Assassin's Creed II

[Prussian to the Iron]

The worst thing about these indoor fixed camera runs is that Ezio - rarely and randomly - jumps at a 45 degree angle to what I want, e.g. jumping slightly to the left when I want him to jump forwards. That leaves him sailing past the point he needs to grab or smashing his face into it so he falls down anyway.

oh god, so its not just me? that was horrendous. every time he did that i would yell at my TV "Why would he do that?! I told him to jump forward you bastard! jump ******* forward!!!!"

to be fair, my PS3 controller's movement stick is uber-sensitive as a result of all the times my siblings threw it because they couldnt beat a level in lego indiana jones 2, or because they wanted to play and couldn't.

I quite liked those platforming bits in the tombs, the bits I really disliked were where you had to chase the guard though a tunnel and he keeps putting obstacles in your way. It's not really the chase part that gets under my skin, more the fact that your ranged weapons are inexplicably disabled. Wouldn't throwing a dagger or shooting him be a more effecting way to stop him alerting the other guards?

are you even allowed to catch and kill them? I've never been able to. however when he alerts them, I just ambush them and take out 2 in the first jump-strike, so its all good.
