A lot of people had problems with that spoilered part, including me. I checked a few videos in youtube and still had trouble trying to do that.

And oh yeah, this was my first game with 100%.

IM playing the game and reading back as I always do and was wondering what this was and how the hell I use it. I saw it pop up in the uncles town, where my home base is and Im rebuilding the city. How do I do this? I remember doing something similiar with prince of persia in order to get the altair outfit and other costumes

Im loving the game but where the hell is the NORTH marker on the map! Not only that, my stupid symbol on the full map is not an arrow so I cant tell which way im facing. Thats screwing the game up for me

Just finished, it was crazy fun. Took me longer than any game I've played in the last at least 5 years. By the way for anyone wondering, they have announced their first DLC for it, it is 1.2 gigs so it seems like a whole new campaign, it's called

Spoiler:
The first DLC pack is named “Battle Of Forli”. Although Ubisoft have not further revealed the details of the packs, the DLC may refer back to the disagreement that followed the death of Lord Pino III in 1480.

The second DLC pack is called “The Bonfire of the Vanities”. The title is a reference to a historical event, which took place in 1497, in Florence, Italy, where the burning of thousands of objects which indulged one in sinning took place, including art and books which was carried out by the supporters of the Dominican Priest Girolamo Savonarola.

The first DLC pack will be released in January, accompanied by the second in February.

The DLC packs will weigh in for a total size of 1 GB each. Due to the enormity of the DLC, it leads us to speculate weather the DLC might be new level content.

spoilorized it since it is mentioned in the last part of the game, don't want to ruin it for anyone.
Ahhh so thats how you do it. D'oh! But how do you earn those points? Hmmmm, and I thought the theme was free, I see itll cost me 10

That took me a long time to get it just right. You need to be line up perfectly under the ledge.

It took me a little while to get used to the control but once I got it, it made everything so much easier.

I just need to clean up 4 trophies to get 100%. The most annoying one and the one that I'm stuck on is the "Racing against the Thief" trophy. I'm doing it in Venice and I can't get past the 16th post out 22.
Do the race in Florence, it's much easier.

Thanks. It took me a while but I finally was able to win the race in Venice. I just need to collect all of the feathers, solve the riddles and wear the cape in order to get 100% in this game.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • Dovrai essere un assassino di nuovo

Beat the game last week and I LOVED the ride. I platinum ed this bitch on the first go and though it took a long as time, given the game takes place over 10 years, if felt right. After playing I got to thinking and remembered something I thought I heard, and it turns out I was right, I dont think its been discussed but Showtime is going to have a new show called " The Borgias" and Jeremy Irons is playing Rodrigo Borgia! Fucking awesome

I gave up on AC1 and started playing for about an hour. Huge improvements already with making outside the Animus more interesting. Also that chick Lucy sounds and looks like Kristen Bell. They should get her to play Lucy in the movie version.

That would be because it is Kristen Bell's voice.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • Dovrai essere un assassino di nuovo

I'm loving this game. But damn is it one long ass motherfucker of a game! I just finished the sequence with the big party with the Masks. I think I'm almost done. So much better than the 1st.

I think 2 was the best in the series.

I agree..though Black Flag was close...in fact if they could just throw away 1 and 3 and turn Brotherhood and Revelations into one game, cutting about half the crap from both games you would have one of the greatest trilogies of all time. (I still love all the games....except 3...that was shit)

Easily. With Black Flag coming in a distant second and Revelations in third.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • Dovrai essere un assassino di nuovo

I just finished this game earlier today.

18 HRS 28 MIN. logged

This game was a mixed bag for me. Although I had a lot of fun there are some serious flaws I hope got addressed for later entries.

Fast Travel; This was really annoying having to travel long distances to reach FT station instead of just letting me pull up a map to FT.

Guards on the Roof- My favorite part was the parkouring. To be interrupted by guards every other rooftop killed the flow of jumping rooftop to rooftop.

Annoying/ Boring side missions and collectibles- I tried out some of the side stuff once or twice but mainly stuck to the Main Missions. They was plenty to do but all came off as gimmicky. And when they forced me at the end to do a bullshit collectathon in order to advance the main story I almost rage quit

The stuff I liked;

Story- A big improvement from the original. I loved Enzio and his story. They should've included more Davinci stuff. He was great as well.

Graphics- For an early 360 title the graphics still are good to look at and hold up well.

Mission Variety- This was the best improvement from the 1st title. So much more than just go here and assassinate target.

If I had to rate this I'd give it a B+

You should give Ubisoft your timely feedback, I am sure they'll take it into consideration for the next game.

I can tell you that the annoying guards on the roof thing doesn't improve in Black Flag at least.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2 • Dovrai essere un assassino di nuovo

I love Black Flag but, yeah, the rooftop guards are annoying. The running assassinations were a nice addition in BF but I feel they should change it so that if you kill (or even shove them aside) mid-parkour that it doesn't stop the flow of movement.

Also, the series still has those awkward moments when the character insists on running horizontally or vertically but is incapable of diagonal movement. Hopefully Unity fixes that.
