dazzybee Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Cheers guys, sounds like I'll be okay just playing this. I might try and do it, especially if I don' get AC3 at launch; but time is not something I have much of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftada Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Does the Wii U version have online multiplayer? I never got around to playing online on the 360 games, but I'd like to give it a go on AC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anyone think this will be playable on its own? Never played them before. Was planning on blitzing the other Assassins creed but dont think i'll have time.. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/10/24/should-assassins-creed-iii-be-your-first-assassins-creed-game Should Assassin’s Creed III Be Your First Assassin’s Creed? With the impending launch upon us, it can be tempting to go back and play through all the other games before stepping up to Assassin’s Creed III. But if you managed to make it this far without playing any of the others, it might not be worth your time. Assassin’s Creed III has expanded upon the successful formula and is undoubtedly the biggest game in the series to date, making it the perfect entry point for players new to the series. The Story So Far Assassin’s Creed has always placed a heavy emphasis on narrative, but despite that, it hasn’t really pulled the threads together in a coherent way... yet. So far, our story follows the path of Desmond Miles as he uses the Animus to relive the memories of his Assassin ancestors while protecting them from the Knight Templars -- both in the Animus and the real world. This all might sound a bit confusing, but thankfully there’s a “previously on Assassin’s Creed” wrap-up at the beginning that summarizes the story so far. It doesn’t cover everything, but it summarizes enough to get the main point across for new players. It also helps that each game in the series works as an independent experience. Sure, they might be better as a whole, but they can stand alone, both in terms of story and mechanics. Assassin’s Creed III is the perfect place to jump in, as we saw the conclusion of the Ezio trilogy with Revelations. The clean slate means that there aren’t any unanswered questions hanging around like there were with Assassin's Creed I and II -- with the exception of some of the Desmond stuff. That has always taken a backseat to the ancestral action though, so it isn’t that critical. Sounds all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sounds all good! Yeah saw that. Perfect Might add this to my launch lineup, even though I have way too many to play; but I am taking a week off so I reckon I get through a few!

Retro_Link Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Series Re-Cap Huh. That wasn't really what I was expecting! :p Not really sure what to make of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just watched the new trailer. Really surprised how much of an anti-british sentiment it seems to have considering the fact that the developers have said how balanced it is from a story point of view. EDIT: I'm also worried that this is going to fall into the realms of really predictable revenge story telling. I've never liked revenge stories as the always fizzle out or have an unsatisfying finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It would seem i won't be getting this on launch day, thanks to a complete cock-up via Shopto. My order wasn't dispatched, i have the pre-order confirmation. And they have no trace of the order, so it would seem i gotta pay a higher price to get it compared to the £49 i had it for.

Shorty Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not really, whilst the game will have plenty of features unique to the Wii-U, it's still worth knowing how its been rated based on the things that won't change (story, visuals, controls, multiplayer etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorrey but shouldn't this be in the other consoles threadTrue the Wii U version will likely get it's own review.But I should imagine it'll be pretty much the same, maybe a point or two either way depending on how it runs on the console, the Wii U's online, and what they make of having the map on the Gamepad etc...

Magnus Posted October 30, 2012 Share 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. Fake edit: Well, I guess it's not out on the Wii U yet, for obvious reasons.
