Comes out tomorrow! GAME shipped my order already so I can't wait! Black Ops has been killing my time and I haven't even finished Fable 3 so we'll see how this goes [MOG]

I've bought quite a bit of things dim various Ubi games though :O

PoP, SC:C, AC2, AC:B just to name a few. I obviously don't buy everything like the themes and all but Everytime I get a new Ubi game I always have more than enough left over to buy a bit of things.

You get 10 for signing up. AC:B = 100 + 10 for signing up. You still need to buy another game to unlock everything on the disc which you paid for.

I don't mind having to unlock stuff but I resent being made to buy another game to do it when I've already paid full price for the game in question.

What happens when AC 3 comes out requiring 140 points, or the next PoP or Splinter Cell game?

I think you only need to have achieved 140 points in general? I'm pretty confused about reward points and action points here.

Reward points are the points given to you when you get an in-game achievement, right? If so, are Ubi specifically telling you not to blow all that cash if you want to earn points for a future game? @_@

Pretty much. You can earn 100 U-Play points from a game (like achievement points Mira). Once earned you can spend them on any rewards for any game. The deal being that each game in turn has rewards to unlock with a total cost of 100 points.

So each game can earn you 100 points and cost you 100 points. The assurance being that they wont make the unlocks cost more than 100 points so that you never feel forced to buy another game just to unlock items in the one you own.

Naturally because the points can be used across all games you don't have to spend them on anything you don't want to and can put them towards another games rewards.

HOWEVER, if you want to unlock everything in every game you own you should be able to. You paid for it. That was supposed to be the deal.

Now that the items cost more per game (140 points in AC:B) then you can earn in the game you MUST earn points from multiple games to unlock everything. So you can never unlock everything in all of your games.

It's a cheeky as putting the DLC on the disc and then selling you an unlock key to get it. Instead of charging you a couple of dollars though the price is a whole other game.

I see [MOG]. Cheeky indeed, some of the rewards aren't that great though so I don't ever see me spending the full 100. I do agree with you though, the thing is already on the disc so you SHOULD have it [Rage]

At 140 points though (if this is the new standard) that means for every two games where you want to unlock everything you need to buy an extra game.

I'd rather that item X unlocked when you earn achievement x. That makes much more sense to me and is far fairer than this system.

I didn't even know what that uplay stuff was about, now that I know, I want no part in it.

It's been around for a while now, but first appeared kind of out of nowhere and hardly anyone understood what it was.

I'm not interested in it either.

I'm finally up to sequence 4 and this game is wayyy too fun. I'm having fun doing the tombs and all so it sets me back but damn! They're so fun.

Sending out assassins is also fun, Its so bloody simple but it's just general "casual" fun.

Also, I literally jumped for joy when I get my double blades back! I was flying off roof's and horses stabbing two guards in the face [Derp]

Edit: FFS! This game shits me up sometimes! Sometimes they make 100% a memory so bloody stupid! I apparently have to do it to "replicate" how Ezio did it but I highly doubt Ezio killed a whole frigging army whilst taking no damage.

And to add on top of that, my level 7 assassins went on a 5* mission with an 85% success rate and they all failed and died! C'MON!! [Rage]

85% is not 100%.
Anyway, I am just finishing it off by completing the tombs and rebuilding rome.

You just need to get your counter going. RT + X and slaughter them all without getting hit. ;)

You just need to watch out for the guys whose icon above their head flashes. Make that guy your next in the combo and you're fine.

Take them out first Mira. Maybe you shouldn't just charge in. Use your crossbow if need be to take them out from range.

That's not always the case though, I remember this one mission where you had to fight 3 guys with spears or something and they just chucked you into it, no running away to get cover, just full on 500 french guys on you.

It was sooo hard. I had to kick, jab x, jab x again, dodge from #2 guy, go back to #1 guy and kick, dodge again from #3, get shot from random archers on the roofs :'@

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
