Lots of awesome stuff in there. November 17th, looks like an Xmas present.

[Rebel]

God I wish November would come earlier, or it would be released earlier!

[DanManUtd]

Don't think I've been excited by a game's release since GTA:IV's.

Got this pre-ordered:

 

 

[Don Garcia]

I hate you. So much.

[EzaH]

Economy? Wow, epic.

 

 

Lot of two's are coming out on november. And twos in general.

 

Assassins Creed II

Modern Warfare II

Mafia II

Left 4 Dead 2

 

By far I'm looking forward to AC now. You can buy armor and swords? Epic.

[papanesta]

 

I hate you. So much.

You do? Tut tut, jealousy.

I wish they didnt add extra content that is not available unless you buy the super expensive edition. But I guess thats how they make money.

They'll probably make you pay MS points for it in the future. Personally the special edition box is a load of sh*t, I saw it on Play not too long ago. Then again I always think people are stupid for buying SE game packs when really, you'd end up getting all of the extra's on ebay sooner or later

 

Still really looking forward to the game though, like I said before I wish I could play it before November since it seems forever away. Especially after seeing the video the guy actually said he was playing the actual game.

I'm stupid for buying what I want? f*ck you.

 

I've had experience buying special editions on eBay, would not do it again.

Yeah I think its stupid that you'd pay a darn arm and leg for things that are just for show most of the time. So don't give me the f*ck you, I was just stating my opinion! Especially for £20 more you're paying for it I don't think you ever get enough extra things for me to ever think its worth it. Then again I'm not what you could call a hardcore fan of any game.

You think £70 is an arm and a leg? Oh dear.

 

So what does that make the MW2 Prestige Edition I have pre-ordered...?

 

And you called me stupid, I'll give you the f*ck you if I want.

[EzaH]

I hope there's some weird ways of saying Assassin in the game like the last one.

 

 

I like when they say 'Uh-sah-see-on'

 

 

I picture Doug from King of Queens saying assassin when I hear that.

Damn over reaction much? Yes I think £70 is alot considering I don't have a job and all of the spare cash I usually have goes towards helping paying bills and putting fuel in the car. Yeah I think even the normal edition is over priced for MW2.

Like I said, i've never seen the logical point my end because I've never loved a game enough to pay for a special edition. If you want to 'waste' you're money on them fair play, but personal oppinion is they never offer enough for me to think it's not a rip off. End of.

[Seddo]

 

Got this pre-ordered:

 

 

That figurine looks pretty smart, just looked on Play.com but can't see nothing so does anybody know what that bad boys dimensions are?

 

Adding three new bonus quests to the special edition that you have to pay for is a bit harsh but that's the way things are going in gaming these days, i suppose they'll also got flogged on XLM and PSN.

 

To be honest if you haven't got a job then i suppose a 50p Mars bar would be expensive, 70 quid is not that expensive to me either, it wouldn't burn a hole in my pocket. I bought the GTA 4 special edition and i don't even do anything with the contents i got.

[Abel.]

 

Got this pre-ordered:

 

 

I hope that figurine becomes available separately following release, I have a figure of Altair, and I think Ezio would make great company .

 

I'm glad they're using the a similar vegetation system from FC2, as it was one of the redeeming features of the game. I also hope that Ubi make more use of DX10 than the original.

I don't think I overreacted, but then again, I don't go around calling people idiots for being able to afford stuff, so I don't know what you were expecting.

 

I pay bills and have my own car, which I pay everything for, by the way. But unlike you, I bother my arse and have a job.

 

I don't need to love a game to get the special edition, I just like having them.

 

Maybe keep opinions like this to yourself next time. Insulting people because they buy what they want is pretty bitchy.

 

@Seddo, the only dimensions I could find online was somebody mentioning 8.5 inches, but even that was just a fan.

 

I got the GTA IV special edition as well. I love the keyring, it's on my car keys.

That's not a bad size actually, if it turns out to be pretty close to 8.5 then all is good.

damn you, I wanted to post it

it looks AWESOME.

[Guns N R0se]

Want! lol. That video was awesome

[papanesta]

Wow, very excited now.

 

The combat looks like dancing, which is pretty awesome. Very fluid.

 

That's Justice playing, right? Suppose I should check the YouTube page...

 

EDIT: Yeah, the song is Genesis by Justice.

[Creed Bratton]

One question: Is AC2 using the same engine and AC1?

[3minty3]

The begining of the trailer reminded me of the GTA 4 trailer walked forward and the bagrounds changed.

 

Also 1:05 the fast double punched was nicely sybchronised.

[Rebel]

That videos just made me want this game even more! I especially love the part where you can jump down and smash 2 guards from way up high like that.

[Benjimino234]

Am I the only one that doesn't really go, "Oh wow! It's so awesome!" Frankly in fact I got bored of Assassin Creed, it's fun to play and it came with the Xbox so I rather that rather than some import tuner street car racer in Tokyo.

 

I wouldn't call it a sandbox game, because it isn't. It's true all games lead to down a linear path like GTA but there is plenty to apart from missions.

In Assassin's Creed you can do the info missions that lead on to the assassination. Then the flag finding (yay now isn't that fun!), getting to view points and random killing sprees.

 

To every person I've talked to about these points and their best response is, "But climbing is fun! And it gets harder too!" WTF I admit climbing is fun but it can get repetitive and I'm serious that someone mentioned Assassin's Creed 2 and I started to talk to them and they did actually respond with, "It gets harder so its more fun."

 

ARGH *head explodes from too much retard exposure*

 

I might take a gander at Assassin's Creed 2, to see how much they improved or it's just 'shiny' with the new gadgets and toys Altair has and it's the same game-play that has a short lifespan.

Personally I found the first AC very repetitive and I'm sure everyone who's played it has felt the same thing. But it was the fact it was something different, kind of like spiderman crossed over to the dark ages..plus a lot of cool ways to try and kill the target and get away without anyone noticing, or trying to at least. All the other things you could do kind of just made me live with the 'bad' parts.

 

The game does get challenging towards the end of the missions (for me it did anyway) and frankly I'm glad they did. I don't know about anybody else, but actually playing a game that gets challenging in parts is the whole fun of it once you've finished since you feel like you actually did something.

 

By all means if you didn't like the first then you probably won't like this one since the basic things are all still there except tweaked. They even said that they got a lot of people saying it was repetitive so hopefully they've worked on that point along with a lot of other points.

 

At the end of the day, if you don't like it then don't play it.

[Guns N R0se]

For me the game got easier towards the end. The more tricks I learned for running and hiding the easier it was. And counter-attack made it impossible to be killed pretty much.
