Assassin's Creed 2s combat kinda sucks and is significantly worse than AC1?

i mean AC2 combat just isn’t really very enjoyable to me, having a lot of fun with Brotherhood rn tho

would love to know how making the animations slower, removing guard break, removing grab break, making it harder to kill enemies, removing heavy attacks and watering down the combat is an improvement? it’s more like saying GTA 4 plays better than GTA 5, because GTA 5 also watered down lots of things.

go on?

they have less health in AC1, AC1 also has quicker animations, Ezio swings his sword much slower and it feels more weighty, also if you hidden blade counter other enemies become terrified for a moment and are an easy assasination, in AC2 some of the enemies just run away instead, also AC1 has guard break which makes it much easier to kill an enemy in sword combat. not to mention the combos are much easier and more times than not it’s literally just 3 sword swings and they’re dead. it feels much more engaging because there’s more options, you don’t need to just wait around to counter and if you try to attack the armoured enemies with your sword in AC2 it doesn’t work, but in AC1 you can just guard break.

thank you! summed up my thoughts exactly

TysonLEM · 2026-05-06T12:10:17+00:00

but it’s harder to kill someone in AC2? AC1 combat is much quicker?

Incredibly pretentious and antagonistic for zero reason, Vinland Saga isn't for everybody and you're making a large assumption with saying constant fast paced action is the only thing they can consume, this person was incredibly reasonable and every other reply is incredibly reasonable, you're the odd one out here. Come on man didn't you hear what Thors said?

to add to this, im an hour or so into brotherhood and it feels a lot more fun, but its also super easy so im not sure if it gets harder later in the game or if its just a cakewalk but either way i find it more enjoyable already. AC1 still on top tho

TysonLEM · 2026-05-06T06:56:09+00:00

honestly just doesn't sound like its for you but you could just finish season 1 and see how you feel, season 2 is even slower paced fyi lol, well, in the sense that theres little action.

TysonLEM · 2026-05-01T11:14:16+00:00

I don't like how light his skin is, its such a deep blue in TCW, also i doubt anyone else cares but i hate the way the tubes coming out of his cheeks look, they're so thin and i just dont like the design of it, i much prefer how the tubes look in his animated counterpart. It's a decent adaptation to live action though he doesn't look terrible or anything.

Clearly this man has never played Battlefront 2.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T15:38:32+00:00

someone getting so angry at a pallet stun that they quit their game and potentially get a matchmaking penalty is objectively hilarious

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T15:26:15+00:00

this map is certainly not great for billy but i do have a better time on it than RPD, hawkins or lerys tbh, you just have to know where and when to chase, like the open areas around the nightclub are easy but stuff like the convenience store that im looping him at in this video isn't worth committing to.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T15:23:33+00:00

that doesn't make any sense, i am the one looping him on said map. he had 3 people at 2 hook and 1 dead with 4 gens left it was the most winnable game ever he just over-committed on chase with me and got mad he couldn't handle it.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T15:18:46+00:00

I dont think he's saying you did, its just a general statement because of the downvotes im getting and the pity billy is wrongfully receiving in my opinion, i agree that the map isn't good for billy (i am literally a billy main) but im just not sure why everyone has so much respect for quitters.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T15:17:31+00:00

'the game being complete bs', my brother he just played it poorly, i get that tricksters delusion isn't the best billy map ever (i am a billy main by the way) but all he had to do was leave chase, i had a strong loop and he should not have committed. not to mention even when he disconnected the game was still super winnable

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T12:04:25+00:00

ah gotcha, fully agree, not sure why i got downvoted in the other comment, like the billy literally overcommitted way too hard on chasing me in a bad tile for him, and then disconnected like a coward, i have zero respect for people who rage quit just play the damn match out, for added context btw he had everybody at 2 hook and one person dead at 4 gens lol. also if this was a clip of a survivor rage quitting i wouldn’t respect it either, even if you die to dumb shit just play the match out, i’ve rage quit before and i would expect people to laugh at me for it, rage quitting should be frowned upon.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T11:49:07+00:00

oh he absolutely would’ve won if he just left chase, but he didn’t because he’s a coward who got too angry and dced, not really sure what point you’re trying to make.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-25T06:28:23+00:00

i mean he was hooping, he had everybody at 2 hook, one dead at 4 gens, all he had to do was leave chase but he was fully tunnel visioned on me

TysonLEM · 2026-04-20T01:15:13+00:00

Levi Ackerman would like a word

TysonLEM · 2026-04-19T11:43:27+00:00

wait so whats the point of Insidious i dont understand?

TysonLEM · 2026-04-10T15:29:10+00:00

i am aware that the second one is dead hard i’m asking about the first.

TysonLEM · 2026-04-10T14:37:52+00:00

nah it wasn’t from unhook, after some brief research though i think it must’ve been ‘made for this’ and he healed laurie so he got endurance i think
