Well, I have every single AC game. From AC I to Revelations it's been an amazing ride, which means I can't miss AC III. By the way, later today, Ubisoft finally released a pre-alpha game footage and it looks to me very good. Especially the part, where Connor runs through somebody's house, it looks amazing. Can'T wait for the game, but here's the video for you:

Game looks frikin amazing. Keeping the main elements of what made the franchise great, and mixing it in with some new stuff, along with a new character, time period and setting will def freshen things up.

Anyone end up picking this up?
Got it at launch and just finished up the main story line missions the other day. Still got some side stuff to do plus DLC as I'm aiming for close to 100%
Overall though I thought it was a ok game and would put it ahead of both Brotherhood and Revelations but no where near the level of AC2. The game is riddled with bugs on the PS3 some of the worst I've ever seen. The story is simple but it doesn't pull you in like the previous games Conor was a solid character but at the end of the game seems like your pretty much nothing left for him to do and could care less about where his character goes. A lot of the missions where pretty underwhelming also there's 2 big assassination that just fall flat by limiting what your allowed to do.
New things that were fun. Naval mission are actually really well done, was thinking they would be shit like den defenses but that was not the case as they where actually fun. Peg Leg missions took the place of the Tombs and overall another solid thing. Not a lot of fighting but the platforming was pretty intense in some unique locals.

I'm on sequence 10 right now. Just finished a sea battle (which are broken and annoying as fuck) and it seems like I'll be finishing the main story soon.
Gotta agree about the bugs, the game was undeniably rushed. They're noticeable immediately as soon as you begin the game. People's mouths don't move when they talk in some cut scenes, other times they just don't match what they're saying, there's very awkward camera positioning during some dialouge scenes where instead of focusing on the speaker's face it aims at their crotch, there's even a part while you're playing as Desmond where you're standing literally right next to that chick and her voice has radio echo/static as if she was on Desmond's headset. Really quirky things like that, but they become less common towards the second half of the story.
Although Assassin's Creed has never been completely historically-accurate, some themes in this game are just lol. Particularly that of a Native American aiding the Patriots in pursuit of liberation and freedom is just :facepalm:
I also find myself failing to obtain 100% synch on most missions because quite frankly I have no idea what goals I have to reach. The objectives flash very quickly and only at the moment you have to be weary of them instead of prompting you with a freeze frame prior to the mission dictating all parameters like it used to.
There's also some extra things to do like upgrading your homestead and trading and obtaining recipes, etc but I have done none of this stuff beyond what you're required to in the main story because I have yet to find any use for any of it or find a way to incorporate any if it into my game.
I'm not a fan of the unnecessarily complicated nature of the assassins guild either. The only option I use is the traditional "assassinate" option, and even that's rare. I'm sure I could put this to more use than I have, but again, I just never feel it's necessary.
The story is good for the most part and a lot of it might have you flocking to Wikipedia to brush up on your American history, which is something this game accomplishes well. But I feel it sends mixed signals story-wise and gameplay-wise. The main character Connor is just not nearly as likeable or even as understandable as Ezio. I never was clear on what makes him want to fight for American freedom. I don't think it's ever explained, honestly. And the game works very hard to establish this huge, open-world masterpiece of the 1700's east coast, but many of the missions are extremely linear and leave little room for any sort of variation (or deviation).
Raiding forts is still fun, even though I often end up screwing up and tripping an alarm that turns the entire place into a complete war zone, but I suppose my lack of patience can be blamed for that. There's some odd missions though, like "dog-killing". I mean fuck, even though you're doing it because they have rabies, that's just not fun. The liberation missions can be fun, but they get repetitive. Most all of the main missions warrant a second playthrough, but often it's because you're trying to get 100% synch and a lot of these missions are just flat out impossible to nail flawlwessly the first time.
I enjoy the game still, and I definitely like it more than Revelations. It's nowhere near AC2 unfortunately and the game's deadline is undoubtedly to blame. If Edios Montreal put 2 years into this game instead of just 1, it would have been a shoe-in for GOTY. But I guess they figured they stood a better chance going unopposed by GTAV in 2012 instead of 2013 when Rockstar will likely win everything it's qualified for.

What a crock of shit ending. That's an ending that says "We have your money, so here is this bullshit. Buy our next game in a year."
What a collosal waste of time.

I don't have a problem with the ending they said it was going to be Desmond last time being in the story and now he is gone. Could of done it better, but that being said I never cared much for the present day storylines and tend to like most just pick up the games for the historical setting gameplay.
They've got a lot of options with the next few games. I feel like this will be it for Connor, there's really not much left for him to do and I doubt they can drag out another trilogy again with one time setting. Would love to take a break from there main story with the next release and just do a a game based on Daniel Cross. There's a comic series which covers his lineage and it's pretty good, with it being based in Russia during the early 1900's up through the cold war. I'm sure this will eventually get a game just a question of whether it's going to be the next one or not.
If we get a whole new present day character with a whole different time period to I'm fine with that as there's countless cool points in history they can take on.

Endless stories with no real resolution on an annual basis, because they have an audience plugged in that will pay $60 without question.
I think the next game should be the last the storyline is getting worse the explantion for Lucy being stabbed was stupid Eagle Vision would've shown she was undercover as a Templar.
And as for Desmond sacraficing himself (grow up people the game has been out for a while now if you haven't finished it by now you never will) that was just a waste.

The game has been barely out a month. I don't mind because I've already completed the game, but your presumption that everyone should have time to complete it by now is pretty ridiculous. People have jobs and families and other priorities outside of completing a video game.
