Does anyone tell me how to shoot a gun? Lol I'm in the beginning and new to this franchise

mphares244 8 pts

Does anyone else have a of glitches in their game? Playing on Xbox.

Shabo883 7 pts

@mphares244 I have glitches and playing on ps3 but it doesn't take away from the game unless its unplayable glitches

TruSake 63 pts

i don't know, seems more confusing and pointless than ACII... That's why I love the first one, great plot, and simple gameplay. AC is dead to me.

Lockjaw2000 41 pts

 TruSake Yeah, the AC series has become the CoD of adventure games.  They release a new one every year.  Am I the only one that sees that?  lol 8.5 might actually be a bit too high honestly, this game got a lot of hype but...I don't know, it doesn't look like anything special.  Homestead looks like AC2 stuff, and hunting should've been spread out more, and WHY the heck would they allow you to buy stuff in multiplayer?  Stupid.

Shabo883 7 pts

@Lockjaw2000 @TruSake this is mainly a single player game, to complain about multiplayer is dumb and irreverent

Atzenkiller 10 pts

 Shabo883 

 but still there is multiplayer in this game so why shouldn't he complain?

Shabo883 7 pts

@Atzenkiller because its a choice to play, the main focus is the single player, cod games are focus more on multiplayer than single player.

Kendojin 7 pts

 TruSake You must be easily confused then

Nikosnik123 8 pts

I started to play the game yesterday it looks good I have to play further on to draw an opinion. From the rest of the sequel I played though it looks improved 8.5 I think is reasonable enough

It's weird that Kevin complains about RE6 because of the QTEs, and yet Assassins Creed 3 doesn't have any of that complaint even though it has even more QTEs.

 

Yes, Assassins Creed 3 has QTEs too, I am serious. One false button press and you are dead.

darkanimne 14 pts

 Kaz32 QTEs are good when are well made in games, RE6 just used them too much for nothing.

Kaz32 57 pts

 darkanimne Hohoho, you don't know anything.

THIS is what you call using QTEs too much for nothing. RE6 doesn't even have one in Chris's campaign, only Leon, Jake and Ada have them, but they are just "spin your joystick" and press x and o. It's minimum compared to that game that I just posted that requires you to FLICK INTO A DIRECTION USING THE THUMBSTICK. That's just plain annoying to do.

To tell u the truth I've been playing it for last couple hours and I'm confused as hell with what's going on. First bunch of sequences after landing in Boston have screwy and jumpy, glitchy as all hell. I really don't care for gameplay at this point in time, playing on....

DerekXSpence 9 pts

Can't interact with f&£? all, nuttin!

theslovakian38 49 pts

since this saga continues in time, does that mean we will see a present day and even futuristic assassins creed? if thats the case, its a definte buy for me

MCdom10 8 pts

Got this game yesterday, its amazing. Gamespot gave 8.5 but i think it deserves better.

Kaz32 57 pts

 MCdom10 Unfortunately, the glitches in the game hinders the score. Even I have to admit that they are annoying.

WheelerJared 137 pts

 Kaz32  MCdom10 The only glitches I've seen so far are small things that don't bother me. Like this horse was vibrating. Which was just funny. So I of course hopped on the horse to give Connor a good time. ;)

Kaz32 57 pts

 WheelerJared  That jiggling horse, people appear out of nowhere, weapons float in midair, and dogs melt to the ground. Pretty bad, but I persevere and I just finish playing as Connors father. I played him for 6 hours because he is so badass. He is a templar, but he's the friendliest templar I have ever seen.

Aaarrrggggghhh , I can't destroy this game, it's so damn good, aaaarrrgggghhhh

I could never get into the assassins creed series , they are entertaining games don't get me wrong but they just don't go anywhere interesting , soon as you get all of your equipment the games becomes to easy and fun begins to wear off.  

tchanah 18 pts

Expect much more cool stuff with PC release!! 

