Figured we would just keep everything game related in here since the other thread was kind of a next gen release title thread.


Just picked it up. Unbelievable so far. The graphics are incredible. Everything is so vibrant & colorful. Added some tweaks to firing cannons & stuff (new aiming system), but I like it.

I'm impressed with it so far. I'm already hooked on the story.

Finally gonna get a few hours of sleep. Just docked in Nassau. I'm hooked. This game has so many things that can get you sidetracked. Far surperior game than AC3.

Got a 9 superb from Gamespot and 8.5 great from IGN. Looks like IGN's complaint was the story.

Nb4carson... Damn too late. So is this game much better than 3?

picking it up this afternoon and playing it tonight probably.

I have played AC 2 and 3 and I'm eventually going to play the games in-between those. But based on this and its good reviews it should be a very good game.

Those differences are usually just a consequence of reviews reviewing for different platforms. I want to hear how the Wii u version is.

Brotherhood was an awesome sequel, Revelations... not so much

I own all of them except brotherhood and revelations. I really liked 2, but felt ibis oft was really milking the franchise with those two Ezio sequels, so I was turned off by them. I may give them a try though. I've already preordered 4 for PS4.

they are on my shelve to eventually play.

I heard AC 1 was horrible so I just watched someone playing through it to get the idea of the story. I like how the games build on each other.

I hope this game will be something I will want to go back to. I find with story driven games that once I beat the campaign the game begins to collect dust on my shelf.

I don't play much multiplayer.

I heard the story isn't great but I think the fact that you can go off and explore will make this game great. I rather great gameplay with a weak story rather than weak gameplay and a great story.

I'm thinking I will play it eventually in a slow period but not at release.

no apparently no 10 hour forced play. This throws you directly into the ability to explore the world.

Yeah in terms I exploring, it's almost like GTAV. I didn't get to do much last night. I plan on exploring a little tonight.
