i got to this scene last night and loled. why is everyone cross-eyed in this damn game

is the tomb platforming always shitty? i just did one that took me forever to get to the top of only to find out that the developers actually chose to make you have to descend the same way you came. after all that i deserve a shortcut assholes!

I got stuck at a tomb platforming a few months ago and have not played this shit since then !

the vita one, liberation, is really good, the best AC game by some distance.

that inspired me to pick 3 up, it is by no means _good_ but it is better than its reputation. so far at least.

xp which one is that?

xp which one is that?

AC3. up to that point there were some nice stuff though (the ships battles were pretty cool). but I couldn't care less about the trading and all.
not really feeling the fights. and I really found the cities boring. nothing great to climb !

oh wow you manage dto get much further than me then! I think I quit at the ship tutorial

i can't seem to catch thieves either (ac2) so now i'm just like ehhh take-a my money i don't-a care

despite the overblown mess of AC3, I'm still kinda looking forward to the Pirates one

ehhh take-a my money i don't-a care

yeah those bits were hard but doable.

xxp I'm not very far after the ship tutorial !
every now and then I feel like giving it another try...

Noassin's Creed

have sales of ac3 been notably lower than 1 and 2? because i loved the first two but couldn't stand the 3rd. hopefully they'll reboot it to re-add the 'fun' next time

Anyone buy the new pirate one? The reviews are saying it's the best since 2, but I'm afraid I have some Ass fatigue.

Ass3 was such a shitshow that the only way I'm picking up Black Flag is when I can get it super-cheap.

Yeah, I hear you. AC3 was a fucking mess.

But pirates!

yeah AC3 burned me forever on this series

I didn't even like 2 that much

I loved 2. And I need a new roam around the world game. But man, AC3 was SO BAD.

any stats on the first day sales of all the ACs, inc the new one? like everyone else, i found 3 such sluggish anti-fun i've pretty much given up on this series.

hilarious that all the reviews (for 3) hover around the 9/10 mark, such venal bullshit. up there with the ridiculous response to la noire

ass creed 3 is really impressively terrible. like, dude sneaking all over the one-story buildings of colonial boston is the dumbest shit i have ever seen. he's literally like 4 feet above the sightline of passers by. in his cloak and shit.

ass creed liberation on the vita was v good tho. much smaller game per hardware restrictions, tighter storytelling, good setting. plot was gibberish but who fucking cares at this point.

I loved 3 but this one is a LOT of sailing. Like hours upon hours so far...

plot was gibberish but who fucking cares at this point.

haha i kinda feel like about that about the franchise at this point. oh great a whole new environment!!!... in which to sprint, climb and button-mash fight exactly like all the previous games

I found 3 as boring and bad as everybody here. gave up on it after a few hours when it was released but I've gone back to it a couple days ago.
it's still as bad but I decided to finish the main story or at least all the battleships parts !
that's a big challenge, I know.

all the side missions, trading, hunting, interactions with people are so uninteresting... and indeed, who had the silly idea to set this in a city with NO high buildings ?? how could this be validated ??
it's basically an AC where climbing and horse riding is useless... even the assassinating part is not so central !

I broke down and picked this up. To my surprise, it's actually quite good. The story is a bit pish, but for the most part (fuck a chase sequence, now and forever), the game play and the world is a joy. Getting in naval battles, tracking down collectables, whaling; so much to do and the systems to do it are actually good. Though AC2 still wins for story and setting this might be the most fun Assassin's Creed game yet.

yeah I am tempted to get this even tho AC3, like for most people, made me swear off thes series forever - the pirate theme is just too tempting. I'm not that keen on the naval battle stuff (didnt do much for me in AC3) but how is the island exploration? Is there anything to acrually explore? That's the part that fascinates me most

huh this is encouraging.

The empty island exploration is a bit meh, but the locations they created to traverse and interact with in the story or side missions are some of their best. The naval combat is entirely revamped and updated, and is both fun and, at times, nail-biting as you weigh another shot or ducking incoming fire. You also board to capture disabled ships, and depending on the size of it may have objectives to complete before capture occurs. As far as systems go, it's definitely the highpoint of the series. Stuff makes much more sense, and your swashbuckling combat style fits the milieu.

like, dude sneaking all over the one-story buildings of colonial boston is the dumbest shit i have ever seen.

this actually sounds appealing to me lol :-{

finally got to the naval stuff in 3, it owns. kinda psyched to play 4 now if it's even better than this.

man for every fun part of ac3 there's like five stretches of boring ass, janky bullshit. like the entire prison sequence. still looking forward to playing 4 as i am a fucking asshole.

how bizarre, I thought I had posted a message about AC3 but apparently not : I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE MOTHERFUCKER !
it was sooo painful (with some tiny bits of fun... but mostly despair).
one of the worst games I have ever played, definitely.
not sure I want to give more money to those who have created that nightmare (although the naval combats were mostly fun in AC3)...

Finished 4. It kicked major ass. Still too many "follow that man - oops, you failed!" sections of the story, but everything outside the story was a blast. Now I'm wandering around with a group of thugs killing every guard in Havana. Good times.

oh the follow that man/chase sequences are some of the worst abominations in AC3...

have i posted itt abt how much i love liberation? that game was imo the finest game in the series and is available on pc for like 20 bucks soon so no excuses.

i read the wiki synopsis of 3 b/c i can't force myself to finish it, man, fuck that. the framing narrative in 4 sounds way more entertaining.

but everything outside the story was a blast

lol modern games

AC not for me

have i posted itt abt how much i love liberation? that game was imo the finest game in the series and is available on pc for like 20 bucks soon so no excuses.

i might be into that, isnt the hd version coming to ps3 too? new orleans seems like a cool setting for it

Is the whole game coming out for PS3? You get a short sequence with her as a free bonus for buying AC4, but I didn't realize the whole thing was being ported.

its a full rerelease i believe

cool!

I'm currently at 70% in Black Flag and, yeah, really enjoyed it so far. I've only played a tiny bit of the first AC, so the whole thing is quite fresh to me. There's been a few too many 'follow this person and don't get caught' missions, but the creeping around, knifing guards in the back stealth stuff never gets old. Mostly I'm just enjoying sailing to desert islands over choppy seas as the crew sings shanties, and pickling fights with big fuck off Spanish galleons loaded with booty.
