The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

i just saw that there are exactly 2000 posts in the "Forum Games" catergory.

well. 2001 now

2002!

20- oh no wait, I'm not going to carry that on...

Been playing quite a bit of Brotherhood MP over the last few days; still as useless as ever but, hey, it's fun!

Useless is a good word to describe that game...

Hey, the multiplayer is pretty good for a first-of-its-kind.

Singleplayer is indeed useless.

Got bored of Wanted so have moved onto Manhunt. I've played a bit before but wasn't too good I'm loving it now though. It helps that a couple of my friends are playing too so we can message each other tactics and play together

Can't find a session at the moment though!

I love Manhunt. It's more fun when you're playing with others on a team. Less competitive and less likely to rage quit like in Wanted or Assassinate.

I played it once beofre for a bit and hated it. I was absolutely useless and dragged my team down/got left behind in terms of points

Now that I'm levelled up a bit more, and have better abilites and know-how, I'm really getting into it. Me and two other friends are going for Level 50 so we team up when we can and try to stick together when defending (40-50 points every 5 seconds just for standing there ). I find stunning a pursuer a lot more satisfying than assassinating a target!

i like to work alone

Working alone can be fun, EA17, if you do a good job and manage to own the game - it's great then. But sometimes I find working in a team is more fun (and easier) as everyone can work together to boost their own and each others scores.

There's nothing better than you and your 3 teammates hiding amongst a group of 4 personas, morphing them to look like you and waiting for your pursuers to approach the newly created group of 8 identical personas. It's easily possible to get two or three pursuers this way by luring them in, waiting for them to kill an NPC/teammate, and stunning and running. Either that or smoke bombing them as they approach.

Seeing a teammate die and being able to stun their killer straight after (a bit like a chain kill in Wanted) gives a fantastic sense of revenge too

ok heres a little story that explains why i hate manhunt...

so i was playing and i morphed a moving group and a team mate joined the blend and lured our persuder to me. and this happens like three times also i can't really play many matches because i disconnect out of the games more than i do in wanted matches.

Now that will make people rage quit. I almost did a few times because some players wait until your long lasting poison is a second from killing the unaware target before they start a chase and snap their neck for a 100 point kill for them and a 50 point Intercepted kill for me.

All I want is for others to realize that the poison icon above their heads means a win kill. If we're losing by 300 points, let it happen. They can't stun you once they're poisoned.

ima level 27 so when i get the poison ability i will remember this

Use this to your advantage. They can stun you if you both are walking towards each other and they mash the button as you hit your poison button. But as long as you poison them in time, their 200 point stun won't matter with your expertly executed poison kill.

You can get bonus points if your teammate chases them before you poison them, getting you closer to Greater & Extreme Variety.

I laughed so hard at this. I love being a Republican:

I love not...being in any party. X3

The top 10% of income earners make 48.5% of the money. So even if there was a "flat tax" rate as this video advocates (good for the rich, bad for the poor) the top 10% would still be paying nearly 50% of the taxes.

i got the poison abilty !!! its so fun to use

anyone else watchin the dbzkai marathon??

Haven't we been over this? DBZ Kai sucks.

ive grown to like it ..... hell i think anyone would like something if they sat there and watched a 24 hour marathon from start to finish. and besides if you want the original dbz next wensday the dbz movies are airing on nicktoons with the regular voice acting ect.

To be honest, if I watched a 24 hour marathon of anything I think I'd actually hate it, whatever it was

Then why don't you try to find exploits in AC? What you just described is how exploits are found in the games.

i've been gone the past 4 days, did i miss anything good?

Even though I really like the exploits and stuff, it isn't really my thing. For me, it takes too much time to properly find an exploit (I tried for like 3 hours on Garnier) and then record it. I could've solved a Project Euler problem in that time, and I actually benefit in a tangible way from that: more mathematical insight, which is pretty much going to be my profession. I still like playing around and have found some stuff, but nothing usable. For instance, did you know you can get up the hedges in Belrigardo (DaVinci DLC, mission with Lucrezia)? Aside from getting stuck in a walled-off area, I haven't found anything useful to do with it.

Exploits really haven't been my thing either. The only two I think I ever discovered were both in AC2. An early assassination of Dante as well as a way to reanimate Carlo Grimaldi in his E3 Demo animation.

I tried finding exploits and did assassination packs with the release of AC:B. I was pretty successful, but I was trying to hard to impress you peoples here at thb I had watched Ian's vids for a year and I wanted some of my own

I can never really be bothered to find exploits as I don't have anything to record them with, I just like finding stylish ways of doing everything

when i see the word Republican, i think of O'Reilly, Fox news propaganda and the Tea Party.
you're not one of those, right?

I hate anyone who praises their party with propaganda like the people listed above. Regardless if they're Republican or Democrat. As long as you're ok with others thinking their own way, I'm ok with you. That being said, I have no respect for people such as Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, or the Tea Party. Most of the extremists of these groups tend to be extreme in the religious sense, as well. Not saying religion is bad, but people always seem to twist it to their liking and exploit it in disrespectful ways.

I really tried hard to think of crazy Democrats like those examples, but none come to mind at the moment. I'm not saying Republicans are the only group that has them. Just saying.

