Aww.... Don't say that.

Maybe your judgement is blurred by your marathon playthrough through the whole night?

Have played it about 4 hour now. Its by far the best assassins Creed game yet. Assassins Creed was boring and part 2 get boring after some hour to me but part 3 is quite entertaining rioght now. But when can i play Connor. I am nearly at the end of part three and no conner in sight.

Right now i would giva the game a 6.5 -7 out of 10. Maybe the score will chance when i be able to play connor.

How can anyone play the first 4-6 hours of this game and claim it the best? You barely do anything in the first 4-6 hours.

they're hyped. Probably smoking pot.

I am not hyped but maybe its because i like the new scenario more and the english lord i have playing is much more symptahitk than previous charakters in my eyes ( did i mentioned that the german voice is from Daniel Craig)
But i agree right now its very story lasting with much cut scenes etc but i like it when videogames have some cinema movie flair.

Have Done 6 chapters... Looks like it will be my favorite Assassin's Creed.

Connor > Ezio and Altair.
Storytelling > others AC and so many games.

The three first chapters with the english guy is great prologue. Connor comes after that and it's just what GOTY is...

Woke up.

Listen everyone, beat the game then come back.

The ending with Desmond is terrible and just a big ass slap in the face. The final ...moments with Connor is poorly done and a chase scene which is the final thing you do is poorly designed and horribly frustraighting. In general the motivation for it is just.. no.

There is no grey area when it comes to ..a certain sitatuation despite the game hinting at it because of a great tension and interaction going on between Connor and.. someone else (wont say for spoilers sake). But at the end, thats completely thrown out the window and its just played out so horribly.

Add that to the horrible ending of Desmond.. Ew.

With that said: I will ofcourse still hopp in and run around as Connor as the gameplay is fun, but fuck that story man.

Plus:
Connor and Haythan was a really nice story and to watch it unfold was interesting mostly.
Gameplay is by far the best in the series.
Really ambitious.
The sea missions are godly.
A pretty good soundtrack that makes you feel pumped.
Some really nice moments.

Cons:
The story in my opinion is a disaster. I feel the ending was just terrible.
Major annoyances in certain missions due to linear paths given that are poorly designed. (One chase scene in particular...)
Graphically inconsistant and lots of bugs/glitches and framerate dipps during very hectic moments.
The pacing feels a bit off. The game starts somewhat slow indeed but it always progresses until a point when you are Connor and it just goes terribly slow.
So many fetch missions.. so many.
The lack of assassin-esque feeling makes me somewhat sad. Altair and Ezio had this brotherhood or they were always following this certain "creed". This is pretty much non existant and the motivation for the final objective is just redundant and confusing.
The horses are terribly stiff and the missions in general could use a bit of variation.
Certain moments are not well written and never implied, infact its the opposite and you might find yourself go "Oh he knew that?".
In general it just feels like a very stressed out game.

7/10

Don't get me wrong, its a great game and definitely my favorite of all the Assassins Creed games, but the approach was off. This game could've been a 10 if they would've paid more attention to detail. If they were going to do this, they should've gone the route of Red Dead Redemption. If should not have made a game that begs to be played out in the open so linear in approach, it's like it was contradicting itself. At point where I felt like I wanted to hunt, explore or stealth kill at random, I felt like the synchroncity blocked my ability to do anything. When I gave up and wanted the story to just unfold because it definitely is engrossing the distance between missions gets longer as you go along. Luckily, they have fast travel and really and truly it only makes sense, because its a memory. Missions need to stop being so tight as well. This game had some great points where it could've had Metal Gear moments.

The horses are also extremely slow. At times when I was in the frontier area I would call for a horse and their use is only limited to just getting somewhere a bit faster than you can run, but I feel the horse mechanics needed a lot of work. Horses lose stamina too fast and when you spur them more than once they start bitching. Even after they first spur its not even half as a fast as the horse in Red Dead Redemption on the first speed.

I finally got the time to play and now I have a free day. I finally got to play as grown connor. I am so pumped to play as desmond still! They better send him off well because they've treated him like shit!
