Somebody warned me about the beginning of ACII and i have to admit, it was probably the most boring start to a game I've ever experienced. Apparently it was going to get much better after i got my weapons and now I have my weapons its still pretty fucking boring.

So does it get better or is Assassins Creed II nothing but wandering around Italian cities climbing the walls like spiderman and occasionally getting into a sword fight with the towns entire security force. Where is the thrill?

Whats the point?

If I have to escort another person across town I'm going to stop playing the game and return it.

It does get better, but thats the principle of the game, sneak around assassinate targets and learn about the story.

it is better than the first AC though.

How does it get better? Or is ACII just.. a guy walking around an old city. Sorta like Fable but with absolutely no excitement whatsoever?

I'm struggling to see why its so popular?

I like it better than the first game as there was more to do. However, once I got to the mid way point of the game I just stopped caring about the story as I found it to be boring. I did end up finishing the game though I really didn't care what or why things happened. I just wanted to clumb and kill shit.

Well that's the thing.. climbing gets super boring and the killing/fighting is so clumsy.. its not for me.

Well if that's the case, then don't bother with it then. The story is nothing special.

Maybe the first GRAW.

I'd say its better than Halo definitely.

I started playing the first Assassins Creed but can't get into it. It is very repetitive. I need to finish both of them though. Maybe just play for half an hour every few days until it is finished.

Remind me exactly why you NEED to finish them. Is there treasure involved?

AC1 was the worst for repetition, AC2 adds more stuff and better gameplay, combat etc, but overall its the same old same old.

But then again its like most games these days.

Halo 1 is to Halo 2 is to Halo 3 is to what Halo Reach is, same game different 3D engine for example.

Pretty much teh same as Just Cause 1 and 2. Same thing after a while. Im pretty much bored of JC2 even though its fun to destroy stuff it gets tedious doing the town missions and races.

OK, you know what I didn't mention in my little bitch above? The game does have great graphics and sound with large playing area.. its all good.. but it is still severely lacking anything to do. Such a large place with nothing to do.. I feel like I'm missing something... oh well.


there's obviously some GRAW love around, lets do something!

I never said it sucked, I never got chance to play much multi.

The only thing that did suck in GRAW was the cover system and controls were odd compared to Rainbow 6 Vegas (1 & 2) thats all.

I also understood where you were going with the subtle GRAW comment above too.
