Assassins Creed 3
 

So they released an official commercial for Assasins creed three. The gameplay looks pretty solid and the Ubisoft site offers a reasonably priced preorder with all the DLC you would get in one of the special editions.

But the upbeat hip hop music on the commercial sounds disjointed and out of place. I understand the concept of the "coming home" theme but to watch something that is based on assassinating people and killing paired with cheery music seems. . . off.

Are you looking forward to this game?
How do you feel about DLC?
Do you think Ubisoft can make AC3 as great as AC2 was?
The Ezio storyline seems like it would be hard to outdo.

Can't wait to somehow get it, but I've been too busy to think about it lately.

im not a big fan of it being set in america, im gonna assume thats mostly to appease the american market :s

It could be, but it could also due to the fact that the main enemy is the templars and they eventually formed the Freemasons. My bet is that this is the reason why they are following the path that they are.

I completely forgot about that.

Edit: I remember looking up the Freemasons a while ago...is the Assassin symbol also based on the compass?

I know it is similar, but I'm not sure if it is based off of. The other theory could be that the freemasons were an off branch of the templars that the assassins supported against the main "secret" branch (setting this theory in the AC universe).

Okay, I apologize for the double post, but now that the game is out, any comments? I'm enjoying it thoroughly so far.

Nrrrrr. -grabby hands at-

-avoids all spoilers in thread-

C'mon Espy, you know you wanna.....so tempting......

So true Ashy, so true. You started playing yet?

Connor (Conner?) is really silly-looking in that hood >.>

it's like the character designers were like "MUST WEAR WHITE HOOD" even though it doesn't fit with the setting at all

Well, they worked it pretty well in my opinion. The eagle on the hood plus the other touches of Native American pieces to the traditional white assassin's "uniform"

Brotherhood and Revelations add a lot of story and continuation to it. While not using a new character, it is in a new way and quite interesting.

Yeah, he is. Though you trail through some of Altair's later life in Revelations as well.

This may seems like an odd, but am I the only one who got, when entering the codes for missions packs and whatever they had, a message that said : New Content Unlocked : No new content unlocked?

I don't understand that one O.o Like did it do something or not O.o?

Depends on what the content was....

I know when I went in for the Mayan Temple mission and Captain Kidd's Sawtooth Sword, it said it was unlocked, but didn't show it in the "archive" or whatever it is called.

Oh that might be that actualy. I just found it very weird and confusing. It's the first time I've seen something like that, but I have this habit of breaking evertything related to technology I touch, so... yeah.

Still need to do AC 1,2, and the others before 3 <.<

Both Brotherhood and Revelations have some pretty big chunks of story in them, so if you care about the plot making sense you should at least read up on what happens in them.

Yeah, like Lestrade said, if you care about the story you definitely don't want to skip them and go right to III. Even ignoring the Ezio-centric stories, they still involve a lot of Desmond-centric story. They may not have numbers in their name, but they are definitely sequels, not spin-off/stand-alone games.

As for Connor's design, I think he does look pretty neat, and the bits of Iroquois design they added is kind of nice. The problem is that he looks HORRIBLY out of place with everyone else in town. He's supposed to be able to blend in, but he sticks out so much compared to everyone else in their revolutionary-era clothing. That's really the problem I have, it doesn't fit the setting at all. If he spent all his time in the woods or something, that would be fine.

i have the one on the vita... it is so entertaining... even though its a different person

I'm still waiting to see who Connor's going to be slashed with

though nothing will ever replace altair/malik in my heart

Yeah, only time will tell. In defense of patriots attacking/chasing Connor, remember there are Templars on both sides of the War.....

Best Buy is having it on black Friday at $34 or so.
I might buy it then.

Okay, so I beat it. Love the game, but a bit disappointed with the ending. That said, it sets up nicely for a possible sequel.

-drops in for obvious reasons- Heeeeeyyyy.

Hi hi Espy. Can't wait to play it, eh?

Pfffft. I need more time in my life.

Who doesn't? Especially once you throw school, extracurriculars, then video games....

And art. And SLEEEEEP.

Yeah.....that to.

So....any questions on it?

Not right now, no.

So....anybody excited for the Tyranny of King Washington? Only another month or so until it's release....at least supposedly. Any thoughts?
