Assassin's Creed II was Released 10 Years Ago Today
- Thread starter Fiery Phoenix
- Start date
One of the best and greatest games in last generation, one of the biggest upgrades you can see in a sequel... that ending and sense of mystery stills top notch.
Also this is the first time I feel like a game has came out longer... the many AC games that came after is the reason.

those puzzles were and still are fascinating to me
they seemed to cool
I really wish Ubi would fix the busted LoD system in the PC version. If it were to finally happen, I'd play through the Ezio trilogy again in a heartbeat.
Magical game that sadly hasn't been surpassed yet by its own franchise, and is unlikely to do so because Ubisoft the corporation doesn't even get the series.
It will always stay with me as a experience that highlights the importance of a artistic vision over a sum of its parts approach.

Yeah, I loved how they tied historical figures with the artifacts.
The presentation video at E3 2009 really got me hooked. Great game, sublime OST (still my favorite since all that time) and the revelation with Eve and Adam was incredible.
There are ups and downs in the series, but AC2 will remain untouchable.

2 + Brotherhood were the series high for quite some time, but I think Origins and Odyssey finally surpassed them. Nuts it took that long though.
How well do they hold up? The remasters are on sale at the moment on PS4.

Damn, I'm old. I remember playing this before class in my first semester of college.
Such a good game, I miss when Patrice was in control of the series. The subject 16 video glyphs were amazing.

The way it addressed the criticism of the first game and improved everything that didn't work was spectacular. One of the best handled sequels ever. I haven't played the series much after that so I can't compare it to future games.
Also I concur the Adam and Eve video mystery was amazing. Uncovering it might be one of my favourite moments in gaming.

Cause they did everything they could to fuck over Patrice. The man was/is the heart of the series.
An absolutely fantastic game, an highlight of the previous generation and one of the best jumps in quality between sequels.
And yet ubisoft never even got close to having the same impact with the AC games. The defining traits of the series has always been interesting time periods with great architecture condusive to the parkour and likeable characters. Origins was good but I didn't like the rpg aspects of it.

*takes off in Da Vinci's glider*
Guard: "SHOOT! Shoot the flying demon!!"
I always laugh at that bit.
Oh, and anyone who missed that QTE to hug Da Vinci is a monster.

Black Flag is my favourite AC game despite the stupid amount of trailing missions but AC2 and the Ezio trilogy is easily the peak of AC. Nowadays it feels like a series that's just continuing on its name alone. Not a knock on its quality but it's not the same series any longer.
Brotherhood is my fav of all time but this is the assassins creed that made assassins creed, the foundatoon everything after built from. What ama amazing game, story and experience overall.
Are the remasters any good? Loved II and Brotherhood, kinda want to play them again without unboxing the PS3.
I remember the crowd going " Ouhhhhhhhh" when he did the double hidden blade stab
Good times
So many memorable moments. And Ezio is still the best Assassin's Creed protagonist. What a journey seeing how he started as an apprentice assassin hellbent on revenge and then becoming the mentor of the order.
A classic. What an absolute superhero leap from Assassin's Creed 1 which was ok to Assassin's Creed 2 that just....wow.
Will forever be in my top 2 favourite games.

Best setting in AC games, loved every location and completed all side activities. Crappy story though, by the end of the game I forgot why I was killing people (aside from templars = evil) and Ezio is a boring James Bond type of protagonist. I loved the lore bits, all the files you can unlock, and the ending is awesomely stupid. Punching the pope never gets old.
I never understood the hype for this game. I played for several hours and felt invincible in combat which completely drained my enjoyment.
