It's still responsive/reactive, but there are differences. Once you do a successful "counter", you get a choice between counter-kill, disarm, throw, or use tool (gun/rope dart/bow etc). You can also start chain kills, which was added in Brotherhood. Other than that, it's the same.

My only problem so far is Connor isn't as likeable as Ezio.
I wonder too. On my Boston map there's exactly one store, up in the north.

Wow at everyone who complained about the opening. Not only are the first three sequences already fun on their own, the story was awesome and the twist at the end of the third sequence was SO worth it.
This game is awfully start stop. I can't fathom why some of the missions are cut in such a way that requires you to start, walk five paces, and then launch into a cinematic, before giving you control, asking you to walk up a hill, and then launch you into ANOTHER cinematic.
I'm not sure playing this at the same time as Dishonored is doing the game any favors though. AC3 seems so in love with itself that you have to WRESTLE for control, Dishonored just lets you go about your business.

You kill it using only your fists. Oh, and forgive my inane exclamation of the obvious. These glitches tend to leave you feeling dumbstruck. And I should be making more highlights of the many glitches I ran into during my playthrough later this week.
I remember early in the game there was a mission that stopped for a cinematic... of someone nodding at you. Pointless.

I'm not feeling the stealth in this game and some of the missions I feel like the developers went for a "historically accurate" or "spectacular" way in detriment of gameplay.
The have as a lot of great things but also a lot of bad things, sadly, as much as I love the franchise, I'm not feeling the game as I wanted. The same happen to me with ACR and with the time I ended loving it, I hope it's the case with ACIII.

How can I read mails? I somehow can't find a way to open them.

Go to the real world and check one of the computers near the animus "chair".

..wait, sequence 8 is the final sequence? How the fuck is that even possible when the "real" game doesn't start until sequence 6?
From looking at the DNA screen in the options I thought there are like
12
€dit: yes,
12

I hate these stupid assassin's robes, is there a way to change your outfit back to what it was before? There are hardly any options to change the colours either. Lame.
He's pretty boring and his voice actor is awful.

Sequence 2, the part where
, and the problem? IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO FIRE ANY FUCKING GUN. IT WON'T EVEN ALLOW ME TO FUCKING MOVE FROM THAT PARTICULAR SPOT.
I was under the impression that pressing Triangle fired pistols/rifles but it IS NOT happening, whether I've got L1 depressed or not. In fact no buttons work. Is this a glitch that the patch didn't fix? WTF do I do to get past this?
Haysham needs to attack a bandit fort to retrieve something or other, right now the game's got me stuck at a part where it expects me to shoot some powder kegs to blow open a door

There's 12, but it seems like the story is starting to wind down now. It's at the point where I can imagine how the game is going to end Connor-wise... whether I'm right or not is another story altogether I guess.

Well, the game just locked up on me. While dropping a fucking lantern to the ground. Lotsa calculations needed there, of course.
Yeah i had that issue too, for all the hand holding in the first few missions they miss out glaring prompts like where the fuck to shoot those barrels and i didnt even remember what was shoot at the start and it doesnt fucking tell you. As i say for all the hand holding those few things jumped out as obvious things the game should tell you.
Well my rig is high-end, but I'm hoping someone can post some screenshots of AC3 on the console then hopefully I can make a decision.

The first three sequences feel rushed and you have no clue as to how and why you are doing things.
Until the ending of sequence 3. That sure was a shocker. Great job by Ubisoft there.
How were the other AC games, any problems when they came out on PC?
yeah probably will wait.

Coming from someone who hates online play, Wolfpack is a lot of fun. Had a couple 25 sequence runs with some randoms last night and it was a blast. Quad multikills galore. Almost finished with the mp trophies after one night. Well done Ubi. The performance of the MP on PS3 is great too.
Same here, just finished chapter 10 and I'm beginning to actively dislike him.

Well, I have changed my tune about this game, but only because the side content is actually really fun and it's the only thing I've been doing in this game.
I don't think you can go into this game actually even expecting AC2 or Brotherhood but a game that is more side-quest driven (and the first AC game to even have enjoyable sidequest). AC3 is it's own animal and I can appreciate it for what it is. Naval engagement are a well done diversion, and doing random challenges actually give you abilities to try the new features.
Yeah, there are a lot of design flaws, yet the sheer amount of content was worth the admission price or at least a long rental.
Still, the bugs have broke so many missions that to some who want a semblance of polish won't really find it in this game. You'll literally see a bug every 2 minutes.

So I beat the game with only 1 artisan, did all possible side stuff but more never showed up?
Finishing the game has definitely changed my opinion of it. Its better than 1 but isn't near as good as 2, Brotherhood or Revelations. Alot of wasted potential.

In each city, do all the viewpoints. Go to the maps and find on the liberation missions. After you do all of them for that area one more mission shows up, and that's the recruit mission.

I had this nightmare inducing bug where I picked up a powder keg and the screen went brown and the most horrible sounds from the very pit of hell came out of my speakers as loud as possible.

spent a few hours in my favorite multiplayer mode, Wanted. Some fantastic and clever changes to the mp gameplay.
-Stun button is now same as a kill button, preventing people from spamming stun
-there's a few second kill cooldown timer, so if you make a mistake and you're target is nearby, you're likely to get stunned
-You have three active abilities instead of two, and one of them is a 'ranged attack'
-just like single player, no face button required for free running
-'money bomb' is a fantastic early level surrogate for smoke bonb - basically clears a blended group from NPCs revealing any player characters and without taking away control
-whispering is much easier to 'hear', whatever they did to sound design, its much easier to gauge how near your pursuer is.

Totally agree with all these. I swear I never heard any whispers in Rev. Getting rid of the need for a face button for free running is also probably my favorite change for SP and MP in 3.
