Remember all the people that use the argument "It would have been a masterpiece if it wasn't so damn repetitive!" Well, that problem was addressed. "Some will give you an assassination mission, others an intimidation or information-gathering mission," he added. "There is no limit now to the types of challenges we can give to players. We are very careful to create a lot of variation in the types of gameplay and pace we are proposing." http://www.nowgamer.com/news/670/assassins-creed-2-to-be-more-unpredictable . Whats going to be your excuse for not liking it this time? It's a good game but a bad sequel!?

well it still has the same combat which some hate. Doesn't seem they've changed the issue of there being only one way to assassinate someone. We'll see if they still have boring as hell information-gathering quests.

It isn't enough like the first one. that will be the biggest argument xD

Its not even out yet so I think we should probably hold off on judgement. But if they do get rid of the repetetive nature than I think this will be awesome.

PS3 gets some exclusive content(ish)

Or...

It will be boring.

I'm assuming you didn't finish the first game because you'd know you don't need to gather ALL the information. As for the combat system, they did a complete 'facelift' on it! Ezio only carries his daggers, but can disarm enemys and briefly use them. I believe over 30 weapons!

well ya know what they say about people assuming.  I most definitely did beat the game, and yes you don't have to do all the information gathering quests, but when they all suck that isn't really much help.  Not to mention I wanted to do them all to get *gasp* all the information so that maybe I could kill someone with a little forethought for once, but it always just degenerated into me running in there, killing the guy, and running away.  They should learn from games like Hitman.  Hell even Oblivion's assassin guild quests gave you more choices for how to kill a person than Assassin's Creed did.

The most obvious reason would be is if its buggy like the PC version of the first game.

I dunno, people will always find a way to hate great games, like GTA IV

If I remember rightly, the PS3 version was also buggy. So maybe they should work on fixing both versions.
