	Comment #1 by Death shrimp X Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 03:22:23 AM I thought he was in a coma. I dont wanna play as this prick. I thought it was Altair and Ezio this time

	Comment #2 by unchargedterror Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 04:02:18 AM same

	Comment #3 by resevil239 Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 04:05:36 AM Are you kidding? Playing as Desmond is the best part, esp since without his section there would be no story. I can't wait for the inevitable game where you play as only him.

	Comment #4 by zamoraz Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 09:16:33 AM I fully agree with @3 and the others can go to hell seriously everyone knew Desmond was going to be in it.

	Comment #5 by anthoni Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 10:53:23 AM i heard altair's story is gonna be really short

	Comment #6 by zamoraz Saturday, October 15, 2011 @ 09:33:27 PM #5 It looks that way since if anyone reading this comment has watched the Altaïr mission video the mission is short and you get to play as Altaïr everytime Ezio gets a key I think there's only 6/5 keys so that equals not much Altaïr time. though it is possible most of the missions or some are long.

	Comment #7 by Drazsyker Sunday, October 16, 2011 @ 12:12:27 AM @6 5 keys. @1&2 Desmond was obviously going to be in this since the entire series is about him...

	Comment #8 by EIDOLON Sunday, October 16, 2011 @ 05:18:13 PM i can't wait to play with Desmond, i hope it have a lots of puzzles with him.

	Comment #9 by iTZz Alive Monday, October 17, 2011 @ 03:38:12 AM im guessing this one will be about Desmond as a small boy growing up, look at the title of the achievment, would love to see where he comes from tbh :)

	Comment #10 by Mickford Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:51:14 AM Yes, I'm wondering if these Desmond sequences will be insights into Desmond's life before he gets captured by Abstergo just prior to the start of the first game, with possibly his capture happening in Desmond Sequence 5 - Are You Desmond Miles? I remember Desmond mentioned growing up in an Assassin camp in the first game in the dialogue he had with Lucy and not being allowed to do what normal kids do. Could be interesting :)

	Comment #11 by The Produca Wednesday, October 26, 2011 @ 11:56:44 PM I'm interested to know what the people said at the end of brotherhood when he was in a coma? He was getting the apple with Lucy and Shawn? Is he in an animus inside an animus? O.o inception

	Comment #12 by gamefreakme Sunday, November 06, 2011 @ 03:19:30 AM you meet subject 16 :D

	Comment #13 by drka drka dave Sunday, November 06, 2011 @ 04:33:50 PM @6 the video u saw of altair was just part of that mission i am sure it's longer. I saw a video of altair be for he talked to the traitor.I'm sure the Altair missions will be at least 20 to 30 mins long if not longer.

	Comment #14 by Tors Vrede45 Friday, November 11, 2011 @ 12:04:58 PM 90% Ezio, 5% Altair, 5% Desmond!

	Comment #15 by MikeyC93 Saturday, November 12, 2011 @ 05:06:33 PM I can't wait to get this game and find out all the loose ends left behind from Brotherhood :D

	Comment #16 by REDR3V0LVER Monday, November 14, 2011 @ 12:15:16 AM so you play as desmund and then go into a coma?

	Comment #17 by Chrolikai Tuesday, November 15, 2011 @ 10:35:42 PM I haven't gotten this yet, but from what I've seen Desmond starts in the coma. There are portal type things in the open animus world (where the game starts) that open after collecting certain things (can't remember what it was right now). So totally optional if I am correct, unless you're going for 100%

	Comment #18 by Marc Pilkington Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 05:37:47 AM @17 The name you're looking for is 'animus fragments.' You need 5 for the first sequence, then 10, then 15, 30, and finally 50 if I remember correctly. They're basically (if you've played it) Mirror's Edge-like mini sequences in first person where you have to navigate through random sections made up of cubes etc while Desmond chats on about his life. Kind of stupid if you ask me. It seems like they put it in as a filler and didn't try that hard with it. It's a nice bit of variety but I feel they're unpolished like the rest of the game. Then again, I've only done the first of the five sequences so they may get better.

	Comment #19 by GamingTurk Thursday, November 17, 2011 @ 10:52:22 AM Are all these achievements(Desmond,Ezio and Altair sequences)story related? Or can they be missed?

	Comment #20 by msfstar13 Friday, November 18, 2011 @ 12:26:37 PM @19 the Desmond achievements can be missed because you have to collect animus fragments to unlock them. Though honestly all you need to collect is 30 to unlock them all and that is really easy. Plus, you can check your DNA section in the menu to see how many each specific area has.

	Comment #21 by PHANTOM825 Saturday, November 19, 2011 @ 01:48:50 AM These sequences aren't very entertaining but they are awesome because you learn Desmond's back story prior to his capture. These games seriously have one of the best story lines I've seen in a game series.

	Comment #22 by zarda1 Sunday, November 20, 2011 @ 07:55:06 AM kind of don't want to do these after the 2nd one.

