[Meg]

Oh look another AC game this year. What a surprise.

I'm looking forward to this one because I want to see where it goes, but....yeah. I'm getting AC'ed out.

Well anyway, thoughts?

I'm really not as excited for this as I should be :ermm: (i'm a massive AC fan). Revelations was terrible (in my opinion): forgettable plot (Desmond and Altair where the only good parts), same old gameplay since AC II, stupid gimmicks (bombs, den defending). If you can't tell, I was incredibly disappointed with AC Revelations.

I hope this re-invents the series in a similar way AC II did, and that its not just AC II again >_<

Agreed. The plot in ACR was terrible, the gimmicks were annoying, and while I love the multiplayer and Altair parts they can't save the game. ACII evolved the series, ACB perfected it, and ACR beat it into the ground. It's time for a change. Hopefully since they have been working on this for over three years it will be a big improvement.

Revelations didn't even reveal anything, just told us a ton of stuff we already knew... So my hype for III has died a little.

Their is another AC?? I thought Revelations was the last one?? I'm also surprised I've never played any of the AC games lol. :lol:

Technically the last 2 have been spin offs of Assassins Creed II (Brotherhood & Revelations). The next is the proper sequel Assassins Creed III with a new character instead of Ezio.

OH!!! Thanks for explaining Dark Drakan. Those last two AC games most have been a big deal because I thought they were proper sequels.

Well they did a decent job in a year but really hope they dont continue to release a new spin-off of one of the titles every year. People will start to tire of the series much too fast.

Agreed. Their beginning to reach that "AC overload" point.

A shame Ubisoft have taken that approach with the series as the base engine behind the game is hugely impressive and deserves to be remembered for the good things. Be a shame if all the good is undone by it turning into an annual release title which is quickly passed over by a lot of gamers.

Perhaps Ubisoft is desperate for money because the economy is bad. But still it doesn't excuse them of dishing out AC games like fast food. Ubisoft is doing what Sega does with Sonic.
