Pretty much this as well. We'll see how cheap this gets during the winter sales.

Ubisoft has their Uplay thing and don't typically use Steamworks, but sometimes third party sellers like Amazon sell Steam keys instead of regular old serial keys.

I'll probably get the game down the road on PC too. It's looking great.

Masterful how it wastes no time setting up the next Season of Assassin's Creed. And how there isn't a choice.

[close]

What I like about the series is that there's the Desmond story and then the individual Altair-Ezio-NativeAmericanDude story. The Desmond one is fun for the intrigue junk; hard to take seriously. Also, Desmond's face looks totally different from Brotherhood (and 1 and 2).

I wont be able to play on anything other than the vita realistically - but given all 4 of my memory cards are full, i'm toying with just buying this as it's likely going to be some 2 gig monster.

Plus then the wife can play it seeing as she's finished most the others.

I disliked 1 so much that I didn't want to play the others but now I have found my self owning both 2 and 3. Might play 2.

demi · « **Reply #27 on:** October 29, 2012, 07:23:52 PM »

2, Brotherhood, and Revelations are its own Arc really. You wont get Ezio's whole story just playing 2... unless you Wiki of course.

I wasn't thrilled with AC1 either. AC2 is much better. Never did finish it and might get that PS3 compilation of all three AC2 games but ACIII+Liberation is probably more than enough.

downloaded it for Vita. Low frame rate, sub native - still looks pretty nice. Son has grabbed vita to play Paint Park. Game over.

Shipping delays from Amazon.

Weird since my state is not affected by the storm and the games should also be coming from the same state, TN, or KY.

Still early but its enjoyable. Some of the mission design though in a few cases has been confusing to me but maybe that's because I skipped the last few.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #41 on:** October 30, 2012, 09:51:51 PM »

nah the game is geniuinely confusing and barely tells you anything. 3 hours in and still having taken control of connor yet. read it takes up to sequence 6 to do that...im on sequence 2

bork · « **Reply #42 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:13:04 PM »

What have you been doing for so long? I got to sequence 2 before I stopped playing for the night...I think that was barely an hour in, if that.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #45 on:** October 31, 2012, 04:12:31 PM »

if youre playing this don't read character bios cuz some are glitched and will spoil late game events for you

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #46 on:** October 31, 2012, 11:11:49 PM »

Some of the missions are really poorly designed and instructed. And the controls feel even more automated than in prior games. I like the game but for a big budget game it doesn't feel as polished as I would hope. Still early though.

brob · « **Reply #47 on:** November 01, 2012, 12:56:08 AM »

the opening is really annoying. they give you the shortest missions possible and interject small, flow breaking cut-scenes after each one. Yay, you walked up the stairs onto the deck. cut scene! now walk up to the captain. CUTSCENE.

I always want to like these games, but have such a hard time doing it. I enjoyed brotherhood, especially the optional crypts where I felt sneaking was good and fun. The rest of the time I'm usually just fantasizing about playing thief. $:-\$

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #48 on:** November 01, 2012, 02:20:40 AM »

The thing is I really like the game. It's just frustrating when you have to do a mission 3 or 4 times because you don't understand what is expected of you instead of just being able to get it right the first time.

Spurgeon · « **Reply #49 on:** November 01, 2012, 07:53:28 AM »

As a newcomer to the series: this frame rate sucks dick.

bork · « **Reply #50 on:** November 01, 2012, 09:11:47 AM »

Didn't play more of ACIII, but played a bit more of ACIII Liberation last night. I can see the outfit-changing system being very annoying- when you are dressed in your "noblewoman" clothes, you can't do parkour and are limited in other abilities.

There was also already an escort mission

where the NPC I was leading apparently couldn't hop over a fence and instead decided to go run off to another area of the map. $:-\$ But I'm still having fun with it.

cool breeze · « **Reply #51 on:** November 02, 2012, 02:33:54 AM »

Did they change the horse riding to make it better? and is it even necessary?

I'm playing Brotherhood now and it's mostly great but the horse riding is pointless and bad. It's little thing like how in Shadow of the Colossus and Red Dead Redemption, you can be running, call your horse, and he'll catch up and you can mount him without stopping. In Brotherhood, you call the horse and he comes to where you called it and stops, so you too need to stand and wait for him. Speed/travel wise it's pretty inconsequential when you're running speed isn't much slower. It's just a weird addition to Assassin's Creed 2.

If AC3 has more open terrain, I can see horse riding actually matter.

rodi · « **Reply #52 on:** November 04, 2012, 05:03:31 AM »

Just got past the Boston Tea Party... still lacking an interesting protagonist. Haytham Kenway > Connor.

edit: Horse riding is still pretty pointless.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #53 on:** November 04, 2012, 09:39:16 AM »

i hope this series gets its comeuppance one day. Its what I think of when I think of smoke+mirrors game design. Jerks you off with easy gameplay and nice graphics (but shitty framerate and only nerds care about that, amirite) and a "complex" story.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #54 on:** November 04, 2012, 10:36:30 AM »

i got to connor and just stopped playing. kind of bored wit hthe game which sucks because I loved playing as Haythum. He didn't seem like a "bad guy" like the other main characters have, he was just a normal kind of guy and I liked hte idea of the grassroots nature of it.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

that twist of him being a templar did get me though

Tucah · « **Reply #59 on:** November 05, 2012, 05:22:07 PM »

I'm pretty far into this (Sequence 9) and having mixed feelings. The setting is fine, the story sucks, Connor is a terrible protagonist (game would be 10x better with Haytham as the main character), the game is absolutely horrible at explaining anything, it's glitchy as fuck and like 2/3 of the missions are godawful. Despite all this, it's still a pretty fun game and the mechanics remain solid and entertaining. Tomohawking dudes in the face never stops being awesome, the easy auto-platforming still looks pretty cool most of the time and my OCD side still loves collecting everything (aka it's more AC). It's probably one of my least favorite games in the series (Bro>AC2>AC3=Rev>AC1) but I'm having a decent time.

Oh, and give me an entire game of naval missions, those are awesome.
