So, recently i have been trying to play Assassin's Creed 2... i know this game was somewhat critically acclaimed and tons of people out there supposedly love it. The actual game is ok - there are elements that i don't like (see partial list below). i think i'm on the 9th chapter or whatever they call it. i find it strange that games like this don't get slammed by people for being repetitive.
i find this game a hell of a lot more frustrating than fun. i have at least 8,000 words describing my current feelings for this game . There are a lot of repeats and very few would make it through language filters. If this game weren't so frustrating it would be better than the first one (frustrating but doable). i have seriously considered breaking the stupid disc. Difficulty levels are good. There are way too many timed sections as part of the main story.
Not only that, but this game takes some of my least favorite video game elements and adds them into one:
* Annoying puzzles - just to have annoying puzzles (referring to glyph puzzles)
* Poorly controlled vehicles (check) - i hate vehicles in games
* Escort Missions
* Stealth following missions
* Running down the enemy missions.
* Camera that seem to mess up occasionally (run and camera at same time is impossible)
* Jump puzzles (tons of them - forgivable without the next bullet point)
* Timed events - i hate timed events, especially jump puzzles (which are hard enough without a clock). Weird camera angles seem to crop up while doing these too. i am trying a assassin seal (in Venice) and am really annoyed. Why does the camera always face the wrong way at the start of these?
