It's true, i'm trying to find that GAF thread, hold on.
Edit:
Oh wow, didn't know that.
So, is it better than AC 3?
I got it, just couldn't wait.
This. I am waiting at least a month or so before even thinking about getting it. After a month most reviews will have probably come in (at least enough objective ones), and then I can decide to get it for 25 euros on ps3
I was planning on waiting until I got my PS4 next year because I have not really been in the mood for another Assassin's Creed, but am considering getting it for PS3 after watching some of a walkthrough. It looks much better than III.

Excited for the game, but definitely waiting for next gen.
Strange, on 360 the framerate is better than AC 3.
Yep, this is exactly what I'm thinking.
Well, looks like I won't be able to finish the game. The new stealth system works very nicely, so of course they put more and more stealth missions in the game. Too bad I'm utterly terrible (I *mean* it, the Zelda TWW stealth stuff was difficult for me...) and I'm completely stuck at this one mission. And there is no pass system like GTA5, so basically I'm done with the game. If one of you guys is playing/reviewing the game, feel free to PM me, it's about the
(super mild spoiler).
mission after the Kidd stuff at that far away location
So what is the score?
Sucks you can't get past it but could you give some details on how the new stealth works?

You can actually rate the missions and send feedback directly to Ubisoft. :')
This is my experience thus far as well.

Absolutely. But it works now, thanks to the lush vegetation
AC3 tried to introduce it, but the fact that you couldn't really hide made it irrelevant. It really feels great when you manage to go from enemies to enemies (killing them or not) without being spotted.I dutifully 1-star every stealth heavy missions

Any info in the box on how the PS4 upgrade is handled? Is it linked to the online pass, or is it a separate code?

Don't ruin it for the rest of us. Stealth is awesome, learn it.

Yeah, the PS3/360/WiiU/PC versions are going to drop to $39.99 on Black Friday (11/29), at least at Gamestop. The supply in the past AC BF sales has been plentiful, especially when you consider price-matching.
If you can't wait until Black Friday, Redbox is getting it in for the PS3/360 for $2/day. If it's anything like with renting AC3, all you'd be missing out on are: the Online Pass, the PS3-exclusive content (Aveline DLC missions), and Multiplayer for the 360 version (Due to it containing only Disc 1).
Well, you can 5-star them yourself
Anyway, I finally managed to pass that mission, took me at least 10 trials. Meh.

I am. I won't be buying a PS4 until the spring, and AC games aren't anything that would make me consider buying one at launch. Just gonna play it and forget about it. Everything I want to play for the next five months is going to be on current gen consoles. No reason to upgrade yet.
Wut? can you go into detail or are you under embargo?
Well I just got the game early yesterday so I suppose not?
Then 3 hours later
hmmmFINALLY, get to my cousins house....hooked up all 4HDMI's (thanks for HDCP sony and thank goodness for splitters that work.)
I'm deleting his game and probably going to record the first 15 minutes or so.
What kind of links are accepted for the RAW capture from the elgato?
I'll gladly upload it
LETS DO THIS!!!!
Awesome, can you list some pro's and con's? what you like and what not? what platform are you on?
Man this game is ugly as fuck.

A few questions for those that could answer... even if you don't have the game.
- Is the optional objectives that destroyed AC3 still there? Listed out and marked in red when you fail?
- Is there a crouch button? Or a context sensitive crouch? (I don't mean vegetation stealth)
- is hunting lock on still? Or does it encourage free-aim?
Thanks for any answers!

Sure I'm on the 360. (Which has 2 discs btw)
First of all the graphics are pretty good for current gen consoles, the weather effects and such are a sight to behold when you're on your on ship. Sometimes I just stop sailing just to look around. That brings me to my second point, the ship is alot of fun to use now compared to AC3, it's far better developed and the songs the sailors sing during the journeys are a nice touch.
The city gameplay is really just more of the same, havana sure is a nice looking city though with its vibrant colours. The framerate is also generally good on the 360, haven't noticed huge drops in framerate like in Boston or NY in AC3. The combat seems a bit more difficult aswell, it seems that the enemies do alot more damage than before.
The 1st person gameplay in abstergo seems kinda useless right now, don't know if it will develop further in the game..
You want to know anything else?
I find them rather good but I guess my expectations aren't as high for a current gen game that is really big.
Sounds good, thank you sir.
Better than AC2?

It is a separate code, you will have to pay 9,99 and have the PS3 disc in the PS4 to play the game. Has to be redeemed by January something 2014.
Have not played a lot yet, I surely will after work! The game on the open seas is pretty beautiful (in an artistic way, IQ is shit), in a big city it looks mudded and runs at a terrible framerate tho. I have only visited a single island yet, but damn - this world is massive and I actually liked exploring an uncharted island. Stealth is better as there is more foliage to hide in and shit, other mechanics are just as shit as ever however.
Hard to say I think nostalgy clouds my vision somewhat.. The story in AC2 was better though because there really isn't alot of it right now.

I'm a bit burned out on the AC -franchise, but the ( pirate ) setting is drawing me in... I'm definitely getting this for the PS4, though.
Yeah that's probably best if you have the willpower for it.Thanks.I'll probably wait to get it for ps4 then.

You probably can't answer it yet, but when you get closer to the ending, can you let us know how the story's going? How's the historical stuff? How shitty is the present day stuff?
* I will be grabbing the PS4 version
