Then you're really missing out.

Yup, this is one of those sequels you find it hard to believe it's come out from the same team (is it the same team?).

I dunno how anyone could vote this best graphics of the year though, yeah all things considered the scope is nice, but pretty average textures on characters, shadow pop-in and some minor tearing.

Wow, I was zooming around in one of the glyph puzzles and found this hidden hex message:

41:6e:74:49:6b:79:74
68:65:72:61:20:4d:65
63:68:61:6e:69:73:6d
2c:20:6d:75:63:68:20
6f:6c:64:65:72:20:74
68:61:6e:20:31:35:30
20:42:2e:43:2e:45:2e

Which translates to

AntIkythera Mechanism, much older than 150 B.C.E.

What the? I wonder if there were more in the ones I've already done! @_@

Finally got a chance to start playing. The intro is very long and unfortunately I have to experience it twice. I'm really enjoying the changes so far though, and I look forward to more advanced combat.

I'm desperate to play this. This is the game i've been waiting for months now. It looks so good.

Looks like play.com wrecked the pre-orders on the Black Edition. Lots of people haven't received it yet and some peoples are "packing". Mine started packing Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon it was despatched. I've had it pre-ordered since it was first put on there and it seems i'm one of the last people to have theirs processed.

That will teach me to buy exclusive special editions.

Just finished it last night, and oh boy what a game!!

Wrestling the Pope!! priceless (Y)

And I thought everybody knew that we're engineered by a superior race :unsure:

And finally best closing exclamation ever! you're right Desmond WTF???

And Assassins Creed III? they are going to use the animus while in the truck, so I don't think it will be in present time, so there's gonna be a AC IV for sure.

It seems there are more tearing on PS3

Probably, AC1 on the PS3 was a technical nightmare.

It's just jarring after playing something like Uncharted 2 which is practically perfect in every way possible technically :p

The way the character runs annoys me as well, it's like he's constipated! :laugh:

Well, I have to say I cannot put AC2 down. I really tried to man-up through AC1 but eventually lost interest but damn, AC2 is fantastic. The story alone is keeping me coming back and Ezio is a much more refined character. Definitely got the franchise going in the right direction again. I actually am avoiding purchasing MW2 at this time because I want to finish AC2.

Same here (already finished it), first game of the year I couldn't put down until done, not even MW2 and UC2

Thats nice, don't care, they should've had them in the first but they didn't so I am not going to buy/play this game.

What a fail of a reason not to play the sequel :laugh:

My mate bought the black edition which was exclusive to play.com(?) and it wasnt even delivered today.

play.com fail.

I'm in the same boat. Really annoying but hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

If not, i will have to finish Dragon Age over the weekend.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
