Assassin's Creed III Shaping Up To Be Immensely Popular
Assassin's Creed IIIIt's guaranteed to be one of the biggest games of 2012 and ever since being unveiled, Assassin's Creed III has been a hot topic of conversation.
That's the reason why the game is breaking pre-order records. According to Ubisoft's early numbers, in the three weeks since the pre-order campaign started, ACIII has already exceeded the total number of US pre-orders for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. As for the recent Revelations, ACIII has already taken in three times the number of pre-orders in that same three-week time frame.
By the way, if you are one of the many who put your deposit on this promising game, you'll grab a special steelbook package featuring art by Alex Ross. Ubisoft predicts that by the time E3 comes up in June, ACIII will have dispatched Revelations as the most pre-ordered game in the publisher's history (again, we're only referring to the US). Lastly, Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key said the game in question "would enjoy the biggest marketing commitment in company history." Yep, expect a very big push...
Assassin's Creed III is slated to hit on October 30.

That adds a level of depth I can appreciate.

It's sort of like watching a really good movie, only for a bunch of new and disruptive people to enter the theater at the movies plot twist.
I normally don't have a problem with these new guys, but they should have bought a ticket beforehand. Not halfway in.
Then again, that's just the AC fanboy talking.

However, the gameplay things we've heard of, and Connor's story have interested me greatly. Also the fact that the American Revolution is merely the setting and not the purpose of the story allows for some excellent depth. Looking forward to the game, for sure.

i really enjoyed filling in the back story in AC2 and brotherhood and was really pissed off when i found out they were gone for revelations!
i really hope this closes out desmonds story too.
i doubt it will, i thought the whole point of the AC series was to train desmond up and find the location of the pyramids.
weve done both of those, so now why are we going back into the animus playing as another predecessor?
shouldent we be playing as desmond in current time searching for those pyramids?
eh whatever, i just hope this has a indepth complex story like AC2 did!
if not im done with the AC series for good!
this is EXACTLY why things cant become popular these days!
as soon as they do they get milked to hell and the originality and ambition goes down the drain.........

It is a bit confusing because of the ending of ACR (won't spoil it here, but if you've played it you'll know), but Connor will definitely have a big part in locating what Desmond and Co. are looking for. I'm hoping the same, that the story is as great as AC2's, that was definitely my favorite Assassin's creed.
