that was eidos, Kane & lynch.

Nope, happen to a friend of mine with his site.  Ubisoft sent him an email saying the were hoping for a score around 8 to 10 or they wouldn't supply him with review copies or allow press access either at E3.   

Same happen with gametrailers, gave the game a high score then placed up it straight away with biggest dissapointment of the year nominees, it won biggest dissapointment.

The game was well marketed to the point we all believe there female producer actually made the game (not those pesky writers or concept artists)   Assasins Creed 2 could crash your system (much like the first one did on my 360)  and we wont hear about it.

Like I said.  It will get high scores and be filled with bugs like the last game.  Our so called reviewers wont have the balls to properly critise it.

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

I loved GTA4! Hate started to come around when Reviewers started to hand it 10 across the board and MGS4 and there was no 11's to be found....

Maybe because those reviewers started telling us those games are perfect and deserving of there scores when other games do what they did (and better) didn't recieve the same treatment.

 

Dats BOOSHIT!

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!?

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?


Yes! thats exactly my point! Read people's posts in this thread. The majority of people that dislike the game don't even know the diversities in taking out the main targets. It sounds like all the nay sayers did when they played the game was jump into a crowed of soldiers sword first, and mow down people with their horses. Of course your going to dislike the game if your not going to play it correctly. Then they throw the controller in disgust because the controls seem too challenging, they read some reviews, and see the word "repetitive".  And boom! It's all over the forums!

Yes it is an excuse! And it's dragging a good games name in the mud.

It's in Hatmoza's avatar?

Nah, this second game actually looks pretty good. Maybe.

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.

You did not just compare AC to the disgrace which is oblivion!

I see where the problem is here! You played this on the PS3?? Because if you did, you weren't rewarded for a stealth assassination! I think I finally understand why people felt this game was fruitless!


That comment made me disappointed Hatmoza. Oblivion and Assassin's Creed are both incredible games, and Oblivion is the one game that rule all other games. The only little flaw in Oblivion was the leveling system (enemies level with you), but it's a minor detail in the big picture, and also that design feature has a good excuse in that it's very hard to design a game and keep it challenging when your are free to go anywhere you want - in the largest game ever made.
