re: Official Assassin's Creed: Revalations Thread

Supposedly you can get this game for 40 bucks at Walmart, there's a thread on slickdeals about it.

Could throat chop someone right now.

Went and picked up my copy on the way home from work today. Did my system update (it's been a bit since I turned on the PS3). Put in the disk and the motherfricker won't play.

Headed back to Gamestop and hopefully a disk switched out will work. I'm able to play everything else from Blu-Ray movies to stuff like Little Big Planet 2/Red Dead Redemption/etc so I'm thinking it has to be the disk.

the opening was pretty bad arse and finding those keys wont be easy, i like it alot so far.

The bomb crafting is a cool addition to the game-sticky bombs the most fun, but so far I haven't really used any of them other than the one, nor do I see them being essential for missions unless the game actually makes you use them.


The den defense is stupid. Really hope they get rid of this for AC3.

Also, my code for PS3 bonus content doesn't work, so frick you ubisoft.

Good things about ACR-hook blade is useful sometimes, combat is still the same...I guess that's a good thing...countering and chaining attacks together, sticky bombs.


The bad-no wanted posters to lower your attention meter, renovating shops causes your attention meter to go up, den defense, doesn't seem as smooth as past ACs, nothing real special about the environment...in fact it's pretty boring so far. The Borgia tower thing is back...I fricked hated it in ACB and I hate it still in ACR. I don't give a shite about taking pointless towers. Make the story line longer/more coherent instead of filler like this damn it.

I guess I'm alone on the defense. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I'm loving the game thus far, but it is my favorite series of all time, so I might be a bit biased. I'm about to get my Vlad sword, so looking forward to that. I am more overwhelmed with this game than any of the others. There just seems like so much to do.

Desmond memories are strange as hell... Did my first one last night

Finished the game last night. I liked it but frick TOWER DEFENSE. It has no business being in the game and ended up being extremely annoying. The game's story was fragmented and a little weird at times, but that's to be expected when you jump between Ezio, Altair, and Desmond's memories so often. I didn't like it as much as Brotherhood and certainly not as much as AC2, but it was still a pretty good game.

Now... when does AC3 come out? :addicted:

Here's how I approach the tower defense.

Start out with a barrier or two. Then I put a leader on every rooftop (at least two at first if I don't have enough morale points...add more as soon as I can).

I then max out with riflemen. Loot as much as you can with the waves coming in. Keep adding as many riflemen as you can (morale should be increasing if you're looting) along the route. Upgrade the barriers as much as you can.

I don't know if there's a limit on number of cannons you can fire so I save them for the final big machine. You should have a dozen or more riflemen firing plus the cannon plus Ezio targeting with his gun. Seems to work well. The key is having as many riflemen as you can.
