Connor Kills Reds And Blues In Assassin's Creed III's New Engine

I could care less about any other game right now, I NEED this.

Already bought it thanks to that deal from Newegg you guys posted last week. I was tempted to go for the CE for the pretty badass statue of Connor, but the rest of the stuff in the American CE is kind of lame.

I just can't get on board with AC. I'm almost finished with Brotherhood and I'm so phucking bored I can't bring myself to pick it back up. There's barely any emotional attachment and it's getting almost as repetitive as the original AC. Yes, playing as an assassin is cool, as well as the whole Memory-encoded DNA thing, but come on. I need better character development and a more engaging story to keep this up.

I actually find the story to be the most engaging thing about this series, with all the cliffhangers and conspiracies. But then I think I like the Desmond storyline a lot more than other people.

I actually really enjoyed Revelations, though i admit it was flawed in some areas. The Desmond sections were boring and the den defense was crap, though it was easy to avoid once you figured it out.

I loved the city since i have Muslim friends at work who play it, and it was cool to talk to them about it and get their input on the city. Plus i think it had some of the best action setpieces, like the aquaduct templar lair chasing the boat. I also loved Bombs and the hookblade, made getting around so much easier.

I have really high hopes for ACIII, even more since the American Revolution is my second favorite historical subject, right behind Europe's ship exploring days and th disccovery New World.

Only **** i will give is if the combat system vastly improves.
