Posted November 5, 2012 Series Re-Cap Huh. That wasn't really what I was expecting! :p Not really sure what to make of it all. I must admit, it's a bit of a shit story! Kind of puts me off buying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2012 I thought the story is pretty fun. Regarding balance between the British and Patriots, it was heavily against the British. I heard it was going to be balanced. Although the intro was somewhat pro British. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2012 Interesting, that's not what Marcus from Gametrailers said and he's English. Don't let Marcus hear you say that, he's Welsh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2012 Don't let Marcus hear you say that, he's Welsh! True :p I'd go for a drink with that man any day of the week. There's no one else in the industry who I listen to that is as frank as him. Yes he goes off the handle regularly but you can guarantee that what he says is not tailing the line bullshit or self indulgent navel gazing like Pachter (TWAT).

Yes he goes off the handle regularly but you can guarantee that what he says is not tailing the line bullshit or self indulgent navel gazing like Pachter (TWAT). My only problem with Marcus (and Shane actually) is that they both have a tendency to talk over the other presenters and bully them a bit on Invisible Walls. Pachter on the other hand is a total wanker. It's a good thing he doesn't get paid on a 'no win no fee' basis as he'd be penniless. The shit he spouts is laughable. I remember him saying the Vita would outsell the 3DS at the rate of 4 to 1. Now the Vita's sales stand at around 2.2 million units and it's selling about 40,000 units world wide a week. The 3DS has sold around 22 million units and is selling at a rate of around 240,000 units a week. The DS has actually sold worse than the Dreamcast! Pachter's latest 'vision' is that the Wii U will be a flop. Well, I'm actually happy he thinks so, because usually the direct opposite is usually what happens!

Posted November 6, 2012 So, rumors go that Ubisoft is planning to release a Assassins Creed bundle containing this and the former four. Including all earlier released DLC. For a retailprice around €150,- But still... Hope it's not Mass Effect allover again... http://kotaku.com/5958061/the-assassins-creed-anthology-collects-altair-ezio-and-connors-games-all-in-one-big-package Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah I read that on IGN. Thing is though, you can buy the Assasins Creed 1 & 2 bundle for £14.99 on Zavvi, and I think Brotherhood and Revelations for £12.99/£14.99 each or something. Add on £40 for ACIII and you can get all games already for £80-£85! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither way, just like Cannand says, this would be nice to have available for Wii U somewhere next year, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No that wouldn't include any DLC, but that's not gonna cost you the additional £50! Also if you waited a bit ACIII would also come down in price, saving you even more.

Posted November 7, 2012 Good point I'm actually really looking forward to this game on Wii U and try not to get spoilered via the PC/PS3/360 versions. As that is hard enough, news like this is cracking my nerves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2012 Wii U Vs 360. Almost no difference: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2012 I have one question about this game, because i am going to buy this for my wii-U, but i want to know if they have done something different for the wii u, like they have done with other games, like batman etc etc, what can u do with the touchscreen? or is it exactly the same as the 360 version? (all the games that comes out, i am going to buy for the wii u) so i hope the new GTA will come out on the WII U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't heard of any Batman style integration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2012 Like Darksiders and Batman, IGN have not changed the review score from other versions, so it gets an 8.5 from them. http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2012/11/21/assassins-creed-iii-wii-u-review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 21, 2012 Gametrailers are starting a new feature called Re-Port (gettit?) that compares ports of multiplatform games. I think they were saving it so they could compare some of the Wii U games on release but I thought it was being published soon :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2012 Oh when I heard them mention that feature in Invisiable Walls I thought they said it was called Wii-Port! :p But yeah, looking forward to that, and what they say more specifically about the Wii U versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
