Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood PS3 Discussion

I may pick it up just to support Ubisoft and maybe I will end up playing it more than I do now.

[quote name='icedrake523']Is there anything special that comes with Best Buy copies?[/QUOTE]
They do/did: a MP skin 'The Officer'. Problem is, we have no idea if they're still being printed with the code plus the original package had zero indication of it being inside. Basically, you have to peer through the top of the case and try to see if the DLC card is inside.
 
I see. I noticed BB copies have a different UPC and was wondering if that was still the case. I'd rather save the $3 and return it and get it from Amazon. I just hope the fact that the disc came loose inside doesn't cause a problem.

Sigh, I guess we couldn't expect free stuff forever. :)

I'll probably grab this one, too.
 
Have they had any double XP weekends or anything like that? I'm painfully close to my platinum, but i don't have the patience to hit lvl50.

Not that I know of. I am at level 40. Enjoyed it thus far.
 
Have you noticed the update, I played one day and didn't have to bad of a time getting into games, and I didn't lose my presets. I only thing I can find about the update is this from uk.ubisoft.

We want to thank you very much for your patience over the last months while our developers worked feverishly in order to resolve some annoyingly persistent bugs.
Once again, here’s a list of what this new Title Update will do:

Improvements
- Faster Map Loading
- Improved Matchmaking
- Improved DLC Management

Fixes
- In the lobby a player can change his team skin when joining a session "in-game" if his teammate quits the game.
- A rare and random bug could crash the game for a user in the White Room/Profile Set Selections screen after being killed.
- All the perks can be stacked up on one profile set.
- Ability set reset after Animus Project Update installation.
- Save game made with a previous Animus Project Update leads to incompatibility between users.
- Joining an empty session may lead to white screen.
- Templar grade appears even without installing Animus Project Update 2.0.
- The number of kills performed in the introductory session could be miscalculated.
- A rare crash could happen while playing really long sessions.
- Player can get the End Bonus "Untouchable" if he joins a session during the middle of a round.
- A rare “Internal error occurred” appears when rematching in certain condition.
- Under specific condition, a crash could occur when a player climbs some specific spots behind San Donato church.

This Title Update will be an automatic update, so all you have to do is accept it and your console will handle the rest!

Your ComDev,
Gabe
 
Yeah, I got 1.05 and was getting into matches super quick (at least in comparison, never had to wait more than 2 minutes or so tops). Was very nice. Should get me playing more for sure.
 
[quote name='icedrake523']I finally opened it tonight and started playing. Did anyone else have a white gradient at the top of the screen?[/QUOTE]

That has been an issue for some people... I haven't started SP, so I can't speak to it. Pretty weird, IMO.
 
Started playing the DaVinci Disappearance today. Pretty good so far. Haven't gotten into the new multiplayer stuff yet. I started getting antsy the other day when the new empty trophy slots appeared, so when I bought it today I started whoring myself out for more trophies.
 
Had Role Model trophy pop during a particularly sweet match of Manhunt. Looks like the only trophy I may have to boost is Abstergo Employee of the Month. I know I need air kill with gun which shouldn't be an issue... and I don't know if I have gotten extreme variety or triple escape. Will find out soon enough.

I still need extreme variety for abstergo EOTM, which we could do easily if could get an alliance game with enough people
 
How long does it take to get to level 50? I'm not really a big multiplayer kind of gamer, but AC:B seems to be different and enjoyable.
 
Just picked this up from someone on Craiglist for $25, mint. What are your opinions of this game? Are there still many bugs for online play? Also, is the free DLC still available?
 
Free DLC is available and they have now patched it to where it works a lot better (haven't had match making problems or load out resets since patch 1.05).

As far as reaching level 50, it takes a fair amount of time. The game is very enjoyable and the MP is almost the antithesis of most games online modes. It is very different and very fun.

I still haven't touched the SP, so I can't comment. I had to beat AC II first (which I have sine done).
 
Arg...I cannot figure out how to play the daVinic disappearance dlc sp. It says initiating dlc when I start my game...but I don't know where to find it to be able to play it. I check the DNA screen and nothing, I have no idea where to find it, very frustrating. I must be blind.
 