Of course people are free to believe whatever they wish, and I'm not a wild supporter of republicans, but I believe this party has a better grasp of politics than the democrats.

Granted, Bush didn't exactly leave it in good hands, but look at the job the democratic president has done now.

And all political posts end here. No need for a flame war. My father always told me the two things you never discuss with people are religion and politics, because everyone has a different opinion.

As I grew older, I found that this rule also applied to Xbox 360 vs. PS3.

Xbox 360 vs. PS3 is simple. Play the one your friends play. The end.

Lessons from the beginning of LA Noire. Still true.

Kids, savor your time in college...

So yeah I've been a little bit inactive in the past days, been writing a play for school and birthday was yesterday. And when I come back there are just so many replies and another troll... It's hard to getting harder to keep up with this forum.

Happy birthday, James!

That's all I'm going to say so you can keep up!

So I was looking at the users online just now and when I saw the name Zero-ELEC I just had to listen to Electric Avenue on youtube!

Haha I love that song so much

My parents and brother made the journey over to Savannah last night to be at the prison for the final hours of Troy Davis' life.

With the exception of the Buck v. Bell case back during the late 1920's, this may be one of the most absurd, ludicrous, idiotic things the United States legal system has ever done. The backlash from the lack of action by the Supreme Court will be absolutely massive. I just wish more people would have found out about this case sooner and done something.

I'm not opposed to the death penalty, but what I am opposed to is throwing a man in prison when the only evidence provided is a group of biased witnesses, two of which retracted their previous statements and declared Davis innocent. How the hell do you screw up this badly?

RIP Troy. Understand that while there are tragedies, there are also miracles, and this event won't go away quietly.

if i had the power, i would have commuted the execution. that said...

one of the reasons i came down so hard on outoftym was that i felt that he was trying to manipulate others.
http://www.thehiddenblade.com/possible-recording-device
instead of having an honest debate about facts (whether the vendor was being transparent about their product), outoftym focused on creating as much doubt as possible regarding the "guilt" of newelectronx. he went on several tangents (resellerratings, banning of jeff-dsa, "proof" for everything), when all the relevant facts were readily available. he was just trying to set up smoke and mirrors... just trying to create enough distraction so that real arguments would be harder to find... just trying to create enough doubt so that someone else can fall into his trap.

i see a lot of parallels between outoftym and davis supporters. the case, when studied in detail, just isnt as clear as the media makes it out to be. i encourage you to study the other side to this case. if you do, you may find yourself with the same feeling that i had with outoftym. you're fighting through layers of distractions only to find that real evidence is still there and ignored by the distractors. (for example, if facts A, B, and C all independently support his guilt, does it matter if you eliminate A? one could create a lot of doubt about A, but it does not really impact the certainty of guilt.) this is the reason why the courts continue to rule in favor of the execution despite widespread public opposition.

im not trying to convince anyone that troy davis was guilty. im just saying that his supporters arent trying to have an honest, transparent debate about facts. they are being very manipulative, and its working out well for them. for me, it leaves a bad taste behind.

True as that may be Ian, you can't kill a man because it seems like he was guilty! Fair enough, he was found guilty in a court of law but when doubts were raised the execution should immediately have been put on hold and further investigation carried out.

can someone fill me in on this Troy thing?
i've only heard small bits and pieces

thats exactly what happened.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/troy-davis-guilty...

do you feel maniuplated yet? as i said, i encourage you to research the other side. and keep in mind that im am not a proponent of his execution.

rob, you can just google "troy davis" to get an idea of whats going on.

But what if fact A actually supports his innocence, and isn't just eliminated from the equation? Now you have evidence weighing in on both sides. There's no definite image about what happened here, and because of this I don't think you can throw him in jail. And I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon here, I grew up in Georgia. This case has always left a bitter taste in my family's mouth as well as my own. Something isn't right here. In American Football (yes, I'm making this comparison, bear with me), plays are never reversed by officials unless the video evidence is clear towards changing the call. The Troy Davis case is an extremely unclear one, but unless you have definitive and conclusive evidence, I don't think you can fairly give a ruling, let alone the death penalty.

Let me retract my previous statement, the other day I was just angry because of the execution. The thing I am mad about here is the fact that a ruling was made with no conclusive evidence. He shouldn't have been in jail to begin with. That's the real tragedy here. I still believe lethal injection should be used as an option for the fate of criminals, but it certainly doesn't apply in this case whatsoever.

I'm worried I'm coming off as sort of hypocritical, but do you understand what I'm talking about?

what new evidence supports his innocence? did you get a chance to read this article?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/troy-davis-guilty...

what about this one?
http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/judge-rejects-troy-davis-598327.html

dont stop there. keep looking on your own. try to look past the smoke and mirrors.

DarkAlphabetZoup has returned.
Only 2 months and then some remain until the release of Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

to be honest im not worried about being at game stop the day the game comes out because my birthday is two days after

im one lucky son of a b*cth

My birthday's on Monday, so ha.

!!!!! happy birthday to you

Whether he's guilty or not, I'm against the death penalty anyway, based on both my religion (some would say indoctrination) and my own developed beliefs. By this site isn't really the place to discuss that.
