I posted this a few days on the article, but no one bothered to read it. I got it working on my Note 2.
"I got this to work on my Verizon Note II but it was a pain in the ****.
After trying a few market hacks with little success, I saw it was compatible with the SGS 3. My wife has one, so I logged into my account on her phone, bought it, and installed it. I copied the Obb file up to my Windows server with ES Explorer, but I couldn't find the APK. I backed it up with Titanium Backup, took the 3 files created from that, and sent it up to my server.
I copied everything back down to my Note II. The Obb file goes in /sdcard/Android/obb/com.ubisoft.assassin.pirates. The other 3 files go in your TiBu directory. I then restored the app with TiBu and ran it. It worked.
I had typo in the obb file path and it just redownloaded the obb no problem.
The incompatibility is a myth IME ... I think it's just lazy coding. There is no reason it can't be installed on a Note if the SGS 3 can handle it.
If you can buy the app on another phone and get the apk to your phone, you have a good shot it working (assuming newer phones). You can probably even ignore the obb file and let it download, making it even easier.
I'm still on JB 4.1.2 btw.
Good luck!
