For the last time this is not a spoiler, Ubi pretty much told everyone early on in development + that dappy model let even more slip and it is revealed on practically inserting the disc.

It would have been kinder to have just put him in a coma from the off to shut him up

Just spent an hour or two with this after finally getting my red ringed 360 replaced.

What IS all this future crap that's in the way of a perfectly acceptable story? So far it seems like an elaborate cover for a ton of videogame conventions.

It looks amazing, but so far that's it for me. Even the movement feels too automatic, and lacks the satisfaction of Prince of Persia's.

I'd put spoiler code on the last bit of that post

As Nembot says, it's practically the first thing you discover after switching the game on so it's not really a spolier, well not in the forum sense of the word anyway. It's most certainly a spoiler in the true sense of the word however as it dirties the game.

Finished this the other night and really enjoyed, going back to mop up on some achievements.

Classic mad flag hunt like crackdown, ONE left in one area, and just couldn't find it, used a guide, and it's not in any of the places they say, so cheers Ubi, glitch means the only way I can get my achievement is start all over again - which then means doing EVERYTHING again to get a 100% completion. Now I know why I hate flag/orb/secret package hunting

Some say on boards you shouldn't collect any flags during mission incase they don't register, which kind of defeats the object because you usually collect them as you see them! GRRRR!!!

Automatic GOTY... fighting guards using the short blade / throwing knives and am surrounded by 3 guards (Now this wasn't entirely deliberate but I am taking full credit for it)... altair counters first guy facing him DEAD, instantly spins to throw a knife at second guy DEAD, then counters the third again with the short BLADE, all in the one fluid motion... I let out a yelp!! The second guy must have been just out of range of melee attack so he got a knife in the breast plate.

I have been playing this for 15+ hours and dont want it to end. 15 hours in and still the fluidity of the combat blows me away... as I said GOTY moments aplenty. It can repeat missions all it wants if you ask me, when the enviornment is this impressive and the animation is on this form it doesn't really matter!!

Quick question also... how do you bring up the guard location info during a hit after you acquire it? I have dont 6 assassinations but aint ever had to use it but would like to see how it works.

The fact is you`ll never really need to use it, but if you want a look press start, select memory and then highlight the memory you want (ie pickpocket mission where you got a map) and then press "A" to view it.

OK I have 19 of 20 flags from Masyaf. That as I'm sure you can understand, is worse than having none at all. How am I meant to find the last one? I ran around that village like a loon for about an hour last night, and seem to have flag blindness. I am phail...

[Yoshimax]

It seems many are 1 flag short (myself included) - I have a theory it's up on top of the creed building but I'll be ****ed if I can find a way to scale it - there's a haybale at the bottom though (just to the left as you come out the door) which is what has convinced me there must be a way up.......

[MikeF]

It isn't. You can't get up there

I have all 20 from the strating area and non are on the top of that building

[112]

there are 2 in the gardens and 2 cunningly hidden on the edge of a cliff face

I too am 1 flag short, im still curious as to what you get for your troubles, so please no one spoil the suprise lol!

112

Yep got all them too. You just know it's going to be one that's out in the open. A guide wouldn't even help, as they're all like, flag number x is behind the house with the square roof. Or by the two peasants on the bench.
Cheers for that.

[Yoshimax]

Piss that's ma theory out the window then.

I think I may only have grabbed 1 from the cliff edge though . . . .

[jimmbob]

Yeah there's two, quite precariously placed.
