Posted May 10, 2012 I think it looks great. Especially love the part where he runs through a building. I'm not sure how he's avoiding getting shot during half of the fights, but it still looks like good progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2012 Well, they're firing muskets, so all he has to do is divert fire to one point, like it showed with him taking that soldier hostage, and in the amount of time it takes to reload, he'll have plenty of time to kill em all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Bumpage!! With the release of this title tomorrow in the UK, anyone picking it up?. I managed to get one of them DLC passes yesterday in GAME (they had them on the rack, the assistant said it were ok to purchase). And Shopto mucked my order up, still getting it release day. But it will be the 2nd order i put down, as they didn't process my original order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 I did the ol' Empire Magazine subscription dealio so god knows when I'll get my copy. But since it's essentially free, I don't care Looking forward to it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 I hear its buggy as fuck. Any impressions from you lot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Hm yeah I've been reading some similar things, a bit worrying. Makes me consider cancelling my pre-order and waiting for a few more impressions. Sometimes you pre-order on the assumption that the game will be good but that's not always the case... Edited October 30, 2012 by Shorty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Gametrailers say there's a Day1 patch you shouldn't skip. http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/36518/you-should-probably-download-the-assassins-creed-iii-day-one-patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Ha, I guess PS3 users might skip it. For the xbox it would take about 10 seconds. For the Wii U you probably have to wait for them to post you a memory card. kidding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 30, 2012 I didn't realize this was out so soon. And I'm actually excited about this, unlike Revelations, which I was fine with waiting for a price drop for. Who wants to buy it for me? *Bats eyelashes* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Been playing it most of the afternoon...it's really good. I'm enjoying it, though it has some bits which annoy me The map, for example...counter-intuitive...controls with the right stick. Lock picking takes FOREVER and if you accidentally slip on the analogue sticks, just slightly, it resets Had a bug where my assassin was constantly trying to grab his sword but couldn't so I had to rely on counterkills. Everything else so far has been great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Considering going down to Game 15 minutes before it closes and ask if the game is out. What do you think my chances are? :p If it doesn't work, I won't get to play it before 18:30 or so tomorrow, have to work from 12 to 18 as the only day in the week(part time job) and turning up at the store at 10 is pointless.

Posted October 30, 2012 I have to wait until the 23rd November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2012 Twas in GAME yesterday, saw the shelf of AC-III games at the back of the tills and asked how many people have asked for a copy. The assistant estimated around 30 that day so far, and another 2 asked whilst i was being served by one assistant. @Cube, why you gotta wait until 23rd November. You getting the WiiU edition?

Posted October 30, 2012 No, PC version. It'll likely feel the same as the 360 version, have slightly better graphics and is much cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 30, 2012 No, PC version. It'll likely feel the same as the 360 version, have slightly better graphics and is much cheaper. If you have the right system, it'll have much better graphics. The AC series has been one title that has been leagues ahead of its console counterparts. The best part is the wide/multi-display support. If I was patient enough to wait, I would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2012 Been watching my cousin play for a few hours. he spent $130 pre-ordering the big fancy box o' stuff. He doesn't seem particularly enthused about the game thus far... I think the 'prologue' is taking a lot longer than expected. Personally I'm not enjoying the british accents. I know that's going to be historically accurate but it just irks me. It's not exactly the most awesome part of british history. The currency being in real money is pretty sweet though! In terms of glitching... yeah there's been a few. Mostly with the horse collision detection. The combat is 'different' -- not had a hands-on myself so I don't know if that's just my cousin being a flid. He also spent about 10 minutes trying to open a chest, and did not succeed. The terrain seems quite claustraphobic - though this again may be due to the 'prologue' limitations on the character..?

Posted October 31, 2012 All i know is, i got my copy at home and a day off tomorrow. I'll put my thoughts on once some play has commenced. Bit harsh that Gamestop had exclusive for the Freedom Edition, and that some content (like the medallion) is missing from the higher edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2012 Only managed to play it for an hour or so last night, but my first impressions are that I'm very much enjoying the atmosphere and the new look. It's nice to get out of the same old crowded streets we've seen for four games. However the bugs mostly are with the movement. What was always so smooth before often seems to catch me out when vaulting over blocks or jumping from pillar to pillar. They changed Desmond's face again, which annoys me more than it should. Shaun's, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 1, 2012 Gets a bit punchy-punchy at the end of the 'prologue' Though I'm sure he's got more daddy-issue daggers to twist as the game progresses! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2012 I got given this as a present yesterday and I'm excited to get into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
