Assassin's Creed - Gen. Discussion & Info

I screwed up on a mission ... not going to mention which one for spoiler reasons. Anyways I went to assasinate the main target in one mission and it wouldn't let me jump down on him like I could have :( All in all I took a hit and before I realized it I lunged at him and killed my target.

What I'm trying to get at is I'm going for the full DNA bar achievement. Can I go back and kill the target and still get this achievenment?

It might be bugged.. I was not at full DNA a few times, and I still got the achievement.

This games achievements are a bit whack, 2 of them didn't work until I tried a shitload of times (Blade in the Crowd and Eagle Dive).

Then the DNA one works when I totally didn't plan it. YMMV.
 
[quote name='whoknows']So what should I do if I can't find any investigations to do and I've been walking around and searching for awhile now?[/quote]

You have to go find lookout spots on your own now. Just look for tall buildings with eagles on top, go up, synchronize and icons will begin to pop up again. There will only be 1 or 2 icons popping up per synch now though.
 
I've done every viewpoint but nothing came up. I just found a pickpocket mission by accident, there was no mark on the map at all.

Thank you ... good to know and hope it happens :D

Make sure you're in the new district. Each city has 3 districts (one for each assassination) which will be unlocked as you progress. You may have done all the viewpoints in one district but not have moved on to the others.

I see now, I figured I couldn't go to the other parts because they were all blurred out. :p

Your DNA bar is not your health bar. The Synchronization bar is your health bar. The DNA bar achievement pertains to completing every mission before going to assassinating the target.

Oh awesome, I was worried I was going to have to go through the game again to get that. So far so good on that one.
 
[quote name='Calamityuponthee']Hopefully some DLC comes along, with more assassinations and content.[/quote]
Slim to none chance for DLC like that. How would another assassination tie into the game?

Im wondering when you unlock the other memories (for getting flags and that crap) if the memories are other assassinations though.

I told myself originally that I wouldnt jump back into it after finishing the game, but Im back into it. I kinda like not having to deal with story stuff now and just mauling people and finding crap :lol:

I just wish they'd have done other skill levels, the one is fairly easy I found.
 
[quote name='zewone']That 50 combo kills one is glitched or I'm unsure of what constitutes a combo.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's a bit glitched but try this.

Hit X, then when you hit or he blocks hit X again. You have to time it almost perfectly. It will do a kill animation like he does in a counter situation.

Yeah, this gave me some trouble at first. I thought I had more than enough combo kills to get the achievement, but I didn't have it yet. So I went to the training guy and fooled around until I got an animation kill sequence and was like "Oh, so that's a combo kill, no wonder why I don't have it yet."

[quote name='Calamityuponthee']The flag and templar achievements will never be done by me. I'd have to look at a strategy guide to even think about doing it.[/quote]

After I complete the game I'm gonna try to find these. It will be a great way to add some more playtime to the game and also just have some fun in the cities while I hunt.
 
I'm probably not going to bother with the Templar or Kingdom flag achievements. I really hate the Kingdom section of the game.
 
Anyone know what's up with the Eagle's Prey(Assassinate 100 Guards) achievement? Is it only for knifing them up close and personal? If so, is every enemy considered a guard and can you do it in plain sight without necessarily getting caught like you can with the Informer side missions? Looks like that's the last legit achievement I need, would've gotten it if covert throwing knife assassinations counted.

Thanks.

Gotta be assassinations. Hidden blade.
 
Just picked up the game after much debate with myself. For those who have given it some play time, will I be frustrated with the controls immediately or is the learning curve less steep than I've been led to believe?

I picked it up today and was very pleasantly surprised with them. I don't find the controls frustrating at all.

The controls rule, this game is sick!
 
I liked this game at first but now I just dont know. The twist even though I saw it coming when I started the game up just made it suck. Now thinks to bestbuy.com saying it was on backorder after i ordered my copy and me geting it in store I will have two seeing how they shipped mine out a few days ago. So does anyone know if you can return games ordered online to a best buy store?

The controls are probably the best part of the architechture of the game itself, they're very intuitive. It's a bit weird for the first hour but I find it to be a very natural control scheme.

Yes you can.

I got the Blade in the Crowd achievement last night on my 4th assassination:

The big fat guy in Damascus. I snuck around the top level stealth killing all of his archers, then quickly jumped over to his platform, and snuck up behind him and stabbed him without ever being noticed. It was well worth the 30 points, very satisfying.
 
