Assassin's Creed II

[ATiC3]

Since there was never really a proper topic for it, as a big fan of the Assassin's Creed series I thought I would make one.





So basically what I did last week was rent this game, and that's why I didn't post much..... It was completely addictive, and I ended up keeping it for 2 more days than I should have... !

I beat the game and omg.. the ending was much... MUCH BETTER than the first one. Does anyone still remember the first one?

Remember the symbols all over the place, including the heart looking one above the bed. Did you ever realize those were clues to what the glyphs in ACII looked like...

Anyways, I want to get this game soon and also get the Battle of Forli DLC... has anyone else played the game and/or the DLC as of yet? It's been out since like... November.

Have you noticed something about uplay points at the bottom of your screen after doing certain things? Guess what, when you get a few certain achievements from the game.. they not only are achievement points but are uplay points as well. Here's how to redeem some prizes.

Note: You should be able to redeem before completing the game, but I don't know for sure yet.

Go to the main menu in the game, and then if you see "Y - Uplay" at the bottom of the screen press Y. It will take you to the uplay beta. If it asks for you to set up an account, then go to uplay.com and set up an account. You will most likely have to link your account to your XBOX Live name. Go over a few, go down to redeem and click that. I would encourage you to purchase everything but the theme... it is horrible....

This was a tip for XBOX 360 gamers. For PS3 gamers, google it because it may be different.

Yeah, it was on sale at EB games for like 30 bucks.

Do you know if they still sell the limited/collector's edition, or will I have to get those little extras off eBay? ...

Just beat the flying segment. Man, this game drags on for a while.

Attice: I hear the Bonfire of Vanities DLC will have all the maps and stuff from the limited edition, but you'll probably have to go on Ebay to get the alternate cover and other stuff.

@b.easy: Yeah.. I was looking it up last night.. all I really wanted was the figurine.. so... I think I'll just get the regular game and then the figurine. Also, for the flying segment... it's pretty easy to pass it without going after the archers on the rooftops... I was really disappointed by that. Don't forget to kick one down though for an achievement.

The only thing I hate is watching people play this... I'm a backseat gamer when it comes to these kinds of games...

Also added UPlay tip to the first post.

  I really dug this when I saw it a while back. Turns out it was produced by the guys who did 300 and Sin City.

[ATiC3]

Yeah. I actually just deleted those off my XBOX 360.. I'll probably get them again when I purchase the game... Those were REALLY GOOD...

So I finished this game last night.

The ending was...

thoroughly ridiculous. I'll be trading my copy in soon.

you atleast get the armor of the guy from number one? cause that was my personal favorite part of the game (i like the way each "key" was like a maze)

[b.easy]

I think I have 2 tombs left to explore, I might as well knock those out. Those things and the freakin glyph puzzles got kind of tough towards the end.

Hopefully that armor looks better than the free DLC Altair costume that looked all flat and stuff.

[Vault-tec Rep Høröúßøí]

its actually a very decent armor, and its looks very "spiffy" like if it was real you would know that the person was a "person of higher respect's" kinda, but thats just more a personal thought... but yeah the ending was kinda... plain?

Achievement Hunter, ftw!

It's what I used because after the 2nd one I was like.... wait, wtf? ...

@b.easy: Really? Because I thought the ending was kind of cool actually... Of course, it is an opinion...
