Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood


Recommended Posts

Roughly 15 hours from what I've read.

I'm glad they're continuing the story from the second, but I'm starting to get burned out on all these open-world games :/

15 hours is pretty good, I spent ages in AC2 before I really went back to the main mission so much exploring to do! :D

AC2 on pre-order? It's out already. :laugh:

Hahha, no. I just mean I pre-ordered AC2 right away but I might hold off on AC:B this time.

Ya, I'm with you on the open-world games but at least AC ties a good story with it, and I don't do many of the side missions. I think I only did like 2 races in AC2. I mostly hunted for the tombs and then the feathers. At the end I was one feather short, grrrr 99/100 but I wasn't going to waste time backtracking through the whole city looking for it so I just advanced the story.

If it didn't tie into a story as deep as it does I'd probably take a pass on the series, just going from one place to another doing random missions with some light story tacked on for the heck of it is very boring to me (Red Faction :G, i'm looking at you).

So, I remember that in the single player mode you can recruit assassins and then use them for missions etc, so then in multiplayer you more or less just make your own character and then play out like a MMO?

The multiplayer looks really lame. A bunch of people running around 1 hit killing each other? The game areas might as well be copy and pasted directly from ACII, as well. I'll just leave it at I'm very unimpressed.

I checked out a few videos and that's what it mostly looks like. Well, I'm more interested in the single player than any multiplayer anyways so I'll still probably get this, maybe not right away though like with AC2.

I hate it when devs tag on a poorly thought out MP section just because it's the cool thing to do. What happened to just having a very nice and dedicated single player game?

Everyone seems to be on this multiplayer bandwagen now and SP gets shafted because they think only games with MP can sell good for some reason. I've always played for a good SP with a good story, MP bores me, MMOs bore me. Running around the same maps for hours shooting people was never a draw for me.

That demo is so cool

I want it ?but I hope the game won't have very high system requirements.?

Visually it doesnt look any better than its predecessors. I think if you could run them fine, then you should be able to run this just as fine.

The Flags are back.. not sure if I like that.. it was a pain in the ass trying to find them in AC2.

Don't you mean AC1? Didn't AC2 have the feathers? Of which I got 99/100 GRRRRRRRRRRR. I hate coming up short by one or two each time and then trying to figure out where the heck the last one is, I gave up.

Anyways, having seen the gameplay demo i'm not going to hold off on it now, guess it'll be a preorder. I was going to before, but it seems they did a good chunk of work on the SP side of things. I thought it'd just be some gimped MP expansion or w/e. Good thing it's not.

Yes I meant AC1.. it's been a while I've played the game. But yeah Feathers was a pain as well.

in AC2 just go to the menu and in the info for each district it will tell you how many of each item you've collected including the feathers count. It'll narrow it down for you. If you still can't find it then you can also just get a game guide, there usually is only around 5 or 6 in a region so ay 99 it wouldnt take long.

    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
