What? No AC:Brotherhood thread yet?

[Jehuty]

The best Assassin's Creed to date, and nobody posted about it?!

Multiplayer is fun.

I don't really like the idea of a company milk a series as hard as they are trying to with AC. A game in a year or less is just a money cow now, whether it is good or not.

What?

If you count all the portable and mobile games they've been pumping out more than 1 a year all along.

Anyway, all the reviews are glowing. And multiplayer gives me a reason to buy it rather than just rent/borrow like I did the first two. I'll get it when I get a PS3.

As long as they dont milk it much more than this, i dont mind the sidestory now and then, but as long as they continue the main story i'm cool.

Although i wouldnt do another PSP version unless they can make it MUCH better.

I honestly didn't know what this was.

Re: What? No AC:Brotherhood thread yet?

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Mora.

I'm a few hours into it now, and man am I rusty. They also added a very basic primer, so new players get teh jist of whats going on.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Mora.

I'm too lazy to google! How is this different from the rest of them that I haven't played?

[Jehuty]

Re: What? No AC:Brotherhood thread yet?

Well, the most obvious would be the online multiplayer.

Brotherhood also continues the story from AC2, with refinements in both story telling and gameplay.

I haven't picked this up yet, but I plan to... at first I'd thought this would be a multiplayer game with a bare-bones single-player campaign, but it seems to be pretty meaty all the way around.

Given that AC2 is a greatest hit and easily found for $30, John Mora, there's not much reason to duck that or Brotherhood. I've heard Brotherhood doesn't give much of an intro for first-time players as far as story goes though, from the review at 1up.

I think most would agree that you aren't missing too much by skipping the first game. I haven't played any of the handhelds.

Shard, if you think I haven't enough games to play, you are dead wrong.

Re: What? No AC:Brotherhood thread yet?

I'm in the same boat actually; it's why I probably won't pick it up until late December or January. Magus' reviews of P3P and FF: 4 Heroes made me want to go out and buy them that day, but I just can't find the time. I'm still trying to wrap up Resonance of Fate, which is pretty charming and has a unique and challenging battle system.

Just trying to make the point that $30 for AC2 is a lot of bang for your buck and a nice entry point to the series.

Guess... I should find some time to review things, too! =x

Never finished AC 2, I save a lot of the time and I never really cared to take 5 minutes to save every time. Long loading screens, etc.

It doesn't help I had the PS3 version.
