Hype! This will probably be my 2012 game of the year.

 

[MYE]

I believe Connor keeps it down the entire time he is in the homestead, but I don't whether or not you can leave it down in the actual cities or not.

Only on the homestead.

Ah, oh well. At least its not limited to cutscenes

 

[mjc]

The retailer exclusive side missions kind of bug me. I'm not sure whether to get this at GS or Best Buy.

 

[Manathen]

Soooo hyped! Pre-ordered Freedom Edition. Soon my figurine collection will be complete...

Was not at all hyped for this (suffered a bit from franchise fatigue with Revelations) until I saw that you could free-run on trees and the fact that seasons affect gameplay.

^^ and the updated combat. Love how you can just beat the crap out of a enemy with your bare hands if you wanted to.

 

[Zapages]

Is the gamestop limited edition worth pre-ordering guys... As we all know that by end of year it will be found for 40 dollars some place?

I want the Flag... It looks so epic...

Can't decide. Help me decide here.

PS: I won't get good amount of time to play it until November or Winter break in December.

 

[Nori Chan]

I like my OT's long and full of info. I came in here disappointed.

Anyways, can't wait for this game. Just got the LE yesterday

Too bad I didn't get the steel book

 

[petethepanda]

I can't believe the Ubiworkshop edition doesn't come with the Washington journals or any of the missiony pre-order stuff. At this point the only thing you gain from this version is cool packaging, otherwise you could just buy the game from a retailer with preorder missions and buy the encyclopedia v2 separately for the same damn price.

(I guess you do get the comic collection for "free" with this edition, but if the quality of the comics is anywhere near the quality of Embers... I'm not too interested lol)

I'm not one to ever pimp deviantart, but that person's gallery also has some other ridiculously high-quality game art from Diablo 3, Devil May Cry, etc. Crazy good stuff.

[DualShadow]

Can't believe it's only a week away, so pumped!

 

[~Kinggi~]

I better still be getting my tin case Amazon special. That thing stopped being available a long time ago. My order redirects to a page for it that doesnt even mention the tin anymore.

 

[DarkWish]

Played AC 1 and 2 on friend's systems since I only had Wii this gen. So I'm super excited to finally own an AC game, will be getting this on Wii U. Too bad I gotta wait until November 18th!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Great OT, but I'm gonna miss the epic OTs of old... a great age is ending. Great OT nevertheless.

But I'm super excited for this. Really hoping the UbiWorkshop edition I ordered reaches me on the day.

 

[OmegaZero]

Who is making the Liberation OT?

That would be me.

 

[enzo_gt]

Amazing OT. So glad it loads in seconds this time instead of hours like the last AC one.

 

[one_kill]

My local store had the Connor statue you get with the Freedom Edition of the game and it looks pretty awesome. I'm so glad I preordered the edition.

Anyway, I can't wait. A week and a day left!

 

[Amir0x]

Man this is another beautiful, easy to read OT. I'm liking these new thread guidelines so much

 

[PinkCrayon]

7 daaaays! Can't wait!

 

[commish]

Hmmm, which version, which version. I have the PS3 version preordered...

 

[Socreges]

Loved ACII, but am not totally confident that the sum of ACIII's parts will be all that great. Any indication on the game's overall quality or are we only going by trailers at this point?

I think I recall one of the creators saying something like he doesn't think Asia is interesting enough for a AC game, and of course people were not happy. Maybe it will still happen.

By the way Japan and China are great, but Korea also has an interesting history and culture, and it would be more interesting to play because most people have already seen so much about China and Japan but so little about Korea.

For great inspiration I recommend they watch Korean TV show "Slave Hunters ( AKA Chuno)" it's about slave hunters who capture runaway slaves for money and the consequences of that, it has excellent fight scenes, AMAZING soundtrack, scenery and style with a deep historical political culture to get inspiration from including royalty and assassins. Actually in the game the main character could be a runaway slave to make things more interesting

OK post got too long.

 

[lolez2matt]

I have never finished AC1... Gues i should start now....

Uggggg

Skip and start with 2. Got bored with AC around like the 7th or 8th kill, never finished, played 2 and loved it.

This seems to be the general consensus.

Not all of Asia, just feudal japan. I wouldn't be surprised to see China at some point.

 

[dragonflys545]

AC3 Liberation bundle paid in full and AC3 pre-ordered from best buy! I'm freaking ready!

 

[CrazyDude]

*SPOILER WARNING*

Part 1 of AC3/

n/v taken down.

I did see that you

Spoiler

You play as Connor's dad at the start and he was climbing in a theater and it looked like this one.

 

[~Kinggi~]

When do reviews release?

 

[Spazznid]

I have never finished AC1... Gues i should start now....

Uggggg

2 is better, and Brotherhood better still (if you're like me and hate all the boring filler that came with 2).

I do, however reccomend beating it. The ending sucked for it's time, but in context with 2, it's great, IMO.

 

[meta4]

Reviewer friend. He says it's not exactly his favorite entry in the series. Or the best, for that matter.

Not good to hear considering that the best in the series is not OMG amazing in the first place. Had high hopes for this.

[AgentChris]

Great OT. I gotta pre-order the PS3 version soon.

 

[Scapegoat]

Uggggg

I recently replayed AC1, thought it was great. Just make sure too only do the minimum number of investigation tasks for each assassination.

If you don't really enjoy the base gameplay loop in the first game I'd suggest just youtubing the cutscenes, they aren't very long in AC1.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Game looks so good. Looking forward to the full reviews and impressions

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

My hype levels are reaching critical mass. Must hold out for superior PC version...

 

[Zapages]

So guys, is the AC3: Limited edition worth the buy?

 

[Spazznid]

I don't know if this has been linked, but I remember there being some fishy site or something talking about abstergo making Liberation as propaganda or something. Well, just have a look at this...

Ah yes I remember now.

 

[DrBo42]

you can always go back and read it for fun wario

bagged the digital deluxe edition from amazon with that code for $49, which is like £30. pretty chuffed

Try to control yourself this time when the game leaks.

Edit: Assuming you're who I think you are.

Dunno if this was posted, but it's pretty awesome. Live action short film.

For those who want a recap with some new info about Desmond timeline, check this:

They have there a more general timeline too, it's worth the time. Of course the explore section it's full of spoilers from past games.

Thnx haven't seen this. I'm planning on playing through Liberation before I jump into AC3.

 

[Amagon]

I hope their better be a satisfying payoff at the end of this game or I'm gonna throw shit at Ubisoft offices.

Requiescat in pace Assassins's Creed Revelations OT

FTFY

Combat was actually very impressive.

 

[zkylon]

I wish Ubi put up a nice Steam sale for Revelations one of these days, so I could catch up. Something like $10.

Then again, I'm probably not gonna play two AC games in one month...

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Any last minute deals for 360? Just finished Revelations and I am stoked!

Just finished AC2, then plowed through AC:B, and am well on my way in AC:R. so far the damage is about one week, or probably 14 hours, depending on how you look at it. Hard-ish finding the time to play, working as I do. I got AC:R and AC:B during the Steam summer sale .

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - 7.49 USD
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - 12.49 USD

The crappy Uplay Launcher is required, but it's effect is minimal and the fact that you can unlock DLC by earning achievements is awesome. *Cough* Steam *Cough*

Wait for winter sale. It might hit less than 10 USD.
