Vote for your favorite Assassin's Creed 2 achievement

by Xav de Matos { Aug 11th 2009 at 8:00PM }

On its official forum, Ubisoft is giving gamers the chance to vote for a future Achievement/Trophy in Assassin's Creed 2 -- otherwise known as one of the few games not delayed into 2010. The choices are:

"The Taste of Revenge" -- Kill X Brutes (heavy guard)
"Weapon Master" -- Use all weapons at least once
"Victory Lies in Preparation" -- Get all available upgrades for Ezio
"Mighty Traveler" -- Travel X kilometers within the game

Currently, "Victory Lies in Preparation" is leading the pack with 45% of the vote. While the available choices are your garden variety in-game accomplishments, the contest gives gamers a chance to participate in the wonderful world of game development! Seriously. Look for your name in the credits ... it will totally be there. Voting ends August 17, so get to it.

How about something not totally cliched and overdone.

Seriously. I find myself picking "Weapon Master" because I figure "well, that would be the least tedious one to get..."

How about punch 25 beggars. "Manhandling"

Completely agree. When I read the title of this article I figured they would show us some very nice and creative achievements but instead I see the standard cookie cutter achievements nearly every game uses.

I will still enjoy the game but I give them a fail on this voting on sub-par achievements like it's amazing or something.

Lucas @ Aug 11th 2009 8:20PM

I could see Ubisoft putting all four of them in, no matter what the community votes.

dupuis @ Aug 11th 2009 8:28PM

"Weapon Master" -- Use all weapons at least once for sure. But they all seem like the lame achievements that developers are going towards nowadays. All upgrades seems like a given, doesnt it?

A quick comment on the headline:

Originally I was going to put achievement/trophy to play nice with everyone, but it would have messed up our slug and it looked really ugly ... Also, I figured if anyone complained about the lack of the word trophy, they obviously didn't read the article.

I'm suing

Chromekreeper @ Aug 11th 2009 10:10PM

JUST KIDDING! tomatoes, tamatoes

greqo @ Aug 11th 2009 9:27PM

The 1st one sounds a lot like the templar achievements...

Jesus (PSN: Luttdawg) @ Aug 11th 2009 9:35PM

There are some games that use achievement/trophies in awesome ways. This does not seem like one of them.

Prat @ Aug 12th 2009 8:04PM

Fable 2 had awesome achievements.

paperless @ Aug 11th 2009 9:52PM

Weapon Master, let's hope it awards a cool weapon prob.

bt389 @ Aug 11th 2009 11:25PM

how about one for doing the same boring shit over and over then seeing an ending that has nothing to do with the next game? that's my vote. ubisoft sucks.

ShdyLTD8 @ Aug 11th 2009 11:31PM

"with your ps eye camera(or 360 cam) play the game for 15 hours straight by doing same mission all the time, then beat the game and get a fucked up ending and record your expression"

RedSonRising @ Aug 11th 2009 11:35PM

please no achievements for collecting flags: i refuse to hunt for 'cogtags' ever again and ill never get achievements related to anything like that.

Alex @ Aug 12th 2009 11:17AM

Hunt for COG tags? Really? I had 28/30 after my first run through of the game. Played it a second time on co-op and got the remaining two. Easy.

The flags, however, sucked. I killed all of the Templars easy enough, though.

whylekat @ Aug 14th 2009 10:33AM

Then flags only sucked cause there were like 1,500 of them and no way to look for them except for dreadfully boring exploration.

I'll never be able to explain while collecting was such a blast in Crackdown but so slow and demanding in most other titles....
