General Discussion - Requiescat in Pace... Bastardo - Page 6

Just spent a week away SCUBA diving. Exhausting but epic! =D

quote Stitch

Playing Assassin's Creed 2, and boy do I hate it when I beat people up, and they are rolling around in pain on the ground, and I search their pockets, only to hear people around me shouting: "Leave the dead be!" "You rob the dead, you shit?!" "The dead can't fight back, can't they, Coward?!"

First off, I beated them up first after they wanted to attack me with 3 to 1, and then steal their money, so no, I'm not a coward, infact, they are if they have to fight me with a group of them, second, they are still moving and breathing, how dear YOU to come to the conclusion that they are dead?

Seriously!!!?

Yeah, I've been pickpocketing for 5 hours or so yesterday and had a sum of 60.000 Florins built up with pickpocketing, Rebuilding the mansion and the town will be done in a jiffy the first time I get the chance to rebuilt it.
Well, I keep pickpocketing occasionally, and searching corpses for money throughout missions, until I can rebuilt, and hopefully have enough to rebuilt everyhting in one go.

But then you sure get to some occasions where you run into Viery's men, and then after beating them up, and stealing their money, you get a bunch of dumbasses standing next to you shouting as if they are dead.

Hell, at one point I was somehow able to kill one with the hidden blade, but i didn't even had the blade, nor the Assassin's attire.

I was punching 2 up, and one wanted to run, and I wanted to run after him and hit him, but for some reason he did a killing move with the hidden blade, without the hidden blade.
Glitches can be funny sometimes.

Pickpocketing in the Villa is the best choice cause it won't increase any sorts of notoriety. However, you need to upgrade some buildings to increase the amount of crowd walking the streets.

and lol I find it funny when they are doing that XD ACR has the worst peds imo, very annoying, especially those women. Their dialogues make me say something racist and kill them right after that Freakin' hos.

That hidden blade glitch has happened to me alot! That's quite funny when our recruits don't have a hidden blade and still they trigger a hidden blade animation. In ACII, when you go to a tower to see someone special, you are not an assassin, still I was able to kill a guard from behind with a hidden blade animation.

That was strange xD

I bet it wasn't worth the week away from PS3

Same opinion.

Well, pickpocketing people the moment you can play Ezio in Florence is better then waiting until you're at the Villa, because you wont get a notority when you're as Ezio without his Assassin's Attire.

By the time I reach the Villa for the first time, I already saved up to 60.000 Florins by pickpocketing, finding treasure chest etc, didn't do any main missions, unless I wanted a save at one point after doing a lot of pickpocketing.

By the time I did some missions, and returned to the villa, and could finally restore the town and villa, I saved up to nearly 90.000.

When I spended on everything on the list, I had restored them all in one go, and I only had 4500 over from all that.

Good to know, if you want to restore everyhting in one go, save up to 90.000 Florins.

quote DarshD

That is a lot but still it's much much less than what ACr required us to buy those damned books lol

What was the point in buying books, anyway?
I've bought them all, but it didn't seem to make any difference in whatever purpose they might were suppose to be having.

Oh, have you watched my unboxing videos?

Once one of them.
I also told you about that constand honking in the background you've kept hearing on the video.

Which reminds me, didn't you mention you were from India?

I recently been watching Ice Road Truckers: Deadliest Roads on the History channel, in which some of the roads are in India.

Man, no wonder I keep hearing all that honking in the video.

Man, they drive like idiots.

They honk when they have to stop or slow down.
Especially on narrow roads near tall cliffs on the mountains that are so small, the truck is barely big enough to drive that road alone, and cars either drive up from behind the truck, and start honking like an idiot because the truck driver is driving too slow for him, while it's safer to drive carefully, with a large heavy truck on a narrow cliff road, yet the people in those cars somehow lack the safety concern, and just want to drive past him or honk the hell out of that horn, thinking it would help.

I guess the brake is rarely used in those cars.

Not to mention the streets alone, crowded, chaotic, and damn noisy with all the honking.

How do people even manage to survive the streets by mere walking there?
I would probably get run over the second I step my foot on the streets.

And even the trains, they hang on the sides or sit on the roof.

It's like Safety concerns don't exist.

It surprises me that with all that chaos, lack of safety, accidents don't seem to happen every second.

How do you survive that, anyway?
It's like you have to be some ninja with spidersences manouvering through the traffic.

And hey, what are your thoughts on ACIII?

It sure seems like an interesting setting, The American Revolution.
In which George Washington is one of the people you will meet in the game, Kinda like Leonardo Da Vinci interesting. =D

Plus, a forrest and wilderness setting, a war setting.
It's somehting else for a chance then cities.

It also seems like swords are less, and guns are more.
Which means it might be tougher this time, but you probably have to manouvre your way to an enemy.

even though, a gun is a powerfull weapon, but they might be vunerable when they have to reload their gun, because you have to putt the pelet in and gunpowder and all that, so by the time they can shoot again, you might already move towards him in free-running speed, and stab the fool in the neck.

lol, well, that's one theory how you might have to fight and survive the battle.

It's possible that they also have knifes attached to their guns, and could use it as a spear.

And animals will also be in the game I think, to hunt and possibly also for a bit of danger in the woods, kinda like Red Dead Redemption, I guess.

Well, I'm sure am interested in this game.

Stitch Every word you said was correct. The rules aren't that strict here. And while this may sound good to us, who play GTA, it could be really a pain to live in such area. People here, honk whenever they have to slow their vehicle down. Anyone can buy whatever they want if they got enough money for it. So, many people buy race bikes and honk horns that are almost as loud as an aeroplane just to get attention of pedestrians.
People here, love to cross roads whenever they want, and many times, buses and truck kill some people unlucky enough to be in their way.
Govt. is also responsible for not creating bigger roads, stricter rules, better traffic control department and high focus on footpath usage. Footpaths here are use for keeping stuff by shopkeepers, parking bicycles or some put a stall there to sell something.

*sigh* Crossing roads does require you to be agile and you need to look everywhere to see if there are any vehicles coming. There is no guarantee that we'll be safe on roads though. Accidents could happen anytime!


Yup, the reloading sucks on any game that has guns but that's the challenge, we gotta strategize our shops and not spam it as if it's CoD xD
George Washington would be our Leonardo Da Vinci of ACIII! I wonder what kind of gadgets and missions he'll give us? Perhaps, there may be an expansion DLC as well? Like Da Vinci disappearance

ACIII unboxing of Steelbook - You can just pre-order the game at gamestop, best buy or Amazon and you will get the steel case unless they ran out.

Wow, that's amazing, who is getting that?

LOL, Whitefalcon , your dad told you right! The people here spam that button as if they're playing a PS3 game and it's a QTE xD

Well, I only said George Washington is as interesting as Leonardo Da Vinci, because of famouse people in history, not that he would be like Leonardo, inventing stuff and giving you gadgets, I don't think he's an inventor, more like a great leader, most likely why he became President of America.

Haha that's right He could give us gadgets from the US Army. Like if our hero is in need of a machine gun, Washington would give us a Tommy gun or something =D Not to mention, he'll provide us a support within the colonies, so that the Assassins would not be hated in the region. Something like, Ezio and Florence after a certain mission, in which Ezio saves a noble guy and his family from getting slaughtered by the Pazzi (Avoiding the spoiler)

My birthday is this Friday! I expect cake.

Unfortunately I'm also leaving on the day of my birthday for an Acting Festival I'm taking part in over the weekend. Looking forward to them both though, the play I'm in is fantastic so hopefully our group comes back with a few awards because of it. (:
