BRAND NEW Assassin's Creed II Gameplay Footage

[A Weary Exile]

The first one was much too short.

Looks good . . . and now I've got to take a shower on an unrelated note.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Are they fixing the atrocious combat system in this one?

Am.. I the only one that liked Assassin's Creed's combat system? I rather liked the realistic speed-kill system, as it ment I could kill off guards realistically and at the same time kept the game from turning into action with bits of stealth mixed in.

So it's perfectly reasonable to have about 10 guys around you, but they attack you 1 by 1?

They go one at a time because they're afraid of Altair and waiting for their friends to go first so they don't get killed.

But I do think the combat needs to be tweaked a bit.

Man I can't wait to start cappin' fools.

Seeing as I've already bought, finished, reviewed, and replayed Arkham Asylum, ACII is the only game I currently give a toss about.

And this footage made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

I completely loved the combat of Assassin's Creed. It made me feel badass (especially when I beat a whole army using only the hidden blade). But they do need to fix the countering thing. I often attacked and tried to get combo kills to make it more fun, but then I constantly got people telling me, "Dude, just counter them!"

I dunno. I liked the first one. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad; better than average, but not legendary. I have a feeling that this one will do no better (and probably slightly worse). But I've been wrong before on many an occasion, so if I do come across this game (used, for a good price, 2-5 years from now), I'll pick it up.

Awesomecakes. I liked the first one and all its' flaws. Well.. Maybe not the repitition..

This looks like jolly good fun. Going to pre-order, I think.

Did he just comment on the beggars and how now you have a tool to shut them up?

They're bringing the beggars back? Egh...

I'm not looking forward to the game. I didn't like the first one and this one looks very similiar just in a different time era.

Got too agree there, I liked the combat system, even if it did end up a little repetitive. Something about slapping those guards so hard the turn around so you can run them through just kept me doing it again and again.

That's exactly what I thought... hardly seems like something to brag about. I personally hated the simulation aspect of the first game, not only was it completely irrational it also constantly ruined immersion. Nothing like getting chased by a bunch of guards and then seeing random blue numbers flash through the screen to remind me I'm playing a simulation... while I'm playing a simulation.

I got stuck behind the big blue wall somehow my first time through and had to restart what I was doing even though I had already gotten almost all the way through the mission.
