Kmart is open on Thanksgiving Day and has a sale for Brotherhood of 39.99 on that Thursday. If you are in luck you will find a copy with ease. If not or if you don't have a local store hopefully Amazon will be price matching. Even though after beating it I'd still tell you the whole series is well worth over the MSRP.

Nah, this is my first AC on PS3. I didn't have the patience to wait for the "still no release window" PC version.
When I'm outside the main city, like in the tombs or the fields or the beginning in the villa the game runs fine. It's a little less sharp than the X360/PC versions of AC2 and a bit more tearing, but it's just as enjoyable. But man, the city is just a bust. Would've rather they dropped the actual visual quality (resolution/textures/LoD) and maintain 30fps than what's in the final.
I just finished Sequence 2 and I'm not sure how I feel about the game so far. It's a good game, but it feels so similar to what I just did less than a year ago in AC2. If the games weren't so big and time consuming if you collect most everything, I think there'd be less feeling of fatigue; but at like 15% completion after 5 hours or so, I'm already thinking I just want to get the game done with because it doesn't feel fresh or exciting anymore. In AC2 I explored around and did everything, but depending on how the rest of the AC B new features are I might just do the main story + viewpoints in AC B and call it a day. In the first few hours I felt like 1 game a year wasn't a problem since the games are great, but now I'm thinking it definitely is a problem and the series is going to get stale fast like the Yakuza franchise.
I'm also not a big fan of the new direction of the game. AC2 was a total relaxing game to play at your own pace. It was incredibly easy and just nice to climb around and take in the scenery and do little missions here and there and collect things. So far in AC B it's been the exact opposite, it's felt constricting and punishing. I'll want to climb a viewpoint to clear up the map where I am in the story and I'll run to the viewpoint and right before I get there it'll tell me that area isn't available in the sequence. Or I'll want to buy some property where I am and it's locked and I go to the Borgia tower that unlocks it and it's not available in the sequence. And then the Borgia towers themselves just make viewpoints feel like more work than nice relaxing climbs of historic locations. Also not enjoying Rome as much as Florence or Venice. The city portion seems more cramped and with so much in such a small amount land I'm not the feeling distinct character that each section of those two AC2 cities had. Everything just seems like CITY/FIELDS/RUINS/etc... instead of "art area of the city" "social area" "political area" etc...
I certainly did miss Venice...
Also, gotta say I was disappointed that the Assassin recruits, once they actually reach the rank of Assassin, were left with outfits that were almost identical to Ezio's default Assassin robes. In the debut trailer and earlier screenshots, they all had original outfits...

Make sure you actually have parachutes in your inventory though... Encountered some kind of glitch where I somehow lost all of my parachutes when going to another sequence, and this just happened to be at the point where I attempted to get the Achievement you're talking about.
I'm sure you guys can imagine my frustration as I nearly broke the X button, rapidly tapping it as I fell to my death... >_>

I was blown away when I first heard this part (1:35 ish), strolling around some sleepy town at night. So amazing.jett said:Might be Roman Countryside then, for the both of you.
HELP! Regarding the ending of The Truth
I finished all the puzzles and talked to the glowing guy. It kicked me back to modern day where I could talk to Lucy and the Gang. The only problem was Desmond was locked in the geometry and I couldn't initiate any conversations. A checkpoint hit, so quitting and restarting did no good.
Obviously I was supposed to be able to converse with them regarding the video. But now, having reloaded, it's just as if The Truth never happened. Can someone summarize what Desmond and Lucy and the rest talked about? I haven't finished the game. I just want to know what they said when you talked to them?

I really love this game. Honestly might be my GOTY, it just clicks with me.

The *exact* same thing happened to me. I didn't want to risk quitting out since it's possible to run into the game locking bug from there. I'm guessing they didn't have anything super important to say, but since
Lucy was there!

Thinking about picking this up after reading positive impressions of multiplayer, but a few questions:
How's the online community for this game? Are there people playing on 360? easy to find games quickly? I don't really know about the modes, but is there anything resembling a party system where you could party up with a buddy or two and jump into public lobbies?

It looks like the community is good, but matchmaking is a mess right now. Don't be surprised if it takes you 10 mins or more to find a match. Sometimes I've been lucky and was placed fairly quickly, but other times I just gave up for a little while. Apparently Ubi is aware of the problem and are working on it.
Edit: Also according to some anecdotal rumblings on the Ubi forums, there are issues if you try to join with a party. You may wind up together, or you may not.
Was wondering if anyone can shed more light on Project Legacy.

Will this require me to bother people with invites or is it a stand alone.

I got spotted while doing that section while
carrying my little brother on the dock and one of the guards hit me in the back and the body dropped into the water

It is absolutely not required to send invites to your friends. Nothing gets posted on your wall unless you want it to. There are zero microtransactions. If you want to know more we have a thread about it.

There really needs to be a start from checkpoint option when replaying memories.
Some of the sections can be pretty long and can be frustrating to fail a condition right at the end and have to replay the entire memory.

Thanks for the tip! There are a couple Kmart locations I can check tomorrow. It would be nice if it were an online sale as well. Like you said, Amazon might price match. Here's hoping.Phenomic said:
I completely agree with you about the AC series, BTW. I actually repurchased AC2 several weeks ago because regretted trading it in.
Edit:
Not yet it's not. But then, today is Wednesday.LiK said:
Slash that price Amazon! You know you want to. I'll give you my monies...
Edit 2: This thread has been updated with info on the sale. Looks like it's happening tomorrow after all. Nice.
Seeing as how Amazon is gonna have a sweet deal for Brotherhood, I'm unsure as to which which version I should get. From checking the OP, it looks like the collector's edition has some extra stuff but is there a difference between the vanilla 360 and PS3 versions content wise? Doesn't look like but I could be wrong.
Brotherhood has definitely been one of the more pleasant surprises of my gaming year. It's one of those rare games where I'm not feeling pressed to finish the "main story". The absurd amount of side missions do a great job of still feeling like a part of the overall narrative.
