I went through the final three assassinations and everything else towards the end to beat this f***ing game in one go.

I don't even understand what is going on in it right now.

But I'm angry at it.

I am all Creeded out.

I only finished this over BIOSHOCK because my buddy at work was telling me that I need to finish it and move on to the next one.

But I don't want to play the next one right now.

BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY IN THE CRUSADES!

The second one isn't all that great either. I don't get why people love it so much, it's about the same as the first, only with some more variety in the missions. Not much though, it all still comes down to "go here, fight some people, run there, fight some more people, try to sneak in to assassinate your target, but likely slip up at some point and have to fight a bunch of people instead which turns out to be the easier option anyway."

I hate the stealth aspect of the game, because there's no damn crouch button, which would have made it so much better.

...There's a stealth aspect in AC2?

I mean, I remember forced stealth sections, but they were so terrible, because the game was obviously not designed with stealth in mind.

I mean sure, sometimes guards are or are not aware of you, but it doesn't really matter. It's so easy to just jump off the roof and kill whoever you want, then run from the guards. And if you can't run from the guards, it again doesn't matter, because you can kill an infinite number of them easily with counter attacks, since they only attack one at a time.

Wind Waker had better stealth.

Not that AC2 isn't a good game. It's a whole lot of fun! But maybe it should have been called Action Creed 2.

Like, this game had some cool stuff, but it was just so damn repetitive and basic.

Counter to oblivion, was the fighting style.

I heard the ending was strange, but this was like wut. How do you make any sense out of this?

That's kind of the point. Al Mualim had something that in no way should he have been toting around, and then Altair gets it, which AC2 expands upon

I just beat this too. Probably a 5/10, story was cool but gameplay was not so great. I really liked the first couple of major assassinations because you could really sneak up on them. But every time after it was impossible and then I'd have to fight like 20 guys and then have a really boring boss fight. I fail to see how the second game can be so much better if there's little stealth.

The second game really is an exponential leap in quality. It's much less repetitive, and Ezio is a much more likable character than Altair.

As for the stealth thing...meh. The social stealth aspect in AC2 and Brotherhood works great, but it does sort of go in a direction where it's more about an almost open conflict between the Assassins and the Templars. The real life Assassins killed their targets as publicly as possible to send the message that no one was safe, etc. They just didn't have magical parkour skills and were usually killed on the spot. So I've never had an issue with the idea of killing your targets so openly then having to run away.

This was my point, basically. You're an Assassin yet you can't really sneak up on anyone at all. It's lame. The fights got boring after so long because they're all the god damn same.

And claiming that I suck at the game to defend your love of it is really sad. It's impossible to suck at this game because it's so damn easy. I think the only times I ever died was when trying to free run, and Ezio decides to jump 45 degrees to the right instead of straight, so rather than landing on a safe foothold, I drop 40 stories to the ground. Not once did I find anything in the game challenging though.
