But Brotherhood was just as good.

>>383369147
classic RPG progression, generic revenge story and Italy
perfect combination, we count all three in one right?
BF was good as well for almost same reasons

than we got retarded MC, a bunch of frenchies and brits
all three had nonsensical stories without any likable characters or focus
also going beyond 16th century is a waste to say the least
not even going to touch on gameplay, goes without saying

>>383369147
reason is Directed by Patrice Désilets. and learned their lessons from the first ac game.

Because it's pretty solid if not near perfect in every department.
>Great artstyle combined with a unique setting, never really done before and immerses you completely in renaissance Italy.

>utterly fantastic soundtrack

>great combat, still challenging like the original but no where near as repetitive, stealth is still a mechanic you must use.

>story is actually great because it doesn't get it's self caught in the modern setting too much, and all the characters were good

I might be going overboard but AC 2 is a solid 9/10.

I despise this series and enjoyed only the pirate one, should I give ezio a try?

>>383369381
generic revenge story ha. you sick-fuck retard uncapable of solving glyph puzzles. and not remembering minerva ending. those who came before etc.

>>383369147

I do not agree that literally any of the games is trash.
But at the same time most of them were not worth full price. I got the entire ezio collection for 10 bucks, got 3 for free and 4 for a few bucks and I enjoyed the fuck out of those games.

But boi did they butcher the story, what the hell was that?

>>383369564
no you can't understand this masterpiece. if you llike le pirate ship may may

2 and brohood are shining examples of just how much a great soundtrack can propel a game.

Jesper Kyd is a demigod

Way hay and up she rises

>>383369381
> generic revenge story and Italy

one thing I genuinely hate about this game (and just the assassins in general) was that he spared the main culprit who was the reason of all his misfortune while basically murdering half of Italy for far lesser transgressions during his quest for revenge

but gotta keep that ''''''historical accuracy''''''' intact!

Assassins and Templars have been at it since Adam and Eve times as le sekrit club, right? Why did the Templars go all out everywhere in Altair times according to the games?

seriously though, romans are boring for the reason them being a lot like modern society, or at least close to it in essence, also too uch information about romans

>>383370819
why would you leave ezio on cliffhanger?

>>383370819
brotherhood is ac2 expansion featuring Rome

>>383370898
you should do 2-BR-Revelations and watch a youtube video of Ezio last days on portable for maximum devastation.

>>383369147
>perfect
It absolutely isn't. The gameplay may have been better than the first game, but the really ruined the story. Why did they waste the potential?

>>383370368

Not sure they were really all that secretive in the early days but in AC1 they were an overpowering force because the Assassin leader was actually one of them or at least working with them.

I like AC, but the combat has never been even mildly challenging.

>>383371594
AC1 PC version before patches was nightmare.

>>383369478
AC2 has the least challenging combat unless you force yourself to not use counter-attacks and hidden blades

>>383369901
well, in the book it's stated that borgia has siphylis, so ezio just assumes he'll die for the fatigue of the fight in a dishonorable, meaningless way. ezio was wrong tho

>>383371594
In Unity you can get your ass kicked real quick.
>Bullet-dodging enemies
But it's just a matter of levelling up because they decided to turn AC into an rpg or something.

>>383369147
the first game is better

>>383369147
Because Patrice knew what he was doing, the first AC was decent but flawed simply because how repetitive it was, but it had a decent story, he took it and vastly improved upon it in every single way.
better graphics, amazing soundtracks, variety in locations, better characters, better writing, better and more varied weapons etc.. etc..
he left Ubi early in the development of ACB and that game didn't even try to improve, its just AC2 without its magic.

>>383373331
Where'd Patrice go?

>>383369147
Brotherhood was better

>>383372339
No, Brotherhood and Revelations were even less challenging, due to the combo finisher system. In AC2, after you perform a counter or a finisher, you still have to fight the other enemies. In ACB and ACR, after performing a counter or a finisher, you just mash the attack button and kill all the enemies in one hit.

I non-ironically liked 3 better, Haytham was fucking God tier and it showed the Templars in a more neutral light.

Because Renaissance Italy is one of the most bountiful and rich periods to set a pseudo-historical game and have fun with the setting.

In retrospect I've become found off of No Revelations too.

I liked Syndicate

AC 1 had the best setting / atmosphere and felt very original for it's time

AC 2 improved the combat significantly and had much more content. but it already showed first signs of what is yet to come (AC becoming more generic and mainstream)

>>383369147
I thought 1 was better.

AC2 was the start of the casualisation of the series, as well as the point where it became historical GTA.

Problems with 2 include:
>easy combat that removed the challenge that was there in 1
>the conflict between the Templars and Assassins was reduced to "Assassins= good, Templars= bad"
>very little of the game involves assassinations
>armour, gadgets and weapons that make the game even easier

2 felt like an attempt to pander to memesters who didn't understand that AC1 was trying to be an assassination sim rather than a GTA clone.

