Assassin's Creed III

[Andy]

Whenever I play this, and then go play c-rpg, it makes me really miss the parkour aspects of it. I always find myself wanting to swing around a pole, or vault a wall in c-rpg momentarily before remembering that I can not. What are your opinions of Assassin's Creed III, and how it compares to Warband/c-rpg?

I'm enjoying it quite a bit.  Best AC game I've played.

Don't really think it is in any way comparable to M&B though, heh.

Oh, FRIGGIN NAVAL BATTLES ARE AWESOME.

I loved the first one, the second one was objectively better but lacked the magic, haven't played any AC after that.

First AC was awesomesauce cause it was new and fresh
Second was good
Brothahood kinda same old same old
Revelations...just please staph
...I havent played 3 yet cause I dont own a console and somehow I fear I will hate it

Also I found this awesome song

AC is one of the few game franchises which I think gets significantly better with subsequent game releases. Haven't tried AC3 yet and will probably buy it towards the end of the month.

Fixed. Its getting better with each release yes, but id say the progress is slow as ass. Those 3 games that told Ezios story were basically the same shit with minimal improvements but different locations and story. I think I would have been pissed if I acctually bought all of them.

PS: There is also AC for the handheld consoles that speak bit of Altairs story, if anyone is interested.

Anyone tried the Multi?  I assume it's more of the same.

[TurmoilTom]

At the end of the game it's revealed that the assassin is George Washington and he drops a dollar bill with his face on it in front of the last target before he kills him.

Or at least that's how I want to imagine how the game will end.

Ubisoft's pushing the AC series too far. Next one will surpass us in time at this rate...

[DarkFox]

AC could become my one of the most favourite series. But game difficulty destroys it all. I cant even call it casual, its godmode. And devs dont want to give players option to choose difficulty level because of some stupid principle.

A lot of games have been ruined by easy modes," he said. "If you have a cover shooter and you switch it to easy and you don't have to use cover, you kind of broke your game.

Funny thing is, AC was this ruined kind of games. Almost perfect game destroyed for me because of difficulty. Why using stealth, why running away and having cool chase on roofs, why using all this badass assassin equipment if you can just...kill everything?

Reminds me of Hitman 2.
I guess the answer to your question would be simple - for fun. Can't judge though cause i haven't played it yet. Gotta agree that AC series in general lack challenge and variety when it comes to actual assassinations and missions.
