samu3lk posted:I've never played the multiplayer at all! I will say, we're two sessions into recording this game and I am REALLY enjoying it. It's made me go back and replay rear end Creed 2. Also I totally agree, the stuff outside of the VR simulation seems super boring and pointless. Unless they circle around and make a game that takes place in modern times, I have no idea what purpose that serves. The problem with modern times is that we have automatic weapons here, combined with the fact that being able to complete a mission while screwing up a stealth sequence seems to be the rule of the day, too many people complained about the fail-state trailing missions. (Feel free to skip over the spoilered text if you want, it flows the same whether or not you highlight it.) The overarching plot isn't terrible. The Templars pretty much control everything, and they are closing in on unlocking the secrets of the First Civilization, which created modern humans as an easily controllable slave race. All the Pieces of Eden are basically sudo user backdoors, and the Templars have a LOT of them. The First Civilization also achieved the technological singularity as the Earth was hit by some gnarly solar flares that wiped most of them out anyway. There are a couple of AI/Singularity-transcendent survivors, and one dude who manifests in the current guy who has the most First Civilization DNA at the time. The Templars know all this, are winning, and the Assassins are doing their best to slow them down. The Templars were on the winning side of the Industrial Revolution, so they have sort of consolidated and kept their power from then. It's me, I'm the nerd who pays attention to weird game stories.

The problem with the modern times stuff is I'm not running around a crowded city on rooftops bothering people and throwing money at them and stabbing them through the eye socket. I went back to finish Assassin's Creed 2 and I am having an absolute blast with it. Ezio's story is simple, but thrilling. Desmond's is boring and dumb. Speaking of boring and dumb, here's a link to another one of my videos.  Let's Play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood! - Part 2: "One Single Tampon" This is a risque Let's Play. We're going to talk some tactics. We kill the men, the women and, I'm ashamed to admit, the children. This horse wants nothing to do with us. We're having some technical difficulties in this episode and the video kinda hitches around, but it's fixed by Episode 4. Bye, bitch.

Hey everybody. Let's Play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood! - Part 3: "Eight Crazy Nights" Sorry we're still suffering a lot of dropped frames. It's fixed next episode. We do have fun in these videos though, right? Let's check out these ladder animations. Were they French? Like, from France?? How is Benicio del Toro in Italy?? Good God.

To explain the finger thing - in Altair's time the finger cutting was necessary to use the hidden blade, as a show of devotion to the cause you were literally sacrificing a few grams of flesh to the assassins. However, when the blade was repaired by Leonardo DaVinci in the second game he modified it to no longer need the sacrifice, so since then all assassins have been whole.

There's an initiation scene towards the end of AC2 where Ezio gets that ring finger branded and it's supposed to symbolize the old finger-cutting practice. One NPC even says "we use to cut fingers off for this thing but we know that's dumb now".

I skipped this game in the thread, so I would like to inform you that I threw a royal bitch fit at the loving stupid rear end in a top hat Leonardo DiVinci hang glider suck rear end tour of loving bullshit Venice mission that friggin sucks and I hate it. I will say that I am enjoying these two games a LOT more than I thought I would, so it's almost a good thing I have like all of them.

You mentioned it in the last game but those "Requiescat in Pace" shots in Matrix-land are a holdover from earlier games in the series, but one that was scaled down more and more over time. In the first game your target would tell you his whole life story after you killed him, while in 2 the target and Ezio would exchange a couple philosophical one-liners or quips. I liked them in 2, especially the one for the final target.

That Tomb-Raider-y bit reminded me of one thing that always annoys me about Tomb Raider, which is almost getting to the next checkpoint and falling and having to climb back up. Games like this should have a rewind function where you can just go "Whoops, fell down. Undo."

Gobble Gobble Merry Christmas Let's Play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood! - Part 6: "Belly Button to Gizzard" Fun fact at 7 seconds in, you can hear my phone vibrate! I got a text message from a friend!! WOW! It's probably been two episodes since I sang a song, so I sing this one a couple times. I swear to god, $900 is a lot for some tomatoes. We discuss pizza, Pokémon, and Eric reveals his secret identity. We round out the episode this time with some recipes and some gendered slurs. Look, this is all satire. Makes ya think. With that behind us, let's whip this house of sin into shape!

For future reference if you get lost telling shops apart: Some are obvious, like the Art Merchant is just Merchante del Artes, but the Blacksmith and Tailor are trickier - the Blacksmith's sign says Fabbro, so if you are trying to find one that's what to look for. Fabbro=Fabricate, to make. They fabricate weapons. The Tailor's name is Sarto - Sarto is italian for "To Cut" used to describe cutting one's flesh ie tattooing but also cutting fabrics to make clothing.

Eric is more of a baritone. He's got that deep, beautiful, throaty voice. At least give the dude a reasonable challenge. Also I figured out the mysterious Italian Code of the Merchants when the minimap marks every shop with a GIANT HAMMER, a PAINTBRUSH, and a SPOOL OF THREAD. Not much left to mystery there, even for people like me who can't read.

Good news everybody. My constant cohost and hated enemy Eric just expanded the Let's Play.  It's a Christmas Miracle!! Also let's get down to some spooky poo poo in a stream a few days ago:  Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour - "God drat It" I think I've mentioned before that I'm kind of a jumpy guy. I love horror games. I'm really looking forward to this one. Watch as I get progressively more upset at this game and the scary things that occur! Marvel as I completely arse everything up from the game itself to basic streaming and recording skills! Thrill at the fuzzy chat window in the corner where my friends all make fun of me! I do streams periodically. Either playing video games or I stream movies where we all hang out and watch stuff together. You can follow me ON TWITTER if you want to see when those things happen.

From my very limited experience with horses, they basically have to be bullied into doing what you want. Like, dogs are just cooperative by nature and will do what you want because they like you. Horses like you and don't really mind doing what you want them to, but you still have to kind of argue them into it. They'll do it, but only if they think they can't get away with not doing it. Basically they're lazy. Also, "Look, I'm supposed to be here. *stab*" is hilarious.

The game does have stealth and attack modes, it just calls them "Low Profile" and "High Profile" which I think you switch between with one of the triggers. It does change your moveset some (push vs tackle, walk vs run) so you can't, say, run stealthily. It's not perfect but I think it's a holdover from what the series originally was, before you were able to just counter-kill everything to death and had to actually plan out your hits. I'd definitely finish it though, as an ~open world game~ I think this one is better than 2. I might go back and play it again after seeing you mess around with it for a bit.
