I did go to delete it but a mod got to it seconds before I did (or so it seems).

But wow that dude needs to go back to school and learn to be a decent citizen or something because that sucks.

Assassins Creed glitch. I killed a target with poison but it didn't register that he died and the target icon was floating over a corpse so I had to desynchronize myself.snowman6251

One of my favorite things to do is kill a guard from a really high spot and watch him fall all the way to the ground, then watch the people gather then run. They never bother to look up.

Did ACII and brotherhood get rid of the monotony that killed the first game for me? The really repetitive side missions, etc

I need to hang up some Christmas lights. I should have last week when the weather was warmer here. Now it's in the mid-20's and snowy. Whoops.

The newest awesome addition is that some viewpoints are occupied by the enemy, so you have to infiltrate their zone, kill the captain, then climb the tower and light it on fire.

There's also stat-based objectives that you can do for a higher guild status, like kill ten guards from horseback, hide five bodies in a haystack, etc. There's a TON to do in this game, and the good thing is that it's all optional. I do most of it because I love AC so much (even the first one with its repetitiveness), but you don't have to if you don't want to.

1. Internet went down for like 3 hours. For some reason, you can't play Indie games on Xbox when that's so.

2. Major in Reach!

3.

did you beat it yet? if so, can you go back and do the side stuff you didnt already do?? tho i admit that most of it is done already. but i havent touched the guild objectives yet.starwarsjunky

I've purchased all the available shops, there are three Borgia towers left, and I've found five parts of The Truth. I'm not really doing any of the guild objectives intentionally because it seems like most of them will be accomplished naturally. I've also been doing some of the virtual training.

[QUOTE="starwarsjunky"][QUOTE="JordanElek"] No, not even close. I've played for probably around 20 hours, and I just finished the mission that introduces Leonardo's war machines, though I haven't destroyed any yet. I get the sense that I'm still not very far into the game.

Hmm I may pick this one up after a price drop, the first two dropped really quick, might get all three and play through the series :D

I can't find the truth things. I had no trouble finding them in ACII but I can't find them for my life in ACB. I've managed to find the one on the pantheon and that's it. I ran around the colusseum FOREVER looking for the damn thing and could not find it. I'm probably going to ignore them til I beat the game then go find them because they're too well hidden this time around.snowman6251

What's up my Nintendo gamers?

AC Brotherhood is surprisingly current in its references. A couple that stand out are references to BP and to the Citizens United case. There's also the most random reference to the US health care reform bill ever.... In one of the landmark descriptions, it describes how a small area near Rome had a wall built around it AFTER it was attacked... and then it says that the situation bears a striking resemblance to the US health care bill. :?

The health care bill? That seems like it would be a more appropriate reference to TSA regulations.

Yeah, its especially noticable when running around Santa Destroy, it was hurting my eyes with how blurry it was, the component cables cleared it up a LOT. The jaggies are more noticable, but it looks infinitely better than the blurry mess it was. The text and menus are also noticeably sharper.

Here are some comparison shots I took (Sorry for offscreen, tried to get them as matching as possible)

It's REALLY noticeable in motion, especially during combat and riding around on the bike

I can't believe Final Fantasy XIII was the only game to go platinum in Japan this year. I feel like games sell 1 million copies every week here (exaggeration but still...). Must have been a slow year in the land of the rising sun.

I find FFXIII very confusing; it's received rave reviews yet everyone I meet seems not to have enjoyed it.
