Board 8 > Replaying AC2 makes me realize how awesome killstreaks are

(+) Yeah! (+)

in Brotherhood and Revelations

Like, it's kind of ridiculous that you basically just need to counter one guard and all of a sudden you can kill 10 of them, but there was something incredibly satisfying about it, even if it felt almost cheap.

2's combat just seems so clunky in comparison.

XIII_rocks, the cream of XIII fanboyism.

Kill streaks were a bit too...automatic for my tastes. Although I'm not a huge fan of AC's combat in general anyway.

I read that as Armored Core 2 and got sad when I realized that could not be what the title meant.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

I'm just the opposite; I wasn't a fan of killstreaks and I find AC2's combat more enjoyable.

I know what you mean. Like I said, you basically just had to time counters sort of...vaguely well and you can kill 10 in a row. But seeing Ezio do all that awesome-looking stuff was very satisfying. I like games where even the simplest action looks and feels satisfying. God of War does the same thing - even the most basic L1 + any button attacks are great.

Playing AC1 at the moment. The combat is pretty lame.

Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach your goals.

Kill streaks were great in ACR because certain enemies wouldn't instantly die from there. It was nice balance to AC2's slow, one-guy-at-a-time approach and ACB's dispatch them as quickly as possible problem.

AC1 ... is pretty lame.

That's all there needs to be said, really.

I tried to finish AC1 tonight, but some of the fights at the end were driving me crazy. Had to work really hard on countering.

Looks like i will end up finishing tomorrow
