Assasian's Creed 3

[Chris2K]

I'd say it's probably the weakest of the AC2 series, there's a new bomb crafting thing which does absolutely nothing for me and a den defence mini-game where you have to move troops into places to defend against invaders and you can't go down and slaughter people yourself.

It's still a decent game that's worth playing, and I expect you'll need to if you want to have a chance of understanding AC3.

Best thing about Revelations is if you're fairly sensible while playing it, you'll only need to do one den defence.

It's a good game to tie up Ezio's storyline, but all that first person stuff describing what happened to Desmond is...well...bobbins to be frank. Either let me play as Desmond, or don't. Don't make me rearrange geometric shapes in a first person view for no real reason.

Pfft.

[Chris2K]

Oh God, I'd already forgotten about that. I got the Desmond stuff done early on and it was the biggest waste of time I can remember, you go through all that garbage and learn absolutely nothing of interest.

The first gameplay trailer. This animal hunting thing is really annoying me, I can't see what it adds to the game in the slightest, other than to satisfy the disturbing lust of teenagers to brutally murder animals.

Running through buildings instead of over them is a welcome addition. Should help with getaways and chases.

Pre-Alpha gameplay footage... that looks shit hot.

*spooge*

Well, that trailer pretty much sums up the entire backstory for new players too, as well as being awesome!

Quite looking forward to this. Shitty that I have to choose between this and WWE '13 to get my full attention. (It's totally this though.) Also, I love how this thread is called Assasian's Creed 3. Would dig a Creed about ninjas. Maybe next game?

There must be asian assassins and templars if the conflict is thousands of years old, surely. Plus, it'd give them a new direction after Desmond's story is tied up.
