Glitchy on Mac, But Worth It!
Everyone knows AC is a great series, and worth the money.
But what about the cons on Mac?
Well, for me, I only ran into one glitch on a regular basis. The classic keyboard glitch.
Sometimes while using a wireless mouse, the game stops taking inputs from your keyboard, so all you can do is use your mouse to exit the game and try to play again.
I found 1 solution that worked most of the time.. and that was to go into my Mac settings and into Keyboard, then change the input from wireless to built-in, then start the game. (this won't affect the function of your wireless mouse, but may help fix the glitch)
Getting around the glitch didn't seem too hard. And afterwards, the game crashed a few times, but only after extended hours of playing.
I played the game for roughly 35 hours of game time, and only crashed 4 times.
But I ran into the keyboard glitch about 10-12 times.
All-in-all, totally worth it!
For those of you who are new to Assassin's Creed, like I was...
AC2 is such a beautiful game! (cannot express how pretty this game looks, must see!)
Large open world! Great story!! Change your characters armor and weapons, even pick up and use weapons from enemies!
Very early in the story you are introduced to a city that you acquire and upgrade, for which it inturn provides income for you every 20mins of gameplay..
I found that after acquiring and increasing this steady income, money was never a problem.
Enjoyed all the weapons! From swords, maces, daggers, to the throwing knives, smoke bombs, and poison! And ofcourse, hidden blades. Even hand-to-hand combat is so much fun! The animations never get old, and I kept seeing new animations for different weapons (especially all the different finishing moves). I especially enjoyed using the smoke bomb, poison, and just bare hands.. It's fun to punch-combo, disarm, and finish, all in one smooth aggression.
Also, don't forget all the exploration. Running, Flying, Horseback Riding, even boat rowing. One of may favorite parts of the game was definitely the tomb-raider-like dungeons. Extra fun with the ones that had enemies inside!
Wish they ported AC Liberations, or AC3 for Mac! I'm not picky, even AC IV. ;)
