How is it? I've been debating on whether to pick up AC3 or AC4 on Wii U.

It's really good. However, I play it as a pirate game and not so much an Assassin's Creed game, so the most fun part for me is to sail around and blow up other ships. It runs decently on Wii U, much better than PS3 past that and I don't know comparison wise, maintains a decent frame rate most of the time only real exception is Havana, where it just doesn't. Ship combat is supposedly improved, all I can say is that both it and seafaring are pretty fun. Supposedly gun play is also improved, fair warning I did not play AC3, but after looking at the two games I determined that AC4 was better anyway. Also, Edward is a likable human being, pirate chanties are awesome, and it rarely needs you to leave the simulation. Game also looks pretty good, even if it doesn't look great. Overall, I would go with AC4 between those two, but if AC3's particularly less expensive you may want to play it first and see the improvements yourself.

Black Flag was the last video game I really played. It was fun, yet repetitive and pointless in the end. Didn't come anywhere close to finishing it.

I think I remember something about the guys in the band being pissed at the guitarist for money related problems, really sucky when a cool band ends like that.

I just did finish it, like yesterday. It was indeed repetitive, story or persons were not really nothing, those first person hacking stuff were also pretty horrible. It's fun first but then the game is pretty much chore. I first tried to do everything and after 30 hours I thought fuck it let's get this over with.

So Assassins creed 2 is still in my mind the best of those. Though I started creed 3 and that almost looked better and was mildly interesting but I haven't even gotten to connor I'm just haytham.

So in conclusion there are better games than any assassin's creeds so waste your money on those.

best part of 3 really

That's my experience with all of them, only usually I still end up quitting before the end. Everyone praises how much they pack into these games but unless you want to do it all I don't really see the point. I'd rather they cut half of it out and use their time and money enhancing core gameplay.

And the ending seemed pretty gliched (I mean bug worthy) especially because you just went back there and thought there was another final mission but it wasn't it was epilogue and the one lamest ever seen. And that glitch, did you saw those ships if you fast traveled drop from the sky in the gameplay? I even once was aboard.. anyway I heard screaming and people flying to the ship and minute later I realised that was it. Credits were rolling. =D

It was a pretty good game still 7 well 6,9, when I first started I was almost raving how good it was and was ready to say it was worth the 9, 40 hours make it 6,9. =)


Edit: I didn't really like that main character because he said 98 percent of the game "if there is some money to be had" basically he had nothing in persona. He was a pirate who was after money, even monkey island has better storyline

Voted but won't make a difference because requiring UPlay is a company policy (their own words) and they don't want to be bothered releasing manual patches.

With that being said, there might be a slight chance when Galaxy is released.

Well there was one occasion than it tried to make contact with ubi server and it was that mini game witch could have been fun even in single player but I had to hard quit that game with control panel because there wasn't time out, like try again later or something. It just got stuck there.

Edit: with patches.. especially in creed 3 you have to start and quit many times before it gets to the latest 1.06 patch. Six times in fact after you are installed the game

I've completely given up on Ubisoft. I won't tolerate their DRM and DLC policies, no matter how good the game is.
I'd love to see games like AC Unity released on GOG, DRM-free, but given how greedy and self-centered Ubisoft has become, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I have the game on PS3 and haven't touched it yet, looks cool though. I'll go ahead and vote for it, along with the rest of the series.

edit: oh, looks like I had already voted for them.

one person voted, one person voted.. one..oh it tries to vote again, ban that hide and make his gog loader unworkable.. =) And I got that game free when I bought gtx 760 witch suddenly is old school in recent Games.

970 is way to go but with these released games I'm not in a hurry there is a hideous and ugly looking (basically the same) backlog. But I like upgrading it's just that.. money problem though.

Very slight indeed. Even on Steam, it still requires Uplay to run.