I agree that this game is the shit. Altair is such a good assassin that he even killed my 360!

Now to try and avoid Mass Effect spoilers for a month, this should be fun...

I feel your pain. I'm in the exact same boat, except CoD4 did the damage and AC just unplugged the life support.


@tyson, it really is one of those "as long as you make it" type games. If you rush through it's probably 6-8 hours, but if you enjoy the gameplay and just like screwing around and doing all the missions there's easily 20 hours in it.
 
[quote name='yummytyson']so roughly how long is this game?[/quote]
It depends on how you play it. I've had it for a week now and I'm only on the third assassination. I spend a lot of time looking for Templars and flags, and sometimes I just like to turn on the console and run across the buildings exploring places.

I even spent an hour throwing civilians off of cliffs...
 
[quote name='yummytyson']so roughly how long is this game?[/QUOTE]Took me 18/19 hours to go through the game and get nearly everything(all side-missions) and every legit achievement except for the collectibles(flags/templars).
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']Just beat the game. LOVED IT!

To those that are skeptical about it. DONT listen to the shaqfuing shaq shaqfuing fuingshaqs of Reviewers. Just get this game, go in it with an open mind and follow the story and DONT rush it. I could tell how HORRIBLE the game is if you rush it, I was trying to rush at the end and it was so unfun and frusturating... So just relax and play it, and if you get anxious just take a break.

GOTY.

Although I hated the last 3 kills of the "REAL" 9 investigation parts. I WAS SO fuckING PISSED. Because there was like 50 times more guards and they all caught you if you pumped into ANYONE... it was so frusturating doing the investigation missions. So I just plowed through it and only did the minimal stuff. Im gonna go back for the achievements.

I didn't get the Lucy Talking achievement... what gives?! And can pleaseeee someone tell me how to do the Jump From a Roof Top Assassination kill? I've seen it in videos, and I know you can do it... but I think I only did it once accidently to a peasant lol. Is it hard to pull off?


ALSO, OMG THE FINAL BOSS WAS SO EASY! HAHAHA! Anyone know the cheap tactic? Hidden Blade FTW.. LOL! I killed the final boss in ONE hit. They need to fix that... Hidden Blade is way way to powerful.

Buildings found submerged around Yonaguni predate any other known buildings in the world, so expect any Japanese ancestor tales to take place before Assassin's Creed 1.

Omg omg omg! Ninja Creed!? Oh please!!! =D =D

The story...was...fantastic.... I was a little confused but that interview helped me get some stuff. Omg, best story ever.... I love it... love it... 1up can suck a monkey dick for giving it a 7. A game with THIS amazing visuals, animation and STORY deserves no less than a 8.5-9.

I give the entire game a:
9.5

Get off it's nuts.

The story was predictable and the ending was as bad as Half Life 2's.

Any guides up or videos that show the flag locations yet? I tried looking about a week ago and could not find any.

hehe, you have Yaris achievements.
 
And your point? The game was free and I was sick of Halo. Hate to say it but I'm getin sick of Assassin's Creed and I'm not even half way through the game.

Thank you kind sir, i just got through with my 3rd assassination, got the throwing knives, decided to throw them at guards, and ran out in less than 5 minutes. :lol:
 
Am I the only one who is getting unreadable disc errors with this game? I've gotten 3 total, and I haven't even had the game for a week. The first 2 I got were when I was entering the 2nd city. Restarted the game both times and got the error each time. Played the game a day later, and entered the city without any problems. And then last night, I'm hopping over some buildings and I get it again. I've touched the disc once, and that was to move it from the case to the 360. Totally annoying problem that I've had with no other game on my 360.

I never had any problems with my system, but after playing AC for about 5 hours I got the RRoD :(

Greaaaat. I'm on my second 360, and this happened once before with Dead Rising. However, it still took about 7 months after I played Dead Rising to get the red rings.
 
Am I the only one who thought this game was 5/10 average at best? The gameplay for me is just not fun. Every place you go you have 6 missions to do before you face the "boss". The 6 Missions are the same thing for each and every city. It feels like a choir to play each part of the city.

Actually you just need to do 2 (3 later on) of those to unlock the assassination target. The rest are filler.

I'm guessing you didn't wait till after the credits.

Sure but does anything change? Do the Bosses change up at all? Basically the game in a nut shell is this:

Take to Leader dude

Ride Horse to a City

Do 2 Objectives

Kill Main Boss Game in that part of city

Return to Leader Dude

Repeat 9 times.
