Yea lets not with your hyperbole.
The game isn't even out yet, man.
And if you're talking about Assassin's Creed 3, sure the game had some issues, but it definitely wasn't garbage. Some people didn't like it as much as AC II, but 3 is still a good game. It just has flaws.
Might be the first game in the franchise that I pick up after the original (AC1) turned me off greatly. The reviews for AC3 didn't help to attract me back but all the media i've seen AC4 starting to hold and build my interest.
.
why are Ubi games such a technical mess, do they not do enough testing ? these 500+ development teams surely include testers right !?
I'm looking to get into the AC series for the first time (all on PC). But man you guys are really shitting on the series. Is it worth it or is it a dumbed down series for the masses?

It's incredibly dumb and "streamlined", and there is also no plot resolution since they are obsessed with shoehorning in a sci-fi meta plot that they refuse to resolve. The series has spiraled way out of hand and is not good at all. The first one or Brotherhood are probably the best to try if you must, but do not expect good games, and you might be surprised if it turns out you like them.
In my opinion Assassin's Creed represents everything I hate about over bloated AAA games. Horrible writing and acting, swaths of boring content and meaningless side quests, homogenization of game mechanics into a one button cinema fest, etc etc.

That's putting it lightly, 3's one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. For all the bad games you guys see me trashing on here none of them (or very few anyway) I would consider all-time terrible. AC3 would rank pretty well on that list though. It literally has no merit and does nothing well at all.

I'll wait for a second opinion review-wise, but I am liking the game features that make the ship stuff seem like an HD Sid Meier's Pirates.
I can remember people saying similar things about ACIII. And look how that turned out...
Yup.
I enjoyed it first time through though I didn't like many element. Then I played through it again nearly a year later and enjoyed it even more - enough to get the Platinum trophy in it.
The same happened with the first Bioshock. Went through it and thought it was decent. Returned a few years later and now I regard it one of the best games of the generation.
AC3 has many issues but it's an enjoyable game with enough fun stuff to do. Calling it one of the worst games ever made is some comical hyperbole.
My personal ranking of the series is AC2 > AC3 = Rev > Bro > AC1
AC4 looks fantastic though. Much better setting and really expanding on one my favourite aspects of AC3 - the pirate stuff. Looking forward to playing it. Connor was a shit character so it will be good to play as someone far more interesting and appealing.
From what i'm reading...
If I didn't like the naval combat in AC3, and just don't like it at all, this game is most definitely not for me.
It’s difficult to keep a story that jumps around multiple decades and characters comprehendible, but here it remains easy to follow and often quite poignant and thought-provoking. There’s some great dialogue and characterization throughout that is sure to prove memorable in the years to come. An early highlight happens when Haytham is about to leave a bar, only to have drunk soldiers insult him. After asking him what he’s going to do about it, he simply replies “I was leaving, but now I’m going to feed you your teeth”.
WTF? How many times they will give nines and tens over and over and over and over again essentially the same f****ng game as before without significant changes to the core gameplay and mechanics that will allow us to play a completely different AC game? How much is this going to continue and for how long we will allow this to happen? It's not even funny anymore! They will continue to make the same shitty game over and over if we will not do something about it.
P.S. They need to get rid of the f****ng open world and make a completely linear-cinematic-story-driven-action-adventure-game like Uncharted or The Last of Us. Only after this I will play another AC game ater ACIII last year.

hahahahahahah wot

Oh please, I also respect your opinion but don't tell me about the sales and about the number of people which like every f****ng AC game. This is all merely says that the game industry is in complete ass for a very long time already and all of the people who likes the same AC game for almost 7 year now is just contributes to all this. That's why I don't care about sales and about number people cuz honestly - it changes nothing!
-Stealth works very well, you can chose how to approach your taget, etc.
Actually, he has a great point. Assassin's Creed has an identity crisis. It wants to be a scripted, cinematic, set-piece driven action-adventure, but based around open-world game design philosophy.
It's overly ambitious, but I see that as a bad thing. I think the franchise would benefit from a little bit more focus and refinement.
Nah, Liberation was 3-BrotherhoodMake no mistake, this is Assassin's Creed 3-2. It's the "Brotherhood" after 3. They just changed it to a main numbered entry to increase sales.
Given all the massive issues with 3, I'd be shocked if we don't see many more substantial complaints about the gameplay once gamers get their hands on it in greater numbers.
The game does look like it has its positive points though, and I would like to be surprised and see that they somehow fixed issues that have plagued the series in all 5 games, and in some cases, actually gotten worse.
Nah, Liberation was 3-Brotherhood
Black Flag is 3-Revelations.
I want more info on the modern day gameplay, I'm not a fan of it but I want to see how it is.
Since you know, Desmond died.

NFW. It will kill more games and will not make them better at all in my opinion.More games need to move to open world, not the other way around.
