[ALL] Assassin's Creed: Revelations

[Pills]

I think the main issue is that they put a LOT of effort into improving multiplayer, and may have lost some of the other development.

I'm thus far finding it similar to Brotherhood, and not as good as AC II.

I've managed to level up enough assassins to assign to each Den I've taken. I hope this keeps me from having to do more tower defense. Time will tell.

 

[Pills]

I only have two assigned to dens now, but I think you need to complete both missions (one at level 10, one at 15) in order to ensure that the den won't be attacked again.

I'm trying to get a lot of the peripheral stuff done before I advance the main storyline more.

Same here. I am in the middle of the third chapter, and I spent my day before work running around and taking dens, buying property and getting viewpoints. Only ran into one tower defense since, but that was because I got caught in a cut scene. At least heralds don't take as much to bribe this time around.

Finished sequence 4 last night. Then den stuff I'm pretty much ignoring at this point (well sorta) since its the story that interests me right now.

I'm enjoying it though.

The best way to deal with the den stuff is to get your assassins to level 10. Play the side quest with them when you assign them to a den which gets them up to level 11 and then send them on missions and get them up to level 15 which will lock the den down and give you control of that territory.

I honestly like the way its doing that. I have a couple of places locked down now and its just better (even compared to the last games) when you can run around a place without having to get into random fights every 2 or 3 mins. I at first was annoyed with this but I think it was because I wanted to run through the story line without doing anything because I was so tight on time when I played.

 

[Tengo Juego]

I think, even with the dens locked down, you still earn notoriety. But I'm almost done with the game. Currently on sequence 8.

Done with the SP. Admittedly, I did skip some of the side missions, but not a lot. I felt the main storyline wasn't long enough. I really did like the ending, though.

I may go back and do some more (I didn't buy *any* landmarks, and I didn't do the last two Desmond things), but I'm mostly switching to MP now.

As for AC3:

 

Upstate New York it is!

I went back and did more SP - once you get 25 animus fragments, you can get a map with some journal pages. Once you get all 10, there's a new hidden mission where you get the game's good armor.

I think at some point I'll get all of the animus fragments and see what happens. I have about 40, I think. I have all of the books as well.

Also, so you know, you can go back to Cappodocia after the game's over.

So a lot that I have read/heard is that the game is a little light on the "revelations". Spoiler free: are you finding this to be the case?

Yes it is......

The end is really, really good, and ties a lot of things together.

I enjoyed the Altair sequences. The rest... the story was just too short. I mean, I realize they had over 3m people playing multiplayer, but, still... most of us bought the game for the Ezio storyline.

If you're looking to 100% the game, you have to do a lot of different things that aren't required in the actual gameplay. The bombs, for instance - I used them sparingly, but you have to do a lot with them to finish the bomb part of the DNA.

One thing I was disappointed with in comparison to Brotherhood - only one side mission per faction (thieves, Romani, mercenaries). There were at least 5 each in the last game, and they were in AC II, too.

I'll agree with that, it ties everything together and makes sense for closing out Ezio and Altair. But there was no big "revelation" or anything earth-shattering.

And yes, I am missing all of the side missions and things like that. I guess they thought they could get away with just one, considering they put in two extra missions for controlling each den.

So I bought the PC version today, and it doesn't work.

Fuck you very much Ubisoft

What do you mean?

But that is one of the main reasons I play on console. I pop in the disc and it plays. No need to worry about system requirements and shit.

Think too hard. Twigg play game. Game now play!

I'm just a bit half way through the game and I think I've played as Desmond himself for a while 10 mins.

So, I prestiged in the multiplayer a couple of days ago (got to level 50, and started over). They now have 99 levels of prestige, I think, and certain things only unlock when you hit x prestige.

However, they actually incorpated some story into the multiplayer this time, and you learn a few things. There are videos after every 5 levels, I think.

 

Desmond's father is the Assassin Mentor, it looks like. The plot of the next game is likely going to involve the Templars coming to kill him. You also get a lot of info on Abstergo - Subject 4, for instance, changed sides after he killed the last Mentor in 2000.
