Forums - Gaming - The Official Assassin's Creed II Thread

makingmusic476 said:

I have to say, Assassin's Creed II looks brilliant. It's sad that they felt the need to include the sci-fi stuff just to be "different" or whatever. The basic concept of the series is great, and both titles would probably be much better off without that crap thrown in.

Just look at the screens in the OP. Each one is drool worthy except for the last, which has me going meh.

This shot in particular is simply jaw-dropping:

Yay ! thanks for stickying the thread.

 

Wasn't at home the whole day, so I'm going to update it in the next hours.

Can't wait! Maybe we'll hear more about the illegal immigration crisis in mexico.

I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

While I am less excited about it than Modern Warfare 2, I still can't wait for it, and fantastic work with those pictures, really really great work!

I expect for PS3 and 360:
America:
First week 350k and 500k
Total 2m and 2.5m
Others:
First week 325k and 300k
Total: 2.25m and 1.7m
WW:
First day 675k and 800k
Total 4.45m and 4.2m

  PS3 360 Total
America      
First Week 350k 500k 850k
Lifetime 2m 2.5m 4.5m
Others      
First Week 325k 300k 625k
Lifetime 2.25m 1.7m 3.95m
WW Lifetime 4.25m 4.2m 8.45m

So overall, 1.4m first week and 8.75m LTD

Seems a little optimistic, I expect huge advertising from Ubisoft
As for metacritic, I expect 89ish

EDIT: put my predictions in a table



I heard some bells earlier and my first thought was "Oh, crap, I gotta get out of here!"

Then I realized I wasn't playing Assassin's Creed. >_>

I'm so excited for this game; almost more excited than I am for R&C! Almost.

I hated the first one. And I mean HATED it. I'm sure this one will be better though.

I'm not really sure about the premise of AC2 but is it like the first one? Where it's all Sci-Fi and shit? I hope not. Why not just make the game take place in the Renaissance?

What exactly was Sci-Fi in AC ?

The Animus ? Well that's a good way to explain why you're playing a dude who died a long time ago. You're playing Ezio for about 90% of the game and yes the game takes place during the Renaissance.

Didn't hatmoza have one of these beforefor Assassin's Creed 2? I don't remember.

What do you mean ? An official AC2 thread ?

Well he asked me to do it and voila here it is.



its sad to think this game and Ac would be epic if it didn't have the future theme kicking in but its own story.

I know people who just turned off their systems after playing AC and getting to the future scene

Honestly, do JRPG makers even realize how hard it is to save the world? That shit is impossible!

 

 

 

I really don't know why you people are so turned off by the future scenes.. It is the only thing keeping the game unique from a story perspective.
