The hype is warranted. From their time with Assassin's Creed, Screen Play would not be surprised if it is game of the year. They spent a gripping day last week playing the game and chatting to effervescent Creative Director, Patrice Desilets.
Patrice says there are two elements to Assassin's Creed - the formal missions and "the toy".
When Screen Play finally grabbed the joypad, they could instantly understand what Patrice was talking about. Whether leaping across rooftops, scaling the heights, swan diving from towers or just annoying innocents by barging into them, knocking over their market stalls and causing them to drop items like pots, Assassin's Creed is enormous fun to just tool around with.
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
Im already sold on this game...haha..it's between this Game and Uncharted for GOTY..IMO..!!
Personally, I think GOTY is going to be between this and Mass Effect. They are the only two games I'm excited enough about that I'm buying them on day one. Usually I wait a few weeks to snatch them on the cheap online, or just rent them, but these two have stolen my lunch money for sure.
Edit: Somebody obviously doesn't think this game is all that good. We ALL got disagrees, hahaha!
i have been sold on this game since 2006 when i first heard of it .... i really really really really really really really really want this game lol
This game looks awesome. I'm looking forward to trying out this style of stealth in a game.
believe it or not, but I'm interested to see the final results and reviews. Not really my type of action game. I need loads of blood, limbs, screams, and gore (GoW, HS, Conan, Manhunt, the Darkness) to go along with it and from what I've seen this game is heavy on the stealth and escapist tactics, but not high on the bloodletting-onslaught of an "invincible hero". Ya know? I know a ton of you love it, but I'm definitely outside looking in on this one; hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Can't wait for PS3vs.360 screen comparisons - what a *fun day that will be. <------------sarcasm
