Yeah, what happened? That always seems to happen to younger brothers. They grow older and become unbareable losers. Either we are bad siblings or theres nothing we could do to ever prevent the inevitable. I'm gonna say the latter. They are much more likeable when they are younger and obedient.

He had a much better taste in games back then too; like Goldeneye 007, Super Smash Bros., and Pokemon Snap.
Now he argues with me that achievements are better than trophies (even when they're the exact same thing), that he is better than all the other goons that play Call of Duty (even though that's an arcade style of game that needs no skill to play) and that Brotherhood is better on the 360 because the control is easier...
Sometimes, he has a sudden jolt in reality and will play a good game like Metal Gear Solid 4, but if it's not on the 360, it might as well not exist.

Wow......................................
I kinda sorta wanna bang my head on the wall to some of those arguements. I mean they are beyond baseless. I mean..............ARRRGH. I get frustrated trying to possibly understand what would make someone think these things. There is no difference between most of these things, like trophies and achievements are LITERALLY THE SAME THING, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!! AHJASKHDAJKJDA Same with the controls, granted that the Xbox controller has always been a perplexing step backwards in the world of ergonomics, but in essence, the controls between games translate almost exactly, like, thats like saying the positioning of the X button on the PS2 controller is inferior to the positioning of the X button on the PS3 controller, theres absolutely no difference. Also, anyone who brags about how good they are at Call of Duty is a lost cause in all ways.
It seems Xbox was the factor that corrupted him fully. He was an OK lad back in the early days on PD. What a shame.

So Brotherhoods story mode is awesome too.
Really Really awesome. Right now I'm in Sequence 3. Also, I'm loving the idea of leaving the animus at any time. Although why would people who are cooped up in the same room need to email each other? And what do the Relics in Monteriggoni do? I've found the Auditore cape and Ezios Belt in 2012. Just laying around too, ancient italian relics from 500 years before just struen about the streets and no one decides to take them and sell them for thousands of dollars. I wonder what they do though? Also, the new story is amazing, like how it feels so much bigger than the last. I just wonder why Ezio was such a prick to his sister during the Cortisan thing.

You could leave the Animus at any time during the last two games... Ubisoft just made emails so the player would have a better reason to than just dialogue with the team. I don't think the relics actually do anything; I think they're there just for "Hey, look! It's Mario's Sword! Awwwesome!" Ezio didn't want his sister in the brothel business. I told you he has a shorter fuse in this game.  |

How? I don't remember being able to leave the animus. And I really dispise the british guy and that obnoxious lesbian who programs the animus, both of them are obnoxious, and their combined dynamic is annoying.
Oh, riiiiiight. I just thought there may have been some sychronization aspect or something. Like it would help 100% synchonization.
Yeah, I understand that, but he doesn't offer an alternative or try harder to convince her to stop. I guess he really is a grumpy old man now.
It's sad, we haven't played in a few days...

Yeah, I just see that hidden blade on Desmonds arm and I wish so much sometimes that he would use it when that brit is being a snippy prick. Just right through the chin
Yeah! Definatly. It's hard to play online without you, it's just not as fun. I gotta figure out how I'm going to get the other multiplayer trophies I have left. I have yet to score a 750+ kill even.

Post by pichubro on Jan 7, 2011 1:40:26 GMT -5
There are several ways to get 750+. Either get the 2x score loss streak bonus and get an incognito kill (800 points), or get greater variety (use more than... 3 or 4 different ways to kill someone over the course of the match). Using the second option, I once got 1050 points. That was how we got to 2000 points so quickly in one match Mario, though I don't know if you noticed. Hahahaha
You can also use the +250 or +300 points from the win streaks, though those don't really guarantee over 750 points.

I have 2x equiped already, but I have trouble using it properly. I know at my neighbor's house I've gotten 750's with variety and hidden bonuses, I just don't have the same luck when I play at home I guess, I dunno. I just have trouble I guess, I can stay consistant enough to land 300-600 range semi regularly, but a single big kill like that has eluded me. And I have certainly noticed, your insanely good, Ha ha ha ha. Thats why we win, because your good, and I can like, act as good support to your style, slap together stratagies to compliment your skills, I suppose.
Yeah, I've landed those too, but I've never been able to put all the pieces together to land the massive kill. Its a shame.

