I was going to buy the game, but then I blew my monthly bandwidth cap on the OP.

 

[commish]

It's crazy, but I've never played any AC games. I own part 2 but never really gave it a shot, despite seemingly tailored made for my gaming tastes.

 

[Marleyman]

For shits sake; Skyrim, SR3, and now this? I don't have the damn time so one of these is getting put off until late winter.

 

[Elios83]

Wow great OP, btw it's "requiescat in pace".

 

[JaseC]

Great OP. Revelations marks the first Assassin's Creed game I'll have played on the PC.

 

[Mik2121]

Holy shit...

Amazing OP.

 

[KorrZ]

This is one sexy OT, great job OP.

 

[Evershade]

WOW. Amazing OP for hopefully an amazing game.

 

[Ezel]

The game probably doesn't deserve a such amazing OT

 

[Princess Skittles]

Holy CRAP at the OP(s).

Also: HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE.

ONE MORE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.

 

[Unity2012]

HOLY OT!!

Great job! Congrats! Ubisoft should reward you for putting this much effort into creating one of the best threads I've seen in years.

Thank you.

 

[r.gun]

Dear lord... this OP...

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Very excited. Where did all that info on the first civilization come from? I'm pretty sure I've done all the "extra" story stuff in the other games and I don't remember that much detail...

 

[UrbanRats]

Goddamn, son.

also, this is one week away? Amazon uk is telling me December 2nd.

EDIT: Ah, PC version is December 2nd.

 

[rockman zx]

My most expected and wanted game of the year. Congratulations for the thread, it's the best thread ever.

By the way, Ubisoft cut the crap with the preorder crap and the ten thousand editions of the AC games.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

My God, that is an impressive OP, very awesome. Truly well done. Also, all these OT's of games I want!

I am going to buy this game as soon as possible, looks amazing.

Also, I took this avatar:

 

[Volcynika]

I can't wait for this game, and I can't wait for when this thread hits the second page so I don't have to load the OP. (go go 100ppp).

 

[Spacebar]

Amazing OT! Can't wait for this shit!

 

[JWong]

Huge OT is cool and all, but one image for the first post is kinda silly.

 

[sephi22]

Godlike OP.

AC:R, UMvC3 and SR3 on the same day.
:O :O :O

 

[popsicle_sundays]

Holy fucking shit :O

Good job OP, incredible OT! Have this pre-ordered for PC (Nov 25th ) through Amazon DD, can't wait.

 

[CrazyDude]

I am going to wait till people's impressions are out for this game. I am still a little skeptical about the yearly production time even after brotherhood.

 

[Kyaw]

Jesus H Christ, that is an enormous OT. Compression-whores are going to have aneurysm, though.

It is there but not that bad.

Amazing OT! I read the ACB storyline as i haven't played it and i got ACR free from IGN yesterday.

I'm amazed at the storyline and the amount of content and complexity this whole game series have. (although not entirely original)

 

[iNvid02]

Very excited. Where did all that info on the first civilization come from? I'm pretty sure I've done all the "extra" story stuff in the other games and I don't remember that much detail...

the assassins creed wiki.

thats one of the reasons i made the op like this, there is so much stuff that isn't explained or revealed but is a big part of the story. its important to understanding the whole story but some people never know about it

thats why you get people who finished it, but have no idea whats going on and just call it time travel or some shit with aliens. if you manage to read the whole thread you should know everything

 

[ksimm]

Great OT, love the 56k ref

 

[ComputerMKII]

I am monitoring the shit out of this thread.

 

[gdt]

OP seems like overkill.

Still, can't wait! I'll probably wait for the PC version, is that a locked date, or are we hearing more of another delay?

 

[Princess Skittles]

By the way, Ubisoft cut the crap with the preorder crap and the ten thousand editions of the AC games.

All the pre-order crap is usually included in whatever DLC they release.

IE: All of the pre-order characters and costumes for AC:B were part of the Da Vinci DLC.

 

[Sp3eD]

A post dedicated to art books and soundtracks?

Never have liked the throw everything and the kitchen sink into OP's. Sorry.

 

[gdt]

Also, will an i7 and a 6770m be enough to run this game on PC? I was able to max ACII at ~50fps/720p.

 

[dwebo]

It is there but not that bad.

meant the jpg text mainly

thats why you get people who finished it, but have no idea whats going on and just call it time travel or some shit with aliens

they're the lucky ones, I think

thanks for the bathroom reading for the next few days, though!

 

[Puddles]

OP seems like overkill.

Seriously. All I need is a blurb about the game, maybe a screenshot or two, some review scores, and maybe a discussion of the mechanics or whatever.

Less is more. When you post this much crap, people are actually less likely to read it.

Might as well link to the game's official website at this point.

 

[The_Monk]

This thread is amazing, great, pretty and a good read. Nice one!

I'll be playing this after a good old price drop since I'm done with buying games after today.

Oh and that edition Italy exclusive? I have a family friend who would go crazy to get that one!

That's some bullshit if you ask me. I've played the games. Why shouldn't I get important parts of the story. I have the comics sitting on my desk at home. What else am I missing? Does that info come from iOS games?

 

[SarBear]

Day 1

My Penis is ready

Here we go!

Nice OP

 

[metareferential]

Majestic OP, well done.

Now I kinda want the game.

I still have to finish Brotherhood though, It just bored me after a while. I immensily enjoyed AC 2, though.

 

[keit4]

OMG, crazy OP!!

 

[Frostburn]

Wow amazing OT! I still need to play Brotherhood, I am always a year behind these games but I love all the info and back story you posted for the first two games and seeing this hypes me up to play Brotherhood.

Never have liked the throw everything and the kitchen sink into OP's. Sorry.

How else are you supposed to effectively market the special editions?!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ezio's inclusion in SC5 has me interested in giving the AC franchise a try. Should I start with the very first game, or can I just try the Ezio ones?

 

[Radec]

holy shit. how many posts was that?

Great OP!

 

[Barrett2]

These professional OTs are seriously getting out of control, IMO.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

good lord that's disgusting

 

[Ken Masters]

Ezio's inclusion in SC5 has me interested in giving the AC franchise a try. Should I start with the very first game, or can I just try the Ezio ones?

NO, AC1 is shit, just youtube the story. Play AC2 which is fantastic, then youtube ACBH which is basically an expansion pack of AC2. Then you will be ready for ACR.

 

[Princess Skittles]

I would say yes but a lot of people will say to jump in at ACII.

Especially with smartphone-age, need to optimize posts for OT.

My phone will be loading this sucker for half a day and probably get an error.

 

[Dabanton]

For the amount of work put in. The OP was beyond overkill.

 

[TheExodu5]

Skip AC1, buy DO NOT skip Brothethood. It's much more than an expansion. The game is even bigger than AC2, and is an improvement overall.

 

[commish]

These professional OTs are seriously getting out of control, IMO.

I've been saying that for a while, but apparently they are here to stay. Lot of ppl seem to like them, but I think the OP should be used for basic info and then additional info as the game rolls along, e.g., patch updates, a FAQ (like in dark souls), etc.
