That's probably the first time I've read someone complain about the jumping "puzzles". It's not that hard to hold down A + RT and push forward, but that's just me.
Between the Uncharteds, Infamous and Batman, I think that Assassins Creed has the best jumping/climbing mechanics.
Who is that, anyways?

I'm at the
Altair flashback after the test to see if he retained Ezio's skills, and I'm trying to climb the tower to get to the target. I get to a balcony with a plank with lantern above me, but he won't grab on to it so I can climb higher.

Stand on the railing under the the lamp post and jump straight up while standing in place. I think it's RT + A / R1 + X. Alternatively, you can also run up the wall next to the lamp post and then jump towards the lamp post at the apex of the vertical wall run.

EVERYONE GETS STUCK THERE.
Based on this thread and other AC2 threads, quite a few people are having trouble with that. It's understandable since you rarely ever need to use either type of jump in the game. In fact, I think that was the only time I ever used the stationary jump in the entire game.Volcynika said:
I've been replaying AC1 since completing AC2. For some strange reason, the developers removed a metal climbing ring that was next to the lamp post in AC1.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Thanks for the guys helping me out on an earlier question, apparently fighting unarmed makes you much more capable, who knew huh ..
anywho, i'm feeling i'm at the final stretch of the game, just entered
, but the map seems to indicate I won't be staying for long here, the landscape looks really nice even then though.
also, some of the higher view points in Venice, holy effing CRAP that shit's just crazy

I gotta say, I hated AC1. HATED it. But thanks, GAF. I took a chance on you and you have not disappointed me. Everything is so well implemented especially the "blending" with groups of pedestrians in front of guards. It almost feels like a platformer sometimes, going from group to bench to group, etc. And, as has been said 100x this thread, the mission implementation is stellar. The fact that I can do a few random side quests and then the story and not have to ride my stupid horse to my stupid fort to continue the story is really great.
The combat's still a bit "eh", and the free-running is a little finicky but otherwise, great job, Ubi.

the puzzle that came along with the first glyph! excellent! please tell me those little puzzles continue like that.
Finally beat the game tonight. What an experience!!
Even though you can't replay any primary memories i'm glad to know you can still do all the secondary memories (assassinations, beat'em up, etc...) Now just to find 59 more stinkin feathers....so i can get the final 2 achievos.

No hitter is my last trophy... getting it after you've beaten the game is not that easy.
I've tried to just lure a ton of guards after me, smoke them, and start taking them out but every time I get half way to the trophy the game freezes. It never froze a single time during my entire playthrough but smoking and then taking out guards quickly for the trohpy is killing it every time... argh.
Does anybody recall how long it takes you to get to the mission where you protect the guy in front of the church, it seems like it's a common spot to get the trophy. I hate that you can't replay memories (much like you can replay chapters in Uncharted, or whatever).
Also I just wanted to add that if they could make the combat in AC flow as well as it does in Batman AA it would have been a hell of a lot better.

Is it just me or did it feel like the 'tutorial' for this game was like four hours long? Seriously that's how long it took for me to actually start enjoying the game.
bridegur said:
yea, buggy little part there (i encountered some really weird glitches with the light), and maybe i forgot that
Altair isn't as agile as Ezio
Neverender said:
the tutorial is really poorly paced out. i was doing things way before the game told me about them. ex: like i was telling thieves what to do and then the game is teaching me that in

LiK said:
That worked, thanks. It's shocking to me that such a high-profile game would be released with an obvious bug like that. That whole sequence proved to me how terrible the auto-jump is in comparison to traditional jumping in games. Ubisoft needs to take a good look at how inFamous combines the two.

I got stuck there too. For longer than I would like to admit.
Just started playing this game and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Played through until abouts where you get the hand blade assassin tool.
My only source of aggravation so far stemmed from me inexplicably failing the "hiding in crowds" tutorial several times. I think I would slightly get out of position and it would flash on and off for a second and then a guard would see me. I guess it's maybe not super reliable or maybe I was moving too quickly.
There's probably just a learning curve to it. I used it a bit later on after the tutorial and had no issues. It might just have been that the path finding around the tight lanes in that area was a bit hard to deal with.
This beginning part was just barely on the edge of not moving fast enough for me. Now that I have a blade and assassin missions it'll be interesting to see how the pace of the game changes.

Don´t do double assassination kills in rapid succession. If you do 2+ in a very short time, the game freezes. Every time. Tested it myself a few times.ScrabbleBanshee said:No hitter is my last trophy... getting it after you've beaten the game is not that easy.

Yeah, it's awesome. The whole soundtrack is up at Spotify and it's pretty awesome.
I really like the Chariot chase one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEvo3yzBxVg
I really hope the game did well sales wise since it deserves it. But I have my doubts because of the juggernaut that was MW2.

Just finished the game and loved it. Couple questions:
When I look at the progress screen it says that I'm missing 1 weapon (currently, I have 21/22). But I can't buy any new stuff at the shops anymore. Where can I get the last weapon? Do I have to finish all the glyph puzzles for that one?
What is the best place to try to get the "kill 10 guys without being hit" achievement?
Anyone know where to find a good map with all the feather locations?

-you get a weapon unlocked in the shop if you get 50 feathers
-there really isn't a best place per se, but do enough monkey business to attract the attention of the guards and run around until you've got at least 10 of them on your ass and utilize smoke bombs to take them all out with a hidden blade
-here's the guide I used for the feathers

So I assassinated all the archers to protect the gondol. When they finally headed out to sea I thought I'd hitch a ride with them, leaped into the boat and thusly knocked Rosa into the water so hard that she died.
So don't do that.
Oh and how are you supposed to climb the clock tower in Venice? Do you need to unlock some ability first or is there some way that I'm missing?
