Obsidian made good titles, Neverwinter Nights 2 etc.

Yep, exactly my point. Unfortunately most people remember them for KOTOR II.

I quite liked KOTOR2. Ok it wasn't KOTOR, but it was still impressive in a way.

Aye. It certainly wasn't deserving of all of the criticism it's received over the years. I guess if a sequel doesn't live up to its predecessor it's an instant flop for some people.

The trouble is, the "haters" seem to be majority with a lot of games and can really hurt a game because they're on all of the forums ripping them apart, but the fact is they're actually a small percentage of those who bought the game; the ones who like them are actually playing them. CH has the same problem - most of the posts here will be those complaining about a game and telling everyone not to bother, compared to a small percentage complimenting a game (same goes for actual trainers... hell, same goes for CH itself).

That was more derailment, but it's a part of the gaming world which really bugs me. This isn't directed at anyone specifically either =P so no one take offense.

You say that, but a game that cant boot if your PC is set to higher than 2.1, ruling out all with usb sorround headsets who cant change to 2.1... then the game is simply bad. Sorry.

The trainer was taken down, it wasn't working it seems.

Huh? If you're talking about audio, I have 5.1 and the game's working just fine.

Anyway, this is a bit of a dead topic now, but thought I'd just put my own two cents in. I'm not sure what all the complaints about the graphics were about. They look just fine to me. They're not as sleek as some, but I've seen much worse in much more popular titles. EDIT: Okay, there's some low-res texture issues that could do with fixing.

My only issue so far is the audio. While I said it runs just fine with 5.1, I'd like to be able to set which audio it uses in-game, rather than having to change it through Windows. Only because with some characters the dialogue is barely audable (is that actually a word?). I'm not sure if changing to 2.1 would sort that out, but either way it's hardly game breaking.

Also, the voice acting isn't THAT bad. Sure, it's a little wooden, but not every game can be Mass Effect ;D. As with the graphics, I've heard much worse is much more popular titles.

Overall, so far it's a nice and rather enjoyable little hack'n'slash-no-need-to-use-your-brain-much diversion while waiting for The Witcher 2 (I might change my opinion soon though, since I've read there are stealth missions... I HATE those).

I didnt go alot on AC2 i much prefered the first one. I found alot of the jumps in AC2 and timed areas before having to pull levers again very irritating, it felt more like a poor tomb raider game then assassins creed, hence why i never bothered to buy brotherhood. Plus the story at the end was complete nonsense. Not sure im interested in AC3 at all.
