I'm really enjoying Sequence 2 so far. I've mainly just been climbing trees and exploring the level from above, it looks great and is just strangely satisfying traversing the area without touching the ground.

sold out at my local grainger games, they likely had small stock but it's still a good sign.
Well, brokedown and bought the digital version. Couldn't pass it up for $36, since ordering through Amazon, or buying retail would have cost me $43 and some change. It's downloading now. It's my first retail game I've ever downloaded. I usually buy disc only, but I love AC, and couldn't wait until after work to buy it.
You win this round Sony and Ubisoft!

Hit Sequence 3 last night. The game is pretty janky in a lot of ways but I'm still enjoying it. It really feels like a real AC experience, as opposed to what I remember of Bloodlines for PSP.
The difference in quality between the prerelease media and the actual game was pretty jarring at first but now that I've gotten past that, I think the game still looks pretty incredible. I find myself taking lots of pictures as if I'm playing on my PC, taking shots for wallpapers and such. But then I go into the Photo App and am quickly reminded of the shitty compression of Vita OS level captures. -_- bah!

How long did you play? How much extra SP content left?

I had a bug last night in the swamp where she wouldn't stop her swimming animation when she was on stable ground.
Then I made her go back into the water and I couldn't move her, so I had to restart from the last checkpoint. :|
Did both games ship out with lotsa bugs or something?

Never really been into the series much, but I'm enjoying this game so far. Couldn't resist trying to get all 11 viewpoints in the 1st area before I even did anything else.
It's a bit janky (no bugs here) and runs kinda like crap. There's way to much HUD stuff for my liking. But feels like a great compromise between a console and portable title. Wish the startup was a bit faster for bathroom playing purposes though

You know you can turn off some hud elements in the options, right?

My wife sent me out on an errand last night that took me (kinda) near another EB, and they had it! So I did finally get a copy...
...but man, it should not have been that hard!

I forgot to preorder but had to go to Target early in the AM for Sandy cleanup supplies. They had 4 copies and I was able to grab one before people started waking up. Figured I got lucky.
I was planning on getting a Vita next month for P4 Golden so this bundle seems like the one to get. I can make do with the 4 GB card for saves for a while.

Where are the other goods? I got in the first warehouse and those were clearly marked. I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Loving this game so far.
Taking my sweet time with it. I'm just enjoying parkour-ing through the city as I do with the other AC games.

I'm using it in the green area and the only thing lit up is a bench.
Had the same issue as well. Behind that building with the bench (away from the sea), there are 3 guys standing in front of some crates. The crates you look for are behind them and you cant see them without walking around the guys.

as soon as i did this i started enjoying the game a lot more, hehe
i just wish it ran better. i'd easily cut some graphical effects and npc's to make it run smoother.
no. not at all. desmond suxxor
What are those items for anyway? Doesnt unlock anything I suppose.
My current theory:
The overall match lasts 1 week, but each node battle takes a few hours. Players attack the nodes and the team with the highest score on the node when that node's timer expires wins the node. Which ever team holds the most nodes at the end of the week wins.
That's an "overall" explanation... the details about combat, energy, etc is still a learning experience for me. At first I thought I couldn't attack with the same character more than once every half hour... but you totally can. You get max points as long as you have the energy necessary to attack the desired target. If you try to attack an opponent who would require more energy than you have, you get greatly reduced points. Even if you have 0 energy, you will get 1 point for each attack. 30 min after your initial attack, that character's energy will return to max.
If you attack an enemy's node, the character's "Attack" level will increase. If you attack a friendly node, the character's "Defense" level will increase.
Not sure how yet, but you earn more characters as you go. (Anyone know when exactly?)
You can "flag" a location, and whichever location has the most "flags" set by players lights up for all to see... this is a way of the team "voting" on where to focus strategically.
When you are tired of attacking, you can select a friendly location to "Defend" and this ends your session and logs out of multiplayer back to the main menu. I believe all your characters are thus at this location and when the opponent team attacks it, it is your players which are defending. (my theory...)

Much thanks.
In other news, hot damn the swamp is pretty at night. Next stop is figuring out where to disable the HUD when I'm taking these.
Doesn't matter. Unconnected, apart from a cameo.

When I went to pick this up from GameStop last night
Employee: Hi! How can I help you?
Me: Yes I have a pre-order for Assassins Creed: Liberation
Employee: Oh, yeah I've heard of that. That's for the 360 right?
Me: No......
I did hear them mention that I got the last one the had, though.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
You randomly collect them as a slave, or loot them as an Assassin. I believe they're for a trophy but it also says if you get them all you'll unlock something. Not sure what it is though.

Was here when I got home. Put an hour into it.
Games really good so far. Graphics are really nice, town looks amazing as do the views.
The bugs are funny (saw someone morph into another person as he walked by.
Frame rate is the only disappointment. It's clearly sub 30fps in the city. Not game breaking at all but def noticeable.
Rest feels very assassins creed like so far.

animations are brilliant. can't believe i have a true portable AC, complete with crazy pop-in and a bonkers framerate.

Yeah exactly which is why it's acceptable really.
However I just play brotherhood and rev on of so was kinda spoiled in the fps department there.
The game runs better in the Bayou and in
Mexico
Vita is an interesting animal. So much VRAM and stuck with shitty mobile processors.

This game plus PS+ is making me really want to get a Vita.
Why is PS+ a reason for you to buy a Vita atm? Did I miss something?
