I should have had this up yesterday considering I had completed it for a while but I was sick.
If yall care I wrote a review for AC3 which tops out at 2700ish words. It divulges in the many problems that I had with the game.

Is the preorder bonus stuff from Best Buy any good?

Am in Sequence 5. My thoughts so far:
-Tree climbing is so much fun
-Both cities and wilderness look beautiful
-Hunting is kind of cool I guess
-I like Connor so far
-Combat is garbage, even compared to past games
-As usual, getting around the city is frustrating as fuck because there are spaces you can't cross between buildings, guys on rooftops that you either have to kill or go ten minutes to get around, etc.
-How the fuck are there so many glitches? Enemies and NPCs getting stuck EVERYWHERE
Overall, I'm really disappointed. The jump between ACI and II was so great I think everyone was expecting the same from II to III. If Bhood and Revelations hadn't come between, I might have been more willing to forgive the lack of interesting new things and general jank, but I'm getting really sick of putting up with this crap in these games, especially considering how many people are working on them.
This doesn't feel like anymore of a sequel than Brotherhood was so far. I'd reserve judgment until I was further, but comments in this thread suggest it doesn't get much better than this. It just seems clear to me that becoming a yearly franchise is quickly killing AC, so I don't think I'm going to be buying future installments.

Locating all the fast travel entrances in [location spoiler?]
is really fun, I'm really digging this game so far. Combat's easier than it's ever been (counter, stab, repeat), and I kinda like the lock picking. I think for chests you have to really mash the RT.
Not a big fan of having to uncover areas even after finding Synch Points.

I thought the combat in AC2 and AC:B was fun enough - and don't like the combat in AC3 as much, but it's very similar.
Also I really miss being able to upgrade your health meter and all of the little RPG elements from previous games. I feel like the conor that I finished the game with was exactly the same as the conor you start out with, with no progression at all in terms of his capabilities.

I miss that, too. You can't buy any armor for him, either. I guess it makes sense, considering the timeline, but I still kinda miss it.
But you're getting that awesome Encyclopedia edition right?! I want to hear your impressions on that! I really wanted to get it, but I waited, got indecisive and just picked it up!

I'm mostly avoiding the thread for spoilers and such, but I needed to pop in and say you should all be reading the Animus entries for people, events and such, they're fairly amusing.

i couldn't wait, looks pretty good at times but performance is all over the place and really distracting for me.
im gonna play until i can do the benedict arnold stuff, hop into multiplayer for a bit, and carry on with PC.

Just kidding, I probably would've had trouble, too.
Agreed, it's just a weird game. Really fun sometimes, but it can quickly turn into something incredibly frustrating.

I really like this game. An interesting setting, lots of neat details (petting animals <3) and my favorite must be the spoken language in the game. Lots of different dialects, interesting choices of words etc.

aww man, i cant play another 6 sequences like this.
i should probably stop playing and youtube it later
I'm gonna second this EXCEPT for reading Kaniehti:io's file. Reading Kaniehti:io's file will ruin Sequence 3 for you. Wait till you beat it.

I am in the same boat the frame rate is very distracting for me. I am playing ps3 version.
I'm on Sequence 2 at the moment.
Really enjoying the game so far. It's slow going but I've been quite happy to sit through the journey while the game does it's thing, and get to grips with the actual game when it wants me to. Particularly impressed with the overall presentation and character of the game so far.
I suspect I'm going to enjoy this. Not having played ANY Assassins Creed since somewhere around the middle of the first game probably helps, but this feels great to me so far.

Some of the tutorial prompts are so confusing, during sequence 2 when
you have to grab a human shield, it just says press "A", I'm pressing A and nothing happened so I got shot up lol.

You know, I was just thinking to myself that William walks awfully close to the edge when talkin to Desmond. What if one of them falls off?

They get me every time with the PC version. They say it's coming out same day as console in all the trailers and then week before their like "nope" one month later. I always knew I just chose to hope. Waiting is the hardest part

Not really a spoiler but don't highlight if you want to know nothing about the game.
You have to beat every Liberation Mission in the area until you get 90% Assassin influence. Then do the contract mission. It's super tedious and a really annoying aspect about the game.

That's what I'm doing currently. Rented it on PS3, and will do a full-on playthrough on PC.

Ah, thanks for that. It really seems like a chore more then anything.
I played it in 3d on a 90 inch beamer screen, better than expected! Looks nice and runs as well as 2d i think. I didnt really compare if they use worse textures or anything, but i was happy with the 3d presentation.

I just started today is there a point in shooting the musket? It's like I rather have my pistol and sword in hand.
I love the sword and hand to hand combat, tell me the gun controls get better please.
It's like the controls got resident evil'd

Yup, I'm grabbing that one. I'll post some shots and stuff if there's actual decent new stuff.
But Goddammit Ubi, I'm never ordering from you again if you have to make me wait!
Sequence 3: Sabotage the Canons, steal the map. Try it 8 times the straight foreward way, get noticed everytime because anytime I hit RT, it sticks the dude to a bit of wood. Decide to try a different approach, attack the farther canon first, use the heybail as cover while the guard walks by. Everytime I dive into a hay bail, it automatically ejects me out into the guard.
FUCK YOU GAME. I'm done. That's bullshit.

Why you just choke them? Is that really that hard?
I did that mission in one try. Not sure what your issue is.

Eh, it isn't the game's fault that you don't understand the way detection works.
Oh no, I get it. If the game would do what I want it to, there would be no issue. But literally, I go into the hay bail, the guard starts to walk past me, I have no fingers on any buttons and the BAIL ejects me out into the guard, mission failed. WHY?!?
My god, I thought we were past these silly glitches.
There's a secondary bonus for doing it without killing anyone.

But I read that choking people out doesn't count as a kill?

i admit I was getting frustrated with this too.
the game kept starting to eavesdrop when i didn't want it to. then they would start to walk away when i was trying to take care of the guards/cannons. I finally got through it by hugging the walls and taking out all the guards first then eavesdrop from the roof of the building in the center of the fort.
I have that problem too with the hay stacks. It's almost as if the sticks are way to sensitive, any slight touch and my character will jump back out.
the sequence ends if you kill anyone, that's why you have your fists equipped. your allowed to choke them out.
It doesn't. So he should be fine.
