linkdevivo Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So I bought the Ezio collection a couple of days ago, it's the second time i've played this game. There was never a sequence 12 or 13 in this game and now there is. I did a little digging and it turns out this is dlc that wasnt in the original game at launch. Is there any way i can skip it? dont want to play half assed dlc to finish the original story, plus its long. its pretty stupid that now this is obligatory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Clown Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Can't skip it, gotta suffer thru both. The first one isn't too bad, but the Bonfire one, that one just drags on way too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Oglop Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I think i'm on the DLC where you have to kill 9 lieutenants which i'm struggling with, it's really drawn out. Good luck to everyone, we can do this! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2017 Funny, at the time I was outraged that Ubisoft cut out sequence 12 and 13 from the main game and sold them as DLC. 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeteorHawk Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I got the DLC immediately upon getting ACII so I never knew the game without it. I liked sequence 12 but hated sequence 13 because it jumped so far ahead in time with little explanation, then I found out that there was a DS game that took place between those sequences! The Animus in ACII was pretty damn crappy! I agree that the Bonfire of the Vanities dragged on but it didn't spoil my overall enjoyment of what I still consider to be the best AC game and one of my Top 10 PS3 games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAlchemist- Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Are the sequences hard or is it just dragged on storyline that doesn't fit in with the base game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not hard, they're just very long and boring extra missions that aren't apart of the main game. Shitty how the game forces them on you. Those 2 Sequences were by far the worst for me personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkdevivo Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 the bonfire one just isn't any fun. it's just kill 9 random guys because you have to. and you're notorious the whole time which is so frustrating, then you have to escape every single time after killing a guy which sucks because there's like 20 times more guards around. not difficult just tedious and not fun at all. feels like work, not play 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mekktor Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Yeah, that's how it was for the GOTY Edition on PS3 too and it completely ruined the pacing of the game. Building up to the finale and we're forced to go do a whole bunch of unnecessary assassinations. Like, I appreciate getting the full story but if it's going to interrupt the main game then it had better be more than just tacked on content. I guess I'm glad we didn't also have to sit through Sequence 12.5 where we watch as Ezio gets a good 10 hours sleep after a big night out.

Popular Post Kingdom Keeper Posted May 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2017 Speaking as someone who's completed all of the Ezio games in single player, are a few extra missions really that bad? I played the second game a few years after it came out, so I never knew this game without those chapters. And yes, they're very forced and tacked on. But I'm not gonna complain. Because there's no synchronization requirements. At all. Personally, I'm willing to forgive every sin this game has just because it was before Ubisoft came up with sync requirements. Even the feathers. Ugh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't deny it was a bit unfair to throw them at us at the last second though, especially for fast runners who were aiming for Top 50. It was kinda annoying...

Actually worth complaining about? Hardly. This DLC was planned along with the game itself. It's tacked on, yes. But not in a way that feels like they came up with it a few weeks after they shipped the game. It is part of the full experience of the game.

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 To be honest though this happens often with GOTY remasters when DLC content is woven into the main game. Can't play the PS4 version of Batman: Arkham City without doing the Catwoman levels... Personally even though I didn't like the DLC for AC II that much (as others I was not amused by the one in Florence with just a bunch of people to kill), I still think that an "Ezio Collection" remaster would not have been complete without it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to the half assed chapter 13 from Final Fantasy XV. We don't demand "less game", we demand better quality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliebear66t Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Did you really get upset that you had to complete an extra mission? Maybe you just don't like the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenugalimas Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I got the game with the dlcs, wasn't aware of the fact that there were dlcs until after playing through. I have to say, the Bonfires chapter felt very out of place and didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the game. It was also quite long and tedious. Was the only part of the game that I didnt enjoy. It would be nice to be able to choose to not play it. Edited May 11, 2017 by nenugalimas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the title of the thread. Read the OP or any of the complaints in the thread. Nobody has complained that the DLC was included with the game. There is a difference between "included" and "included as a compulsory distraction before the final sequence". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
