As good as AC2 was..something about ACB and ACR (especially taken together) feels so much richer and more focused.
Together all three make for a fabulous trilogy (and in some ways, a decent character study as well).
Good job Ubisoft! ACR is definitely on my goty list so far.

PC version has good achievments. In ACBH PC had a bit more content as far Rome's economy side mission stuff.
Although I can't speak for ACR. Haven't got it yet.

Supposedly a glitch as online, Walmart offers the game for $60 bucks. Go back a few pages, there are many other members, including me, who got it for $40 bucks and a link to another website that had many people getting the game for 40 dollars. Act fast, who knows when Walmart will realize the mistake.

Ya'll got me there.
I still can't wrap my head around playing games on PC with a 360/DS3 controller. I'm always old school keyboard and mouse. lol
In terms of people who find the kbm scheme "fine" for AC games on the PC, I would say you're in the extreme minority.

I don't know yet. I'm speculating based off of ACBH's achievements. I imagine it's Uplay achievments and probably some steam one's if you get it from there.

I think he's more in the extreme minority of people who actually bothered with it. I beat AC1 with MKB and it was fine.SamuraiX- said:In terms of people who find the kbm scheme "fine" for AC games on the PC, I would say you're in the extreme minority.
With triple-buffering, any drops below 60 (usually during the camera pan over the city) are smoothed out incredibly well. At 60 fps it feels immaculate.LiK said:

Probably. It wasn't easy at first, but became very natural not long after. For me, the controller is never an option.

I personally think that most people who don't like m/kb don't play PC games for the majority of their gaming. Even Skyrim's shit menu navigation I'll probably just get used to and barely notice after a few days.

Jesus, Ezio and Desmond look HIDEOUS.
Why did they change this? They don't look aged, they look like different people.

Is this song on the soundtrack?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aknUkEBN-6M&list=FLxVxDK55AKqdiBM0nuHff2w&index=27&feature=plpp_video
The uploader claims it to be a song from the OST. If it is, I would explode. The tracks from Jesper Kyds site were already marvelous, but if this song is there too...

Yep, it's called The Road to Masyaf on the soundtrack though.
What do you guys think of the Assassin's Creed Theme? Pretty amazing huh?
I've been listening to the soundtrack to tie me over until I get the game, it's outstanding. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it comes close to beating AC2's soundtrack for me. And that's one of my favorite video game soundtracks.

Thanks man. I just got myself AC:R for 40 dollars. My local walmart had it for 40 dollars while other local walmart had it for 60 dollars.
There are like 5 other ps3 copies of the game left there and about 12 X360 copies left of the game.
I will stay in on black Friday/best buy deal now.

Yup, what I've heard from that "The Road to Masyaf" song, and the songs from Jesper Kyds site, I honestly think this is the greatest gaming soundtrack I'll have ever heard.
Seeing as the wiki hasn't been updated for me to have a good read; can someone help explain a little part of the ending for me?
Regarding where they go with AC3:
When you see the solar flare that licks against the Earth and fucks a load of shit up; is the city in that inhabited by "The Ones Who Came Before" or humans? They didn't seem to have the same look as Juno/Minerva/Jupiter(?). It's a minor detail but it'd suggest there was a period of peace if they were humans.
Regarding where they go with AC3:
I'm guessing there is a convinient door at the old city that blocks the way, and Desmond happens to have an ancestor who managed to open it without the knowledge of what it was? Otherwise who is the new protagonist? Desmond?
someone asked this question earlier, but I didn't see a response for it, but are the glyphs / puzzles as part of "the truth" sequences taken out of this game? I really enjoyed those in the last 2 games.
Hopefully they haven't been outright replaced by the Desmond sequences. Those don't look all that interesting, or challenging like the glyph puzzles could be.

Agreed. It's actually bothering me way more than it should...Desmond especially looks like a completely different character.
It was especially jarring seeing the recap of AC1-B at the beginning of AC:R and then immediately seeing stranger-face Desmond.
Oh well, the game is still a blast so far!

Played for an hour last night and couldn't get into it, so I'm just going to wait. Maybe till the end of the month when the PC version is released. I'm not saying that I disliked the game. Its just with coming out just a few days after Skyrim I found it hard to focus. Entire time I was playing I was thinking about my character in Skyrim.
Also didn't help I have an annoying roommate. Don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem, but she's one of those people that is just oblivious that you are actually trying to pay attention to something, but just keeps on talking blah, blah, blah. I AM PLAYING A FUCKING GAME!! My PC and headphones help solve this problem.

Huh. I wonder why they were removed? The puzzles were the only parts in the games that would hold me up for awhile, I couldn't quickly plow through them. The text/audio/pictures that went along with them, while sometimes ridiculous, were pretty interesting.
Oh well, still need to find time to open up the game and start playing. Have to give the Desmond sequences a shot and see how they are.

There's nothing like synching at your first viewpoint in an AC game. That's the moment that makes me think 'I'm back'.
And Constantinople is really something. Such a nice surprise when I stepped out of the headquarters unexpectedly at night and saw the city all lit up. Beautiful.
