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.
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.
