[ALL] Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

[BrntO4Life]

The multiplayer is addicting as hell. I haven't played a game this much online since Quake 3.

By the time I get to play it, I doubt anyone will be online.

Jump in now... there are plenty of people. I wouldn't recommend doing ranked matches first, though. Those will be tougher.

Feel free to hit me up if you see me online, assuming you're on PS3 (Pillsy74).

There are also a few really good people on the ubisoft forums who have videos up of their gameplay; it's helpful to watch them.

I'm on Spring Break, so I'm away from my 360, but I'll be sure to check out those videos.

Just wondering who has finished the DLC yet. I have, and I thought it was a solid story mode. And a little bit more was thrown in about what happened after the end of the game- it wasn't just a memory forced in randomly like the previous games.

 

[Pills]

Yeah - I liked the new guys talking more.

You don't realize that Ezio is 47 at that point in the game!

I also liked how they referenced Leonardo and Salai's... relationship.

I'm glad the decided to include trophies/cheevos for this DLC. Both AC2 DLC packs were sans trophies/cheevos which was complete bullshit.

 

[Pills]

I got one of the hardest achievements in multiplayer the other night - Extreme Variety. You need *15* different bonuses to get it.

Now, if I can somehow get a triple escape, I'll get the platinum "Abstergo Employee of the Month" trophy.

just started playing this, yeah its more of the same but the story is actually engaging and running around ancient Rome is very cool...


and along the way you learn things about history that you may have never bothered to ask, for example....I had no idea they had lace Booty shorts in the 1500's!?

I'm biased so let me ask it here:

I liked Assassin's Creed. I loved AC2 and Brotherhood. How different are these games?

My wife tried AC. She said she didn't like it because it was too repetitive. Do I even try to get her to play AC2 or Brotherhood?

 

[Pills]

Yes. AC is very repetitive. AC2 is not. The missions are much better, and mostly unique.

AC has gotten better with each subsequent release. AC2 and Brotherhood also have a continuous narrative, so she should play both.

 

[IamMedellin]

So apparently....Madonna was a term of endearment in 15th century Rome....

a compliment of sorts...as opposed to what it mean's today

 

[IamMedellin]

finished the story.....just collecting flags for an achievement and waiting for that DLC to go on sale

 

[Twigg4075]

And....I just started this the other day. So far it seems like the front runner for the best game in the series. I love burning down those damn Borgia towers.

I think it's my favorite, but I waver between it and AC2 (although AC2 might be more nostalgia for me because I haven't played it in a LONG time). Been meaning to play the PS3 version, which I just discovered that I had when I moved a few weeks ago.

It really is an amazing game. So much to do and it's all so fun.

Like I mentioned on the 'cast, I think AC2's story is slightly better, but AC:B is a better overall game. Both are fantastic, though.

 

[tigstah]

i am playing ac2 right now.....cant wait to play brotherhood.....

 

[PepperNY]

I havent played Assassins Creed since the first one and it was very repetitive so after playing it about halfway through i stopped playing and havent played it since. I was able to pick up Revelations at best buy free a few months ago and was curious if I should play the others before jumping into this game. Ive heard the games got much better after the first one but I dont want to be lost in the story

Yes. If you can't get yourself to finish AC1, watch some videos on the ending of it, then play AC2 on. Not only does the present day story carry over through all of them, but Ezio's story carries over from AC2-Revelations.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm not sure how I feel about these additional objectives with each story mission in order to get 100% sync. Some of them are bullshit and have forced me to replay the mission several times. I also don't like how these Borgia Captains run like bitches when you try to kill them. Then you have to wait until the next "shift" to try to take them out. Ugh.

The rest of the game is bowls of awesome though.
