Assassin's Creed 3

I haven't seen this guy yet
Date played: November 25th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 8/10

Well, I'm in Boston now. There wasn't a mutiny on the ship but we did get attacked by another ship. We ran away and hid in a storm... As you can imagine, things didn't work out too well and I was tasked with fixing some ropes and stuff. It was epic really, the storm roaring in the background, the huge waves crashing against the ship and the amazing character animations made it really believable and exciting. Soon after, we reached Boston.

I made a friend quickly and settled in, meeting Benjamin Franklin along the way. The poor bastard lost his precious almanac pages in the city... First side quest! Anyway, after meeting up with my comrades, we assaulted a small red coat camp to recover a treasure that would help find the hidden precursor location. There was a lot of fighting, a lot of killing and a bit of escorting going on but the most interesting thing was the gun combat. As we all know, muskets are shit. Well guess what? They're shit in this game too. It takes forever to reload but they are still kind of fun to use. That's where I stopped playing but this is a lot better than I expected so far.
