Haven't played it, but quick question anyway:
(AC1 stuff here)
So about all this 2012 business and whatnot from the first and all assorted conspiracy theories, do any of those details actually matter come this game? I mean, I'm fairly certain the orbital platform factors in somehow, but is the rest of it still just background story and nothing more?
As a person who has not played this game, that screen is wholly unintelligible to me.
Why would you click it when I labeled it as a spoiler?
I'm a whore for spoilers for games I'm not currently playing nor don't think I'll ever play. Though I do have a next gen system now, so I should probably stop doing that.

One of my favourite dialogues in the game so far:
It's when you infiltrate that small cloister in the Toscana to kill one of the small fry conspirators. He is walking around talking to a monk about God and Christianity and the entire discussion is pretty long and I just love how the Templar keeps telling the monk what a fucking moron he is for believing in religion.
Especially the part where the monk says "They say his speed and strength where bestowed upon him by the devil himself!" and the Templar just goes "God damn,do you have to make everything religious? He trained himself, just acknowledge that a man can become strong by his own power!"
I do it too. Kinda hilarious watching a mob of them flail around drunkenly.

I had the worst accident yesterday. I wanted to get a codex page, so I looked around on how to best distract the guards. So I hide in a group next to them and decide to throw some money around. Sadly though,I forgot that "d-pad left" is not,in fact, throw money. So I still had my hidden blade equipped and press "X" and BAM, two innocent women get a face full of stab.
Needless to say, when I finally got the codex page,there were a lot more bodies around than I had planned for.
I found a great new way to make money in this game!
Leave it running, switch my input to HDMI1, and play God of War Collection while waiting for cash to roll in. :P
You have 2 PS3s?
also, Re: the glyph solution
It makes perfect sense. Like I said before, there's a number and one of those symbols in the pictures. The "2" on the car and the 8 on the newspaper. Now how the hell you're supposed to get the next few decoding ones, I have no clue
Glyph 14-ish?
Especially the one with the circles and other random squiggly patterns. I see the < in the picture, but there's no number to match it up with, and even then, there are like 6 extra options to select than there are spaces on the wheel
Glyph 18-ish?
The sequence with the triangles and cups was bullshit too, but at least two of them were defined, and there were only a few possible choices for the last one
The last glyph's codewheel was great though
Everything is permitted indeed 8-)

I kinda cheesed my way through most of the code wheel glyphs.
Once the wheels with two blurred spots started showing up, it was pretty easy to guess that the only right position for the wheel is one where two of the numbers on the solution matches the two blurs. Then it was just a case of going through the remaining combinations one by one until something clicked.

I enjoy punching people down because the finishing move when unarmed is fairly brutal and then you have the joy of watching them roll around on the floor in pain
Sadistic!

Okay I am being driven fucking stupid by this game. Where in the flying fuck is the guy I am looking for in the "Spear of Infidelity" mission? I've been looking for an HOUR now and he is absolutely nowhere to be seen. Where PRECISELY is he because this has driven me absolutely crazy. This is the beat up mission in Tuscany.

Check the outer wall.
Edit: ON the outer wall!

He's precisely up on the city wall. Although I've heard rumblings of spawn problems. But check the wall.

What do you mean "Outer wall"? Do you mean outside, the actual wall or INSIDE?
Please, I'm super frustrated. Be 100% precise, because I have scoured this area 50 times now and there is absolutely nobody up on the wall or outside it. Is he down inside where the well is next to the wall?
Edit: Where on the wall!? I'm looking at the wall right now, I'm on top of the tower in fact. There is nobody left or right of me.

Abort the mission and come back. He should be on the outer wall in the little walled area, but I had to quit the mission and restart because he didn't spawn.
I had a similar problem with another assassination mission last night... the guy just did not spawn. But after a while, the mission just aborted itself... no text, mission fail message or anything, it just stopped and all my quest waypoints popped back onto the map. Weird.
So I was strolling around Forli when I see a guard patrol marching down the path. The guard in front was armored and carrying a spear. I didn't care for the cut of his jib so when they passed me by I poison bladed him. I moved to a safe distance and watched him go berserk and die. One of the other guards then began to approach me, shouting "You! You there! Do you have something to do with this?!" Once he got next to me he then shoved me and said "You don't have permission to so much as take a shit if I'm on patrol!"
So I calmly walked over to where the dead guard fell. The chastising guard followed right behind me, shouting more obscenities. I calmly reached down, picked up the spear, and stabbed the shouting guard right in the gut. He stopped shouting.
The two remaining guards rushed me. The first one got the spear to the chest immediately. The final guard tooka swing at me, which I countered by spinning him around and shoving the spear deep into his back, and then letting go of it. The guard fell over face first, dead, with the spear sticking out of his back at a bit of an angle. I kind of calmly looked around and just strolled away.

The "Replace spine with spear" kill always makes me feel warm and happy inside.
Sometimes I think I should've been a serial killer.
I have 3 more pieces of The Truth left. WTF is this
Adam and Eve, of which Jesus is Adam, are jogging, naked, through the Citadel from Mass Effect. Eve is wearing a red iPod Shuffle on her right arm, as joggers often do. Jesus sees a round door ahead so they run inside and everything's made of wood. They then start platforming like they're Mario and Luigi. Except, again, they're naked.

Makes me wish I could just carry the fucking spear with me. I'd gladly give up a sword/mace for the spear. I'd almost give up the hidden blade for one!
is anyone ese kind of put out that apparently everyone else in AC's world can climb walls and run along roofs as well as i can
i could kind of accept it from ezio, you know. the guy's a womanizer and a good for nothing playboy, he's gotta find something to do with his time, and he's gonna get some climbing practise in with all those women in their second storey bedrooms
but come on, guards can do that shit too? and apparently most of the bastards i have to chase on foot as well? i might even accept it if they stumbled/slipped when climbing or balancing

It's way better than AC1. Everyone and their mother could free run as good as you could. There seems to be different levels of skill in AC2. Guards have a bit higher in comparison to some. Some can't do any.
Try running over some buildings with mercenaries in tow. Those fat fucks.

agreed, though if it were tougher for the AI to chase you on the rooftops then the game would be even easier than it already is... which IMO is too easy.

Oh man, I just discovered the greatest thing. Or possibly the greatest accident ever.
In my first playthrough I ignored the courier mission around the corner from the Auditore house until the end. It was some older guy. Just started my second playthrough and did the courier mission right away. Much younger guy. Either the skin is random on the courier missions or the guy actually got older with time. I really hope it's the second.

The last glyph's codewheel was great though
Maces are really fun, but they just don't look right on his belt... the sword looks far classier.
However, that doesn't mean you can't bash faces in. Just use guards' maces!
Pretty easy too
Also they've made hidden blade disarms really easy. i almost never use my primary weapon...
Sadistic!

Yes, from every conceivable location. There is simply nobody up there. I took my rage out on some musicians though.
Fuckers.

Wait you can learn extra moves by paying the fight ring guy?
Me and my 400,000 florins might have to find this out for you.
Let's not forget you also learn how to throw multiple throwing knives at different targets simultaneously. Pretty sweet.
I completely forogt about that. Weird. They really should tetll you the trainer can help unlock moves for you.
Makes me wish I could just carry the fucking spear with me. I'd gladly give up a sword/mace for the spear. I'd almost give up the hidden blade for one!
Almost.
They tell you every time you run past the guy.
