I believe I received the patched, although its hard to know because everything is done while my ps3 if off now.

I figure I have the patch because I don't have any trouble with the optioinal objectives, my issue is with just completing the mission. I can get past the first section no problem, but once aboard the ship, when you first go on the outside of the ship you run down the side and for some reason, I can't make the jump on to the one ledge (I think it's the 3rd, maybe 4th jump)

I've watched videos (before patch) and it said that the jump is missed sometimes, but I've missed it about 20 times in a row. Did I not get the patch? Or was this caused by the patch? Is there any kind of work around. I'm so close: I just want to finish the game.

A storyline about Achilles or maybe even the first assassin settler in America.

Each game underlies some historical conflict between control and freedom. I don't think it's proganda, the Revolution War is an historic event in Global history, just like the crusades and the Borgias. (I actually don't know about the Byzantines and Constantinople story-live from Revelations, but I'm guessing that was a real thing two. These games take place all over the world. I wouldn't be surprised if the next one took place in Germany (not sure if the game would feel the same with automatic weapons. The only other setting that comes to mind is the Civil War.

As per the topic, so far I might have to go with 3. Sure, Connor isn't as charming as Ezio, but I think the actual story telling is better overall. The backstory especially with the Homestead does a really good job of providing a backdrop to life outside the direct conflict. The side missions in the Ezio games did not do this as well. As for the main story, I haven't finished so I'll refrain from an opinion, but I am enjoying it so far. And Connor, I actually really like him. He's funny, even if unintentional. He's just this beefy Native American guy who goes around and simulatnenously casually helps people like its no biggie, but acts like a total a hole while he's doing it. 

As far as gameplay, its full of small tweaks that serve it well. I'm so glad they got rid of medicine. If I'm not fighting well, I should die. I shouldn't be able to use 11 medicines and still come out okay. The fighting is becoming more fluid, there is less (its still mostly there) of enemies standing by to hit you one at a time. Its feels more fluid to run through crowds. The addition of the wilderness sections were a nice addition, as were the ship sections. I also like the way they did the assassins in this game.  There aren't as many to keep track of, they are all unique characters with personalities, and now they can do things besides just kill people. Also its cool that there is actually a menu for that now instead having to visit a bird cage or whatever.

The game is glitchy, but hopefully that patch comes in handy.

My only real beefs with this game are related to menus. I can't seem to find a menu to look at the challenges you occassionally see appear on screen, things like: frontier challenge 1: Hunt a bear, stuff like that.

Second, I wish there was a way to equip weapons and clothes from a menu screen.  Its a pain in the ass to go to your hideout or a general store every time you want to change your load out. Its cool smacking people with a club, but I don't really want to carry it around for two hours or so because I haven't gotten around to going to the general store.

thanks

I'm at the point in the game where I'm supposed to go to New York, but there are a few things in Boston I still want to do before I move forward, but I can't figure out how to get back. Is there a way?

maybe the space bar was broke on the keyboard, so they was like oh well littlebigplanet it is. They may have also thought they'd be hip like fallout boy, and put the words together, therefore making the point of teh name meaningless.Mckenna1845

Even though I despise Fallout Boy....fallout is a real word, and the name of a nasty lookin game coming out in 6 days ^.^
