Assasins Creed 2

[nlitement]

 

disappointingly short.

[papanesta]

That's what she said.

[Seddo]

That's what she said.

Ba dum che.

 

How short was it nlitement, how many hours did it take you?

[nlitement]

How short was it nlitement, how many hours did it take you?

About 1½-2½ hours. It was maybe 5 or 7 missions in total. There are new treasure chests and you can fly the flying machine at any time around Forlì.

[tomwalla]

yeah i find it sweet that you can fly the machine anytime after you have completed the missions

[TommyMufc-Champs]

I use to think this is sh*t but after having a quick doss on it at mates house it is actually very good. I'm hopefully getting this and L4D2 tomorrow.

[oldage]

where exactly is the flying machine? and can I use it in other cities?

and agreed, way too short, finished it in 30 minutes NOT EVEN NEW TROPHIES!

[simonp92]

Hey dudes, I've had this game since release, I think I'm near to completing it now, just wondering, how much left do I have to completion, I just have done Memory Sequence 10 how many more do I have?

 

Cheers.

well there is 14 in total. but 12 and 13 are dlcs. soo you are close to the end.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I'm a bit of a late bloomer to Assassin's Creed 2. After wanting it since release I finally bought it on 360 a couple of days ago, and I must say WOW!!!.

 

I have a bad habit of giving games a good wrap when they first come out, and then get bored of them, but honestly this along with Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best game I've bought in a long time time.

 

I liked the first one, but this one just smashes it on every level. It's like the jump from GTA III to VC. I'm in love with the 15 century Italian setting. The world Ubisoft created is just beautiful.

 

I have just completed sequence 2, and I'm looking forward to doing more of the story.

 

Oh, and can someone tell me how to look for the glyphs? It's not necessarily the locations it's how to bring them up. I thought Eagle Eye would work.

You can find glyphs by holding Y to change to eagle vision and that's when everything goes like blue if I remember right? Either way when you're in that vision and you see a Glyph it will pop up really bright and glowing with little things jumping out from it to show you where it is. Once you stand next to it, you'll unlock a piece of the Subject 16 video and you can always complete the puzzle later on if you can't work it out. You'll know when you've found an old glyph you've gotten before because it will just be a grey colour with nothing jumping out at you.

[TommyMufc-Champs]

Is it worth getting the dlc? well I'm on sequence 8.

Thanks for that. Over the last couple of days I've found a few glyphs, and have managed to crack a couple of them.

 

Talk about strange though.

Tell me about it, I have a friend who is a mythology buff or something, she just knew the puzzles some how and I didn't. (The ones with putting pictures in order.)

Im pretty buff at mythology, but two or more of glyphs was impossible without guide for me

Yeah they're the ones I'm having touble with too. I didn't play much of the first game, so this "The Truth" part of the game has me scratching my head.

 

It's really interesting however.

[Cilogy]

I think its possible, you just have to know the cities really well and turn on your eagle vision like very two seconds.

 

But yeah I still have trouble without the guide. Each time I find a glyph I think "yeah I probably would have found that if I looked hard enough."

 

Haven't completed them yet, but in due time ...

[Eoghan]

Couldn't crack one so just watched it on youtube. Ending of game made me cum and vomit, was crazy

[Rebel]

I had trouble with the ones where you had to put in order with the circles. I posted a link a few pages back that are way more in depth on them than any other guide I found if you're having trouble. As for the glyph places, I found all of them by just messing around apart from 3..each in different cities. So that was a pain in the ass trying to go through. Same with the feathers.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I love this game, because of how strange it is.

 

I just got upto the part where Desmond gets out of the Animus for the first time where he goes to the warehouse to test the skills he picked up from Ezio. The first time he started seeing guards it made me go WTF, and afterwards when he's standing in the hallway tripping balls big time.

 

The whole playing as Altair part sent chills up my spine. Not sure why, but it did. I was so f**king awesome though.

[papanesta]

sh*t, the DLC for this has gone really under the radar. That's Sequence 13 available and it's not even been mentioned.

 

I know this is so shallow, but the lack of new achievements totally put me off, so I haven't even bothered with 12.

[simonp92]

^ is the bonfires of the vanties out yet??

[TommyMufc-Champs]

On sequence 9, collecting them ribbons.

[papanesta]

^ is the bonfires of the vanties out yet??

Like I said, they're both out.

[oldage]

incase anyone is wondering, the bonfires of the vanities is alot heavier than the previous DLC (battle of forli was 700-800MB and bonfires of the vanities is 1700-1800MB)

 

it also seems to last longer...but there's more annoying tasks.

 

*SPOILER*

first thing you have to do is take out 9 generals of some guy, if someone could lighten me up. you have a farmer etc...

about the annoying part, you have to kill a trader on his ship WITHOUT getting noticed, which I failed all the time. its my last one to do so if anyone with the DLC aswell and has done that general could tell me how to do it it would be appreciated.

 

[ptiko]

Is anyone getting the PC version? I hope not

[Creed Bratton]

Is anyone getting the PC version? I hope not

Hell no! And if Ubisoft is thinking about implementing that same DRM in SC: Conviction I'm not getting that as well. But I'm not buying a console either. Just wait and see how their plan turns out. AC2 PC will be the most pirated game of 2010, just like MW2 was for 2009 because of the lack of dedicated servers.

[oldage]

yeah a friend of me was planning to get it untill I said him that your internet always has to be turned on, and he never plugged in an internet cable in his gaming pc lol since he gets most singleplayer games for PC and MP games for console.

[AndyGanteks]

I got the game today, and well, what does the redeem code or whatever in the game box do? Is it for some AC content or something else?

[Knife]

It's the worst sounding DRM I've ever heard of. The pirates never even know it exists because it gets removed by hackers. The only thing this does is inconvenience their customers.

 

It's mind-numbingly stupid.

its probably an unlock code for those extra searching missions in big ass buildings.
