"Some will give you an assassination mission, others an intimidation or information-gathering mission,"

didnt they do that already on the first?

either way im not going to by it, no matter what the reviews say , my money wasted on ubisoft its a shame... a shame

@Carl
yes the PS3 version is getting exclusive content if you buy the PSP game aswell.

It sounds really cool on paper and hype, but all the depth you were supplying with your imagination goes away as shallow minigames/missions.

At least GTA IV and inFamous vary their missions in whatever way they can (story, dialogue, the mission itself). The only missions that I thought were sorta cool were the free climbing one, and that was only for the few really challenging climbs. The rest, like eaves dropping (WTF, you just sit on a bench and press Triangle), pick pocketing, and the god awful save the girl/priest missions were absolute shit.

Get rid of the game-breaking glitches and boring gameplay and we'll talk.

The fact that every time AC started to become interesting you got ripped out and shoved back into the present and were forced to waste time walking across the same bland room to listen to some lame-ass and his assistant talk up an unnecessary 2nd plot all the whilst thinking why oh why can't I just use my assassin's DNA powers and kill them both.

Although I'm sure this time when you get ripped out of the past it will be for something highly meaningful, hey maybe we'll get extra lucky and it will be 1 minute commercial breaks!

You make it sound like there weren't legitimate reasons to dislike Assassin's Creed and all were merely excuses, and yet your OP is filled with developer quotes that acknowledge there were problems that need to be fixed from the first title. If the things people hated about it get fixed, then those same people will like the game. Simple as that. Why are you under the assumption that everyone's dislike for AC were merely excuses and not legitimate concerns about a title that never changed up the situations you got involved in?

it teaches people how to be rude!

If I were drinking milk right now, it would have come out of my nose!

I'LL SUPER SIZE YOUR ORDER.

The game will get great reviews because Ubisoft will threaten reviewers like last time to give them good scores.

Despite the AI is absolutly dog shit and the combat sucks.

@ dinomas
that was eidos, Kane & lynch.
