Lingwo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yeah it is weird he said Subject 17 was he saying referring to Desmond as Subject 17 or correcting him? Also him mentioning "your son" is that referring to an ancestor? is it a clever recording? I am completely lost really but in a good way. Why did Juno have him stab Lucy? did she see something between them and thought he wouldn't be with this "eve", so had him stab her. To rebalance the scales. Are they trying to recreate Adam and Eve. If this Eve is another Assassin. I wonder if the next game we'll also play from her perspective. Too many questions, i hope they don't do a Halo 2 and take forever to release the next game @WastedJoker, i think come back later when you have them gloves so you can do some super grabs. Only the Maze lair i can see being tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hammond Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Bit dissappointed to be honest, i played the first two on Xbox 360, i got this on PS3 and the framerate is REALLY choppy in places, its nice that they finally incorporated present day freerunning i enjoyed the sequence just before they set up the Animus. Reminded me of Uncharted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedJoker Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 omfg, when you get to recruit assassins It's just a whole new level :w00t: I love how each sequel of this game progresses - they don't stagnate but neither do they tread roughly over old favourites and instead keep the good stuff while introducing new stuff. Y'know, an RTS game of AC wouldn't be bad as maybe a free download or a cheap DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Finished the storyline last night. Still need to go back and do the Romulus caves, glyphs, and feathers/flags. So far, it's in my top 2 for GOTY with Red Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedJoker Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What happens when your recruits reach Assassino levels? I've had some lower level recruits "die" after sending them onto missions without 100% success chance. Can recruits still die during the LB call-up? Do Assassino's have a chance to die during LB call-ups too? It's a lot of work to get them to that level :angry: Edit tyo add: The manual support for this game sucks ass :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 When they reach Assassino, you can go back to the hideout and see a ceremony (same thing each time, so get as many as you can in one block so it doesn't get too repetitive). Never had one die, so I dunno as far as that's concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y). and Yes , even if your Recruits become Assassins.. they can still die.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 personally find this one much harder than AC2, combat isn't just a matter of countering non-stop...this might be a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Finished the storyline last night. Still need to go back and do the Romulus caves, glyphs, and feathers/flags. So far, it's in my top 2 for GOTY with Red Dead. Wow, that's a serious compliment. Still debating on picking this up or not. I know for a fact I won't do a lot of multiplayer, so is the game - based solely on SP alone - worth getting? I loved AC2 but never did finish it, I now wish I had. The only thing from AC2 I didn't care for much was having to manage the upkeep of that family villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Manage it? I just finished AC2 and as soon as I could repair the town, I did. Couldn't really see much of an issue with that to be honest, the more you put in, the quicker it happened because you got more money, more quickly. The only annoying thing I found was having to go back to collect your money. Having said that though, when you consider it maxes out at about 60,000 florins per 20 mins, you quickly find yourself no longer needing any more cash. Perhaps if there was more advantages to having currency in the game, it would have been more rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokthraka Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 exactly. :yes: @Lingwo Yeah I know.. and his Son?.. did you notice he said Subject 17 instead of 16? Is it possible that Lucy is pregnant with his kid? Maybe.. that's why he stabbed her in the stomach area when he was being controlled by the 'others'.. thoughts? your subject 17. well im assuiming that since your the next person after 16. and to the other guy, its Eve, as in Adam and Eve. I think Eve is lucys ancestor or something like that. since he said something about needing Eve's DNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go back and play it again I think, now that I can get it on Demand, then I'll pick up Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hammond Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 This game has just blown my mind recruiting my own assassins and being able to send them on missions to get money and level them up, killing the borgia captains is so much easier now.

techbeck Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 personally find this one much harder than AC2, combat isn't just a matter of countering non-stop...this might be a problem! Then either kick or grab them. Easy way to get around the counter. Or you can always call in your assassins for help. AC BH is harder that AC2, which I like. However, if you are fighting several enemies at once, you can take them down pretty easily if you time this right. Have to use more strategy than just hack away. What happens when your recruits reach Assassino levels? I've had some lower level recruits "die" after sending them onto missions without 100% success chance. Can recruits still die during the LB call-up? Do Assassino's have a chance to die during LB call-ups too? It's a lot of work to get them to that level :angry: Edit tyo add: The manual support for this game sucks ass :p Yes, assassins can die when you call them to aid you. I had one die on me so I looted his body...haha. But they can die. Why I normally level them a little first before I send them out. And like someone else said, when the recruits reach level Assassin, there is a ceremony back at the hide out. Also, once you level 5 recruits to Assassin, you get altair's sword which is the best in the game. Does take a while to level them, but I never had an assassin die on me when they had an 85 percent or more chance of completing the contract.

WastedJoker Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I only got Altair's Sword after completing the Assassin Guild challenges...I'd already had 8 level 9 Assassins by then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted December 9, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2010 So level 9 is the highest then? I thought it'd be level 8 looking at the upgrade slots (4 for armor and 4 for weapons) etc, oh well, I have a few at level 5 but I'm not rushing the game at all. Been playing for around a week now and just finished seq 4, I'm doing lots of side stuff like finding flags and guild challanges, etc. Don't want to rush through the story because if I finish that then I know I'll lose interest in the rest of the game. So far my total sync is 39% :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 When you max them out (level 8?) the next level is them being inducted as an Assassin. By the end of the game you should have all 12 as Assassins as the levelling system is broken and very easy to level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniqstylz Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 It's level 9 to max out armor (they start at one, at level 2 you get one slot, etc.). Level 10 is the ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I only got Altair's Sword after completing the Assassin Guild challenges...I'd already had 8 level 9 Assassins by then... Yea, sorry. Was tired last night. All the guild challenges must be completed to get the sword. Leveling the assassins was the last one I needed to complete.

Corris Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 I haven't got the game, but it is on my Christmas List, woo! But I wanted to ask how it compares to AC2? I'm playing through AC2 again on my 360 (did AC1+AC2 before on my PS3) and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the game, was wondering how this new one compares given the quick release, and how long is it SP wise?
