Ah yes, the golden era of Assassin's Creed. These games are not very moddable unfortunately. That said, Eagle Patch is good for controller support and the parkour overhaul mods for 1-Rev look fun, but I've never tested them myself since they use cheat engine and I couldn't get them to work on Linux
I did eagle patch for 1, definitely planning that for AC 2 as well. I might not touch the parkour mods though. I tried cheat engine for 1 in an exercise to make a free cam (I wanted to make a psuedo photo mode for myself), but just couldn't get it to launch.
This was a great demo for AC2. But a little too long for a demo, should have been just one city.
The Ezio Trilogy is definitely the best of AC. I never really got into the others. Just not the same vibe and atmosphere.
the first one is definitely rough. i really liked the story beats but it is the clunkiest of the bunch. 2 and its spinoffs are all excellent though, the levels really shine in those. try out the tourist mode too.
The combat was where i struggled the most, especially the segments where it throws you into combat with like 10 enemies. Towards the end there were like 3 of these sections back to back and it was tiring. I did like the story though. Altair especially gained a few points with me
yeah forced encounters are always ass. and nice that you liked altaïr! he's never coming back.
Hm, I have no ideas about mods for 2, unfortunately. I only played it once, and that was back in the day. I remember absolutely loving it, and I've been hesitant to go back because I don't want to sully my memory of it.
And my backlog is too long to be replaying games, anyway.
That how I thought until I got a non-gamer girlfriend and have found great joy in sharing the games that brought me joy. She's slowly transitioning into a bit more of a gamer and we get to play games I always wanted to check out from past ages or revisit old favorites. We're a little over halfway through Uncharted 3, when we finish that series (new to me as well) we'll return to Assassins creed, which I loved back in the day.
That sounds lovely! If I ever get a partner (and they're a non-gamer that is open to getting into gaming) then that sounds like a delightful thing to do together.
Its been quite fun, the secret has been letting her play as much as she wants and being the backup if there's a difficulty spike on easy that she struggles with. I feel like I understand my older brothers perspectives on gaming with me growing up a bit more now.
