Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I’ve been kind of achievement hunting all day. I noticed there weren’t many outside the DLC, which i was planning to play anyways. So i figured i’d give it a try. It’s been a fun experience, and relatively easy. The biggest challenge so far has been one called Lightning Strikes. It needed me to kill 5 people with the hidden blade in 5 second. The challenge was getting it within the window.
I also went and gathered the games ultimate armor set (or whatever you want to call it). The parkour to get it was fun, and the hunt wasn’t too bad. But big complaint: the mask looks fucking dorky. I wish i could remove it. Maybe i can. I might be entirely wrong. I couldn’t find a way though.
I also went through the Memory Seal for Sequence 6. I mention this because i wanted to talk about the mission that leads right into it. It ends with Ezio getting to take a picnic with Sofia. I really liked this, because as far as the Main story goes through it’s the first time i feel like i get to see Ezio just stop and take it easy. It really put into perspective how much he’s grown from the Suave playboy in AC2. It’s just something i thought was interesting.
After finishing up that mission i got booted back into the Animus Island thing. I decided that was a perfect time to take a break. As far as i know this boots into the next mission which is in the cave city thing (as far as i remember at least). I thought when i got on next it’d be a perfect opportunity to finish the last Desmond Mission.
I just finished the story for Black Flag Resynced on Sunday and I was thinking I ought to dig up my copies of the old games and play through them. I remember really enjoying the Ezio saga.
Revelations on PS3 when i was younger was the only brush i had with Ezio. Now that i’m experiencing it for the first time it’s a blast. They have a bit of jank but i still really loved them. I did have to cap the FPS at 30 though because the animations at 60 FPS were just too fast and would end up falling out of sync
I must not start another game …
Everytime I see your posts I’m tempted to buy or bootup the games but I’m already halfway through my Spiderman play through! 😅
If it’s any consolation, my advice would always be to wait for a steam sale with these. They’re very hit or miss with people, and i’m saying this as someone who loves the franchise
The thing that I find works about Sofia is how different Ezio acts around her. You can’t tell so much in Brotherhood that he’s been at this for 20 years beyond that one crack by the doctor at the beginning, since they reused his model from the end of AC2 (which is just Ezio from the beginning of AC2 but with a beard), but Revelations really makes the effort to hammer in that Ezio is old and tired of it all, except when around Sofia.
