Assassin’s Creed III - Games

[QUOTE=Bombadecasa;38555110]Hey, I was thinking of whipping out my brass knuckles and going out on black friday to get a copy for steam. If I buy it retail from the store can I add it to Steam? I'd really like the ease of using steam so if anyone can answer my question I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE] No, if you buy it retail and not on Steam you can only register it on Uplay.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38555128]No, if you buy it retail and not on Steam you can only register it on Uplay.[/QUOTE] Would I be able to play with people who had it on Steam? And also does anyone know if Steam does cyber monday?

[QUOTE=Bombadecasa;38555190]Would I be able to play with people who had it on Steam? And also does anyone know if Steam does cyber monday?[/QUOTE] Why wouldn't you be able to play with people who have it on steam ?

[QUOTE=FpShepard;38555351]Why wouldn't you be able to play with people who have it on steam ?[/QUOTE] Certain games (at least older ones) don't run off of steam matchmaking.

[QUOTE=Bombadecasa;38555403]Certain games (at least older ones) don't run off of steam matchmaking.[/QUOTE] Yeah and most games on steam don't have steam matchmaking in it :v:

Has there been any updates about the multiplayer connectivity issues?

Well this is great. Suddenly when launching my game through Steam the UPlay launcher is asking for my CD key again and when I enter it it says already in use and now I can't play. Anyone know how to fix this? Tried reinstalling the game and UPlay. Needing two launcher clients to play a game is a pain in the ass. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8XINP.png[/IMG]

Does anyone have a savegame for near the start of Sequence seven? Mine magically deleted. I REALLY NEED HELP HERE GUYS

[QUOTE=RichyZ;38557936]ubi has only recently made a couple of tweets about it, generic "we are looking into it" shit, and they have yet to actually issue a statement about it or post on the support forums[/QUOTE] That's nice. I'd like to actually be able to play the multiplayer before I lose interest.

oh man OH MAN you can draw dicks in the snow

the same it takes to screw in a lightbulb

[QUOTE=FpShepard;38554474][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VW-6gMJ6ao[/media][/QUOTE] Anyone know where this came from? I'm assuming it's a clip taken from somewhere.

I also didn't get why there's a "freeplay" after the ending. I mean, in the previous games it was like "Hey, Desmond, we're moving so you might want to spend time having fun in Animus". [sp]But now that Desmond is dead, who's the guy exploring memories? Desmond's father?[/sp]

The ending really reminded me of the final choice in [sp]Bastion.[/sp]

[QUOTE=gudman;38560230][sp]But now that Desmond is dead, who's the guy exploring memories? Desmond's father?[/sp][/QUOTE] there's 12 minutes of activity in the brain before death. think about it. [sp]his mind was falling apart and really fucked cause he used the animus so much[/sp]

Does anybody else have shit framerate? I'm mad they didn't include more options for graphics other than NORMAL and HIGH for Shadows, Textures and Environment. Have to lower my Resolution to the lowest possible on my 1920x1080 monitor, and with no windowed mode it's just really dumb. This gives me...maybe 20 FPS? 25 if I'm lucky.

My sequence 7 save just... disappeared. :suicide:

So I was fighting some guys near the docks and they jumped into the water and killed themselves, also in one of those stealth missions I accidentally shot a guard with the pistol, he was standing behind another guard, the other guard didn't even notice the guy die AND the sound of the pistol. 11/10 A.I

how is the pc port?

[QUOTE=redBadger;38562577]how is the pc port?[/QUOTE] Apparently lots of people have problems but I thought it would be worth to mention that it runs flawless for someone (me).

Just got it for PC. I can't even play the game. Every time I start single player , it gives me a black screen and crashes. I can play multiplayer just fine though.

Patch just released for PS3 and 360.

[QUOTE=Sommoch;38562833]Patch just released for PS3 and 360.[/QUOTE] What's inside?

How can the MP be dead day one? I can't find any games. I love the MP...

[QUOTE=SweFox*;38564796]How can the MP be dead day one? I can't find any games. I love the MP...[/QUOTE] Because many people who have the PC version can't play the multiplayer for no apparent reason. And Ubisoft has been rather quiet about it.

[QUOTE=GetBent;38564815]Because many people who have the PC version can't play the multiplayer for no apparent reason. And Ubisoft has been rather quiet about it.[/QUOTE] I have been in a couple of matches, would love to play more of it. I guess we gotta wait.
