After ignoring assasins creed for many years, I picked up the original for the PC a few months ago. Couldnt get through it.
Picked up assasins creed 2 on PS3 the other week and have been playing it since. Loved it, after gaming all my life, I was considering this to be one of the better games I had played in the past 10 years.
Then I enter Visitazione's Catacombs for the assains tomb relic.
Holy fuck, holy fucking fuck.
I played lots of puzzle games in my years, but I dont remember any sequence more stupid and fucking frustrating as this concoction of retardation.
Getting enzio to jump from one point to the next, for some reason, in the rest of the game, it almost feel like it helps to aim you, no, not here;I jump left, enzio goes right, I jump right, enzio jumps back, I jump up, enzio dives.
Its a 5 point puzzel where you have to leap from ledge to ledge and land on a beam that acts as a switch, the switch completes part of the puzzle. However, for some stupid reasn, once you trigger each switch, you cant jump ff to the next ledge, you cant swing, you cant do shit. You have to drop into the water and swim all the way back around and start over.....the whole thing for some reason is on a timer, so if you mess up half way through and try to rejump, you run out of time and a vital ledge or beam rotates away and you have to go all the way back and retsrat.
This is lunacy. Its not just hard, its stupid. The whole rest of the game was well made. Every puzzle was challanging, but not pointlessly hard. There is zero, I mean no fucking way anyone enjoyed this part of the game. No matter if you pull it off right without the broken jumping mechanics and make all the switches, each time you need to drop and swim back and start over. If you even did it all 100% right, it would still take you 20min to do.
I just cant believe what the hell they were thinking. I dont rage, I never rage. Games entertain me, I dont let them get under my skin. But after 2 bloody hours, several checks of walkthroughs and shit, I yanked this potentially great game out of the drive, and smashed it against the concrete in my garage.
Fuck you Visitazione's Catacombs!
