"There's no doubt in any of our minds that Assassin's Creed III, when it supposedly hits this fall, is going to be one hell of a game...
As the days grow shorter until we experience the "end", more news has been surfacing as to exact details about the game's setting and protagonist.
We have long said the evidence points to the American Revolution as a setting, and have had other 'confidential' reasons to believe we were right.
Now an image has been leaked, courtesy of a Best Buy employee who snapped images of an upcoming promotional piece. This confirms our long-affirmed guess that Assassin's Creed III will, in fact, take place during the American Revolution!"
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.
Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4
The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.
No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.
Nope
There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war
They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided
They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back
I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.
Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.
Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience
Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Woah!!
Can't wait to assassinate some red coats...
oh man.. this is going to be interesting, to say the least.
Completely ridiculous, but maybe they're going to tackle racial undertones by the character being Native American? Would be an interesting subplot.
bold move
I guess freerunning up trees will be the go?
I think the suggestion of the French-Indian war was better...that had Yanks with Brits (and indians) against French and Indians.
I guess the Brits will be the bad guys and not the Americans???? Typical.
I really don't care for the series but if you play as a Native American, I can't miss this. It's rare as hell to play as a Native American.
