jett said:Yes, any AC fan should love this game from top to bottom. It's probably the best realization of every element that has been introduced in the franchise. Gotta say that I love how, for once, stealth takes center stage in an AC game.

Just finished it, GOD DAMNIT YOU'RE RIGHT.
Well, you asked why I thought the earlier games encouraged more "experimentation" in combat, not whether the older combat systems were well designed or not. That's an important difference. I mean, there would have been no need for experimentation at all if the other combat tactics were as effective as the counter.Snapshot King said:
In effect, the new additions to the combat mechanics in AC:B are an open admission that the counter attack is massively over-powered. But it's strange that they'd still leave all those old combat vestiges in there from the prior two games when most of those techniques have been made utterly pointless by the increased AI aggression.
Just started this (had to finish UC2 first ), and digging it alot so far. Lots of Desmond, and they did totally turn him into Nathan Drake (it really stands out, especially with me just finishing UC2), but whatever, no big deal. It was fun.
I've only put about 2 hours in, so here we go!

Finished the story, holy shit haha.

Seriously, what the fuck is this shit?
It wouldn't be so bad if you could restart at a checkpoint and have a chance to try that last part again. But no, the game forces you to start the memory from the very beginning, and that's a mission that takes 10 minutes to do at best. Christ.
Have you guys actually done it? I tried like three times before saying "fuck it". What's the strategy?
Some of the missions in Sequence 6 are pretty bad too. The one where you close the gates took me like 15 tries. =/

I got it on my second try, I just strafed around corners to get the cannons, and then circle strafed the other tanks. And the mission flies by after you've already done most of it.
Snapshot King said:
The cannons are easy as piss. So is the first tank. But I couldn't figure out the very end. I always go caught up on something and it didn't seem like I had enough space to do a circle strafe. I wanted to try abusing the doorway but the game explicitly prevents you from exploiting that.
It feels like I'm making no progress on the storyline for this game. I'm always veering off to do some side mission type thing on my way to the next story mission. Or stopping to read my emails and talk to the other people in 2012. There is just a ton of stuff to do. I like it though. Some really cool side missions.
Also, I like the chaining kills thing. I was never a big fan of the combat and seeing how high I can get the chains going is pretty fun. It's even easier now I suppose, but the face to face combat isn't something I want to be doing for that long anyway so I'm okay with it.

Wow, the tombs in this game are amazing! I hated them in AC2 because of the horribly frustrating design, but it's immensly improved in this one. I actually look forward to them now.
On another note, I've played 10-15 hours and I'm still in sequence 2 :lol I just HAVE to buy all the stores (not landmarks though, lol), finish all the side missions, take all the Borgia Towers, explore all the tombs, get all the treasure (that I have maps for) etc, before I continue with the main story

Just finished the first tomb. So fun. Don't know how I'll ever do it in 8 minutes though! Glad Ubi realized tombs were a fan favorite part of ACII and figured out a way to add them in ACB.
And I get a little kick out of how glorious the battle animations are in this game, yet Ezio still "walks" over stairs.

I dunno, I loved the platforming lvls in AC2 more esp the one in one church that gave me vertigo. It was so high up!Ledsen said:Wow, the tombs in this game are amazing!

I dont like these as much cuz it's mainly dark gloomy catacombs with a few exceptions. They seem easier too.
Liking MP more and more as I play. Just got 1200 points from stuns alone(6) on a round of manhunt. I noticed the other team was running around like idiots a lot and just guessing on who to lunge at instead of observing, so I stunned him and ran around a corner, and repeated it 3 times. He kept coming after me and killed a random NPC each time trying to get back at me. :lol
I have a question about the SP:
Are there still the hidden glyphs on certain buildings, and if so this time is there any indication on the map of buildings where you haven't found them yet? That always drove me nuts in the last game when I could see there were still buildings with them undiscovered in the database, but I wasn't sure where those buildings were on the map.

WHAT THE FUCK?
are you kidding me? man, fuck you Ubisoft.
3 games in the series and still no separate animation for walking up stairs!? how hard is that to program, would take like an hour or two of work maybe, is that too much for you Ubisoft..? in 3-4 years of working on the series, you couldn't find the time? goddamn lazy hacks. i'm pretty sure there are PS1 games that had that. and certainly many PS2 games like Ico, MGS2 and so on...
game is garbage, i cant buy this anymore... so disappointed
Either the game is completely broken or I am stuck.
Sequence 8, Memory 5.

So I have the Apple now and I am spawned East of the Colosseum. There is a small green circle around some ruins and I have the objective 'Break up Cesare's meeting'. But there is no meeting and I don't know where to go...

You can set a marker on it from the database that shows up on your map. Small shit like that makes this game awesome.

ummm glaurung, was that a spoiler?
Yeah it sucks, worst of all is the in-game manual spoils it for you. Thanks, Ubisoft.
BTW, I found this a while back, and figured I'd share it. It's the very first target render of Assassin's Creed, showcasing co-op gameplay. It was not meant to be.

They did sort of implement that original idea in Brotherhood though, pretty cool that Patrice kept it in his mind all this time.

...and AC:B picks up right after ACII (like a two-part TV show does), so you really have to have played ACII to delves into AC:B

Just finished the last Cristina mission. God that was depressing. Actually most of them have been. : (
