#i just wanna go back to ac2 and get all the feathers and viewpoints

[foxstens]

ok yea i can’t say im having the most fun with brotherhood

it certainly looks better like the beginning in monteriggioni looked amazing it was so colourful and the cutscene also look great. but the controls feel worse somehow, like ezio only does what i want about half the time as opposed to 80%. the music hasn’t impressed me yet and i fucking hate rome i cannot express how much i hate hate hate rome oh my god i hate it more than any place in the first game aaaaaaaa. 

it’s either narrow streets or annoying hills and the architecture is shit and there’s so many people and they’re so annoying and i don’t like their outfits or how they behave and yea you can call a horse anywhere but using it on narrow streets /or/ hills isn’t that great especially when im supposed to be laying low. i guess its partly my fault bc i dont know much about rome so i expected it to be like venice but nicer, like colourful and modern-looking and with amazing music, but nah it’s none of those things i hate the overall feel of the city

you do get more money when looting corpses and you get trade items that you can sell for money or do stuff with i guess, and there’s this really cool main quest kind of thingy where you gotta go into restricted areas kill a guy burn a tower and that helps things. i love it since it’s very similar the kill 9 lieutenants part of ac2 which was like my favourite thing ever. ezio is still his wonderful self and i kinda like how the story is going i think, so there are some positives. the pistol is a lot faster this time around and you can lock onto targets form further away as well

but the guards have guns and crossbows i think and the lock-on tends to go from one enemy to another for no reason, and the entire game takes place in rome which, have i mentioned how much i hate it. there’s still 100 feathers to collect and a bunch of side quests and assassin tombs and treasure chests and you can help rebuild the city and yea there’s a ton to do. but. i wanna get the main story done with as soon as possible so i can move on and maybe go back to the first game and collect the damn feathers because that’ll be more fun than spending 50 hours in this place i absolutely despise

like i don’t hate the game i still love it and i do wanna see the entire story because i just love ezio so much but. dang. i really didn’t expect this. ive also heard there’s some questionable writing at times especially considering ezio’s actions in some parts and so im kinda worried. oh and the third game takes place in constantinople which???? i might also end up not liking based on the architecture??

ooooooh and there’s this other thing. so notoriety isn’t really a thing in this game as far as i’ve seen however each mission has some requirement for you to get 100% sync which will unlock some repressed memories. repressed memories sound fucking amazing and i’d love to get them all but some of the requirements are so fucking asinine. how do i do a parkouring room in 8 minutes when im on keyboard ubisoft you fucking shits im sgjdfsjis. i mean i could try to replay every single memory with a sync requirement until i get it but who fucking wants to do that NOT ME -_-

oh and the music for is of course different which makes sense but also sucks bc the specific theme that played during high tension missions was amazing and now it’s... not... and the music for when i sync with a viewpoint doesnt play when it should??? i dont think this is intended but idk how to fix it and it sucks. aaaand within the first 10 minutes ezio glitched out so badly i had to restart the game. amazing. i sure am having a time with this game

also the ending of the first game was lowkey wack bc yea character development-wise it makes sense that ezio didn’t kill the dude but it’s also like. this game wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for his choice in that particular moment. lmao. and that kinda makes him partly responsible for the attack on monteriggioni and uncle mario’s death which... holy fucking shit ezio’s life is so fucking sad wtf. but the way they tried to integrate the present-time sci-fi bullshit with the ending was terrible imo like what even is the point of that part lmao i sure hope it doesn’t show up too much here or in the next game :///