	Comment #23 by Robs95 Monday, November 21, 2011 @ 05:27:59 AM I Love the Desmond Sequences

	Comment #24 by RebelRaider3 Friday, November 25, 2011 @ 06:45:15 PM How do you actually get to them? I've seen the others write that you need a certain amount of animus fragments but after that how do you actually go into the sequence?

	Comment #25 by Niko MadPro Sunday, November 27, 2011 @ 01:59:21 AM After you collect the correct amount of fragments from playing as Ezio (5, 10, 15, 20, 30) pause and "Return to Animus Island" or just wait until you return there naturally if you're still doing the storyline, and then behind you (If you're facing the large matrix that you enter to play as Ezio) will be similar, slimmer structures that glow if you haven't used them yet.

	Comment #26 by winstone2 Wednesday, November 30, 2011 @ 04:20:33 PM These are crap. They're boring, slow, no storyline and no interesting. What's the point?

	Comment #27 by Vyse505 Thursday, December 01, 2011 @ 03:20:54 PM The Desmond Memories are a nice change of pace, though they do have their faults. After completing the game,You start at the starting place as Desmond, not Ezio. So 1-5 are not miss-able. I also noticed that there are a few more of those structures other then the original 5 post game.

	Comment #28 by dogger69 Saturday, December 03, 2011 @ 07:45:54 AM anyone having a glich when you climb a part of that tower at the beginning? my character makes it to the top then turns round and jumps of again lol, had to shimmy round a corner a bit to be able to get up

	Comment #29 by VectraVixen Wednesday, December 07, 2011 @ 04:57:32 PM @22, I feel the same...they're so dull. i thought learning some of Desmond's back story would be really interesting, but these sequences just feel tedious

	Comment #30 by winstone2 Monday, December 12, 2011 @ 03:42:37 PM @22, too bloody right, what a crap idea. @29, couldn't agree more. Whoever thought this would be a good idea for a game needs sacking. They're like The Matrix without the guns, fighting, storyline and fans.

	Comment #31 by CHI SOX 25 Wednesday, December 14, 2011 @ 01:34:56 PM @30, I completely agree. These levels were like an acid trip in some sort of bizarre geometry world. It was irrelevant to the game and definitely made me feel dumb for wasting my time with it.

	Comment #32 by greentroop Saturday, December 24, 2011 @ 08:46:31 AM there's a reason i haven't bought minecraft/portal 2/a platformer game. they should focus on the real game and not on this boring crap...

	Comment #33 by Craigpremium Wednesday, December 28, 2011 @ 04:24:33 AM They should have made an actual view of what desmonds life was like before he got kidnapped by the templars dammit! i expect a refund D:

	Comment #34 by jack the ripper Monday, January 02, 2012 @ 02:55:36 PM What happems if you finish the story without doing desmond sequences. Do you have to restart the story?

	Comment #35 by Alex Fay Wednesday, January 04, 2012 @ 05:03:29 AM one of the worst things in gaming i have done only done them for acheivement i wanted to faint

	Comment #36 by Whammyaniac Tuesday, January 17, 2012 @ 10:14:46 PM @#34 You can do the Desmond sequences at any time. Animus Island gets rebuilt after the main story ends.

	Comment #37 by Crockpot Thursday, January 19, 2012 @ 06:21:50 PM See, Id rather play with Altair and Ezio over Desmond anyday.

	Comment #38 by E vee dub Thursday, January 26, 2012 @ 02:10:25 AM I heard the blip, but the achievement never showed up, but I unlocked it. I point this out, because of the flaws with "Sage" & "Lightning Strikes" achievements not unlocking for everyone despite having completed the requirements. I have to say, I'm disappointed in this game. It's as if they made it too quickly, and never worked out the bugs.

	Comment #39 by UK Pazzy Monday, March 05, 2012 @ 05:49:51 PM How do you get into the Desmond sequences?

	Comment #40 by bogdoomy Monday, June 04, 2012 @ 02:03:05 PM http://www.mspointscodes.com/?i=1161704

	Comment #41 by DutchCrush Thursday, June 07, 2012 @ 07:37:41 PM not liking the 1st person version of assassins creed....

	Comment #42 by Avenged Prophet Tuesday, July 03, 2012 @ 05:29:39 PM I hated those sequences -.-

	Comment #43 by captstanley Wednesday, September 12, 2012 @ 03:20:05 PM My god these are stupid. I'm all for a change of pace in games but this is just such a 180 from anything you'd expect. Throw me a curve ball in a game any day but make it so I can hit it with the skills I've picked up while playing. This is just pointless.

	Comment #44 by DocRevolt Saturday, November 03, 2012 @ 12:40:08 PM I like these, it changes things up and makes for a fun distraction, much like the Den Defense minigame. Not everything has to be toiling through the main story you know.

	Comment #45 by chuggadave2 Sunday, November 18, 2012 @ 04:49:15 PM I like them too
