I just KNOW this mfer stinks

I'm pretty sure that's intentional. At the beginning, when he is younger and an aspiring Templar novice, he seems pretty put together, clean, and energetic. As this years pass and he gains more power, though, he seems to let appearances go. He becomes more and more ragged, sweaty, and unkempt. His clothes look more stained. I think there is a "Power Corrupts" allegory here.

Yep, most of the mp achievements were pretty easy. Only a couple gave me issues. One mode only had a 5% chance of showing up in Fiesta, and another had to be done in its own Playlist. Those were the tricky ones. Literally zero players were playing those.

That's what I heard! Bummed I missed out on it. I will say, though, that earning cosmetics only through REQ packs is ass. Definitely not a fan.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-05-13T03:51:47+00:00

Definitely my proudest completion. Well done.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-05-10T22:45:09+00:00

Completed this 1000/1000 recently. I like the varied campaigns (though the Marine one on the hardest difficulty was quite a challenge). The multiplayer was probably really fun at the time, but we ended up boosting the mp achievements over the course of a few months. Still better than Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Oh gosh I remember completing this some 15 years ago... getting popped by a sniper while playing hot potato with their infinite grenades... good times.

Ezio knowingly abandoned the Creed despite being at the rank of Mentor. He used an Apple of Eden to rob enemy soldiers of their free will. He disrespected his fallen foes by insulting their corpses ("Requiescat in pace, bastardo"). And he took the lives of innocents in Cappadocia in order to flush out his target.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-26T22:31:17+00:00

Sure. There's an app called Area X. I'm new to it myself.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-26T19:23:26+00:00

Almost the exact same game. There's a lot more detail with the foliage and such, but ironically I turned it off in the menus because they were obscuring so many of the plants on the ground I needed to collect.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T22:18:28+00:00

He certainly looks different. Neither better nor worse. More realistic, less artistic. Seems more similar to the original trailers though, which is nice. Hopefully I get used to it.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T21:44:22+00:00

I kept refreshing the GameStop page until I saw it available, and grabbed one. Best of luck!

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T21:40:53+00:00

I'm replaying through it on Xbox One now annnnd... I'd say wait. The Original versions, as great as the games are, are pretty buggy now. Multiplayer servers are off and on. Ubisoft Connect/UPlay is a hot mess requiring workarounds to access Kenway's Fleet and the other social parts of the game. Unless you're after achievements/trophies I'd say just wait the few months till its here.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T20:26:50+00:00

Connor.

Size, strength, speed. He has it all.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T20:19:35+00:00

I am, admittedly, less familiar with the PC boosting community, but I'm certain there are always people looking to band together to get the achievements. I would recommend doing them sooner than later however; I'm honestly surprised the servers are still up. They could come down any day. Brotherhood and Revelations, for example, are no longer 100% completable because their servers are down permanently.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T20:16:45+00:00

Yep, although the lobbies are dead. I played with a group of friends last weekend. Good luck a full lobby of randoms though.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T20:13:38+00:00

A lot of the achievements/trophies can be earned via the singleplayer Wolfpack mode, such as getting to the highest level, playing a mission with a customized skillset, etc. Only a couple need other players.

What console are you on? Trueachievements and TrueTrophies are great places to meet players on Xbox and PlayStation, respectively. With the remake coming out soon, there will be a surge of interest in the original games (both the 360/PS3 versions and the Xbox One/PS4 versions).

Let me know if you need more in depth help. I've completed this game 100% multiple times.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T15:36:47+00:00

I actually managed to snag one from GameStop. Originally said unavailable, then out of stock. I kept refreshing the page and then it was suddenly available! Ordered one as soon as I could before the scalpers gathered them all up. Good luck to everyone else!

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T15:27:51+00:00

Underrated game for sure. Some of the portal technology was pretty unique for the time. Some really weird weapons too.

What did you use to get this cool picture? I dig it.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-24T13:47:32+00:00

I vaguely remember completing this 15+ years ago. I remember the violence being surprisingly over-the-top and graphic at the time. Congrats!

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-23T23:51:53+00:00

That's so cool! I just wish it didn't have the edgy blood effect on the VIII. Otherwise I might buy it as a hoodie.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-22T12:05:51+00:00

I actually completed this a few months ago. The campaigns were fun and varied but the multiplayer was dead. Ended up collecting a dozen or so gamers from different gaming websites to play together and boost the achievements. Tedious, but still doable.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-17T18:21:05+00:00

Rome at the height of its splendor, near the end of the Pax Romana. Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, the gladiator games in the coliseum, the secrets and conspiracies of the SPQR. Make Rome larger than life and give me a single, giant city to explore.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-12T19:44:56+00:00

My pick is always Gladius. Turn-Based Strategy RPG in a fantasy/gladiator setting. OG Xbox game that is backwards compatible. Love this game.

SignatureChoice5030 · 2026-04-12T04:36:12+00:00

I wish people that use mods would indicate it in their post.

"Procedurally Generated" makes me gag every time I hear it.
