Diageo Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Who gets in the animus in Liberations? And how are they connected to Desmond if at all?
Magnus Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 I'm pretty sure it's a descendant of the main character, who pays Abstergo to relive the memories of her ancestor. Something like that. Those extra animuses aren't just for multiplayer anymore! Anyway, that thing Cube said about the reviews is funny when the two most positive reviews on Metacritic call it "as fully featured as any console game" and "another excellent console-style release", but I guess it's more fun to generalize. I really like this backhanded compliment from another review, though: It's not the revolution we were hoping for, bit it's easily the best portable Creed fix yet.

canand Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 The join or die edition is £50 in the GAME online sale. I got that one at when I picked up my Wii U at the Game Midnight launch
tapedeck Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Got this for Christmas. Absolute stunner of a game and full of variety (so far)...which feels better than AC 1/2. Hopefully it keeps the variety up. Also - another plus for off-screen play. Brilliant.
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Just started this, still on the bloke who isn't Connor at the moment. Still having a few problems with the controls. Shooting is an absolute bitch, you have to be within a certain distance to shoot? The fuck!?
markderoos Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I finished the game and only used my gun once Are you reffering to that part where you have to use a weapon on the ground and shoot some barrels or something like that? Because that was the only part in the game where I got stuck and had to start that mission over

markderoos Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 At the beginning with Hatham when you're escorting that chest back and you have to shoot the people on the roof. Hmmm, don't seem to remember that part strangely enough
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Hmmm, don't seem to remember that part strangely enough You have to get someone's chest back and on the way back you come under fire. The two NPC's cower behind a wagon whilst you have to take out the makeshift snipers. I quite like Haytham. He's an assassin with class. I'm gonna miss him when I have to use Connor.
Magnus Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I think everyone missed Haytham when they had to start using Connor.

Ah, now I remember! I just assassinated those bandits the fun way No firearms for me, except for ye ol' bow And true, Haytham is a more polished and interesting character than Connor. But in the end, I understand why they went this way
yesteryeargames Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 spoiler ? i just started playing is that english dude gonna die ?
Magnus Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Not much of a spoiler if you don't even know if he's going to die or not. Connor being the main character has been known pretty much since they announced the game.
markderoos Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 You haven't noticed the guy on the front of the game?
tapedeck Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Really loving this game now. The vast woodlands feel like Skyrim in places and I love the boat segments. Having played all other AC's, delighted this is on Wii U. I also think the homestead is a great break from the main story arc and just enjoy poaching in the woods and taking in the freedom the game offers. The educational aspects of this game have also grabbed me as it is more relevant to British history so I've been fascinated by all of the content. Great game for off TV play too!
Diageo Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 There's new DLC for the console and PC versions of this game coming out around now. Is the WiiU version getting any?
tapedeck Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 No news as of yet, although I'm sure Ubi have said it would come to all platforms.
Shorty Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 spoiler ? i just started playing is that english dude gonna die ? The stories of the characters from the past in AC don't end when they die, they end when they do the dirty, because that's the last part of the memory passed on through the genes. The fact you change character doesn't tell you anyone's going to die... although it does hint at something else......
Oxigen_Waste Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Help me out here, guys... A buddy of mine is selling his copy of AC3 for a very tempting price, however... as much as I loved AC2, I gave up on Brotherhood 15 hours in due to how similar it was to AC2. I know Revelations is also very similar to 2, but what about AC3? Is there a clear difference/significant innovation or is this just more of the same?
Magnus Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 You can hunt and there are naval missions, and obviously the setting is different, but the core gameplay is the same.
tapedeck Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I think the setting makes this stand out more than the previous iterations. Probably depends on if you like the context of the game. also- DLC confirmed.
Diageo Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I think the core gameplay is altered enough that people who played the rest of the games need a bit of time to get used to it, but not drastic enough that they don't know what to do.
Kagato Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 I just finally started playing for real the other night, a friend gave away the massive spoiler about the guy you start as so its going to lose some of its effect on me now lol. Ive been playing it in stereoscopic 3D and it really adds to the game, when the storm hits the ship in the first bit of the game and the waves are crashing around as you climb the mast i genuinely had my heart thumping away as i progressed. A lot of the 3D is fairly subtle, things like the depth of field in the Aniums as its loads sequences is fun to watch but it does sting your eyes a bit each time it does that white flash between loads. Ive heard a lot of negative things about it but im still having a lot of fun, that said ive only just landed in the Americas so anything could happen between now and the end...
