Well I used a 360 gamepad and it played perfectly fine, aiming was a little slower however as the game was more jumping, running etc the gamepad was better suited IMO.

Yeah, controller suits the game more.
I have just got to New York, enjoying it so far. I must admit, I have been skipping nearly every cutscene though. The story is painfully dull and stupid and I'm glad I have only played AC2 because it's basically the same game. I would have got bored by now if I had played brotherhood and revelations.

Relelations was boring as hell. To be honest, I didn't actually buy that one but played the game on the PS3, screen tear feast it was, but AC1 and AC2 on the PC were very good.
Haven't tired brotherhood, AC3 however has a much more interesting story line IMO. The cutscenes are very good, excellent voice acting I felt..
Play a bit more tonight... Missus is going out so thats me all sorted.
I have just got to New York too, I am enjoying it. I think the cut scenes are well done but there are just so many of them! Not skipping them though.
I find myself becoming a bit obsessed with the Home Stead Missions, a bit sims like but fun enough.

Just finished this tonight, game gets better towards the last 3 sequences, I also got carried away with homestead missions.
It was a fun game, aw heck, amazing for a freebie. Just something was lacking, maybe it was the few sequences of tutorial-esque stuff.
a lot of great ideas that just need to be worked upon.

So is this worth £18 of my hard earned monies.... ?

TIA

It is definately an Assassins' Creed game, if you liked the others you will like this.
There are a lot of cut scenes but it is a good game.
I just love walking in the woods and hidden blade stabbing a raccoon or beaver - good stress relief! Although linked with above this will lead to a video but you can skip it.

I'm stuck where I have ripped two wanted posters down & have to escort Sam to the Green dragon, he won't move & if I set off I he won't follow & just stands there. restarted the sequence & it still the same, is it a bug, am I missing something ?
Anyone else having trouble playing the Tyranny of George Washington DLC? It's shown up on my options list (I have the Deluxe version with the season pass) but when I try and play, it tells me content is unavailable and to check my Uplay gamepage. It's not listed there.
Edit.
Appears it's a fault with the place I got it from. Greenman Gaming. Unresolved...
Edit. Now resolved.

I picked up AC3 in the Steam deal yesterday... does it get better; about 90minutes in and I am BORED to tears, every 2 steps is another cut scene, I am using a 360pad but movement feels clunky; the main guy just grates on me :/
I've played all the others and enjoyed them but this feels so different, I had to turn it off; does it get better - should I battle through a bit more for it to open up?

I have the same issue as I bought Deluxe Version from steam yesterday

I am about 3 hours in, and I felt like you, but it has got better. As for the main guy grating on you.....just give it a bit longer.
I am enjoying it. It is hardly a sharp departure from previous titles, but it does have a different feel to it. The story seem pretty good so far, and most of the mechanics have been improved. I am not the biggest fan of the setting, but it isn't bad....hard to live up to renaissance Italy to be fair.
Getting terrible performance though, for a game that looks this bad!

I am actually opposite and enjoying it
However the game still seems to have FPS issues especially in Boston as my fps drop a lot from say 45-60FPS to 14-18 FPS @1080p
GPU usage goes down to around 30% and CPU usage is around 70%. This is with Q9650@4Ghz and 5850 1GB
The CPU load isn't evenly spread out in Boston (May be for the whole game) as one core seems to be fully utilised and then the following cores taking less and less load

I'm enjoying it.
FPS issues though, that's with my 2500k at 4.8GHZ and 7970 at 1GHZ.
CPU bottlenecking all over the place.
I don't get 10 FPS though, it's completely playable all maxed out at 1080p.

Some parts become boring & repetitive, the sailing ones are mostly the same although you will need the practice ready for AC IV which is to be set on tropical islands battling pirates, so it'll be Farcry 3 meets assassins creed meets Tomb raider by the sound of it

I get that error, but it still lets me play it.
I am really enjoying it at. The Connor bits are good, if a little all over the place, and there seems plenty to do, especially now that the world has opened up a bit. I enjoyed the sailing too. The main Desmond story though ....My word! What a load of nonsense!
Performance is the main thing that is threatening to spoil it for me. FPS are low but bearable, but the bugs and glitches are far too numerous, especially considering how long the game has been out. Textures popping up all over the place, people walking through things and appearing/disappearing during cutscenes, companion A.I...not played many games this bad tbh. To me, this game looks no better than the AC2 trilogy, but whereas I could max them easily, I have had to turn settings down on this(land quality and shadows) and I still get terrible performance.
Still, you know what you are getting with the AC games, hardly pushing boundaries, but they are quality games(though with this one, not in terms of optimization!). I think the game was really a bridge too far....This must surely be the last AC game with this engine? It is practically the same as AC2 however many years ago. Still great, but needs a change!

Agreed, it's totally ruins the immersion in to the past & the game would be better without it
I was very apprehensive about this game for a long time, due to the setting/main character not appealing and the lack of progress with gameplay, which just seemed the same as the last 3 games(which it is), plus I really wanted a French Revolution setting. I have to say that this really is very good though. The story is all over the place but it is still good. Having said that though, technically it is shocking.
I really love the AC games, but the series does need a refresh tbh. I don't know if the French Revolution is out of the question as a setting?....I doubt they will go back in time. A Paris/London early 19th century setting would be perfect imo.

I wanted to see the next one set in medieval London with all the well known landmarks & castles etc but the next one AC IV Black flag being set in the tropics with pirates is a rather strange diversion.
It looks promising in terms of variety of things to with underwater sunken treasure ships etc. and does include actual historical characters as per previous versions.
