Well thats interesting, and terrifying. Although, that logic makes no sense. Wasn't it Nuclear bombs that brought Japan into the post war era? I guess he really was crazy. And I'm guessing most of the people who did this stuff got stopped by other people because of that phone thing.

Oh riiiight, indeed. And which cutscene, the one where Ico falls out of the sacrifice chamber?

Ha ha ha ha, indeeeed. I defeated most of the colossi with the stock settings, I only figured out the fruit thing around Colossus #12 and had only found 1 or 2 lizards before that point.

Yeaaaaaaaah, someday I'll enjoy such a life, although I kinda do now really. I am already suffering the stuff that makes one crazy enough to be a high end lead designer.

And ARGH!! I hate the Tank mission in Brotherhood! I'm ALMOST at 100% synch, I just need this, and 2 other missions, and I'm at 100% But UGH! I hate having to restart the mission every time I get hit by a cannonball, which is a lot. Usually during the tank battle at the VERY end. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to do so much to get there every time.

Hide behind the white wall of doom. That's how I beat the level. As long as you don't go too far, you won't get the automatic death.

[Mario the black knight]

I can beat it, just not flawless. Do you mean the wall of desynchrinization? I tried that, and got shot in the buzzing dyingness

I meant pre-war era. ^_^;
Yeah, the very last scene was the main character stopping the assault with the help of 20,000 hackers and some fighter jets, it was cool!

Where he meets Yorda.

I didn't figure out the lizards until number 12 or so. I couldn't find the stupid thing so I went messing around and found out that some tails glowed.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, I know, but I mean the war ended when they dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, thus starting the post war era. Kinda ironic really. That sounds pretty amazing though.

So thats like, the second or third cutscene technically. I love that one though

Yeah, I just remember you told me about all this stuff, but I could never find any of it until then, and I was like "OH MY GOD!! THERES ONE! AHHH!!" And I did everything I could to get it.

[Mario the black knight]

And another thing

AHHH, Outland has Co op! I think if that game ever goes on sale, I may have to buy it. I also saw some later gameplay, it looks insane. Plus, in addition to being able to do the entire game co op, there are also special challenge levels especially for co op. I have other priorities though, but that may be one in the future

[pichubro]

Yeah, I know. But the levels seem kind of monotonous, which makes me feel less excited about playing it. I do like the Ikaruga gameplay style to it though.

Btw, are you pre-ordering ACR?

[Mario the black knight]

From what I've seen in videos, it seems like they have a lot of ways to freshen up the gameplay. I like the gameplay a lot, just the basic platforming alone, like how free flowing and responsive it feels. And I have a feeling the exploration elements could be awesome too.

I'm not sure, are there pre order bonuses and stuff? For me, that might be my Christmas game. I'm already garenteed to pre order Ico collection.

I've been reading up on Assassin stuff right now. And I've got a few interesting things I've found. For one, apparently those GPS coordinates point to a cave in Central New York. At I thought it was odd. So I looked deeper into it. Apparently the caves were used by Joseph Boneparte to hide from Assassin's tracking him down after the exile of a brother of his. So my thought is, Napolian is a powerful templar (after all, he had a chance to march on Rome and dethrone the Pope during his campaign in italy, but he didn't) And he somehow got his hands on the info about the location of the Temple in the New World, and sent his older brother to check it out. Of course, the Assassins caught wind of it and followed him there. Oh yeah, and my favorite thing about Joseph's Bio. Guess where he dies. Florence, Italy. And apparently the Assassin Order factually existed too.

[pichubro]

If you pre-order ACR at Gamestop, you get a free upgrade to the Signature Edition which includes

Bonus singleplayer gameplay mission
Exclusive multiplayer character
Weapons capacity upgrades
Animated short film based on the Assassin's Creed universe
Soundtrack

Though if you pre-order at Amazon, they almost always guarantee a $20 credit, so after three games you essentially get the fourth one free. Ahhh what to do..?

[Mario the black knight]

Hmmmmmmm....

Maybe then, I dunno, thats a tough one. I'm already dishing out the cash for Ico, I'm not sure if I can do both. I might see what I can do. Like maybe get someone to pre order it and then give it to me for christmas or something, I dunno, but thats a huge longshot, the person who usually gets me games usually goes for the cheaper option. We'll see though. I'd love the sountrack though, especially if it had some of my favorites from the previous 2 games, and that Woodkid song.

[pichubro]

And that info you posted was really interesting, I thought that I had referenced it in my last post. Hahahah guess not. xD So ACIII might possibly take place in America. Maybe during the Civil War.

I think the soundtrack might be a digital copy only, I'll have to check into that.

[Mario the black knight]

I doubt that. I think it'll still be in Europe, during the Napolianic wars most likely. The nationality of Desmond's next reletive will either be French, or possibly Italian again, which I think is by far most likely. I'm guessing we'll also possibly meet a reletive of Subject 4, since Napolian's first big crushing blow to his military campaign was in Russia, and we know Subject 4's reletive is Russian. I think closer to the end one of the missions will possibly be to sail to America to chase Joeseph down, but you won't get him and instead will discover the Temple, then you'll get him in Florence, since how he died was ambiguous, they just say he died in Florence.