I think the 2x score pops up when you lose 5 times, so if you really want to, play Wanted mode and run around until you die 5 times, then, on your next life, make sure you get that incognito kill (or even something higher like a hidden kill). If you die before that, I think you'll still have the 2x for a limited amount of time. And if you keep up with stealthy kills and variety, you'll make up for all though deaths you caused on purpose.
One way to get the variety kills is to make all your skills available and cycle through them with each death. On your first kill, you can kill normally. Then use your hidden gun or do an aerial kill. Next try a hidden kill or disguised kill. Or use your throwing knives because I think those count as variety. And then, (because this is how I got 1050 points) use poison.
I'm still working on the extreme variety bonus. That's 15 different bonuses one session, and that's pretty challenging. Includes stun, escape and lure though.

I end up falling into a slump when I lose that many times, and end up losing the perk, so I never get to use it effectively. I try to stealth kill someone and end up getting stunned or killed by someone else, it just happens in particular during wanted games. And usually if we're working together, if I lose that many times, it's because the team hunting us is a genetically altered pair of Doctors who are so good that I never get a chance to kill anyone, much less after a five death streak.
Well I figured Variety was an added bonus if you got a lot of different bonuses on one kill, it was like yet another bonus added to that.
Yeah, the trophy for employee of the month and the co-op ones are two that I have a feeling will be very hard. I just hope there are no guns only bonus, because I'm definatly not getting that. And I'm waiting to get poison, that would be perfect for my stealthier style, plus it would be fun to immitate the Doctor trophy from ACII and air kill them while they are poisoned.

Variety is an added bonus, but killing differently each time stacks it pretty fast. There are bonuses for using the hidden gun... And poisoning is a bit hard on alliance, but there's a co-op bonus I think if one person poisons and other kills the same person before they die.  |

Ohhh, so thats how it works, righttt. That makes more sense. I guess that makes yet another star that must align before I get a 750 kill.
Oh yeah, I'm about 99% certain there is a poison kill bonus, and I think it's big, like 200 or something. And I guess thats one trophy I'll never get then if I understand that one trophy to be what I think it is, getting every bonus once. If so, and I can't get the bonuses with throwing knives, I won't be platinuming Brotherhood. What a shame...

Yaaaaaaaay!
I just hope those challenges are like the knocking people out of mid air stuff you can do with the knives, then I can do the same!
Hey, I just realized something, your up late on a school night now, how are you pulling this off?

Oh no, I'm not like upset or anything that your up, by no means whatsoever, I just mean I worried you might have issues with your parental units or something, since you did before.
And I think I have recieved the aerial bonus before with the throwing knives, so I think I don't have to worry about using the hidden gun, yaaay!
I'd love to learn how to throw throwing knives properly, I always put too much of a spin on the blade, plus the ones I have are dull and bent

I feel bad, one of my Assassins died. She was one of my commanders too. I have my Assassins ranked and colors based on rank, right now I only have commanders and lieutenants. I feel bad though, she was good, and one of the ones from the cutscenes, the second one you recruit.

Did you restart the game fast enough to keep her alive, or is she gone for good?
She died on my first playthrough too... >_>

she's gone for good....... :niggasad:
Yeaaaaahhh...I wanted her to be my top general too. I'm looking for another Female Assassin to fill her spot. I'm already training another to replace her as a general. But I want another female on my squad too.

I actually don't mind the rankings so much this time around. I made all my assassins in Venetian Wine color and when they become top-ranked Assassins I'll let them wear white again. That's my personal ranking system.

I just like having ranks among my leagues. My Generals wear Black and the Lieutenants wear Azure. My generals lead in a mission, and the Lieutenants go along if I need to increase chances of success in a missions. So they are like assistants to my Generals. I have 2 Generals currently and I'm training a third. My remaining members are lieutenants. I might even make another rank if nessesary once I have more assassins under me.
Personally, I don't like the look of the red, it looks so like, I dunno, like a monk I guess. Plus the name sucks.

I love it, Machiaveli decides to tell me about Pigeons for communication with my recruits after I already have 4 fully fledged Assassins. It's hilarious.
Also, just started working with Leo, these Leo challenges are tough. I'm about to destory the sea cannon. Also, got all his weapons already. I have more money than the Pope and it's only Sequence 5. I think my Assassins have better Armor than I do already. My giant sword is badass though.

Hahahaha, yeah. That's hilarious. You can get the Sword of Altair back if you complete all the Assassin Guild challenges. |
