The British Empire colonized the east coast of North America very early in the 17th century. After a hundred and fifty-plus years of British rule, the colonists of America, as a result of a shift in ideology, rebelled. Assassin’s Creed III drops you into this historically rich world of the American Revolution as a Native American known as Ratonhnhaké:ton, placing you in the middle of key moments in America’s quest for independence. 6.5/10

... that's partly crap because of the 'Desmond' parts!?
I truly hate the whole 'Desmond/sci-fi aspect of the series. I don't like the character, I don't like that storyline, and the gameplay in those levels is just soooo boring.
All these AC games would have been better without that Desmond overlay-story, and truthfully, the AC games also never needed the Desmond story.
I loved Assassin's Creed 2 because of Ezio, his story, his levels, his gameplay. Not Desmond.
In the first game the Desmond parts were not too intrusive and added that conspiracy feel to the game, but when they got expanded they just got plain boring and took away from the game rather than added to it!
In Revelations (which I still haven't got around to completing) I found whenever I was in a Desmond sequence I'd just be trying to rush it as it felt like it was getting in the way of the game!
It's a shame though.... when I played AC2 and Brotherhood I got immersed into the game and completed it quickly.... with Revelations I find myself not being that bothered to play even though I want to find out the conclusion of Ezio's story!
Just my opinon, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if there were little hints of it during game but nothing else at all mentioned.
then for the last game bring it into the present day and only then reveal that all the previous games were played through the Anamus etc so it's a big supprize that comes toward the end of the game.
They should not have had all those extentions of AC2, the game released this year should have been straight off the back of AC2 and should have concluded Ezio's story. The AC3 we have now should have been for the start of Next Gen although maybe that would have not worked out with how they want to tie into the Dec date plotline. I don't know, not finished AC3 yet.
It's funny because Ubisoft never mention or show an advert with the Desmond parts , so when I first played AC I was like "the fvck is this" I honestly thought I bought the wrong game and its funny because its so bizarre and out of place people bitched about in the 1st game 5 years later and 5 games its still present ....why ?
Let me just say that playing with Connor is more fun than than anything the series has offered so far. This game on the whole is much greater than the sum of it's parts. Could it have been more polished in areas? Definitely. Is it a bad game? Hell no, just a very big one with a story that may be too slow for some.
You will not even see the best of what the gameplay has to offer until you are over 6 hours in. But make no mistake, you will feel like you are playing a different game once you get there. If you have patience and love getting into a game's story, then you will be very well rewarded here as it unfolds and seemingly gets bigger and bigger and let's you do more and more.
No-one here is wrong is saying that the game starts off slow. Connor's father's story line is certainly a lot longer than anyone anticipated but that's because it literally sets up the story...There have been a lot of parts of this game that remind me of Red Dead and I absolutely love it.
