the other day & the graphics were sick

seriously, assassin's creed so far hasn't failed to please me, but i'm a bit iffy when i get closer to black flag, yowzah

@ shim changmin
My friend a few years ago let me play her's for like twenty seconds and I fell in love. My brother bought it and Im just now getting a chance to play through it, one city at a time. Im currently trying to get to Jeruselum Haha.

I heard Black Flag was a horrible addition to the franchise.

@ Qhuinn
as am i! i just started assassin's creed: brotherhood this past weekend & seriously can't get enough of it. tho i heard both brotherhood & revelations is rather long, i'm ready for the new adventure!

This is my absolutely favorite game. I try to play every chance I get, its a new discovery and Im trying to make my way through the whole game franchise. Great review. :D

I have to tell her that!

@ XXXataktoulaXXX
what a boss! i commend that woman!

@ shim changmin
My mom has turned all the games to 100% complete. And she has played them several times as well. You can't tell that woman is fifty at all.

@ XXXataktoulaXXX
the plot is absolutely extraordinary & this game totally has a way of hooking in the player so i don't blame her. i was addicted to this game up until i finished it & bought the ezio trilogy (which is basically the second one cut into three parts)

life ruined

My mother is crazy about that game. She absolutely loves it.
