Assassin's Creed Brotherhood |OT| where my bro's at?
- Thread starter iNvid02
- Start date
I never realized how much I enjoyed the probe achievements gave to accomplish things until I realized how they don't exist here. I love the game, but the achievements are a bit disappointing.
There is no incentive to buy all the locations or 100% anything for that matter. I don't check achievements until I beat a game generally, so I was going on blind faith as I worked my way through the guild challenges and bought everything in sight. I was putting my Assassins through all of the contracts. I was buying all the faction buildings (still don't know why those are there), and I was making sure to get all the viewpoints.
Sadly, the incentive the older games provided is missing. Even removing one multiplayer achievement like the 'needle in a haystack' and replacing it with 'attain 100% in game stats' would have been great. All those side missions, paintings to be bought, shop contracts (which I have not completed one because of one or two super rare ingredients/items), and really expensive landmarks are kind of just left there with no achievement attached except the little ones at the start.
It is a great game, but I wish there was some form of achievement recognition for the completionists out there.

The only reason I could think of was it put your faction of choice in that area. Not really that useful. I didn't purchase any of them till post-game.

Does anyone else have this problem? During certain times of day it looks like this.
Should look like:
Looks like:
SO ANNOYING! Ugh, it's terrible looking. It's especially apparent during cutscenes. But when I turn on Eagle vision it's not visible and at night also. I'm assuming it's some fake bloom effect, but this can't be real. It's even pixelated, not a nice gradient.

You have read my mind, completely. I told my wife that the game's only flaw was that you had to quit a sneaking mission 2 minutes in and do it all over again because you failed 100% sync.
I was wondering if anyone else notices that some items used within the memory are used up when you restart? Like one of the missions told me not to kill anyone for 100% sync, so I ran through people and used my smoke bombs, but when I ended up failing and restarting the memory, I didn't have anymore smoke bombs!!
I've also had a problem where it told me for 100% sync not to swim, but I ended up falling in the water so I restarted the memory and when I completed it without swimming the second time, it said 100% sync failed. I think that the game sometimes gets mixed up when restarting the memory and doesn't clear everything like it should.

Need some help please :O:O
OK I give up, where the fuck are the items for the shop quest?
I have opened about 70% of all the treasure chest and searched about 90% of the bodies I kill.
And still I do not have the correct items for the shop quest.....

I actually like that effect, its not that pronounced as you put it, but I think its not too dissimilar to trying to look in the distance while theres blinding sunlight out.Darknessbear said:Does anyone else have this problem? During certain times of day it looks like this.

Are the MP Trophies hard to get?
because I would really really love to get the Platinum in Brotherhood but I have this rule that any game with MP Trophies is a skip in Platinum for me.
so are they easy to obtain or a pain in the a** ?

Loving this game so far. Had my friend go buy the game at Kmart so we can play against each other.

Yeah they're fucking impossible to find. I think there's one quest with three items where I'm at something like 1/9, 0/6, 1/7 :lol I do all the sidequests, open all the treasure chests etc.

Exactly WTF :O:O me too, I do ALL the sidequest and EVERY little thing I can do and still not the correct items for those shop quest.......Ledsen said:
Can't wait until the CE guide from amazon is here so I can see precisely where its at.
PROTIP FOR THE SHOPQUESTS
There's a "Thief" sidequest where you get ambushed by dozens of thieves from another gang, actually it's an unlimited supply of thieves until you step out of the designated area. You can use this quest to your advantage to loot their corpses for items.
It's also gonna require dumb luck. I finished the shopquests way, way after the endgame.

got this for the MP last night, and HOLY CRAP its awesome. Even better than what I expected. I hit level 10 and got around 8 or 9 matches in, mostly 'wanted'. Took 3 or 4 matches to catch the rhythm of the game and understand it, but once i did, I placed 1st 4 times! The game is exhilarating, this is everything I ever wanted out of a stealth game. I love how you're rewarded for style and variety of the kill over the kill itself. Evading people and luring them to kill a civilian is like nothing I've ever experienced in a multiplayer game.
I'm having trouble understanding stun and how to use it. I usually just run and hide from my hunters, and sometimes will use disguise, which is awesome. If anyone can explain how stun works, I would be obliged.
I'm dying to get back into the game though, such a nice change of pace from online FPS's

God the controls need an overhaul, Ezio controls like a toilet brush.

Reminds me of my friend. I got him to get the game, he did yesterday; but he can't open it till later today or tomorrow, because his daughter decided that she bought the game for him, so he has to wait till she decides to give him the gift. She "bought it at Wal-Mart, when she was shopping" too. She's 4. :lol

I think the only place you can get Aconite is from the Borgia couriers.
Nakiro said:
Exactly right.
Also, the Abilities that help you stun are: Smoke Bomb, Mute, and Power Charge. It's always best to avoid pursuers. Also, if you're blending in a crowd or hiding and you see a pursuer using Templar Vision (they shimmer for a bit) to spot you and you dont have one of these on you (or they haven't reloaded), then don't just stand there...GTFO and hide somewhere else
I love the MP so much, it's one of my favorites. I played a ton of it since release, I think I'm number 17 or so on the worldwide ranked leaderboards (PSN: Punishing_Soul). Btw, like someone mentioned before, it's best to get your kills Incognito as much as you can, you'll get a ton of points. There's no need to rush to get your kill.

17? jeez. Add me to (PSN: KILLTHEM16) as I need people who are actually playing and will kick my ass so im forced to get even better haha.
Is there a community board for this game because I think I might need to add my name to it.

People having trouble with shop quests make sure you buy all the treasure maps as well cause they add new chests and items.
I found some important items in some tombs and other just from treasure chests and looting thieves and messengers. Also some contracts give items you might need.
I still need 1 more silk
Yeah I noticed that as well. Kinda annoying on the longer missions where you use a lot of items. I just try to loot as many as possible so if I fail I have some items to start with again. But yeah a checkpoint restart feature would be nice.

I am starting to get pissed at acb. the frame rate is so ridiculous. constantly below the stable 30 fps mark. I don't give a crap about graphics or framerates normally.
I am playing just cause 2 right now too and not only is the map far bigger than rome, it looks also much better compared to acb AND the framerate is really solid and stable.

I really want some stability in AC3. The performance is getting worse with each game. Also, use MLAA Ubi!
