Does he have a blade in his shoe!? huh.png

 

I would much rather have an AC in the Revolutionary period than Egyptian, just my personal preference. And Ten i am very very jealous! I would love to go to Florence, simply based on the amazing architecture featured in AC 2! and would be amazing to visit Monteriggioni aswell! Lucky Bar-stuad! dry.pngtongue.png

Ten - You may want to wear these whilst there:

Are you going to follow up on my suggestion of visiting Monteriggioni ? Less than an hour away from Florence..

 

I think I am...see Villa Auditore....:P We're only going for three nights, in that time we're flying to Milan for half a day, train down to Firenza (Florence), then the next day in Firenza, following off to Pisa and then possibly visit Monteriggioni but it means getting a coach...have you seen the place? It's incredibly impressive, hill-locked in the middle of nowhere, gorgeous looking settlement.

Go here whilst wearing....

I've been to Florence and it's beautiful although I haven't been to Monteriggioni. I've also been to Venice and Rome (before the game came out) and it's really nice to run around the city noting the places that you've been to. I remember showing off the Assassins Creed 2 game to my Dad and one of the things that baffled him the most was that I was able to give him an accurate tour of Rome with Ezio through the game. The work that the devs have put in with locations is nothing short of amazing and I am really jelous of you J, I wish I could go Monteriggioni </3

 

...send us a video of you performing a Leap of Faith? ;)

I have as well...and i did the same thing with the game....is this like the Truman show!? Have you seen what i've done!? OMG.

 

To be honest I wanted to go to Florence wonce i'd visited Venice, wasn't massively impressed but always heard good things of Florence, it just so happened that AC2 was set in and around Italy, so maybe its why i love it that much.

 

Already done the leap of faith *cracks knuckles* "Hell Yeah"

Goddam'it stop f*ckin with my mind!!! Arrrgggghhhh....aha. Aren't you only a few years younger than me!? How is this possible....laugh.png

 

I'm 18. But that's only in Animus years...

 

See the film Wanted for this. Rubbish! But you see Jolie's arse

 

I watched that with my ex-girlfriend (obviously when I was still with her) and the only good part about that film was when Jolie got her arse out. The rest of it was total bullshit. I still to this day can't believe that my ma called her a 'minger'. It's the closest I've ever come to violece against my own family.

Thing with Angelina Jolie is, when you've seen her brother. It puts you off, because she looks like him.

 

I liked Venice too smile.png

 

See for me, Venice was a bit of a disappointment :( Great architecture but there was little or nothing to do? Masquerade shops and restauraunts...and not alot else lol It stunk as well!!

 

Looks nice in the sun but was left dissapointed...

 

Update: Flying to Bologna, travelling to Florence, visiting Pisa and if (IF) we have time...visiting Monteriggioni :)

I've just completed Memory 4 of Assassins Creed Brotherhood and I've come to the conclusion that the next game should heavily focus on Altair rather than Desmond. Not to give too much away but the 4th memory involves Altair gameplay and it's bloody brilliant, he's a really good assassin and I think we need to have some more hands-on time with him to see what he does with the creed once becoming Guild Master (after murdering Al Mualim in Assassins Creed).

 

 

The Memory 4 was a good one for Altair as the Assassins came so close to a Civil War (still hope they do because it'll be interesting to see how they cope) yet he managed to prove that killing his master was a good thing and we were shown again just how much power the Apple has. Ezio himself managed to snatch another key from the caverns meaning he learns more about what is going on and hopefully comes closes to defeating those pesky Templars. I liked the cavern mission as it didn't involve fighting, just quick-thinking and accurate climbing.

 

I'm liking this game though, it's taken a back-seat because of Skyrim and the likes but overall it's been yet another quality installment to the franchise.

Just finished Fallout: New Vegas and sided with;

 

 

Yes Man to create an independant Vegas

 

 

It was a really, really good RPG and a step up from Fallout 3. I'm thinking of buying the Ultimate Edition when it comes out and re-playing it all over. I didn't put as much love and care into it as I have done with Skyrim, so I'd like to go back and try and achieve 100% completion - has anyone on here been through the Fallout series?

