OP has vids and scores, but that doesn't help me much, since AC the first did good in those two departments as well. So tell me NeoGAF, in what ways is this better than AC and why is it worth my time and money? No other games to buy this Christmas, so I was wondering if I would bite or wait for the other big hitters late winter/early spring.
Thanks for your replies =)
First and foremost, the structure of the game is completely different. Think more about it now as an epic action adventure game, like Zelda or GTA. Game progresses in a very natural manner as the plot moves forward, story missions are massively different from one another, unlike AC1 where you do the same fucking thing 7 times throughout the game.
New/improved/changed from AC1 gameplay-wise:
-Expanded swordfighting combat system with the ability to disarm opponents and steal their weapons
-Expanded fisticuffs combat system with grappling mechanic
-Weapon, item, armor and clothing shops
-Many different weapons
-Customizable clothes
-You own a Villa, which you can fix and remodel. You will gain profit from this, which you can use to buy new weapons or armor
-A LOT of side missions/side quest independent from the story, and they're all fun to do unlike AC1
-Really, really awesome racing/free-running missions
-Notoriety system. Continuing doing insane actions will put guards more and more on alert. There are several ways to decrease your notoriety and return to an incognito status
-Grand Theft Gondola
-You can swim, lulz
Oh yeah, most importantly, you can disarm your opponents and then hack them to death with their own weapons. Like a baus.
