geebsGot AC: Brotherhood in the mail yesterday, so finally got to try that out. Its pretty awesome. Ezio is a smooth bad-ass. Also, while I was aware of the "real world" stuff, hadn't yet experienced it. Like all I knew about it was Kristen Bell voiced a character. Anyways, I guess between this series and Gossip Girl, it seems she does more voice over work nowadays than actual acting! But yeah, she sounds totes cute here, and I like the little flirty thing she and Desmond have going on.
Progressed far enough to unlock virtual training, so I could get some practice in. That's one good thing about the Desmond sequences, its good practice for the parkour stuff with less pressure. I've definitely gotten less gimpy moving around. But yeah, got some short kill streak training in to get used to the combat, particularly practicing the chain killing. So, once you kill a guy, quickly move the directional stick towards the closest guy and hit square to do an immediate kill move, and so forth. If someone swings at you to interrupt your streak, quickly do R1+attack to counter, which you can do even if you're in the middle of a kill animation on some other guy. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Now that I know, did way better than my first run on Saturday. I was aiming for at least a 10 kill chain, so I could get the "serial killer" trophy, but managed to get all the way to 16. So, I'm halfway to my decree that I shall get a 1000 points in short kill streak! Well, halfway in terms of kill streak. Since its your highest kill streak times the number of actual kills, that's only in the mid 200s, point wise.
One thing I know I need to do is practice the double kills to jack the chain up. During your kill chain, when selecting your next victim, HOLD attack instead of just pressing it, then you'll do the kill one guy and toss a knife to kill another, or the cool hidden blade to the neck move, then firing the hidden pistol THROUGH the guy's neck to kill another.
Also, I didn't know you could toss the heavy weapons by holding down the attack button. During the villa invasion sequence, killed the one brute, then picked up his axe and tossed it into the next brute. I think there's some achievement from tossing a certain number of heavy weapons at enemies? Fun!
In DW, got all the nightmare weapons except that damn Auric brush. Not looking forward to that pain in the ass. But it will be sweet to say I was able to do it all by myself. Got all the devotion lines of the Wei, and maybe half of them maxed out with their final titles. In terms of the other factions, did that for Zhong Hui, Xiahou Ba, and Wang Yuanji in Jin, Lu Bu of course from other, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and Taishi Ci of Wu, and Ma Chao, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan. My goal is to at least finish the Wei, Lu Xun from Wu, Huang Zhong (to get all 5 tiger generals maxed), Jiang Wei, Guan Ping, and Xing Cai of Shu, and Diao Chan, and go from there.