RenVeto 9 pts

 tchanah the old AC games on the pc weren't that great  

tchanah 18 pts

 RenVeto Well seems like you have played some other AC than what I did. I had a awesome experience with brother hood and Revelation!!!! 

RenVeto 9 pts

 tchanah i hap problems with all the ac games on pc so know i play them on ps3 

CyberLips 193 pts

There's nothing wrong with the score , the problem is the hype before the game that gets everybody excited and then disappointed when it gets a score lower than 9. 

AmirLegend23 35 pts

Why ubisoft made AC3 with lagging gltiches and BUGS LOL!

ezfryk 15 pts

 AmirLegend23 just to piss loyal fans off i guess...lol

gameking5000 33 pts

There's a new assassins creed every year now and given how big the game is there isn't exactly much time to spend polishing up.

23Jarek23 178 pts

 gameking5000  AmirLegend23 AC3 has been in development for 3 years. The sequels to Ezio were developed by a separate team. 

Lockjaw2000 41 pts

 23Jarek23  gameking5000  AmirLegend23 If that were the case, then there shouldn't be as many glitches.  People always come up with the excuse "Oh it's a big game" but seriously...it's getting old.  Bethesda's rpg's have the same glitches in every game, and no one notices it because it's a Bethesda game and it automatically receives a high rating.

Another accomplished on the one hand, yet completely tedious on the other AC game. Pass

 

Spartan_1004 26 pts

 broost1 I kind of felt the same way and just stuck to the main storyline. I know there is alot of optional side quests and activities you can do, but I kept wanting to know what happened next after each mission.

broost1 29 pts

 Spartan_1004 and gameplay? ac storylines never grabbed me enough to finish the games i've tried.  Thats personal opinion i know but decent open world games always have a degree of gameplay hooks e.g. loot or character progression that i've found lacking in the series also.  I personally don't get caught up in any "atmosphere" in the ac gaming worlds either....again, thats personal taste i guess.  So is the story that good? and is the world that fun to traverse? is combat somehow better? Tbh it just looks really boring again to me! 

AmirLegend23 35 pts

I play AC3 its got a little big lagging , gltiches and bugs.

GamerOuTLaWz 466 pts

 AmirLegend23 and this is why Ill get this game on my marvelous up-to-date PC while you enjoy pixelized ugly graphics on 720p with lags and frame rate drop LOL, yes, xbox is superior my friends

Spartan_1004 26 pts

 GamerOuTLaWz  Funny how any issue PC gamers are ready to scream "NOT ON PC!!!"

 GamerOuTLaWz  AmirLegend23 I swear xbox people are moronic idiots...

agitatedchimp 14 pts

 l3loodWolf  GamerOuTLaWz  AmirLegend23 No people like you who feel the need to compare and contrast such unnecessary things are moronic idiots 

l3loodWolf 14 pts

Get out of your diapers, stop sucking on mommas teet, get a real life and job, then talk shyt to me as if you are intelligent, as opposed to being a forum troll kid. Thanks.

UrbanTracker 14 pts

 GamerOuTLaWz   You do realise my friend that we, the PC gamers, can also get the same treatment from Ubisoft......Granted we may get better visuals and our PCs will be a better platform for their new engine but bugs are bugs and  no matter how much upgraded our PCs are we will face the same glitches and problems as our console brethren. Not to mention that idiotic DRM. FYI: please stop hating on other gamers, no matter the platform we are cut from the same cloth.  

Piroboss 6 pts

I think ubisoft has done a great job if you leave out the minor glitches

 

angeloti83 154 pts

I wasn´t expecting anything awesome out of this game, seems like they´re making the same mistakes as previous games on the franchise over and over, Too bad because the environment looks pretty interesting.

coolwgamer 12 pts

I love assassin's creed series looks amazing this year i like this game  because it's different special because you are playing in old century and with different weapons like swords  knifes and guns looks high graphics and great game.

Thanks
