Assassin's Creed 3 gets its own take on Spartan Ops

Xbigy Games' Kamran Draeger writes:

"Apparently, Assassin's Creed 3's multiplayer mode will offer a deeper story than it did in previous instalments, becoming more than just an Animus training mode for Templars."

It is not " it's own take on spartan ops "....what an unintelligent comment.

The animus has nothing to do with Halo or it's universe.

I get what they are trying to relate, but they really are two different things.

Spartan ops is a story you follow , via doing missions.

The online Animus stuff that AC3 is doing is to give the multiplayer a story,but not one we are playing out. More like just background information.

It's more like SAO than spartan ops.

PhantomT14124249d ago

And it already kind of existed since Brotherhood if I'm correct.

Well yea, but this time they are making it so it's real people using the animus to play/live this virtual HD experience or Past experiences.

They are at least attempting to modernize it in a way that also fits with the main story.

But spartan ops is like a playable B-movie.

The SP already has a story. I dont need one for MP...I just want to utilize the gameplay mechanics in a way that allows me to challenge other human players. By NOT including a story into the MP, they can add things that are unrestricted by a story, things that can add to the fun factor and balance of the game. All the story that i'll ever need can be found in the campaign (which looks like it will be awesome btw).

I could care less about multiplayer in these games or weekly-generated side missions.

doogiebear4249d ago

That's some coincidence, because nobody cares about how you feel. There are millions of fans of the AWARD WINNING MP, who feel it justifies the $60 purchase by giving unlimited gameplay access via multiplayer, after beating it. Good day.

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* 😩

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.

Killer2020UK269d ago

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

Rimeskeem268d ago

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

closed_account268d 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.

mastershredder268d ago (Edited 268d 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_188268d 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.

RPGer268d 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.

Popsicle543d ago (Edited 543d 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.
