    Ok I'm back from Gamestop with AC2

    Someone mind spoilering the end of AC1 for me so I have some idea what the hell's going on? (Or will the start of AC2 do that for me?)

    So because of this thread, I am buying this game

    When it first came out it seemed that is was just going to be a multiplayer spin off so I completely wrote it off

    But now that I see it is a full fledged game

    It can have my monies

    I urge you not to write off the multiplayer aspects of this game

    I'm not usually someone who gets into multiplayer usually but this is crazy fun

    Yeah me too

    It was fucking annoying for AC1, but less so in AC2, and I think it will end up being a pretty decent story overall once all the games are out

    Since Ezio knows Desmond is basically watching him all the time now, he spends the whole game mumbling stuff to him / talking to himself

    indiana jones really isn't the same thing at all

    It is the same.

    In the sense that people flipped their shit at the new one being really weird and crazy when it was actually pretty much in-line with the level of craziness of the previous indiana joneses.

    Just like the craziness at the end of assassin's creed 2 is pretty much par for the course for assassins creed

    The VR missions are aces and everyone should do them as soon as they're available, or at least the combat ones

    Once you get really good at combo killing you become an unstoppable force without ever having to wait for counter kills

    Nah, he came into the AC2 thread when it came out and talked about how it was improved, but not much

    I mean obviously he was wrong, but still. It's not like he faded into non-existence on release day.

    yes, this

    There was enough plot with the Templar attempting to take over the world and all

    I think the Vault was only a surprise if you didn't go after Subject 16's glyphs. I don't think Minerva said anything new that wasn't already hinted at in all those puzzles.

    I'm not so sure about that
    finding evidence of the pieces of Eden all throughout history does not equal humanity being created by an alien species and -oh- a solar flare is going to kill everything and I'm all knowing so I know someone down your bloodline is going to hear this and everything just in time to save the world

    it was a little much, considering the rest of the game's plot involved Ezio avenging his family and, in the present, Desmond dealing with memory bleeds and learning how to be an assassin

    I loved the ending to AC2 so much

    So, so much

    The only thing that was dumb was sparing the guy, and they had to do that, because, you know, history.

    It's nice to see Ezio get bitched out about it in this game

    When you could hear them or see the subtitles, which on my old TV especially, was not always, a lot of the ramblings of the crazy guy in the background of the Glyph puzzles hinted at quite a bit of stuff.

    That said I really enjoyed a lot of the crazyness and am apparently one of the few who enjoyed the Desmond section in the first game a whole bunch so I definitely have my own biasses and i know not everyone likes what I like.

    Not really
    The Sun being a source of destruction was part of several of the puzzles and the clues to unlock them. The only big surprise at the end was that they were talking to Desmond instead of Ezio.

    I love the game's plot. If it was just crazy it would have sucked, but it went so far past crazy that it became great. Especially after the first game's plot didn't really kick in until right before the end credits.
