[Official] Assassin's Creed 2


Recommended Posts

Okay, I?ve been trying to complete this game for what seems like ages now and Im stuck on what I think is just before the last mission.

It says I had to find all the codec pages and then go see Leonardo, I?ve found them all but now Im unable to find him..

At this point he should be in Venise or in your mansion near the codex wall.

Just finished the game. Totally wish there were more games like it. Solid story line, other activities, fun, making you think how to accomplish something from occasion to occasion.

Gonna miss it.

Same! I was thoroughly impressed, considering I couldn't get into the first installment.

I played it 4 nights, 5 hours/night ish and ended up beating it after ~23 hours (including most side quests, bar feathers and races)

Didn't give this game enough time when I first got it, currently hooked on it like crack. Great game (Y)

The second episode was good but the third is even better.

You mean Brotherhood yeah?

Was a bit wary as only a year has passed, think I'll wait till it's around ?20!

absolutly. In Brotherhood they took the gameplay elements that made AC2 a great game and expanded them even further.

Fighting on teh horse is soo 11&!! :)

Awesome, but I won't be getting Brotherhood till it's cheaper.

Want to plat this, having a ton of fun, but those 100 feathers look annoying :/ I have very little patience for collecting things when it's 3 figures. Any good guides for location anyway? I think I have about 12 from naturally playing through so far.

I am still playing AC2 as I need to finish it before I move onto the Brotherhood SP. Just finished Sequence 9. Just got all the seals as well so good that awesome armour! The last couple of Assassins Tombs were highly annoying! Game would be so much easier if Ezio followed your input properly! Apart from that, this game is epic. :)

AB, check IGN or Gamefaqs for some feather tips, someone will have made an image with them and it is easier this time around as you can see how many feathers are left in each area in the menu.

Ubisoft has just released an update to Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition which adds SteamPlay support! They also has released and Deluxe Edition Upgrade (it costs 3.99 euro) for the Standard Edition users :)

I see a deluxe edition on steam. I just bought AC2 a little while ago (2 weeks or so), so I gather I don't have it? The description at the time showed what is in the deluxe edition though...

I thought the ending was brilliant. It was quite thought provoking, and it makes me want Brotherhood really badly. I might try and borrow a friend's copy of Brotherhood though because I'm quite stingy with my money unless I can get something for what I know to be a very low price. The entire experience was very detailed, and although I had a few points I disliked (collecting all Codex pages to progress), I enjoyed playing immensely. I've also met a lot of people who are very passionate about the Assassin's Creed franchise through Twitter, which is great to see. While it might not be as popular as the Call of Duty franchise, it still has some very passionate fans.

Well I got the first AC just before Christmas (after a friend recommended the series) and have been giving it a go the last few days. I've completed the Damascus assassination and it is already starting to feel very repetitive and well... boring (rare that I say that of a game - last one was Civilization Revolution). The fighting is a case of hitting square repeatedly, and running/jumping/escaping seems to consist of holding R1 and X like there are no other buttons on the controller. The travelling between the assassin's home and Damascus/Jerusalem/Acre has become very tedious (is there a point to it?) after just my second trip to the point where I've just charged through at full gallop completely ignoring the many soldiers chasing after me.

Are AC2/Brotherhood more of the same or are there major improvements? Or am I missing something? Because at the moment I really don't get what my friend's hype of the series was about.

Sorry to sound so negative but I've heard so many good comments about this series that I'm left feeling a bit baffled at the moment.

There are major improvements. I didn't even finish the first AC due to its repetitive nature. But AC2 and AC:B were two of my favorite games from the last 2 years.

    • 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.
    • 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 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

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
