Hot Heart Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 There may be some spoilers here. Although, nothing you shouldn't already know. It does explain some of the background a bit. Reveal hidden contents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Started playing the Da Vinci Disappearance add-on that came with my copy and it's been quite fun. One section felt fairly linear but was quite satisfying. Sort of like Uncharted. Edited October 27, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I went to Best Buy today to cancel my pre-order there so I could switch to GameStop's. You have to admit, what they're offering is a megaton compared to Best Buy's one multiplayer character. The problem was if I were to cancel the pre-order, I would have to pay full price for Assassin's Creed II as I got it through the pre-order discount. Note: If you pre-order for a discount, you can't fool the system (man)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 When in doubt, just buy the regular version. Hell, just buy the regular version all the time. Mo money, mo games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Or just wait a year for the GOTY edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 That, too. But not every game gets a GOTY edition. See Brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 http://pressxordie.com/2011/12/08/review-assassins-creed-revelations-singleplayer/ Ethan reviewed it for PXOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 does that review have any spoilers? I still haven't played Brotherhood yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes and no. I talk about Desmond's situation at the start of this game, which necessarily implies something about the ending of the previous game, but I don't directly explain any plot points from earlier games.

Strangelove Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 All the stuff I've read about it upset me deeply, but over time I've become a hardcore assassins creed fan, so I'm eventually going to have to play this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yeah it doesn't seem to be worth a full purchase, but it's definitely on my rental queue. Which I notice I've become a bit too attached to of late, but I guess all good. Still game n save cash at same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Never thought I'd actually say this about an Assassin's Creed game, but can someone just tell me what happens in Revelations. Don't have the money and definitely don't have the time to play it, and it also sounds like it has the smallest steps taken gameplaywise out of all the iterations so far. Someone just tell me the story development/ endgame so I can wait for ACIII. Whenever that shit's out. I'd rather read someones explanation on here than a Wikipedia synopsis or some shit.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Total spoilers for AC: Revelations Reveal hidden contents Desmond's trapped in a coma inside the animus at the start, somehow as a result of his freakout at the end of Brotherhood. He goes through a series of missions that Ezio undertook in 1511 to find the keys to Altair's library. Each key lets him relive a little of Altair's memory, from which he learns a Valuable Lesson that he should not completely turn his life over to the Assassins, once he's done his part he should take time for himself. Anyway, through Ezio's quest we discover that there's another Apple of Eden hidden beneath Masyaf. While this is happening from time to time you can play through levels that reveal some of Desmond's backstory: he grew up in a commune in the middle of nowhere, thought his parents were crazy, ran away when he was 16, basically lived like a normal person until the Templars grabbed him for the start of AC1 and he discovered his parents weren't crazy after all. This all results in Desmond coming to terms with the fact that he's an Assassin and accepting it, so presumably he won't be so reluctant in AC3. Also snippets of dialog reveal that Lucy died from her wounds, though that may or may not have been real. More snippets reveal that the team has come back to the US with Desmond. At the end Desmond wakes up from his Animus induced coma and says "I know what we have to do." I assume he's referring to getting the Apple from Masyaf, but I could be wrong. Roll credits. Edited December 9, 2011 by Deanb just to make it more obvious. Some of us click spoiler tabs regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Considering there's that CGI movie "Embers," we know of Ezio's fate. Haven't been able to play yet, and honestly, I probably won't be able to until January. I'm glad I payed $32 simply because I wouldn't have some $60 piece of plastic collecting dust whilst I try to finish up Skyward Sword before the 17th.

Waldorf and Statler Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I honestly tried it and could not garner enough interest for ezio as a character to continue playing as him. I want to play as Desmond now. Much more interesting character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks for the info, Ethan. That actually makes me want to play the game more, which is interesting, I want to see the details of the Desmondy stuff.

Much more interesting character. Sounds like Desmond and the IRL plot gets some actual development in here, which is a lot more than I was expecting. Sounds great.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Really it's more revealing Desmond's backstory than any forward progression in the plot. They could have made the same amount of forward progression with a 30 second vision at the beginning of AC3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I swear, with all the spin-offs, books, movies, apps, and online resources, there better be an Assassin's Creed III: Desmond Ends It All, For Real Guys. I really like Ezio, but I don't think in any since he deserved 2.5 games (Altair making up the other half of Revelations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Ahhh dammit I wrote out a huge post and then it got deleted. Damn you Firefox and/or IP Board. OK SO: I just beat Revelation's. I liked it! It was shorter than I expected, but after what is essentially the same game 3 years in a row, it might have been best for them to keep this one shorter. Though really, I know it isn't the best idea from a business standpoint, they might have been better off combining the plot elements/best parts from Brotherhood and Revelations and putting them into one game and released it sometime in between when the two were released (last June?). Ok time for real spoilers: Reveal hidden contents I like the closure Altair got, though I was half expecting the apple to bring him back to life so he could lay down some intense facts on Desmond and Ezio. I did like Ezio acknowledging Desmond, and Ezio even getting to see Desmond (maybe?). However, I wouldn't mind a bit more closure for Ezio. He seems to have given up his killin' ways, (it seems he wussed once he found a girl. wtf bro?!), which is nice but I almost wanted to see him die (which would have required either Sophia being pregnant and present or his kid being there), since we saw him from birth and were there for all the major moments of his life, it would have been fitting to see it go full circle. Also: that mysterious guy we kept listening to since the credits of Brotherhood, are we to believe that's Desmond's old man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
