    Exclamation Assassin's Creed 3

    Anyone else looking forward to this game? Looks pretty damn good - whole new feel with it set in the American Revolution:

    Really going to miss Ezio (one of my favourite game characters ever) - I am close to finishing AC Revolutions and having a bitter sweet kind of feeling knowing this chapter (AC2, AC Brotherhood, ACR) will be over soon. Should be interesting to see how the storyline transfers to the Americas...obviously a lot of Templar lore to work with

    I really liked the game when the story line was about Ezio taking down the corruption of The Vatican, - was an awesome idea....Loved, loved, loved it.

    But, towards the end of AC2(?) when they introduced the absurdity (imo) of Aliens being behind God and all of that stuff, the game just didn't work anymore for me.

    Why the aliens? WHY?

    LOL I felt the same way about the introduction of aliens. Im not gonna lie, I haven't really liked the endings to the past few games....or rather Ive barely understood them enough to remember wtf happened by the time I start the next game.

    Im sure I will still play it though as Im looking forward to the new wildlife aspect.

    I personally loved the storyline - but I'm a huge sci-fi fan.

    The idea of advanced civilisations tinkering with the DNA of early hominids is actually not very new, or really that far-fetched - I mean we have just learned how to do it (genetic engineering) ourselves I don't necessarily subscribe to it, but it's not that far-out an idea.

    Anyway, it looks like a hell of a game and I can't wait to play it!

    Picking it up today but might not be able to get to it until the weekend (Although I am willing to bet I end up playing it all night and get very little sleep!).

    Haven't played Borderlands 2 yet, but I liked the first one so I will likely get it at some point.

    Played for a couple of hours tonight. Why is the beginning excruciatingly slow?

    Walk here....cut scene....walk there...cut scene...

    They sell this game off the entirely new background and I haven't even been able to roam yet!

    Without ruining anything I get that they're setting up the story but I seriously would have preferred a 20 minute opening video to this.

    I haven't had a chance to get to it yet - tomorrow night I will for sure.

    Apparently you don't play as Connor until Sequence 4, but it really picks up after that. I am thinking about giving the multiplayer a try - I usually hate MP, the players are generally all pretty experienced and have little patience for someone new. I played a few MP sessions on AC Brotherhood and was completely lost as to what the hell to do. I'll probably only do that if I am trying for the Platinum trophy though - and one of the requirements is 100% synch on all missions...not an easy task, so i will see if that's doable before bothering with MP.

    Maybe we can organise some MP sessions with Dobberites? Just a thought.

    Also a nice bonus - along with the Maya mission, there is a bonus 4 mission 'Benedict Arnold' pack for the PS3; also looking forward to the King George DLC as well, that sounds interesting.
