Assassin's Creed III - Exploring the Assassins

Ezio was the best.  He was a major babe, he was graceful, he was sexy and he was so polite!  Haytham Kenway is second:  he is deservedly arrogant, another major babe but so much wasted potential in his story.  Altair didn't have much of a story, the best of it seemed to take place in flashbacks in later games - maybe Ubisoft could revisit Altair for more of his life story.  The best thing about Ubisofts heroes is that you care about them very much.  It drives the game action.  Take AC3 - I could not wait to see how Haytham's story would end - I wanted to know why an obvious born assassin would become a templar - and how his little creation would turn out.  Hope Ubisoft can continue to come up with compelling stories that keep us following these wonderful heroes for many years to come!!

*PC

i'm getting a little bit angry on Gamespot because AC3 only comes out for PD in 20/11 and i want to play it now, and all that videos on AC3 is making me anxious.

Altaïr > Connor > Ezio

I really miss the stealth element of AC1. All that careful planning and approaching. The sudden strike and the escape sequence. Ezio felt like Rambo compared to Altair. With a few exception of course like the Dionysus festivities in AC Brotherhood. I am curious whether Conor in AC3 is stealthy at all. Can not figure out from the reviews.

For me Altair is still the best character.

I think the master full of pride brought down history was a hit for me. Never got to like Ezio...even after 3 games, can't really explain why....there's just something that I do not like.

Looking forward to AC3, hope Connor keeps the flame alive!

For whoever is arguing in the comments about Consoles vs PC.....really again?

Lets have a... DEATHMATCH!!!

:)

hes half british, half mohawk....so he's *puts shade* a 'Brohawk'YYYEAAAAHHHH!!!!! 

Looking forward to playing as Connor. As of now, I got to say that Ezio is my favorite. Dude was a smooth playa lol

must play ! NOW !

Because of Altair Assassin's lived otherwise they would have been wiped out long time ago.

Give Ezio or Altair exact same tools as Connor has. They can even match Connor especially Altair. Look at his skills. He can do those things with only 3 equipments, Hidden blade, sword at throwing knife. IMAGINE if all the tools of Connor, is with Altair, Altair would own anyone.

Altair the most badass assasin hands down

So, basically we've gone from Assassin's Creed to Brawler's Creed 3... ffffffantastic...

I wonder, has anyone though about how Desmond is? Or the main protagonist of the story, and therefore the story itself, are not important anymore?

Next year we will see a new Ubisoft game called "Brawler's Creed: Dissapointment" and the following year the last game of the series (or maybe not): "Brawler's Creed: Deception" wich is what the Assassin's Creed series has become since AC2...

Lol, my comment was removed for using the word spoiler. I didn't even spoil anything though... Because I never affirmed anything that IS, only what ISN'T.

Guess I learned my lesson. No more using the word "spoiler" even on spoiler alerts.

xsonicchaos's comment is what you can call a spoiler.... Yet it's still down there.  :/

Is this post going to be deleted now for using the word again?

I wonder how vast the world will be? I'm skeptical that 18th C America is as beautiful as 15th C Italy...

I love Assassin's Creed. <3

I don't say? :D

Connor is the Achilles of the Assassin's!! I love him so much!! <3

They honestly should make a live action trailer like AC:B ... that did the trick for me .... 

Ezio and Altair are great in their own right, but I have a feeling Connor is going to be my favorite.  The setting is the most interesting and relevant (to me) so far.  I love his attitude, his history, and his mixture of european and native weaponry, I love the idea of an AC game in an organic environment.  Same thing as when Metal Gear Solid finally took it out of the corridors and into the jungle with MGS3.  I lost my shit when they finally gave Snake a combat knife and let him climb trees or fade into some tall grass.  No matter what, I have a good feeling about this game.  It seems to be the ideal progression for the series. 

If I had to buy only one game this holiday, it would be Assassin's Creed III.

Why do all the assassins have scars on their lips?

For you guys mocking the pc version. I played all AC games on ps3 and AC, AC2 and AC:R on PC and let me tell you that the games fit both platforms perfectly. The PC version doesn't feel like a bad console-translation at all. No reason to make such claims..

EZio Auditore Da Firenzze >>>>Altair Any day.

altair was a stereotype.. ezio was not..

altair was purely one-dimensional spouting consistent moods all the time..

ezio  was far mor complex in character, carefree from the start turning overly serious as the game progressed, carrying it all throughout the sequels..

bottomline.. ezio was far more interesting.

the gamepay IS different in PC since the game is far FAR smoother therefore more controllable and enjoyable. AC games have always been letdown by the consoles lack of power, running around rome at horrible frames per second totally ruined ac:b for me. Nabbed it off a steam sale last year and played thru the whole lot again. What a difference not only having the superior graphics but SMOOTHE gameplay makes. as well as the usual advantages like no hideously long loading times, Console gamers are really quite deluded these days when they say I want gameplay! when they clearly purchased the console in the first place due to falling for the "MAX TECHNO SKILLZ GRAFFIX!!!" they were advertised as back in the day. 300quid gets you a worthy gaming PC these days. Digital Foundry prooved this with their review system. Never understood ppl wanting to sit 10ft away from the screen either, you miss SO much that way but I guess it hides all the hideous textures that slight bit on consoles :P

I'll be soooo glad when this game is released 'cos I am soooo sick about hearing about it.

Before AC 2 was released, I didn't like Ezio. i just didn't feel like I would like the way they presented Ezio thinking Altair sounds more of a bad ass. It changed after playing AC 2 to death and I started liking Ezio. Not as good as Altair, but not bad either. He was like-able. 

After watching this, I am having the same doubts about Connor and hope to be proved wrong yet again! :) 

What, no Aveline?  LOL.  They're killing me with the lack of Liberation info.  I'm starting to think it's going to suck, and they don't want us to know that.  Though my hope is that they just put all their ad money towards AC3.

And in AC IV we will have a future assassin, who wields plasma hidden blade and smartphones.
