Assassin's Creed

[paul]

really enjoying it but bloody hell, its got some of the most annoying npc's ever created. The beggars and the drunks drive me nuts!

I found the begging women in Acre very annoying with the yokel one size fits all voice.

Do glitches only happen during cutscenes?

The reason I ask is because I just did a running assassination on a guard and as I pounced and stabbed him the screen did a similar thing to the cutscene glitches, only it happened quite fast so I did react quickly enough as I was holding the buttons to pull off the move.

Did anybody pick pocket the doctor and find the escape code in the bedroom?

I didn't know about these until I completed the game and would like to know what's on the doctors laptop and the one in the conference room.

Well I've just finished this and have to admit that, despite all the shortcomings, I really enjoyed it.

It's undoubtedly a typical Ubigame and plagued with problems (thankfully no real game breakers this time) and some crappy design decisions - particularly that whole last bit. I haven't gone around an area and randomly hammered the button like that since playing Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis

Having just read through this thread I'm pleased to say I found the Optimus Prime wall

And if the sequel doesn't have

->Open Spoiler<-

hi-tech ninja assassins in it that wield both guns and swords,

then I'm not buying it

Lots of

conspiracy theory

stuff.

->Open Spoiler<-

It talks about various things they've been doing to obtain the parts of Eden. Everything from the Philadelphia Experiment to putting fluoride in the drinking water as a cover for some diabolical scheme.

In fact there's lots of stuff about what's been going on in the outside world whilse Desmonds been on the Animus and about what happened to the other test subjects.

Thanks!

Hammered? As in frantically stabbed at the buttons? If you've got maxed out health by that point (which you should have), once you block (i.e. just hold right trigger) you're effectively invincible. Wait for enemy to stop doing pointless grabs on you and attack; counter, enemy dead. Rinse, repeat, yawn. One of the easiest parts of the entire game. The only part that had me stuck for a bit was

->Open Spoiler<-

the duel right at the end

, since it took me a while to work out

->Open Spoiler<-

you have to finish him off with the hidden blade

. Even then, when he knocked me down to practically no health, I'm sure the game actually increased the amount of health a successful strike gave me back by about ten times. Baffles me how people found it hard, it's nigh on impossible to lose unless you just put down the controller.

I think I'm on my 4th or 5th target in the game atm, and it seems to me that the difficulty is just right for this point in the game. For the first two targets or so, the guards were a lot more docile and fewer in number. Now, the streets are packed with them, and upgraded ones to boot - my usual tactic of grabbing and throwing when surrounded keeps getting countered, so now in a situation I just find myself running.

I did like how

I was more or less a god right at the start of the game tho, before I lost all my **** lol

I wasn't on about that bit, I was talking about the bit after that

->Open Spoiler<-

when it takes you back out of the Animus with were little clue of what to do next.

Oh, okay. No hammering for me - I freely admit I just said "sod this" after a couple of minutes and went to GameFAQs.

[reektan]

I did exactly the same - I was walking around thinking " sooo.. is that it ? " then actually had to check a FAQ which advised me to do something i'd not done throughout the entire game so I could see the credit roll.

Just seen this Guard Love video...I laughed like a child!!!

[James Mc Fadden]

I've just had to order in the guide book for this as I simply get lost nearly all the time. Either i'm getting worse at games or Assassin's Creed really is one hell of a confusing game....

Anyway, that Guard Love video is fantastic.

The look around is hilarious.....
