Impressions?

I've never felt such mixed feelings about a game before. After playing through all of the past console AC games, I was hugely skeptical about this one, considering the historical and geographical setting (no more epic city viewpoints etc.). But the game turned out better than expected. Hunting and crafting both seemed overtly tedious considering you really didn't need to do them, and by the time you were able to get the good stuff it really didn't matter seeing as how you already have enough money to do whatever you wanted anyway. In addition, Connor was a terrible main character imo; so undimensional, I really didn't care about him at all. And why no big battles! Yeah, we got to shoot hoards of red coats with cannons but the closest we got to free killing in a major battle was really just trying not to die as you ran through an artillery zone in pursuit of an assassination target. And of course, the Desmond/main storyline was even less appealing.

Despite these drawbacks I still really enjoyed the game. The voice acting was great and many of the characters were appealing. Other than that, I can't put my finger on what exactly made it as enjoyable as it was, and the fact that there were so many let downs makes it even more confusing.

I'm interested to hear other opinions.

I found the first half of the game really boring.

Out of all the Assassins Creed games, what would you say is the best one in the series?

The human element always mucks things up.

Any game that allows me to be attacked and killed by 20 enemy soldiers in the middle of a non interactive cutscene can suck it.

Mixed opinions about the game...

Good storyline but poor ending.

Where are the hidden armors that were so awesome to find in the other ACS?

Why does it seem like Connor is such a rugged character with absolutely barbaric..

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

I think it was pretty good. The start was great but then it was like a bumpy road. Some parts were great and others weren't so great.
The gameplay also had parts that were great and not so great.
Regarding the graphics, it looked good.










If you are still reading this, I have just wasted your time because I haven't actually played the game yet.

It's hard for me to remember, and even if I could it'd be hard to pick. But I'd have to say Revelations made longest lasting impression.

I liked the game, didn't see the twist at the start coming, and liked the gameplay.

However, I didn't like the ending - yes Desmond was getting boring, and AC4 can go in a new direction, but I still think it was a bit out of thin air for those who weren't reading into every bit of canon.

I've played all of them except AC III, and AC II was definitely the best.

hmm

The first couple of hours are tedious and boring. After that it gets slightly better but still not AC2/Brotherhood level imo.
