Just read that preview (not a particularly good preview tbh) and glanced at the comments. Depressing. The Easily Offended Brigade are stil whining about the fact that Connor will spend a lot of time killing British soldiers.

Urgh. I've killed plenty of germans, americans, arabs and extra terrestrials in videogames. Quite happy for my fellow brits to get some stabby action too.

Tempting. I have the first one for Xbox that I snagged for like 10 bucks like 3 years ago now. Maybe I'll throw it in this weekend. From what I understand it's not a particularly long game, but the sequels really improve on the original which has a lot of flaws. Will try to play with an open mind.

I wouldn't say the original has a lot of flaws, but one big one: it's rather repetitive. The sequels introduce a lot more variety in the missions.

I need it to be tomorrow.

I don't work from Wednesday to Sunday so I'll have plenty of time to play this and NFS:MW.

I'm holding out for the PC version...is proving to be difficult! I'd love to dig into it right away.

RoJoHen · October 30 2012, 07:28 PM

Just got back from buying it. I don't know if I should start playing it or not because I have to work in a few hours, and I have a feeling I'm going to be cranky when I have to put the controller down.

BigFoot · October 30 2012, 08:34 PM

I just started downloading my copy.

I would have bought this game if it was historically accurate. Yeah I get to fight with the Founding Fathers except most of them were Free Masons who are associated with the TEMPLARS! WTF?! So I'm fighting for the Templars now

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Freemasonry

As for the slaughter that began the story, Colonists and their militia were responsible for more deaths of native americans than the British. That's why native tribes like the MOHAWKS sided with the British.

Wouldn't it be cool if you were an Assassin fighting for the British against the rebel colonist who were secretly controlled by the Templars. Benjamin Franklin could be your nemesis. Of course Ubisoft loves money more than history so we get AC the American (Lame) Revolution version.

I bought it because I want to assassinate people with a tomahawk.

I don't know the entire story, but wasn't it revealed in one of the previous games that

was a Templar? I think it would be interesting if Connor thinks he's working for the good guys, and then it turns out he's been fighting for the Templars all along.

RoJoHen · October 31 2012, 07:25 AM

Weird start to the game. I've been playing for about two hours, and I haven't even seen mention of this Connor character yet, even though he's supposedly the main focus of the game. I've been running around Boston as some random British dude, and I have absolutely no idea where the story is going to take me.

He's probably Connor's father. Connor is supposed to be half British so that would be my guess.

Rincewiend · October 31 2012, 02:58 PM

Yeah, the review at gametrailers said there was a slow start/buildup.

Yeah, I'm into Sequence 3 (about 3 hours into gameplay), and it looks like British Dude is about to get it on with an Indian chick.

The build up is very slow, which probably wouldn't be so noticeable if this was my first AC game. But since I've already played the other games and know the controls pretty well, it's a just tad annoying.

I'm putting this on my Christmas list. I've just read a great review that made me salivate. Particularly in hearing that you'll have a ship that you can do battles with. Sounds like a lot of fun. Made me wish for a new Sid Meir's Pirates! with a 3D engine.
