Played and finished, it was alright, probably took between 30-45 mins to do.

Wasn't anything great, and finishes where sequence 13 is to begin, so you won't know what happens unless you buy both.

If you have the extra money lying around in your account on XBL/PSN and want to get rid of it, and you like AC2, then I'm sure it is worth it, but it was a bit meh in the end.

I agree, it was a quick breeze through, but it was fun. If you want to fill in the gaps, it's a good pick up. I'm kinda glad it came out, I have 37 more feathers to ago and I didn't really want to go hunting, but now that it's in my console, I guess I have an excuse to finish it off. :)

No trophies were added to the PS3 version, so I would guess no to the achievements as well.

thanks

i really love the game and im only missing 3 achievments (the painting one is glitched for me! :() but i feel like im done with the game story wise so does this push Etzio's story forward? or is it an unnecessary plot?

feather location guide for anyone else that needs it... im going through it now :(

It is just a gap filler, the parts it shows weren't really necessary in the game. Basically like a deleted scene from a film.

Ok so I played the addon today. I won't say I regret getting it but I must say it wasn't anything too special either. I think it lived up to its name of being a battle, unfortunatly I found the fighting mechanics of AC2 to not necessarily be the stong point so having such a combat heavy addon wasn't all that exciting IMHO. Still, it was relatively cheap so for fans i think it's probably worth getting if only to fill in a few holes. It also ended on a bit of an edge too which is a decent lead in to the next one which should hopefully be a bit more exciting too.

It is pretty short but so if you are on the fence or don't think it'll be enough I think it wouldn't be a total waste to wait until the next pack is released and play them both in one go. It might be a bit more substantial that way.

They might bundle them for a retail sale but I don't think its something normally done for digital purchases?

I think they'll be sold seperate and they'll release an Assassins Creed GOTY edition at some point that includes the chapters on the disc.

By the way, the DLC does not include any trophies or achievements. And the first one is completeable in less than an hour, and appears to still not have the polish of the full title (broken AI, etc.).

It does not but it gives you the chance to do Fly Swatter again.

actually on that note, I wonder if they'll include it in the PC release or not given thats not out until March. Would be a nice "thanks for putting up with us" gesture if they did.

I'm pretty sure they're including everything for the PC version, can't remember where I read it, but there will be a version with all the DLC :)

Borrowed it from a friend for a few hours - making me run out and buying it now.

I bought and beat the first one over christmas break from school a few years back--enjoyed it for what it was, then re-sold it.

I'll probably do the same with this.

Love the storyline and gameplay... just not really replayable.

I hope they put one in ancient china. That would be sick.

Or London during the 1700's

One thing I LOVE about this game is all of the background info you can get by pushing the back button on the controller. I learned that Da Vinci created designs for a helicopter and solar power!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
