Assassin's Creed II

[gandorf]

My friend beat the game before me and told me the ending of this one and I can't wait to finish it myself. I'm really enjoying the storyline, It could be a pretty decent movie if they did it right. The only problem is once I beat this I know its gonna suck waiting for assassin's creed III. I read it's either gonna be feudal Japan or WWII which could be pretty interesting.

Man I just started playing this, I haven't even become an assassin yet and this game already seems so much better than the first one. First one always seemed very crude and unpolished. This is so much more refined. We get backstory for Ezio and everything, this is great.

Codex Wall Question:

I'm pretty sure my wall was exactly like that and nothing happened. Do I need to press something once it's set? I had the Apple of Eden on the thing in front of it.

Thanks

So is Kristen Bell still in the game or?...

[Siralin]

Yeah she looks worse this time around.

I think you have to go to the podium or your uncle and press B once you've arranged all the codex pages

She looks like the chick from Silent Hill

[Siralin]

Never played it, but her mouth is huge like xbox in 2. I'm guessing they cut back on graphical quality for gameplay or something? I have no idea.

[Atreides]

It looks like they improved the character models but not the textures/rendering maybe, which makes things look awkward? I think the graphics are probably identical to Prince of Persia's, but without cel shading the imperfections look really evident.

btw has anyone played the PSP spinoff? I've heard mixed things about it, and I probably will never buy it but I'm wondering if they talk about more of the story

Has there been any actual announcement of a date for a PC release yet? Is kind of hard to fish through sites like IGN and such with the 360/PS3 release so recent.

Locations for feathers, answers to the harder riddles (I had to use it near the end would have spent hours figuring them out)

Very helpful guide!

having trouble with one of the assassin's tombs.. the Vistazione one.

Spoiler: show

(the tomb located in southern Venice, when you 1st start off falling in a bail of hay, and the guard walks up to it only to find a rat)
after I chase the running guard, he ends up shutting the big door and I have to find a way around.
I climb up the piece of wood propped on the wall, jump up, and jump behind me to land on a beam.
now the game gives me a side view, and it looks like I have to jump across to another beam, but it's too high up and I can't make it.
I don't know if anyone knows what I'm trying to explain, but it's getting rather annoying. I can't find any guide that talks about how to do it either.

also: theres only 2 more tombs I need. this one, and the one in that extremely heavily guarded area that I can't get into. I assumed I would be able to enter after I assassinated the guy in there after using the glider, but after the mission it was all sealed up again. how long till I'm able to do that one?

edit: I gave up on it for now. Ive got to be missing some sort of new skill... or missing something really obvious

[gaimear]

you can get to it. Jump from the building on the left of the basilica(looking from the main square) onto the balcony. you can climb up onto the roof after killing 2-3 guards and then go to the other side, drop down, enter.

tada~

climb up the plantish looking stuff by the hole in the wall, wood board is a red herring

wow... it was right next to the ladder... no idea how I missed that. I found that area even before the flying mission... I feel stupid on both of those accounts...

on the last of the 4 puzzles... starting to piss me off because I keep getting fucked over by the camera changing.

wood board leads to secret area with chest. need to jump climb from the board then wall jump to a swing pole.

red herring in terms of path to end of tomb
