Ya, AC1 rocks, I meant to say expansion rather than sequel. :)

I agree with the first post, Turbine changed the core gameplay for the worse and it turned off most AC1 fans, good graphics or not.

As far as AC not being a good game I heartily disagree. I loved AC in its day and it was IMO way better than EQ. (yes I have tried EQ and some of its expansions, even EQ2)

In fact when I get bored of WoW I may just go back to AC1 for awhile.

Hanna tries to blame it's demise on the fact that it's a sequel. To me it was obvious it failed because they neutered/changed the gameplay to a degree that anyone who appreciated the first game would be turned off by it. It also didn't help at all that there wasn't anything fun to do. No NPC's/places to visit of interest. At least in AC the gameplay was interesting enough so it was fun just to go out and hunt.. in AC2 the core gameplay sucked, it was a failure from the start, and I really question how a developer cant recognize that. It was easily obvious to my friends and I.
