Assassin's Creed 3

For Nova, from wikipedia:

Allegations of pro-American and anti-British prejudice

In June 2012 Ubisoft and in particular its French-Canadian subsidiary Ubisoft Montreal had to fend off increasing accusations of anti-British prejudice after trailers and box art depicting the killing of British Redcoats started to appear.[53] One site described the '4th July' live-action trailer as "Tea Party jingoism".[54] Lead script writer Corey May defended the developers and publisher Ubisoft from allegations of bigotry and discrimination.[55] This controversy, however, continued because marketing materials continued to depict only the British as the enemy,[56] with a number gaming news outlets noting US trailers cutting scenes that do actually depict the protagonist killing Patriots.[57][58][59] The publisher eventually decided that the Limited Edition of the game wouldn't be sold in the UK or Europe.[60] However upon the game's release, a review by Official Xbox Magazine UK felt that "the strongest aspect of ACIII is the more mature moral tone - there's none of the anticipated "yay, America"."[61] In another review by Kotaku Australia, the reviewer notes "publishers from big video game companies are not known for subtlety or complexity of theme", going on to say "the marketing always suggested that ACIII’s igniting of the Revolution would be a game of interactive jingoism; its developers always said it was not. The developers were the ones being accurate."[62]

there you go...

Were those really spoilers? They were in all the games marketing?
Well maybe not the length of time before Connor appears but thats hardly a spoiler....

Well I've watched nearly every trailer for the game as well as making of videos and never heard anything about Connor's father being integral to the storyline...but whatever, I was just sayin.

I just thought that whole beginning part was so cool...

Spoiler

My favorite part being the revelation that his father was not an assassin but a Templar! Awesome twist!

That surprised me as well, certainly didn't see it coming. Spectacular game so far.

[Mr. EcKo]

Already have 3 different outfits

The Ezio Brotherhood outfit looks awesome

My favorite so far is the Boston Brown outfit

The only way to change into those colored outfits , is at the general stores .

The others are stored in Achilies Basement

UPlay - it was like 20 or 30 points

If Connor was a colonist soldier i'd agree, but since he's an impartial outsider to the war he can go either or both way.



Cheers Batfan.

So it's ok killing early Americans just not Brits?

Exactly. I made sure I attacked every redcoat I came across in the last segment.

--Did anyone else buy the AC3 season pass?? First season pass I bought for a game in a long time. Hope it's worth it.

I will. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I like SP just because I don't miss any extras that make single player missions or more maps for MP.

oh yeah, the Freedom Edition statue is awesome.

I own the Ezio Revelations statues and this a huuuge step up from that. Intricate detail and great paintjob.

Easily the best sub $100 statue I've seen.

I am interested The Hunter statue now as well, as I assume its of similar quality...

Uplay is awesome. Been using that service since ACII.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

omg ! I am hunting all the red coats I see. this guy is checking this cow, I sneak up behind him and rope dart him. as he gets hit the lightning strikes. I drag him all the way back to the bush where I was hiding and hidden blade him. it just felt like a movie scene. this game is so bad ass.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Am I the only idiot that can't win a game of cowboy checkers?

What is Uplay again? I forget. I entered the code and everything and even signed in. I just forgot what it. Was.

Did you get the 360 version?? I got the PS3 copy, and I want to know if anyone here has attempted/completed the Benedict Arnold mission yet?? Can you begin it anytime, or only after a specific sequence?

 

[akomei]

Anyone who preordered from GameStop or EbGames able to redeem their code and get the Sawtooth Sword? After entering my code only the Mayan Ruins was available for download.

I got it for my Xbox. I rarely buy games for my ps3.

I'm the opposite lately. Only exclusives are 360 purchases. I have the first Elite revision, and I'm afraid it's on it's last leg. I keep telling myself to buy a new one, but then this far into the lifespan I feel it would be foolish to buy a 3rd system.
