Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed II Less Repetitive, Is "Unpredictable"

Apparently, the flag hunting is being overhauled as well, with collectibles that A)Are more logically found and B)Have an effect on gameplay, rather than just achievements.WanderFreak said:
it's not only that it's that while it does repeat a lot of stuff, there's enough variety to keep everything fresh, assassin's creed just stagnated after the first city or so, there wasn't enough variety, i mean there was either a pick the pocket, listen to the guy or beat someone up anda couple side missionsbue519 said:
Really? The climbing in that game felt really unpolished... I hated it. AC climbing I loved. Although, I don't understand why you have to hold down the FEET button to CLIMBbue519 said:
Why is this on the news page? We knew this for ages already. That said, it's still great to hear. I just started AC again after barely touching it after I got it, and even though the flaws I disliked back then I enjoy it a lot more. Mainly because I don't suck at the combat as much as I sucked at it back then, though I must say that I still find moves like the double kill combo a bit too narrow on the timing. Combat shouldn't be easier, but please make pulling off combo moves a bit less annoying by giving us a bit more margin in wich we can press that second button. That can be balanced out by making the guards fight more active, for example.
I don't care what they do, if my awesome ninja descending eagle knife pounce of awesome gets blocked again, I'm going to eat a brick. I waited through like 5 minutes of crap just for a gap in the crowd so I could do the awesome move, then the son of a ***** flips me. I didn't mind the stupid horse riding, or the repetitiveness, and I could deal with the crazy dudes and the beggars, it was always their counters which drove me absolutely insane. I mean it was Assassins Creed, I'm meant to be able to do some Assassin type stuff, not fight with two dozen guards and a bloody mule, I'm supposed to be sneaky.
Other than my hate for the blocking system, I hope they can keep a lot of the coolness of the old game, some of the scenery was just amazing.
edit: Now I'm on a new page and feel awkward.

Woot! I loved the first game so I can't wait for this one to come out. I hear much complaining about the combat in the first one and I can agree to an extent. I would watch my friend play the game and when he fought guards, he would just sit there and fight every guard that came up which got boring... This is how I could really only see the combat being repetitive. I would always just kill one or two then break off and run. The escape was the most exciting part of the game to me. But I am glad they are improving the fighting system, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Oh and I watched some of the trailers and it looks like a gun has been added to his arsenal which will be interesting.
But all in all, nice to see a developer listening to the people for once!

Sounds good, but I'd estimate two thirds of what they say will be lies. Same old story, constant disappointment will be experienced if we believe the hype.
Also, if there is not a gondola escape scene the game will be an utter failure.
