 Just bought 'Assassins Creed: Brotherhood' yesterday as I too are a sucker for the storylines in these games. One thing that I've noticed readin previous posts is that the ending is alittle like......WTF?!?!

Think I might have to crack on with this when it arrives inbetween all the other games that need playing. Lifes so hard.......

 Well it's not like I can remember much about the 1st 2 games storylines so I don't think the 'Brotherhood' installment will bother me when I get to the end. Not that bothered about the Multiplayer side of the game. If you ask me it shouldn't of been included. This game is single player and should of stayed that way!

 The multiplayer made Brotherhood for me. Had a lot of fun playing it online.

But then it became populated with people not playing it properly and ruining it for everyone.

 Seen the advert for this on the telly last night, Ezio is a pretty cool character.

Ezio is awesome, one of the best game characters of the last ten years. Didn't like Altair near as much, thought he was a bit full of himself, but the things that happen to Ezio and his family make you feel for the character and drives you onwards to see what he'll do next or what event will take place.

Definitely this.  It simply pandered to the masses rather than stay true to itself.  The addition of a team of assassins was the only new feature the game needed!   I enjoyed multiplayer initially, but quickly went off it as it became full of tools running around rooftops and offing people for the hell of it. Plus, it's broken my "1000gp on AC games" record!

I'll definitely get the latest installment because the single-player game is one of the more satisfying gaming experiences I've had, and the new shots of Constantinople look absolutely breath-taking.  I can't wait to see how they bring Desmond, Ezio and Altair together and, more importantly, to reveal what the fuck was going on at the end of the last game!

So from this I take it that if I play 'Brotherhood', I'm gonna have to play 'Revelations' to understand the end of the 3rd installment? Also my 1000Gs will be screwed up too. I'm gonna go back to collect the rest of the Flags from the 1st one sometime in the near future. The 2nd I've got the 1000Gs.

Are they including Multiplayer in the 4th installment?

 Yeah, I've noticed some of the exclusive DLC that's being offered includes certain MP characters, so I assume it's gonna continue to be an option.

AC endings have often been a bit ambiguous to say the least, but the last was one of the more bizarre ones.  That's not to guarantee that this installment will shed any enlightenment - in fact, it may even be a bigger WTF moment!

 I'll probs get the new installment off the missus for Chrimbo (either that or Batman: AC) so it'll give me something apart from Skyrim to get my teeth into over the festive period. Thought the first game was complete and utter wank but the sequel was great and Brotherhood was immense.

 Shopto have outdone themselves this time....

My copy of Assassins Creed: Revelations just dropped through the post, 3 days early!

Bad news is that the wife demands that it is still a Chrimbo present and the fact that is has turned up early does not negate this fact!

I am petitioning for divorce!

 I got it this morning too. Just finishing off Brotherhood first. Fortunately I'm further through than I thought. Only 2 strands left.

 Sweet, mines got the original AC on the disc, too! It's an install (PS3) so will have to remove DCU online if I want to play it (the woes of having the 60gb), but was considering getting the original again just to complete the collection as I still have II & Brotherhood. No need now .

 Revelations has been very good so far. A great opening set of missions, taking in a familiar location and feeling very Indiana Jones at one point! The visuals seem to have improved and Constantinople looks beautiful.

There's a few new features to add to the free running gameplay as well, and also a sort of RTS/tower defence section has been added. I've been playing for a few hours and only come across it once, so hopefully won't get in the way of the usual gameplay.

A couple of visual differences are noticeable in things like the HUD and various indicators, which I find odd with it being a direct continuation from the last game. And unless it's just because the controller is different (I'm used to playing AC on 360, whereas my copy of revelations is PS3), the control scheme is different. Which took a little while to get used to as I was bringing up my inventory when trying to sprint and vice-versa.

I decided to delete DCU Online in the end as I doubt I'll get chance to play it much and I need the space for other games. This had about 10 minutes installing when I first started up. Installing the original Assassins Creed now, which isn't even a third of DCUO's size!

It seemed a little Galactica_esque...just my personal opinion though that is vague and i'm looking to spoil anything

I checked wiki for any clues but can that really be trusted!

 I like the game, but some of the bugs/glitches are really starting to annoy me. For example
  • Getting to you have failed a mission before evening moving.
  • Being told to kill a Templar den guard, when you are no where near said den.
  • Have a roof top guard appear from nowhere, after using eagle vision to look everywhere, and cost you a 100% sync.
Or my personal favourite from this mornings session
  • Having the enemy cannon/tank thing on tower defence take out my assassins den from the other side of the map and fire through 3 fully upgraded barriers!!
I am also annoyed that there are no puzzles to solve like in 2 and Brotherhood, I loved them.
Still will perceiver, am about halfway through now.

Only had about 10mins with the game last night and it doesnt seem as polished as brotherhood so far. That said I havent got to the main city yet.

The death/execution animations are really clunky and just seem off. Combat has always been a little clunky but the animations seem really dodgy so far.

Early impressions though so hopefully once I get into it the issues wont be noticeable...

 Got Revelations as an early Christmas present from my dear old mum who told me there was "no cunting way your bringing that fucking machine to my house at Christmas!". What a pleasent conversation it was.

Anyway, had a an hour or so on it and I'm enjoying it so far. Just got into Istanbul and it looks awesome, very pretty. They really need to change some stuff up for Assassins Creed 3, I love the games but nothing much has really changed from ACII to Revelations. A better stealth system would be welcome and smoother free-flowing combat wouldn't be the worst thing...

Had a pop at multiplayer too unaware it was throwing me in games where none of the NPCs were styled like my character, so I was getting really pissed off at the constant death and not being able to do shit about it until I realised my mistake.

 I think my game is buggered, while playing tonight I distracted a group of guards with the romanies and went to stab couple of them in the back.
I stabbed one guard with my sword 5 times and his health stayed on 1/4 full, with the other guards just watching doing nothing. Also some guards I passed by randomly got poisoned and died, without me using the poison blade!!

Much preferred 2 and the Venice setting.

One thing I have found a little odd - Ezio is an old, wise badass assassin in this - yet he comes across as a complete novice when he gets to Istanbul and that young fella shows him the ropes. I understand the gamer needs an introduction to the new stuff but it just seemed a bit odd to me.

Not sure about the Desmond/Portal sections...seem a bit pointless...
