100% wins beaten celebration!

Thank you! Considering the state of my stats ('You have won 10 fewer games...") it seems like I'll need it!

Btw is there any other way to find out how much wins you have played because the link that you gave is group only.
And congrats on your 100% wins beaten :)

Yeah 90% of them are great games:) I’m only joining giveaways of games I know I’ll play. The only one I had to forced myself was “legions of ashword”, but even it was pleasure when I learned the rules:)

It's not horrible and it's perfectly playable, but if you played the Ezio trilogy first, then three is disappointing. If you've played 4 first, it will probably also be disappointing. By itself, it's not the worst game. Keep in mind I haven't played any of the games passed Black Flags so I can't judge those.

Assassins Creed 3 is actually the fifth game in the series. It's the first time you see the assassins Connor and Haytham BUT the modern day storyline has been continuing since the first game. It's a direct sequel every time. That's why you might be confused just starting there since the story has been going on since the first game.

Abstergo is a corporation that is a front for modern day templar activities. In the games, Templars are bad and the enemy of the assassins. It's one of the largest corporations in the world and is responsible for a lot of technological advances. Their primary mission is to destroy the assassin order. Abstergo also created the animus,, which is the machine that subjects such as Desmond Miles can use to tap into his assassin ancestors (such as the ones in the games.)
Since you are starting on the third game, I'm going to write you a recap of the modern day story only, so you won't be confused about who abstergo is, what the animus is, and who Desmond is. It should catch you right up to the game you are playing now. Please don't read it if you plan to play the first four games before three. Only read if you don't want to play those games and you want to jump right into the third game. Heavy spoilers!

In the first Assassins Creed game, a bartender named Desmond Miles is kidnapped by Abstergo Industries. The reason is because Desmond is a descendant of Assassin Ancestors such as Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, etc. He basically has assassin blood. He was forced into the animus, which is a machine that helps him relive the genetic memories of his ancestors. It's the machine that allows you to play as the assassins you play in all the games. In this case Abstergo wanted Desmond to access Altair, which is the assassin you play in the first game. So the modern day stuff is what is happening in real time,the assassins you play are the memories that the subject is reliving through. Abstergo kidnapped Desmond and hooked him up to the machine so that he would access Altairs memories and find the peices of Eden. The peices of Eden are very powerful artifacts. Desmond managed to escape Abstergo with the help of an undercover assassin named Lucy. He then joined a group of other undercover assassins. Their names were Shaun and Rebecca, alongside Lucy.

In Assassins Creed 2, the modern assassins created an upgraded version of the animus so Desmond could enter and find the apple of Eden. If they found the artifacts, then the templars wouldn't and the power wouldn't be in their hands. To do that, they helped him enter the animus and live the memories of one of his assassin ancestors, Ezio Auditore (one of the best assassins ever in the series.) They found the apple, but also learned of these ancient beings from the first civilizations. Think of them as powerful spiritual beings. They were alive and had extraordinary abilities. One of them was named Juno.

In Brotherhood, Desmond once again plays the assassin Ezio Auditore. At the end, the being Juno reveals to Desmond that Lucy, the woman who rescued him and claimed to be an assassin was actually a traitor and working for the templars. She was his love interest, but Juno controlled Desmonds body and forced Desmond to stab her and kill her. Realizing what he had done to someone he deeply cared about, he went into shock and slipped into a coma. The only way the team knew how to save him was to force him back into the animus to save his life.

This is where the game Revelations comes in. In that coma, Desmond relives the memories of both Altair (from the first game) and Ezio (from the past two games). He learns the fate and ending of both of those assassins. I'll spare you those details though since we are only catching you up on the relevant modern day storyline. While in coma, Desmond ran into another former subject, Subject 16, who was named Clay. Clay was also taken by Abstergo but killed by the animus. His memory lived on in the animus. Clay helped Desmond regain consciousness and he woke up.

This is where you come in. The third game takes place right after Desmond wakes up. Now he is entering the memories of Connor and Haytham and you'll see from there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.:)

It's a little hard to get through the first game because its really repetitive. Second one picks up a lot though.

I totally relate to the severe procrastination :P

View attached image.

2 open world games (one of them Skyrim) at once?! That's quite the time-sink hahaha. Yeah basically any single player game I play has to endure occasional neglect while I get distracted by binge-watching TV shows, other gaming regulars or just life as a whole.

I try to play my wins, I normally just enter the games I know I'm going to play/wishlisted. I had that one wishlisted to... Sadly, it was worst than I was expecting :P

I think the game is okay but thinking of it as a sequel hurted it a lot. It's more like a different game in a similar ambience than a direct sequel or an spin off.

That being said, for me the biggest flaw it's how they present the story. They don't tell you barely anything, not about the world, the characters, items, races, etc. Sure, you talk with people, you discover things, but it's not as soft/sweet/well written as if... maybe Pillars of Eternity.

You have also some 'things' called 'fluencies' (unless the translation it's shitty and invented) and those fluencies change and depends on how you talk, react and act... Still have no idea what they are and what or how they affect me. It felt disconnected, way when I was making sense of where I was... the game was on the final straight. You can complete it in about 20ish hours.