If it's like the Copernicus DLC, you have to track down the mission-giver in game. See if there's a new icon for it on your map.
 
Is there any secret to getting items for the Shop Quests? I was able to unlock the big sword but am struggling to get items for the other quests. I especially want the upgraded quiver.

Assassin Missions you send your minions on will yield them sometimes. You can also get them from random ambushes.
 
For the shrunken heads, one is in a treasure chest in Rome, the other is in a treasure chest in a Lair of Romulus.

Treasure hunting will yield most of the items you'll need.

For the rest of it, like IceDrake says, the random attacks are good. The thieves that attack you (or whoever they are) tend to carry good stuff. The thief attacks are always at night, and always happen in the same area. So if you really want to loot them, just go past the same place you know you've been attacked before.

Once you load up your regular game it'll automatically do a cutscene thing where you're told they've been able to repair a broken memory block.

The icon they use for the DaVinci missions looks like a DNA strand with wings.
 
so I finished up the single player main story today, Only have the multiplayer trophies left. Anyone still need Role Models and want to boost it? I don't mind grinding to 50 and have most of Employee of the Month done.

i don't mind trophy boosting with u if u want. i'm left with all the MP trophies to get platinium
 
Azazael13 I can grind and boost with you. I could probably do a couple nights a week or a weekend, so what days work and maybe get a group going.

I just started Crysis 2 which I love so far, and ME2 just got put on the back burner. So I'll see what I can do.
 
There's a few of us who are needing the Tripe Escapes/Greater Variety bonuses. Combatrhombus, St. Noir and I think opinion.iv all need it (could be wrong). Should set up a night to private match the stuff we dont have.
 
I don't have any of the multiplayer trophies either, but I figured it would take forever to hit lvl50, so i gave up.

What's the online community like now?

The community is still pretty strong imo.

As far as MP trophies Tuesday or Thursday next week work?
 
I'm good almost whenever. That could change and I will update everyone as to my status. LEvel 50 does take some time, but the game is fun and the community is still there (its better than ever really after patching it to good).
 
Yeah, my goal each time is to try and go up two levels. It's taking a while, and obviously longer and longer for each level.

I wouldn't mind trophy boosting, but I kinda wanted to get to Lvl. 50 first. Is there any way to track what you need for Employee of the Month?

No, which is a huge pain. The vast majority of them just come as you play and are pretty easy to keep up with. I wanted to get to level 50 before boosting too and I got most of them (I don't think you can gain XP in private matches, not sure though).
 
[quote name='Azazael13']The community is still pretty strong imo.

Those days will work for me, I'll be on 9:30ish pm EST after I get out of class. I wanted to wait to boost until after lvl50, but it's taking so long to level up now I just don't care anymore. I think I"m level 30 or so.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there is a specific notation on the private matches that says it doesn't count towards your XP.

Anyone make any observations as to what game mode they believe to yield the highest XP?
 
Your level of skill dictates that and I seem to be pretty consistent in all game modes (which is nice). Always near the top and no one game mode is the beast for leveling. So, you can mix it up and not "lose out." More fun that way too.
 
I haven't played much of the multiplayer, but I would be down to boost with y'all if you want. I need basically all of the multiplayer trophies; have everything else. Add me - PSN = ZackieChan

To answer your question from last night - i do need to boost this, I just don't really know much about the multiplayer trophies. I think some of them can be done in pairs, but don't some require a full lobby?
 
Role Model needs 4 people to boost minimum. I don't wanna boost my way to 50, just that one trophy, I just don't see that one happening on it's own.
 
You can't boost experience and levels, can you?

I think I just need to boost Role Models and EotM. That said, i don't think i have access to poison, so I might need to play a bit before I can do EotM.
 
Just want to take this moment to say ' fuck the war machine memories'. Tank and Flyer are all I have left for 100% sync. I don't think I would hate them so much if you could just restart part of the memory, and not the entire part.

/sigh

Didn't mind the flyer as much as the tank.

The Tank one pissed me off for a while because it took so long, and I always got hit on the very last part of it. I think it only took like 3 or 4 times, but it still annoyed me.
