B0SS Zombie Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 At first I thought, "eh, more of that single player platformer nonsense? How bad could it be?" It's bad. Like really, really bad. Plus, it has NOTHING in common with Assassin's Creed Gameplay, which is the reason I buy these games. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0SS Zombie Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 If I could just see my ankles, maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Then maybe I could actually tell where I'm stepping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluojn Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Agreed, I can't imagine what the Ubisoft bosses have been thinking when putting something like this out. Considering the price the answer is: making as much money as they can while the word isn't out yet that it's a complete crap of a DLC... While I was watching the credits roll after breaking the loop I couldn't help but to think: There was needed THIS much people to make this DLC? SERIOUSLY? OMG, I'm waiting for ACIII. Maybe that can make me forget this abomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well, it's exactly the same as the Desmond levels in the retail game, so you can't say you were surprised, right? I actually liked these levels slightly better than those from the retail game, because they offered a little more variety in terms of visuals... and because the story about Subject 16 was interesting.

Tetsujin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just watched everything on youtube. I didn't like Desmond's levels, so no reason to buy this, too. I hated how floaty the gameplay felt. Like you weren't actually walking but just a disembodied floating head. Also, weird physics. Like, how moving platforms could move away underneath you when you jump up.

TheDearGunther Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If you considered it nonsense in the first place, why did you even buy it? You knew what to expect. The only thing I'm slightly disappointed about is the background information. I expected to get more info about Clay and Lucy, but the story was rather short and vague. Tbh, I got more interesting information from the abstergo documents and cutscenes that you unlock by ranking up online, at no extra charge.

Anomanderuselnu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I didn't buy it because I didn't care for the block stuff. Does anyone know of a video with just the dialogue? The only one I've found so far is of a guy that really sucks at it and takes his sweet time doing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saephiroth Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just watched everything on youtube. Same here. I don't want to put the money out for this, but I definitely wanted to see it so that I could fill in the plotholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nille Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 As the majority here, this doesn't interest me at all. But as I really want 100% on this game I've already bought the DLC. I'm definitely in no rush to start it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_GueRRilla Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I didn't detest the Desmond sections from the main game like many people here. I thought it was a nice change of pace from the campaign and I personally prefer the Puzzle/Platform sections more then the MP itself. That being said I will be forced to buy it to get 100%, I'm glad I got the MP DLC out of the way at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneBox2884 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I think the first person plat former sequences absolutely sucks. sometimes you can't judge where you're going to land. at least show me some feet or something. I thought they were a waste of time for the game. I'm all for games coming up with new ideas for something familiar but they went in an entirely different direction. I've attempted the 2 trophies where you can't die and at the moment i can't do it. i can't see when I'm going. i hate that. i have a feeling i'll be putting those 2 trophies off for awhile. end rant.

Nakatomi_Uk Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I hated the 3D stuff in the normal game but its because the Animus is broken and its basically configuring the animus fragments you have collected I suppose but they could of done it in a miles better way thats for sure. I hate them they could of done it where you re did a memory like the normal game and it does glitch effects along the way sort of like the end of Brotherhood when you get all memories but in the really animus world if you get my meaning.

Ka1ciuM Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I didn't mind doing this in the main story BUT DLC full of Death Tetris jeez I just waited till I could get a cheap copy of Revelations Ottoman Edition to get all DLC super cheap. Den Defence & Death Tetris errrrrrrh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenbird Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah this DLC is pretty stupid, having nothing to do with the actual game itself, just some random Animus crap that supposedly goes on inside?? If I could unlock a new playable area or get new items or something it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satnamji Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This DLC is $4.99 in the US Store this week, but from what people are saying here, I think I'll pass even at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beasel Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Although I do agree that the game play of this DLC isnt what we as AC fans want it did give u some background on lucy which explained a lot for me if u paid attention to the dialogue. I'm not saying I love it, the warren vidic trophy was a pain but it still explained some things for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringEagle23 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I honestly thought that these puzzles were fun, as they brought some new gameplay to the table. But the way that this DLC is focused around arguably difficult tasks and precise gameplay, it's really more of a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetic_justice_ Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 At first I thought, "eh, more of that single player platformer nonsense? How bad could it be?" It's bad. Like really, really bad. LOL! So true! However, I think there is more to the character development for this DLC than meets the eye; just be sober when you play it and there is a lot of things you will hear about Clay and Lucy that are quite important to the overall AC story. Thoughts on that here: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/lost-archive/215889-thoughts-assassins-creed-lost-archives.html#post4028414 That being said, the gameplay is terrible. Were it not for finding the 20 data fragments, and the Warren Vidic & Crossing Styx platforming trophies, I would never have touched this DLC again. In fact, I look forward to the hour I can delete it from my console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedemon2021 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm at my wits end with the Impress Warren Vidic and Styx trophies. They are the Last trophies and I'm pretty close to giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x9zachattack5x Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Does the River of Styx shortcut glitch work anymore? I'm doing this on the PS4 and every time I jump down there and land successfully, it immediately teleports me back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
