Calling him fat? That's not very nice!

I know. I actually read that as "are you a fat POS?"

 

[OmegaZero]

BECAUSE NOONE ELSE WILL.

 

[jambo]

gf just texted me to say she had a missed call from EB, she's trying to ring them back but can't get through. Might be ACIII time tonight.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Game is up on Redbox...

Thanks for the codes Wario!

 

[foladar]

Does anyone know if this game will pop up as "Available" at RedBox after midnight tonight? I'd love to give it a rent....

They usually take 1-3 days here (in Orlando) to load up the games after release.

Anyone think a nice BBY will PM the $50 price and $10 coupon (for $40) on Ass Creed ?

Technically they aren't suppose to, but who knows what they'll do.

Is it actually available in your region though? Maybe the Orlando reps are slow to put the game into the box.

edit: Yep it's at some select Redboxes, found some in Miami but none up here.

No sexy time tonight, then?

EB called me as well to tell me about their mid night launch. I was hoping for early release.

Not at my local one, yet. T_T

RE6 was there at midnight on the button, though. So, I can't really speak for all of em.

Yeah, it should be there within 2-3 days max. Depends on the local Redbox person.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

No AC3 on redbox in NYC.

I'll brave the hurricane to go buy a copy tomorrow if the damn amazon cant get me my copy. Still not shipped, but delivery estimate is today.

 

[Squire]

Story question (intro): Is that

Spoiler

Michael fucking Fassbender?!?!

 

[keltickennedy]

Sorry to hear about people not being able to get the game.

Haha. No.

 

[Effect]

I don't think there has ever been an AC demo.

Thanks. A shame.

 

[Dead]

Got my copy

Installing now

Dat Gamestop branding right on the box...

 

[Dead]

Okay, so I just got back (more like 30 minutes ago) from Gamestop's midnight launch of this game.
1. I bought the Xbox 360 version and it too has that awful banner at the top saying that it is "GAMESTOP EDITION". Luckily I have one of those steelbook cases from when I pre-ordered months ago so I swiftly switched everything to that.
2. The "manual" that comes with the game is pathetic. It is nothing more than a single tri-fold piece of paper giving safety info and promoting the season pass.

Sadly, I wont be able to play till tonight as I have to wake up early and have a big day.

Where have you been?

This manual actually has more stuff in it than Brotherhood and Revelations lol

 

[The Lamp]

lol Redbox only offers the first disc of AC3 X360. Why not let you play multiplayer? :l

A code is required.

 

[The Lamp]

A code is required.

Wait...what? You need a "multiplayer pass" to play multiplayer games on the 360 now too (I'm aware it's probably given in new copies)? On top of LIVE? WTF

 

[AGITΩ]

Holding off till Wii U version is out, but since I we had left over Midnight Release Swag, I gots my coin. Ones mine, the other I'm holding for a Coworker since there was literally one left.

 

[John Harker]

Um, does anyone else think the conversation with Ben Franklin and

Spoiler

Haythem

about the joys of sex with older women to seriously be one of the most entertaining conversations they've ever heard in a video game?

I was enthralled the entire time. Hot damn.

Spoiler is not a spoiler if you've played the game for 10 min, but don't read if your sensitive to those kinds of things.

This has become the new standard, and has been going on for quite a while. No surprise here.

I thought that garbage had remained on the PS3. Not happy to hear that it's spreading :/

It was never confined to the PS3 to begin with...

Yea not sure what hes talking about. Online passes have always pertained to the specific game, not the console.

 

[jet1911]

Jsut made it to Boston, played just one hour. the framerate is all over the place and I ha d a cutscene where one of the character mouth did not move when talking. It was a bit creapy lol

 

[M.W.]

I won't be diving in until tomorrow at this time. I'm a bit jealous. Keep the impressions coming!

Coins!? There were coins!?

That is cool. Goddammit.

 

[MattDoza]

Do they usually stock the Redbox kiosks this late? Like, at or shortly after midnight?

 

[razgriz417]

Watching my roomie play the ps3 version, is it just me or does Desmond's face look off? Looks too long to me

Just got mine from Redbox. Braved the storm and lingering prostitutes at 2AM.

They changed his look.

 

[Collider]

I heard he looks like a monkey in AC3.

 

[razgriz417]

Ah been on a media blackout since the July 4 trailer, yeah I guess I'll get used to it after a while

I heard he looks like a monkey in AC3.

Yeah I can totally see it

 

[M.W.]

Tomorrow at noon.

Weird. Bad sign?

 

[Brick]

lol What is this from?

 

[legbone]

my dumb ass is a little confused on how to redeem the multiplayer and gamestop bonus codes. i don't understand why they can't make it as simple as entering it into the marketplace from the redeem code thing where you get points and most bonus stuff. anyone want to explain to me how to redeem these. is it on their website or somewhere in the game?

In the game main menu with under additional content

 

[Lingitiz]

I think Brotherhood had a similar launch day embargo and that was the best reviewed game in the series.

 

[adamsapple]

Yeah, his facial features seem way too extended "outwards" if that makes sense.

 

[M.W.]

It was posted earlier in the thread. I have no idea. But, it makes me laugh every time.

 

[legbone]

thanks, i haven't started the game up yet, just wanted to be prepared. really wish companies would just use the dashbord redeem code thing.

 

[Collider]

No, It wasn't Brohood which was best reviewed. It was AC2.

Smosh music video on Assassin's Creed III. To be on-topic, I hope the whole beginning isn't as drawn out as it seems.

 

[dreamfall]

All these PC players are caving! Fuck, I may join too...

What's the word on the PS3 performance? And have we seen any PC footage? Even a short video clip could help assuage porting fears...
