Episode 29 - Respectful. Wait, No, Badass - Assassin's Creed 2

You Broke Her Heart! Now I'll Cast Your Pod! Welcome back to the
show, today we're going to be talking about Ubisoft's follow up to
2007's Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 2. Released two years
after the first, AC2 is widely considered to have successfully
iterated on the concepts the first game pioneered and has become
warmly remembered by fans of the series. This, however, does not
keep the game safe from retrospective criticism, and we take a look
at what about this game worked at the time and still works now and
a few areas that time has not been particularly kind to. We talk
about parsing the game's combat system, climbing all over a
meticulously rendered city, cruising with whores and dropping
cheddar. Thanks for listening this week and tune in next time when
we take our first ever look at an entire series, talking about the
Pokémon franchise.
