I try to do this with most games now-a-days. I still enjoy them, but the story missions (and story itself) is far more of an important use of my time the side missions and sailing for hours. There are just far too many games to play and I have been behind for some time now.

Hell I still need to try and finished the Dishonored DLC. And there were a few games I want to replay or finish re-playing but I just do not have the time.


Also AC comes out EVERY YEAR. So it is not like I need to enjoy every drop thinking I wont get any for years to come.

Get off the forum now flatout you need to finish that dlc
I kind of feel the same this year. I really want to rush through it as the modern day part is really interesting, but at the same time there is so much to do

I am actually playing, working, and on the forum today.


Yeah it is okay so far but i am not too far in. I did not like how we meet the Assassins but it may change in a good way.

I don't like that at all with this game. Spoiler below:

Spoiler!

right off the bat you meet an 'assassin' who turned wannabe Templar. When you kill him you throw away the hidden blade because you don't know what it is, but if you go hunt an animal immediately you use the hidden blade. In chapter 2 you are then given hidden blades to prove your skills and magically you know how to be an assassin. TADA!

As a mega fan of the story and lore, so far I am disappoint.

I completely agree. It is one thing for people to say it does not take itself seriously but really the begging of the game is just poorly written. I think they could just not get a really good idea for how to get pirates involved somehow with Assassins.

What an idiot throwing that away. If nothing else he could've put it on ebay. I'm sure people here would've shown an interest.

I am sure some here would assassinate someone for it (pun intended).


One thing i have noticed that is way better (small change), chest only need you to tap the button to open. Although it does not work half them time it seems.

Now they need to do that for pickpocketing. That is one area where realism makes the game suffer (not that groping the body looks realistic for looting).

Assassin's here ?


"Tap to open", I still hold the button down. Force of habit. What about the splinter cell lock pick system used in AC III ? That could give a clue to how far I haven't got.