>>383376119
After 3 they moved to assassins are dick bags

Even Syndicate had Jacob pointing out the hypocrisy of the creed and that games story segments were questionable

>>383375680

But you could just counter and kill everyone in one hit in AC1.

>>383370757
>romans
>close to modern society
not in the slightest, especially in the Hellenic areas.

>>383376597
Counters required timing in 1, where as they don't in 2. Elite enemies in 1 also can't be countered unless you wear them down first.

>>383369147

I haven't played AC1 since it came out, but I remember it was pretty bad. Full of bugs that made the game freeze, repetetive missions, boring scenery, etc
AC2 was much better, but I agree the fights were easy and the plot was silly.

What I don't like is his costume never changed
Why is he still wearing the retarded hood in the 1700's? Why not actual clothes that let you blend in with society?

He looks like a retard steampunk pimp, first of all his top hat isn't made of silk it's not shining, it's too short that's a dressage hat made for riding and the band appears to be leather. This is all wrong.
He hasn't a tie on, his open shirt like that would have been indecent, a closed shirt in white with a stiff collar would have been better with a tie,
His waistcoat has an okay design back then some of them could have crazy designs but the overall cut isn't accurate again it looks steampunk.
The coat I guess is the best part but they could have picked a better coat, I think an Ulster would have been a lot better.
I don't like that Victorian now means steampunk the designs look really stupid, this costume in pic related would be just fine as an assassin costume maybe change the hat if you want, without the coat you can have him in a morning suit so he would have the flowing tails when running

that screenshot is from the france missions that literally take place 20 years later.

I wish Rogue had eventually gotten ported to Ps4 and Xboner. It really could have benefitted from the slight graphical and performance upgrade. Playing on the Xbox one backwards compatibility thing shows that it's sluggish as fuck and kinda ugly. I know it was more or less a reskin of Black Flag, but more BF is a good thing.

Funny you guys whos first was 2. Becs 2 is comepletely flat and boring.

>Capture an enemy gang's territory

>For some reason you hold an official fight with the other gang's leader in bright daylight in the middle of the street, with an official observing it and crowds cheering
That was absolutely retarded. Syndicate's London feels like everybody's high on hard drugs all the time, they don't act like people.

Also:
>a tranny's choice of gender is respected by other people instead of being ridiculed
>a pair of notorious gangsters is friends with a police officer, the prime minister and his wife, and they even get knighted by the queen
>That rope launcher
They completely screwed up the setting, nothing makes any sense.

Also a morning coat was only semi formal back then, men wore frock coats for formal daytime clothing
This is from the 1870's a decade after the game is set, but you get the idea, the working class still dressed up suits and ties and hats.
Yes a bowler Hat would be great, back then it was a working class hat, it was first invented by Lock & Co. in London as a hat for a gentlemans estate game keepers, his game keepers wore top hats but the branches kept knocking them off.

Yes? If the victim doesn't notice or escape you, you still get full points, and even if you don't, you get more points for slaughtering half a dozen people in a minute vs spending that minute sitting in cover waiting for the perfect stealth kill. The multiplayer had fuckall to do with being an assassin.

No, some bowler hats were really tall, there were dozens and dozens of at makers in London alone back then, they each would have had their own style.
If the shirt had a starched stiff collar you couldn't pop them, they were stiff as cardboard, I don't really know if working class men with soft collars would have popped them up, I guess if they're working and it's hot they might to cover their neck but I don't think it would be a style choice.

Here's some working class men, I think this photo was after the game is set but the working class generally speaking dress in clothing that would be "business" clothing today.
It's always like that, the morning tail coats were originally made as riding coats, then they became a business coat in the Victorian era, then they were semi formal, and now they are the most formal suit you can wear during the daytime.

>>383381613
That's fucking wrong
If you just run around you stand out to both your hunters and targets, it's easy to avoid or hunt you down once they lock onto you
For a reckless kill you got like 150 points or something
Where for a full focus stealth one you could get over 1k if pulled off correctly, plus you don't stand out to get knocked down or killed

That second guy has the classic bowler Hat style which survived to this day, unfortunately hat makers forgot how to make the brim curl like that (seriously) so most people would consider vintage bowler hats to be superior quality to modern ones, even just going back to the 1950's.

I don't study it, it's just something I'm interested in not with just clothing but general things from the mid to late Victorian era to the Edwardian era. I looked through 500 pages of a sears catalogue from 1912 (I think that was the date) just to see what general household goods like nail clippers, or whatever would have looked at that time, I like seeing random stuff like that and how different they are from today.
My dream is to have a Christian fundamentalist wife who will pretend it's the Edwardian era with me and will dress in old style clothes with me (pic related is made in the USA) listen to the phonograph or read some old Victorian novels together and raise 6 kids with me. I don't think that will ever happen though
