I'm gonna enjoy it. But I'm not buying it new. I refuse to put money in the pockets of EA or Bioware. The Day 1 DLC bullshit has gone too far.

Ill agree with you on this dlc nonsense. I think they make more off that shit than the actual games nowadays.

You kids have way too much money. I don't buy ANY games new.

Jaxon · 02-29-2012, 07:22 PM

I buy games new because I want at least some of my money to go to the people that made them.

Also because I have too much disposable income and skewed priorities.

Servo · 02-29-2012, 08:03 PM

All I DO is ball out of control with new games. All day errrrrday. Its also easy to justify being as i only buy like a handfull of games a year. A game has to be damn good, or have a lot of replay value for me to even want to play it.

The only used game I have ever bought was ZoE2, and only because I was lucky enough to find it at a brand new GameStop before they'd even had their grand opening. They guy working there was surprised it had been shipped to them in their initial used stock.

Other than that, all new games for me because greedy stores aren't cool, and the $5 difference is insignificant.

Yeah, I'm pretty pissed at what EA/Bioware is pulling. Really, cutting shit from the main game then re-selling it as DLC to encourage revenue. That's just about as low as they could stoop. Seriously, I don't believe people sometimes. Didn't the devs of Gears have content that was on the disk but you had to pay money to unlock that shit? Nickle and diming us, man.

Ass Creed 3! American Revolution!

ACt · 03-01-2012, 07:41 AM

Damn. I was hoping for civil war so you could be the guy who shoots Lincoln.

Jaxon · 03-01-2012, 08:53 AM

Haha, oh man. That looks amazing.

Got high hopes for AC3, as the last two games were clearly side-projects. Hoping for the same jump of quality between AC1 and AC2.

***Demi-God*** · 03-01-2012, 09:54 AM

I just can't wait to assassinate someone with an axe.

ACt, who knows, with the way they went through 20 years in AC2, you might end up getting a few flashes of slightly more recent history to assassinations like that.

I have yet to start on Brotherhood or Revelations but hopefully this weekend, should get them both finished before this one comes out then I'll finally be caught up.

ACt · 03-01-2012, 11:05 AM

Doubt it. This is going to be about the rising frustrations of the colonists and they'll somehow put it in the vein that the British are now Templars (despite the British Empire at that point being Protestant) trying to control the minds of Americans, but that won't happen because FREEDOM!! Expect the Boston Tea Party, Ride of Paul Revere and a few other iconic moments to be redone with the help of the assassin indian who will be left out of history because he's an indian.

Wonder if there'll be anything about slavery.

Anyway, makes some sense. Canadians didn't fight against the British and now are kind, friendly people. We're utterly brainwashed.

ALL OF MY MONEY!!! TAKE IT!!

The Revolution was a rumored setting for the third game, I'm glad they went that direction.

AC:3

I'm sold. AC has been my favorite game series out of all the one's I've played thus far.

Went to gamestop to pick up Halo CE Anniversary and Halo Reach, saw Halo 4 is coming out. As well as Prototype 2. Both pre-ordered.

ACt · 03-01-2012, 04:14 PM

I'm guessing this might be material for some AC:3 side project games:

Hehe, the last one is hilarious:

Barack Obama

On November 11, 2011, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez shot as many as seven bullets at the White House, with two bullets hitting the White House, cracking a window. He was arrested in Pennsylvania and charged with the attempted assassination of President Barack Obama. Obama was never endangered because he was in Honolulu, Hawaii at the time for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.[40]
