Assassin’s Creed 3: 10 Reasons It Might Be The Game of the Year

WC - At the end of this month, the next instalment in the highly successful Assassins Creed franchise will hit the stores, and by the sound of how it’s done with presales, it looks as though it will hit the market with storm. And I believe this fully. I have followed the Creed games right from the first one, and although I haven’t played the handheld renditions, I know the story. The Creed game is simply my all time favourite game. Everything about it is stunning, and Ubisoft really do deserve the credit. The games are just the perfect blend; History, conspiracy, action, and stealth. Each game has had mind blowing physical detail, and manages to mix action into the accuracy.

i called this in august, because all the competition except for darksiders and borderlands got pushed back to next year.

Chuk54217d ago

What about Need For Speed, Halo 4, Dishonored, XCOM, and even earlier games in the year like journey?

prototypeknuckles4217d ago

i forgot about dishonored it is the only one out of those i can say has a chance, halo 4 doesnt look good to ME, i have a feeling it wont live up to the hype, xcom looks okay, need for speed wont even come close, and journey was overhyped its good but its only an hour long.

Perjoss4216d ago

Interesting you mentioned need for speed instead of forza horizon.

iamnsuperman4216d ago

I do not think it will. Its multiplayer hasn't really changed in any of the other games from when it was introduced as from the sounds of it, it hasn't had a major overhal either which to me has gotten very stale. The story in previous games has gotten a bit convoluted as well. I am looking forward to AC but a GOTY contender?? I do not know. I think AC 3 has a lot to do considering Far Cry 3 has shown promise and we have had games like Spec Ops: The Line, Max Payne 3 and Journey (naming just a few) which have been solid games.

AC3 on the WiiU... Thats what I'm looking forward to

goldwyncq4216d ago

AC3 or Borderlands 2 are the only games this year I see which has GOTY potential

Games with the dumbest NPCs

Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

Flawlessmic265d ago

How did redfall not make the cut.

Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

Killer2020UK270d ago

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem270d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

closed_account269d ago

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188270d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer269d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.

Ten years later, we miss the old you, Assassin's Creed.

Popsicle544d ago (Edited 544d ago )

I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.

On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
