I ordered a new 360 just for this game, I really, really want to try it!

WTF?

Didn't you buy a MW2 Elite bundle just recently? I seen you posting about it on twitter.

Man how many 360s have you bought in total? :laugh:

Oh no, I cancelled that order as I got the PC version of MW2 and the TrackIR 5 kit instead.

And with this one, 3 in total :p

Awww I thought it was like 6 or something :p

You should enjoy AC2, I've done my usual start something then get distracted by something else though.... WoW :hmmm: Can't help it, it's the holiday season I begin to have free time on my hands. Not played WoW in ages... Level 24 pala now, bets are I hit something like 40-50 if lucky then stop playing again :pinch:

My "pile of shame", aka uncompleted games, now totals something like 32423435.

So far I am the exact opposite, I came back to AC2 after giving God Of War 1 a few hours. While I undeniably enjoyed playing GoWI, when I sat there and compared the playing experience of it to AC2, it was no contest so I said what the hell am I doing, let me get back to AC2. Besides that, I am renting AC2, and I think you guys pretty much talked me into picking up the GoW Collection instead of also renting it, so that will always be there waiting for me to play when nothing else is out.

I might hit 6 at some point, I like new hardware :laugh:

Just can't believe you got back on the World of Warcraft wagon man, so many great games to play! I know what you mean, I usually hop on that wagon as well when I have a lot of free-time but I only do it during game dry spells - Back to the consoles!

As for the game, I'm blown away. Okay, it took quite a while for me to get to that point but I've slowly warmed up to it. I wasn't out of the "errand boy" mode until like 7 hours into the game, according to my game-save, the point where you are allowed to pick tasks and where you want to go and not be forced through the DNA sequences - 7 hours ... That was a killer. Once you get through that, the game shoots up like a rocket and all the RPG elements start appearing - Renovating a town, buying armour and weapons etc. combine that with the immense freedom and you got this "I'm 5 and it's Christmas tomorrow" feeling in your stomach, I love it.

Such an immense improvement over the first, just takes a tad too long to get properly started with the game.

God people, quit leaving such tempting comments about the game! I am determined to wait for the PC version (which apparently is coming out in freakin MARCH of next year.....~3.5 months away) but hearing all this great talk about the game is starting to tempt me towards getting the PS3 verison so I can play it now......

As for renovating a town, how does that work, do you do quests and what not that improve towns (as far as looks and what not) or is it like a slow rebuild of the town or what? I would love to see a game where things happen over time in a town, you help the town get some extra money and it starts to improve over a few night/day cycles or something.

I may get this a bit wrong but you are introduced to this town, owned / run by your uncle I believe it is, it's some tiny, poor town with dirty streets, shudders in front of the windows and everything looks miserable. You are introduced to the town architect, you can talk to this guy whenever you have a bit of spare florins ( the currency ) and pick a building in the town to renovate, some have various levels that also gives you a discount. Also when you purchase armour or weapons for yourself in the town, that money goes towards the value of the town. As you renovate shops, open up old closed mine shafts etc. the town starts to slowly get back into shape, streets get cleaner, houses look more appealing and the living standards go up.

It's not extremely elaborate but it's a fun pass time, plus you also have a chest where you can go pick up some of the income every 20. minute.

No idea, killed a few people, did some side-quests, got some assassin's seals etc. right now I'm about to meet Da Vinci at a boat, after the horse carriage sequence I'm not even that far, I spend so much time on everything else - Such an epic game :laugh:

That sounds really neat actually, might not be super in-depth (where you actually see development going on in the town) or anything, but if putting money into the town actually improves it that is a major bonus over the static towns in 99% of RPGs you see. Some games have where towns get destroyed or restored, but actually being able to help fund a town to improve the town itself seems like a really fun aspect.

Yeah I already have one of each option purchased in the town renovation I think I get 6200 or so every 20 minutes, and I just keep dumping it right back into the town and hoping I start making some serious cash.

haha how far are you in?

So I just did the carriage sequence, then instead of going right back to Leanardo I did another Crypt Seal (I currently have 4 I want Altairs Armor), so I see Sethos is technically ahead of me in the story and if I read you right you said he was not that far along? Seriously? It seems like I have been playing it for awhile now and feel like I should be at least at the 50% point. If I am not I honestly cannot say if I am going to make it. As much as I absolutely dig the game I just do not know if I can focus on it that much longer. Maybe, but maybe not, so that might be my one and only complaint, game may be to long. Like maybe instead of spreading the Conspirators all over the place maybe have them in one centralized area. :rofl:

I really do like the game a whole lot though, definitely is an amazing game in all regards honestly. It very well could win GOTY and I would not be mad at all if it did.

For the first time in years and I do mean years, I'm truly addicted, as in waking up in the middle of the night wanting to play more :| Assassin's Crack 2

GOTY for sure!

How much is Ubisoft paying you? Its already obvious they made a deal with MS and Sony that they would be console exclusive for 4 months after release before it hit PC. :p

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
