Nice. I debated on making an official thread, even though there's so much info on the 'Character Leaked' thread.

Can't wait.

Here's the choose your own path trailer.

...

That was my thought too until OP made this, I like the idea of an Official thread even though it doesn't matter haha

I am so excited for this game. Myself and two of my roommates are all getting this on launch day for Xbox 360.

PS3-exclusive DLC spans four missions to expose Benedict Arnold.

My feeling is that

Arnold may actually be an assassin himself working against the Templars in power in both the US and British forces

.

They better release some free 360-exclusive DLC in the near future to compensate for the PS3 DLC.

AC tends to favor PS3 (Brotherhood had exclusive DLC [Copernicus Conspiracy], Revelations had the original AC on disc). Copernicus Conspiracy was nothing major, just a few side missions that didn't affect the story.

Is the PS3 DLC free or paid? Because if PS3 users have to pay for the PS3 DLC I don't know why anyone would expect the 360 to get free DLC.

As one might be able to tell from my avatar, I am very much looking forward to both ACIII & Liberation on the VIta :cool:

1. Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.

2. Hide in plain sight.

3. Never compromise the brotherhood.

You'll be forgiven if you've already forgotten the three tenets of the Assassin's Creed. There have been four games released in the span of five years, each building on the network of assassins and the lore leading up to 2012, the end of all things, the apocalypse, or so we think.

Before Assassin's Creed III lands on Tuesday, let's take a look back at where Desmond Miles, our modern-day, over-arching protagonist began and where Ubisoft has taken him throughout the centuries. Beware: there will be spoilers below.

Ubisoft?s ?Assassin?s Creed III? is set to be released on October 30 for Xbox 360 andPS3, meanwhile the Nintendo Wii U will launch with ?Assassin?s Creed III? on November 18.

As the game release nears, additional information regarding the game?s length has been shared on Friday evening.

According to CD-Action, a Polish video game magazine, ?Assassin?s Creed III? should provide a fairly lengthy adventure for those who buy the game next week.

An Ubisoft forum user named ?1 Khasim 1? has shared details from the latest issue od CD-Actionwhich claims ?Assassin?s Creed III? is 20 hours long in terms of story length. Additionally, completion of all side missions will add an extra 20 hours of game time ? so in the general area of 40 hours total.

?1 Khasim 1? posted on the Ubisoft forum:

The journalist claims that the main quests in AC3 takes around 20 hours, and completing all the side missions and challenges should last another 20 hours

Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that ?Assassin?s Creed III? is the highest pre-ordered game in Ubisoft history with the game bringing in double the pre-orders of ?Assassin?s Creed Revelations?

IGN: 8.5

IGN Users: 9.4

Metacritic: 84 (xbox 360) & 89 (PS3)

Metacritic Users (both consoles): 8.0

Possibly playing this evening.

Those are some reliable reviews. :rolleyes:

You have paid reviews by IGN

IGN fan boy reviews.

Gamed reviews on Metacritic

and Metacritic fanboys

Sounds like to me you've already got it in your head to dislike the game (though I could be wrong?)

How do you figure that exactly?

Quoting 'fanboys' on the user reviews made it sound like anyone giving it a good review is simply a fanboy. What if the user reviews were trashing it? What's the point of user reviews at all if they're just discounted as fanboy drivel?

As a note, I'm neutral on the AC series and am waiting for more reviews before I make a purchase decision. Just wondering why people discount user reviews so fervently (I know there are a lot of trolls on Metacritic, but they're generally on MMO or Sports games.).

Another note... I run a site similar in spirit to IGN, that allows registered user reviews. How would you suggest I go about making user reviews more credible? I'm really interested in this subject.

Have you read any of the user reviews?

Here's a good example:

"AC3 is a all new AC Experience, it has a Read Dead Redemption feeling and the best things that you love on AC series. You watch the trailers, demos and theres no surprise, it is amazing like you saw by Ubisoft. Maybe GOTY 2012."

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
