No, I'm not talking about the Rep lowering guy either. Not the Rep guy, not the Pickpocket guy; both of them have an easily identifiable icons.

There is a guy that runs around like the Pickpocketor that has NO icon and have no clue why he does this and who he is. I'll try and get a very good pic next time I run into him.

It's one of the Borgia Messengers that are mentioned during the loading screens, you get 1500 florins if you tackle them.

You can also kill them and loot them, but then you also get 50% notoriety.

Ah. Thank you. Yeah, killing them draws massive attention. Wonder if I can send some Thieves Gang after him and still get the $$$?

Btw, just got to Venice. WOW, this is a beautiful city area!!

What I'm going to have to do is use joytokey for the other two buttons. So now to play the game I have to fire up joytokey then play. WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THAT? It's an xbox port!

I'm playing on a big projection screen and I should've just grabbed the xbox version. sheesh.

The wireless Xbox controller has these issues with the triggers, the wired one does not. It's across all kinds of games, is a driver issue with MS.

Check out this thread at Steam. Small download fixes all the issues with the wireless controller being detected and mapped properly. Still no rumble, but definitely 1000x better than it was.

Oh well, at least they will be compensating us with additional game rewards, I hope they mean the extras from the black edition or something similar.

god damn it, i hate when sometimes game decides to reposition camera. screws up the controls, especially in those tomb finding missions. leave the camera control to the player, god damn it

btw, no DRM issues so far.

THANKS! The joytokey thing wasn't going to work. I can live without rumble I just want all my buttons. This is a great game to play on my slow afternoons after work. I waited 6 months extra for this title on pc only for 4x FSAA. lol.

The game kicked me off at an important part today. My pc is hardlined so it was Ubi's fault. I'm ready for a crack. I buy all my games I just want to play the damn thing without randomly getting kicked off. I payed top dollar for it.

Holy crap, this game is going to be long. I'm starting Sequence 6 with 15hours played so far and I just looked and there are 14 Sequences total. Even if I messed around for 5 hours that's gonna be a nice 20hrs of gameplay for a change!!!

Couldn't they use Steam for DRM?...

wysiwyg · 03-15-10, 04:58 AM

well, im not sure what happened. maybe it was installing the game again and skipping the update. but i was playing the game a lot yesterday.

and i have to say, despite nearly returning the game. i am pleased i stuck with trying to get it to work.

as the game is awesome! excellent story again imho and great music again by Jesper Kyd . the game looks pretty nice too (if only the textures could be higher res) and it runs super smooth on high luckily.

just hope the experience lasts and the dreaded idiotic stupid idea of the DRM does not get in the way, its so cumbersome
