Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

So we are here to play and talk about
A lot of people like it! Reviews are glowing but you aren't here to read reviews, and if you are just head over to its Metacritic page, close your eyes, spin your mouse around really fast and click one because it will be a positive review.
It is the direct sequel to
Which a lot of people also liked! It is awesome, and it's highly recommended you play it before jumping into ACB. It added a lot to the franchise in terms of crazy Da Vinci Code-like story depth, mission variety, likable and memorable characters, light world-building and a billion other things. All told, it was a stellar sequel to:
Love it or hate it. Most people hate it. There were small glimmers of the fantastic game that AC2 is hidden underneath layers of repetitive missions, a terribly trite and boring story (until the end, which is the lead-in for AC2), shallow combat (in comparison), tiny weapon selection, motherfucking 300 collectible flags that you're supposed to find by sheer luck, and then like a bunch more Templar dudes that you had to kill but they could be kinda hard and the game was really a mess in a lot of ways. But a mess with potential, dammit, so it's nice that Ubisoft didn't shy away from their game that sold roughly a hojillion copies.
On the plus side, Kristen Bell for whatever reason looks much better in AC1 than in 2 or Brotherhood.
I heard there's a lot of face and neck stabbing, how do I stab other PAers in the face and neck?
I don't really play the multi and thus don't know a lot about it, I gathered this from Kadoken's OP. If you feel I'm missing something vital, let me know.
T4CT was kind enough to make a Brotherhood meta tag on Xbox Live: Simply add the tag PA Brotherhoodas a friend, and select "view friends" to see all the other friends of the meta tag.
PSN doesn't have anything cool like that, so here is the PSN player list Kadoken collected from the last AC thread. PM me if you want to be added to it.

I am playing AC2, help me find the feathers because there isn't a cool in-game map to find them like in Brotherhood!
GamesRadar has a pretty good guide up for this.
When's the PC version coming out?
Never! Oh wait, actually it's Q1 of next year. It's going to have Ubisoft's retarded DRM, so ask yourself: Is this really a route you want to go down?

Threw some hired mercs at the target and then called in a brotherhood hit when the clumsy but energetic mercenaries started mixing it up, all while I lounged on a bench down the street.
That was pretty cool, I have to say. I'll still get my hands dirty from time to time, just to keep my skills sharp, but having the option of brotherhood assists introduces a whole new option of how to attack a given mission.
And man, you can spend a shitload of time doing nothing but managing assassin missions.
Your dealings with these "actual people" starts and ends with planning their death, sooo~
(It's fantastically fun)
Pure joy is distracting guards with courtesans, then calling assassins on them as they flirt

While I like the combo weapon finishing moves, the spadone is just such a kickass weapon. I enjoy the hell out of throwing it at people.
If I have one "complaint" about the game, I think it's that I liked Venice and Florence better than Rome. I like Rome well enough, but Florence and especially Venice just had such great flavor - carnivale and everything.

They literally BURY them.
I am never signing up for this ever again.
EDIT: They've actually REMOVED the page.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Do I have to put a stop payment on it from my bank or something?
I played through AC and it was pretty neat so I'm gonna get this videogame here
should I play the 2nd one first? I heard this one is basically 2.5 so would I be better off skipping 2 and just doing this
guide me AC thread
guide me in the ways of game buying
(the storyline isn't a big deal for me I just want to have fun parkouring around and maybe stabbing strangers)
Unequivocally yes, play the 2nd game. This game is probably a little better, but 2 is still a damn fine game. Plus I feel the plot of 2 should not be missed.
