Assassin's Creed Brotherhood PC (mouse/keyboard)

[earicci]

Looking for those who loved or hated the PC version of AC:Brotherhood - and any compare contrast to the console version?

Are you looking only for comments regarding the quality of the PC porting, or do you want more general information? I played through the game on PC with the 360-controller, and it was a smooth experience.

No big thread on this? Is it all just on the console side of things?
Anyway, to me, this is an awesome series and is packed with more content than just about anything I've played. I'm having a blast. But they played a dirty trick on me today. There is a viewpoint on top of a aquaduct that has rushing water over the edge. I tried every which way to climb that thing. Then I got the climbing gloves and tried over an over again. Gave up after about a half hr. Went on-line and found out that

Spoiler for Hiden:

you have to defeat a nearby Borgia tower first and that area doesn't even open up til memory block 7.

I cry foul!!! Unfair!!!

I think Ubisots asstastic DRM debacle scared off most people, plus the delay probably didn't help either.

I bought this during the steam summer sale and I'm having a lot of fun with the games.

I would say that keyboard/mouse is serviceable, but found it works way better with a controller.

As a game overall this is a way better improvement over the first one, but there are some minor annoyances, like the free running can be a pain sometimes.  I'm finishing ACII and definitely looking forward to starting ACB.

I've been holding off on Brotherhood because I'm getting all kinds of conflicting info on the DRM from my Google searches. I've read that it has the always-on type, the activation-only type, and no DRM at all. Which is correct??? I'd be looking at the physical disk version.

IIRC it logs in when you fire up the game, but you can play offline once that is done.

I got it in the last steam sale. It logs into Uplay every time before it starts. Maybe there is an offline setting, but I have no idea and it runs fine for me this way so I haven't looked for it. Great game. Even more to do than AC2. I am so enjoying bringing up my own group of assassin's and watching them get better.

how's the mouse working for you?  I played it on a friends PC and it seemed the view would hiccup when I moved the mouse to look around, like they didn't implement mouse smoothing properly.

[Greg Wak]

Mouse works great for me. I haven't noticed any hitching at all. The engine is rather impressive. lots of detail, lots of civilians and when I have to run like hell to get away from the guards everything is butter smooth on max @1650.
