Gizmo Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Wow that ending was weird. And I'm glad I didn't come into this thread a few days ago guys, with the spoilers lying all over the place!
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Question on treasure. I see some stuff on the map which has two treasure icons, one on top of another, yet I can't find either of them. Are they on certain people?

Are they on certain people? Look on the ground. When you see an area guarded by 3 or more guards, that is where these treasure chests are. Inside the building they are guarding Hope that helps

EEVILMURRAY Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Bumpage?! Did anyone have slight problems with the brightness?
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 ac3 is apparently well underway with mostly the same team, and the game will once again focus on ezio. Are you sure you're not thinking about Assassin's Creed Episodes As far as I can gather, this title is not AC3, it's just an extension of the AC2 story.
Nolan Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Bumpage?! Did anyone have slight problems with the brightness? Not until Venice where a certain highpoint tower type was pure white at the top with the sun on it. Only spot really, although my brightness is bumped down one notch in the options from the get go. Gives really nice blacks like that. You may have to play around with your TV settings some to get the right brightness/contrast ratios.

Only spot really, although my brightness is bumped down one notch in the options from the get go. Gives really nice blacks like that. You may have to play around with your TV settings some to get the right brightness/contrast ratios. I find myself having to fap between 5-7 on the brightness depending where/when. I was using a guide to find one of the Glyphs, as I passed where the map thingy said it would be [i was tailing someone at the time so could look around, and then forgot where it was, all the buildings look the same], later found it. I wouldn't have seen it, the roof was pure white. After turning brightness down to see it, I go back down to the streets, suddenly things are pitch black. Y'argh. Just used the batmobile to fly via fire. Despite the lovely repetition, it's a nice game. Guards die when they touch water, genius.
Nolan Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 If you have to bounce back and forth like that with brightness you probably need to adjust some TV settings. Don't over do it though, you may make other games look out of wack.

Doesn't happen with other games on the same TV. Really massively varied brightness from TOO WHITE to TOO DARK.

Don't over do it though, you may make other games look out of wack. You're saying, that if my TV's normal brightness works for every other game [and TV channel and DVD] I've played, but fucks up for Assassin's Creed, that it's my TV that needs remixing here?
Nolan Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Yes. I did some slight adjustments with my monitor (serves for PC and 360) to make AC2 look correct, and everything else still looks great. I didn't do much I just changed my brightness and contrast some. Make small adjustments to both and take note of how much it changes in case it does foul up other things.
Jimbob Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Case anyone is wondering, there is some DLC coming for this. First patch could be with us end of the month. As far as i can tell, they will fill the gaps between Memory 11 and 14.
Emerald Emblem Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Battle of Forli DLC GT Review - 6.9 Seems as though It's best bought with the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC.
Jimbob Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Agreed I do prefer the Forli DLC. It seems there is more to actually do with this DLC than the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC, which took me about an hour to complete.
flameboy Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Ok so MAJOR BUMPAGE! BUT! You can this for just £9.99 from game.co.uk preowned! BARGAIN! I had to buy it and had £2.50 on my reward card so got it for just £7.49. I never finished the original but everyone says this is a ton better.
Emasher Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 At that price, you can't go wrong. I'd say 2 was overall better than the first game, but both games did different things correct. I liked the graphic style of the first game a little better for instance, especially outside the cities. In the second one, getting new weapons wasn't as fun because you could buy new weapons all the time. The first one however was way more repetitive, and a lot more things felt like a chore. In the second one, the chores were optional, which actually made them a little bit more fun to do.
bryanee Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 I got the Complete Edition from zavvi for £17.95 new in the mega monday sale. Great deal.
flameboy Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 damn bank blocked my credit card because of too much activity over the weekend! idiots...gonna have to wait till tomorrow now hope its still the same price.
Nintendohnut Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I got this from game while it was cheap. Really enjoyed the first one when I borrowed it from a friend so didn't mind splashing out a bit on this. Really enjoying it so far, don't know how far though I am but I'm currently in tuscany again, killing a bunch of peeps. Loving the new things, they really add something to the game as a whole and make it refreshing and different enough from the last one. The money system is really good and although I usually have loads I like that there's the villa to spend it on, and that you have to balance things. Also liking the upgrades and choice of weapons too. Basically I'm just enjoying the game as a whole!
GeeKay Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Agreed I do prefer the Forli DLC. It seems there is more to actually do with this DLC than the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC, which took me about an hour to complete. I've got this on the PC and the DLC comes integrated in within the main game. But see that ferkin Bonfire level. I just gave up and not returned to the game yet - I keep getting killed time and time again. There are not enough fires to keep me in the air, lol. I really ought to go back to it though.
flameboy Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Should I finish the first before I play this or just watch a youtube plot recap thingy?
Shorty Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Finish the first.... everything important happens in the last 2 minutes of the game.
Nintendohnut Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Just about to start the level in the flying machine after setting up the fires. I'm enjoying venice at the moment, although I do just want to be able to access the whole city because there are only about two glyphs for me to find and it's frustrating not being able to get them. I also want the pistol, it sucks that you get it so late in the game.
