You may remember Russ’ first My Gripes about Assassin’s Creed. Well, I’m back with another. I’ve been playing it again for the last few days, and while I still love it, there are a few things I really need to gripe about, relating specifically to what I’m doing in the game.
There are a total of 420 flags that need collectin’, and 60 Templars that need killin’, but without a very tedious and anti-fun system of checking and re-checking, there is no way that you (or more importantly, me) are going to find all those hidden little nuggets on your own. I’ve been using some really good online guides to help hunt the Templars, but without keeping track externally, I don’t know which ones I have or have not done yet.
Assassin’s Creed really needs to have some kind of in-game map support to find these things. Maybe as an unlockable after you beat the game, or hell, I would even pay upwards of 200 MS points just for some downloadable support. Did you hear that, Micro/Ubisoft? Free money! Just for putting some little red dots on a map! Sounds like a killer deal to me.
Yeah, I haven’t collected any of the flags or put any effort towards killing those Templars just because there is no way to track them.