Hmm, how would they do that? I figure just a disk would be easier.

[Mario the black knight]

Wow.

You know a session is good when we can use up a full charge on my bluetooth during it. That was pretty fun. Except for that Extremewear guy or whatever his name was, I hated that guy so much, EVERY single time I landed a hidden focused poison, he was right behind me to kill the guy immediately. But otherwise it was amazing

You'll be happy to know I didn't have to resort to eating my shoes either, I got to make dinner. So it all worked out perfectly :nigga:

[pichubro]

Napoleonic Wars? Well, that would be a jump in years, and could bridge the gap to Desmond being American. Who knows, maybe Ezio's kid went on to live in Manhattan until Napoleon rose to power and he helped fight against Napoleon's forces.

Yeah, possibly.

Yeah, it was great, and yeah, that guy was stupid.

Yay! I watched a documentary about Star Wars and how it derived from classical Greek and Biblical stories and archetypes and how it has affected our culture for the past 30 years.

[Mario the black knight]

Maybe, I dunno. I think it'll start in Italy, since that was kind of a big military campaign in Napolian's Career before he became Emperor of France. If you read into the history of those wars, they really seem big like the Borgia era of the Church. Like, there must have been a Piece of Eden involved. My other thought for it starting in Italy, is because by now the Assassin Order now has a strong base of opperations in Rome by the end of Ezio's life run by some of the most skilled Assassins and greatest minds of the Rennesance, by the 19th century it still has to be around. And I'm sure Ezio's offspring immediately inherited a spot in the Order, so my guess is he'll probably already be an Assassin or something when the game starts, like just getting started with the order.

I hope so. I want that disk

Yeah, I really wanted to kill that guy. Everything else was great though.

Awesome! A lot of that is interesting, although I saw a lot of World War 1 and World War 2 influence too, like with the whole Resistance style, and how in particular, Han Solo's gun looks a lot like the Mauser C96. Other weapons the characters carry remind me of that era of weapons too.

[pichubro]

Link time!

Desmond trailer: youtu.be/t4x1H8x9YSM

ACR Literal fun: youtu.be/zJjJY5YpKRI

Infamous 2 glitch: youtu.be/ztbl5zCDrIs

[Mario the black knight]

Madness! Also, I love how Desmond somehow hit up Target to get a new hoodie while he was in a coma

Also, MADNESS!! Ha ha ha, that was less funny then it was totally awesome, we are talking about literally the greatest trailer for anything in the entire world with absolutely no exaggeration whatsoever. Also, I love the reference to the previous trailer at the end before the ending that makes me mark out every time I see it. I LOVE IT!!

And A HA HA HA HAH , Ridiculous. That guys scream towards the end is the best part.

By the way, I was gonna remember to remind you, but I got into an artistic mood and started playing with Photoshop for a while

[pichubro]

Yeah, though I didn't really notice-- "OOO a shiny door! "

Yeah, I used to find Tobuscus's Skyrim literal the most epic, but I think his ACR video is the most epic now. If you look at his upload list, you'll see him at E3 and that's the video where I saw him play the new multiplayer. Lucky man.

Hahaha, yeah. I watch this guy's stream every once and a while. ^_^

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, the inside of the Animus looks a lot like an Aperture Science test chamber, to the MAX.

I at first honestly thought his version was gonna destroy it, but he didn't, it was still clearly good, you can tell he's definately a fan and probably freaks out whenever he sees the trailer too like us. How much does it cost to go to E3? I've always wondered how unatainable E3 really is. He is insanely lucky though.

Yeaaaaaaah. I wish I had memory on my HDD, then I'd download the 1 Hour Trial for Infamous 2

[pichubro]

E3 is an invite-only event, there is no general admission (this trend started only a few years ago).
You literally have to prove that you are a part of the gaming industry, or have made some impact on the industry. I have no idea how Tobuscus got it, I think he snuck in.

From E3's official website: "Please note that E3 Expo is a trade-only event and is not open to the general public. Individuals who are not able to document their direct, and current professional affiliation to the interactive entertainment industry are not qualified to attend. If you are from the retail sector, you must be able to provide documentation that verifies that you are responsible for company purchasing."

The three day pass is $500. Per person I think.

[Mario the black knight]

Good lord! Thats ridiculous! Wow. So I guess we'll have to wait until our first game comes out to get in then. But like, whats the point then!? Those people probably get early access to a lot of stuff either way! ARGH! Curse you game world Aristocrats and your Ivory tower known as E3! One day we shall penetrate your walls!

[pichubro]

Actually, I think if you're a game developer and have an exhibit, you get free passes. E3 USED to have general admission, and the price was similar, but the show floor got way too overcrowded and it was chaos, with live concerts and so much crazy stuff that the E3 officials said, "Screw it! Important and relevant people only!"

So bleh.

[pichubro]

OMGOMGOMG

Mario! I was watching a gameplay playthrough of the new multiplayer in ACR, and there's a REVIVE option in team/co-op mode. YEEEEEESSSS!

[pichubro]

Hahahaha and you can taunt your enemies!

Brotherhood is going to be so irrelevant when Revelations comes out. I better get that platinum before everyone stops playing.
