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.

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
    • Uh, after intense testing now, 'Samsung Browser' is not the best one outside of 'Microsoft Edge' after all. Opera Air is that. It has "some" bloat, but it's far less than what both Microsoft Edge and Brave browser have.