That was a bug bear of mine too Marco!

 

I enjoyed it a lot more than 3 though and I think that was because of all the different factions and areas that I could explore as oppposed to 3 (I just didn't seem to get hooked as quickly). I'll be getting the Ultimate Edition though because I want to start-over and complete all the DLC, on my original play-through I had 100 in Speech which meant I could get people to do whatever I wanted and the maximum luck (I think it was 7?) which meant that I won so much money in each of the casinos that I was kicked out and banned. It sure was a load o' fun, I love Bethesda.

 

Also;

 

Anyone getting a PSVita?

I'd like it because it can play HD games such as Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet and along with that I can have the likes of FIFA and F1 on a handheld but the price is what's putting me off. It's £230 for the cheapest model and that's before you've bought the memory card for an extra £40. I'm thinking of just waiting till it comes down in price or wait for some really, really epic games to come out for it.

 

For example; Assassins Creed Vita and BioShock Vita (which has been confirmed).

I've spent literally all day playing Skyrim. I started out wrapping up the Thieves Guild questline by;

 

 

becoming a Nightingale and pleasing Nocturnal

 

 

before going back to my house, getting some money of the wife and then going out for a hunt. I managed to sneak into a giant's camp and kill the giant and his mammoth with my bow and arrow which felt quite good before killing some deer to take back for dinner.

 

I then;

 

 

went to Markarth and went into the Abandoned House with some preist. It turns out that there is an evil spirit in there which possessed the house and meant that only one of us could leave. I was the stronger obviously and defeated the preist in battle before being forced into running an errand for the daedra spirit.

 

 

I then finished off my day by pottering around the town looking for jobs to do.

 

I love Skyrim <3

 

Also, for all you Assassins out there - Assassins Creed 3 has been announced!

Mass Effect 3 looks the mutts nuts but I've not played 1 or 2 much so I don't think I'd be able to understand whats going on. I'll probably have to pick them both up from the Gamestation in town (as they should be cheap now) and then I can sink my teeth into the third one!

 

Borderlands however I don't like, I never had a Co-Op partner so it was kinda' lame IMO.

 

In my world however I'm playing Portal 2 with my Papa - has anyone tried it?

Portal 2 is quality. Pure gaming gold. Love that there are two 'campaigns', one for single player and one for co-op.

 

You need to play and complete the other Mass Effects Zoo, the predecessor of each game uses the save files from the last to 'build' which "path" you will take through the game. For example, if something you did in ME1 or ME2 resulted in the death of one of your crew, then in ME3, they wouldn't be intergrated within the storyline. That also accounts for answers/conversations you've had prior too, so if you've pissed someone off in of the last games, they're either not going to willingly help you or need convincing otherwise.

 

Borderlands...really? Really really? I think its awesome. The gun regeneration is second to none, you'll hardly pick up the same gun twice in a runthrough, or even several run throughs...its class.

It's one of those games where I can really see that its good and I can understand why people love it. It's just that for some reason it never hooked me, I got up to Sledge's Safehouse and that was about it I think.

 

I've just picked up Saints Row: The Third from Lovefilm and although I didn't really like the second one this seasons like real good fun, I'm impressed!

Walked around Firenze whilst looking at buildings claiming "climbed that", "jumped across that"....

 

And i love Ezio like, but there's no way he could jump some of those gaps...mental.

 

And no i didn't visit Monteriggioni but running around the rooftops in Florence for several hours was far more interesting...I have a pic (i'll upload later) of where I 'Leap of Faithed' it. Quality. Lucky that pile of hay was there to break my fall....oh yeah.

In regards to the links Zoo, I don't like that he's in 'white' and I know that sounds rediculous because he always has been, but he'll stick out like a sore thumb!!

 

Also that fact he's wearing chaps, also annoys me.

 

I liked the idea and genuinely think the 'darker' classier version (sketched by someone, which i posted http://www.toffeetalk.com/index.php?/topic/13712-video-game-thread/page__view__findpost__p__278481 looks better). IMO.
