The Guildmasters

Hi all,

I thought i’d give a few tips when adding friends online while playing on your PS3. I’ve noticed that I have been getting quite a few friend requests, probably from this site, that have not paid much attention to my profile. When thinking of adding or sending a friend request there is one thing you should really consider before sending that request.

First thing you should do is to check the persons profile, this will show you what trophies they have and what games they have or are playing, this is fairly important due to the fact that your friends list is limited. To get the most from this feature you really want to add players that are playing the same type of games as you. I’ve been getting friend requests from people who do not have one game that is even similar to what i’m playing, eg: I checked one player who sent me a friend request and all he was playing was war games, this would be pointless for me to add him as I do not play any type of war games, just RPG’s or action/adventure type games, by adding this person I would have added a friend who I would never have played and at the same time taken up a spot for a friend who was more compatible with me.

I really don’t mind adding new players to my friends list but we should at least have two or three games in common, so be sure to check players profile before sending requests. Another thing to remember once you’ve been accepted as a friend, please don’t send multiple requests for game invites, send an invite, if you get no reply or the person don’t join you it’s probably because they don’t want to play that game or they are in the middle of playing something else. I have had more than 20 game invites within a few minutes, needless to say I deleted that person, I don’t need my message box cluttered up with tons of game invites, it’s unnecessary. If I get a game invite, if I can join you then I will, if I can’t then I won’t, as soon as I get the chance I will reply to your message and let you know why, send me more than 4 game invites before I can either join you or reply to you will get you deleted. Sorry but if your going to plague me with game invites what are you going to be like when I join you?

One last point, please don’t bother sending me those stupid messages that say Sony will give you $50 if you send this to so many other players, it’s just a bogus message started by some prankster, if you get one of these, and I think most of us get them, just delete them and block the person sending them. Apart from these few points mentioned I wish you all a great game day and hopefully we can join each other and have some fun, good luck.

For those who read the blog and haven’t yet joined the forum we have just started our quest to make videos of our in game and multiplayer gaming on some of the games we are playing.

Thanks to Wildcuffy and Death we managed to put together our first Guildmasters video of the Grave Matter quest. We are hoping to get one video of each quest for several reasons. Firstly to have some fun like we always do but this is an added extra as we can watch how we have managed to finish a quest and go over some tactics but more importantly it gives many of the newbies to the game a guide on how to complete a new quest that they haven’t yet done.

Helping others is what we do best at The Guildmasters and I want to thank cuffy and death for helping me out with the first video.

There is also an update on the free download content from Ubisoft for AC: Brotherhood which is available in december so don’t forget to check that out.

Well Assassins Creed 2 arrived in the mail today and i’ve been playing it for about 3 hrs. It would be hard not to call this game awesome, cool and all the other great words that come to mind when discovering a new game that doesn’t let you down.

After only 3hrs this game is way beyond expectations, there is so much to do, the story is unbelievable and it’s an enjoyment to play at every turn.

For the first two hours I didn’t even have a weapon but it didn’t give me that feeling of “where the hell is my weapons”, there is so much to do and explore, and just when you think you’ve got most of the moves down it gives you something new to learn.

The graphics are excellent and it’s as close as it gets to playing like a movie.

So far i’ve learnt to steal, to blend in with a crowd to avoid detection by guards, and i’ve just had my dad’s glove and dagger repaired by my friend leonardo.

It seems i’ve now taken on my fathers role of an assassin since he was betrayed, carted off to prison and hanged, yes I witnessed the hanging which is why the guards are now after me, it’s so cool.

To distract you can throw coins on the floor, there are many different moves when fighting, I like the idea of grabbing an enemy and being able to throw him in the line of fire.

You can swim, dive, steal, upgrade weapons, there looks like there are plenty of unlockables, you can easily scale walls and the scenery at the top of some of the highest buildings is very cool, then after a look around dive off and land in a cart load of hay.

I’m thoroughly enjoying this game and i’m going to take my time, I want to find all the hidden treasures so i’ll go on a bit over the next week or so, it really is amazing, if you can’t afford to buy this game at least definitely rent it, i’ll definitely pay the keep price for this one.

Will post more tomorrow night as I progress through the game.
