I am happy when I find the feathers but I've not got many! I am still in the middle of the game. I like it a lot but it makes me feel vertigo at times, climbing up high towers actually makes me nervous! It's quite good.

I never did play the first one. I hear this one is a lot better. When I finish this, do you think it would be a let down to play the first? Should I just wait for the third?

the second is without a doubt better. i think gamewise, its a definite letdown to go back to the first.

as for the story, i dont think youll miss anything by skipping it now that you started the second.

the first would definitely be a chore to go back to and actually finish after experiencing the goodness of this one.

wait for the 3rd i say.

Man its the feathers that irk me , apart form that I need to do that No hitter thingy.

no kidding, im 2 freakin feathers short now :pinch:

Anybody got any tips for the "no-hitter" achievement? where's the best place to do this? I can't even seem to get 10 guys in one fight anyway before they run off scared.

well I'll tell you how I did it. I got the Auditore cape by getting all the feathers. Pretty much that cape makes you Notorious everywhere.. so just wear it in any city and guards will be chasing after you. When you are surrounded with 10+ guards, throw a smoke bomb and that will make everyone coughing etc.. Then pretty much just dual blade assassinate everyone. When the smoke starts to dissipate, just throw another one, Rinse and repeat till all 10 are dead.

Probably for the "Stuck in hometown" glitch - I believe there was a glitch mentioned, on a certain act you would save and be permanently stuck in your hometown in some way.

ah ok.. no concern of mine then.. lol.

And the best place to do it is in the courtyard by the building where you tried to save the Doge (when using Da Vinci's flying machine). Lots of guards. Run past them until a bunch are following you, jump up the tall tower in the courtyard (where there was a glyph), climb a bit, then do an air assassination, should take out two guards. Smoke bomb, dual blade, etc.

It was a gamebreaking glitch for after chapter 11, if you autosaved and quit, you'd be stuck in no-man's land as desmond in the animus.

Has anyone seen the giant squid?

found tihs on gamespot

When you go to assassinate the Conspirators in Tuscany, the one in the church with a bunch of monks in black robes. I found that to be the best place to get the trophy as many of the enemies go down in two/one blows and hardly hit or run away.

that is where I got mine. I just used my sword and countered EVERYTHING

and the end was good. like the first it makes it so it can open flawlessly in ACIII

Assassin's Creed III. My thoughts would be it could be anyone one of the statues (the ones you get to obtain Altaiir's armor).. it's all over the world and in different times. Possible?

Something tells me they'll cheese it up, and have Desmond be able to go all Quantum Leap/Sliders and jump between Assassins.

I did love playing through this game, once I had Finished and them Platinumed, I still wanted a lot more to do.

Definitely one of the best games this year for me.

Something tells me they'll cheese it up, and have Desmond be able to go all Quantum Leap/Sliders and jump between Assassins.

Would we get a buddy that would appear and disappear out of nowhere like in Quantum leap? would be win, lol. :D

But I doubt they would go backwards in time, the way they are going is to slowly lead up to the modern day I would assume, and with how the game's free running mechanics work and the limits imposed, I don't think it could ever take place in say, New York etc, the buildings would be a little too big in general.

However a city like London, where a lot of the buildings are only a couple of stories high could work well, and the way Britons and a lot of European cities are set out, with terraced housing etc would work well for the free running around a city in the modern day.

Only problem with London, CCTV would be covering his tail the entire time :p

Have yet to play the second one, and I'm still replaying the first; it was so good as a new ip!

Never got around to finishing it before selling it, much better than the first but I just don't have time for games like GTA that try to pack in everything and the dog. The only exception being FF games, but that's mostly because I'm more interested in them/the main storyline is a bit more linear. Then again I've put 140 hours into DS, but again that's because it's a focussed game with what side quests it has being meaningful, not there for the sake of extending play time.

I had more fun playing GTA4 than AC2. The free running is great, but it still needs tweaking, a lot of times I facepalmed walls or fell to my death cause it jumped the wrong way or didn't latch onto the right wall. Probably still the best attempt at it, Mirrors Edge was over complicated.

I always thought from the get go AC would've worked better if things were set in those times without any of that cack time machine/memory nonsense, that really put me off the first one.

Up there as one of the good games of the year, but I couldn't stretch this one to GOTY, only because I couldn't finish it, my analysis is flawed/biased as it's unfair to say a games not worthy of a general GOTY award without at least finishing it.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
