I love that as well. It strengthens the characters & narrative for me.
It's geared more towards organized play.
Getting to Sequence 19 with 3 pubs and no communication was fucking unreal and awesome.

My gosh this game is overwhelmingly awesome. There's so many things to do (
) Really enjoying it!
Only problem I've had so far are the hunting QTE's, so frustrating.
after Sequence 5 anyway

I wonder where the next game will take place? I am pretty sure they are planning to use Connor again since they said the only requirement for using him again would be for the game to sell well, which it will. The only logical place to take him would be to France, because I can't really think of anything in America which would allow for a whole another game.
Yeah, definitely.
I think I got to 15 or 16 with a public group and I'm not really sure how. Didn't really help that my teammates kept jacking the focus aerial kills I was trying to set up.
Yeah, I'm with you on the optional objectives. I've restarted a couple of times simply due to making one mistake.
With an entire campaign dedicated to it, I can't say it's an underappreciated component.

You can counter kill them if you take away their weapons. (sometimes) And sometimes you can get them during a kill streak.

What was the point of the HO HO HO NAKED GUY AND NO PANTS thing in Paul Revere's mission when you got to Prescott's point? History joke I'm missing?

Haven't beat it yet, but for how things are panning out I would hope from London, or have Conner sail to France and help fight the French Revolution shortly after.
I believe they help you out if any guards attack you.
Can someone explain how the homestead thing works? Is it just a way to make money?

Anyone have any idea what a Musket Air Assassination consists of?
6 or 7 hours in now. While the glitches, framerate issues and graphical hiccups don't take away too much from my enjoyment of the game it's really disappointing to see how prevalent they are. I've literally been stuck mid sequence multiple times, not knowing if it's the fault of poorly designed checkpoints or bugs (it's been both). Feels like equal parts lack of optimization/polish and hardware that can't quite run the game they wanted to make. Will be very interested to see how the PC version turns out, it won't fix all the problems but there's significant room for improvement.
Loving the setting, pacing and character building going on so far. Also had my first real Desmond bit, that was pretty cool. Nice to finally see some payoff on that front, the character dialogue between modern day folks seems to be much improved as well (aside from Desmond constantly using the "first civ" moniker). Overall I'm sucked in, when the game isn't doing it's best to take me out of the moment.

Holy shit. Went to the docks in Boston and killed a bunch of guards and received the highest notoriety rating. I turn around to run back to the general store to get supplies, and no joke, there were at least 30 guards waiting for me... and they just kept on spawning.
Not sure if it was a glitch or what, but after a solid 15 minutes of killing mo-fos, I had to get out of there. Too many people in small area... couldn't coordinate at all. Currently hiding in some hay... hah

1) Grab a musket
2) Climb a ledge
3) Wait for enemy to come by
4) Jump that fool

Oh, shit! Didnt know this.... was curious what I was stabbing fools with lol.
Some other combat questions.... Can you still throw weapons? Where are the damn stores to buy weapons????? I'm on Sequence 9 and I feel like I NEVER see a shop :-/

Derp. Thanks man.
I was having trouble climbing up something with a musket in hand. He would just drop it.
Didn't think to just use a small ledge.

I don't really notice it.
I thought it just rotates down when extended for use as a dagger/knife.
This is correct. It doesn't detach. The blade is on a pivot and swivels into the palm. It's quite gorgeous.

Im still in sequence 2 but i absolutely hate the pacing in this game. Feels like im watching a movie. 2 steps - cutscene e.t.c
I am glad it opens up later and i cant wait to get there. love everything else (combat is still awesome). though i tend to get lost ordering allies, locking on, using guards for shields e.t.c
It can all get pretty hectic.
I love the slow gun reloading though, makes combat so much more fun.
Cant wait to get out into the frontier

So I just got this game and I'm having some trouble doing counters.
Sometimes it just sits there in slow motion and won't let me do anything.

Aah yes, just re watched the trailer that actually shows it. Such a cool design.

Still in sequence 2. Despite the amazing opening, I feel like it's a little frustrating once you hit Boston. I've already had a mission where I was swearing at my tv. It just kind of feels a little weird. I felt like a badass from the start in past AC games. I feel like a blundering idiot so far and I've played every AC to date. I'm getting a hitman vibe from the early missions. I also clipped into a building early on and had to quit to the animus. Shooting feels weird. Apparently renaisance Italy had more responsive guns. Are Almanac pages missable per sequence?
Oh well, it's still early in the game.

What do you do when you want to liberate a district, it's at 71%, but there are no more liberation missions to do to get it to 90?

The very same happened to me, the entire mission was so frustrating.
I eventually walked to the marked location myself, but it was closed off by soldiers obviously, so I had to climb the roof of an unguarded side, drop down on the other side and run to the location before the Adams AI would randomly walk through the barrier trying to follow me and get killed.
There are so many scripting errors in this game it is unbelievable.

Depends. If you can put up through the lengthy tutorial some of the side content is compelling. Sometimes more so than the main missions.
Maybe? It's different enough in some ways, but it's the same core concepts. Maybe you'll like the story/setting better this time. It definitely has a different atmosphere, which may or may not make it more immersive.
No sir, you will not.
It's simplified. You used to have to hold down the r1? button to counter (do anything really).
Now it's just circle.
