Assassin's Creed

[izembo]

i find it easiest to never attack other than assassinations. i do all my killing by counterattacks.

[Borisan]

Damn, the corrupted merchant (first assassination mission in Damscus) was brutal with that knife.

Milks, hit X once... the SECOND your sword clashes with your enemy's hit x AGAIN... then again, and again, until the combo goes off.. you have to be quick, if you don't do it fast enough the combo fails.

It took me about 20 fights to get used to it, try practicing in the creed's courtyard if you're having trouble nailing it down... Izembo's right though, you can just hold the RT instead and wait for them to attack you.. The second they come at you with their sword, hit X and you'll counter them. BTW if you didn't know, you can also counter with the small katar (left on d-pad) and even with the small knife he pulls out of his missing finger (up on d-pad)... you have to be locked on (LT) for it to work though, but it's the same concept as countering with the sword.

How can we have a topic about this game without a picture of the producer lol.

I understand how to do it, and I can do it every time in the courtyard but when in an actual fight with 5+ guards...it never works, lol

[Exoduso]

It doesn't work 100% of the time... if it fails (the slashing takes long and it seems like altair slips away from his enemy's sword) just stop, block, and then try again.. You'll get it eventually , you actually trigger animations when you do it right (you can also do combo attacks with the katar too if you're that far into the game... left on the d-pad, it's the same weapon that he pulls when you throw daggers.)

Wow...

Though I do agree it was in bad taste.

I dunno, compared to 90% of the stuff on 4chan, it was downright clean. Quick, someone stick it on /v/ and see if we can get some lulz when Ubisoft goes after them!

[Priran]

it was in bad taste

I'm just curious as to where along the "we should use our hot producer as a form of advertisement for our game" train of thought the concept of Jade Raymond porn didn't come up.

Thinking that your target audience is so dumb that you can forgo actually advertising your product for softcore porn is in bad taste and insulting.


edit: it's also kind of funny because it's not really SomethingAwful's, it was drawn by Scribblekid, the guy who makes Chugworth Academy, and is readily available on his DeviantArt page.

Did Ubisoft actually put her in an ad or something? I just assumed we all saw her picture and decided we were more interested in that than we were in an unreleased game.

Every time they showed the game, it was 95% Jade, 5% game. ;O

Really? Oh well i guess the satire is valid.

It was very funny though. >.>

But I can see why Ubisoft/Jade didn't like it.

Her fault for being hot

Her fault for being hot

It's shit like this that is gonna keep other hawt game producers from peddling their wares. We all need to support her during this difficult time then giggle at that comic once it's saved to our HD's.

lol this is true. every single person on this board after their E3 demo was like 'holy shit, who was that hot bitch??' lol

[Kaylia]

I think the gaming media and forum are to be blammed more than ubisoft on this.

And I think the term blamed is too negative. Everyone wins in this situation: Ubisoft gets their game's name plastered all over a couple forums, we get a joke to laugh at, whatever artist it was probably got a couple more hits on his webcomic or his DevianTart page, Miss Jade gets... well ok, she doesn't benefit much. And she probably doesn't appreciate the humor or the publicity, but it could be worse! At least the artist drew her wearing something, right?

[Kaylia]

Wasn't really using it in a negative way, I could have said "players and media are the cause of this publicity" instead. Only stupid thing in all this is the C&D letter.

[Milks]

The only problem with the game I'm having so far is the fact that I'm limited in what I can climb. Sometimes there are some things that are clearly climbable when they are, in fact, not. Specifically the castle in Masyaf. There are ledges and everything, but I can't climb shit! Please tell me I'm just missing something.
