FARRRRK WHY DO I KEEP HIGHLIGHTING SPOILERS?!
I should just gamble or something.

I did the exact same, you can just press start and exit the animus manually whenever you want.Well, crap. I accidentally re-entered the Animus during theinterlude before Sequence 4
There's no way to back out of the animus voluntarily, is there? Did I miss anything?
You would have missed one thing that seems important, but you can still exit and experience it.
PS3? >__>
... Does it look like I'm not on PSN, Kyon?
Edit: Okay, it wasn't recognizing the Uplay passport like I thought. Had to back out, go into the store and have it see it was installed. Funky, Ubisoft.
(Hate online passes)
Question regarding your time with Desmond just AFTER Connor gets his Assassin Robes.
I did the NYC mission, got the thing, came back, plugged it in, went through the door that opened, blah blah blah Juno is shady, I climb through everything and I can't seem to get any further. There's this downed ramp I feel I should be able to climb but I can't. Haven't unlocked that ability yet? I can see Juno standing across the room, just no way of getting to her.

First naval battle was so fun. Great addition to the series, unlike tower defence. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of stuff to do. This one's gonna last me a while.
Edit: framerate is much better on PS3 than previous games I feel. AC2 stuttered a lot, but this is relatively smooth.

It was dipping a bit for me during like the first hour, but has smoothed out fairly well as I got going. No glitches thus far either.
Gurl... I didn't even notice lol
That shouldn't shock anyone since they redesign every other day it seems. He looks a lot different now than the first game and they seem to tweak him each game so you can see the resemblance of his ancestors in him. Maybe they had to make him thinner to get some animations to work or to avoid clipping doing certain things (assuming he does as I haven't played yet)?
I also remember that great comparison picture from Revelations where they made him look more like one of the designers instead of the old games.

I played AC1 and 2, but not the parts after 2, so I'm feeling a bit lost storywise:
Could someone tell me in a few words what has happened between 2 and 3?

So worth it, though.
Seriously, the naval combat in this game is so much fun. It's so simple, but it's soooo enjoyable!
Except when you're fighting forts. What the fuck. How annoying can you get.

Desmond kills Lucy because aliens took over his body due to the fact that they sense she is a templar.
Said Alien tells him the world will end in 2012 and he has to stop it. His dad wakes him up using the animus.
All of GAF collectively still wonder why we have modern day stuff.
Not aliens, ancient civilization.

I always assumed they were aliens that came to inhabit earth as the first humanoid species.
How is it annoying? just wondering so I know. Anything I should avoid?
The music in this game is beautiful.

Indeed, I let it sit at the title screen so I can just hear this track.

There's a couple things that make it a difficult and unfair naval battle:
1) The fort is stationary, and you are not. While this means an easier target, it also means that the fort NEVER has to reposition to fire and hit you. It is always shooting.
2) The fort's firing patterns are very frustrating. When it starts shooting, you can see where all the mortars are going to hit (indicated by a decently large line of water being disrupted). This line is always directly in the path of your current direction. However, despite the clear signs about where the mortars are heading next, the ship driving mechanisms make it difficult to avoid. The turning angles are too wide to effectively dodge all the mortar shots, and while you can pull back the sails and attempt to stop forward motion into the line of fire, you cannot come to a full stop fast enough to avoid accidentally drifting into the mortar fire. The only reliable solution to avoid getting bombarded is to turn away from the fort, beyond the distance of the mortar fire. This leads into my next point:
3) Hitting the damn fort is annoying. It's situated on a hill or cliffside, so you need to be relatively close to hit the actual fort; too far, and you're shelling the land underneath the fort instead. Unfortunately, this means that to hit the fort, you have to be within range of the fort's mortars.
What ends up happening is that you ending up pacing back and forth in front of the fort, trying to dodge mortars (which messes up your aim - you can only fire in a straight line perpendicular to the bow) which are shot in a way that predicts your current course, while also trying to avoid hitting obstacles, such as the shore. Not very fun.

Where exactly did you stop? I'll transcribe the important parts of the ending of that sequence, but it may be missing some parts.
- You assassinate Edward Braddock.
- The native lady takes you to the alien cave, where you try waving your necklace around. The walls glow green, but ultimately do nothing. You and the lady hook up right there.
- You meet up with your friends/allies back in Boston. You guys agree that it's time to set up a permanent base of operations in America, and you decide that Charles Lee has proven himself to be a capable enough individual to be inducted into your order... which is revealed to be the Templars. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.

Ouch. That sounds really tedious. :/ I hope those don't "appear" as much then.

I stopped playing tonight because I was so bored. I know it picks up soon, but I didn't want to play it anymore. Worst start to any game, ever.

Ignore that sloped
ramped. There should be a room on the floor right below and to the left of that ramp. Climb up the rubble in that room and you should find what appears to me a control station.
