I think I got the AC2 platinum. I mean one of my best memories with it was being so invested in it early on that I (blindingly obviously) faked being ill to get out of a family event so I could sit at home alone to play it. I literally played for 5 hours straight with the only breaks running to the bathroom and took a short break after and got back to it. Such an incredible experience.
I have great love for AC as well. Yes it was limited in terms of gameplay but the setting is excellent and it felt challenging, perhaps the only one up until AC3 (I stopped playing afterwards) where you couldn't just multi-kill to get out of a difficult situation and where simply running away was necessary on occasion. I think this is one of the reasons why I didn't like Revelations, alongside Ubisoft using this as the perfect point to destroy my love for the franchise with possibly the worst DLC and character assassination of all time. I had read a lot on the Levant and Constantinople before then and was quite disappointed in the setting, felt too safe and like they didn't do near enough.
I have that damn trophy though. I got it legit TWICE and it bugged on me so I just cheesed it then because I fucking deserved that.
I'll always miss this franchise and hate what Ubisoft did to it. I'm sure some of the recent releases have been good but they began to build up something so special and utterly ruined it so quickly.
