Assassin’s creed’s main selling point is and always has been its single player
When a new assassins creed is announced people don’t say
“oh I wonder what new game modes there will be?”
People say
“oh I wonder what’s going to happen to Desmond and the modern day assassins
Okay as someone who has many a prestige star I have spent time training with Abstergo but I have speant more hours than I can count enthraled in the single players riveting campaign

I wonder if fans who prefer single player are slowly becoming the minority? I mean… it just seems like this franchise is focusing as much effort on mp as they do with sp. Normally that isn’t bad if the game is suitable for an all-around experience but I think we can agree that AC has always been about following one ancestor and basking in serene enviroments by ourselves. It’s too bad that mp oriented games make more money nowadays.

I haven’t heard how long AC3′ll be but I hope it takes at least 30 hours for a veteran player to complete. And none of that 100%-sync-restart-a-dozen-times nonsense, and hopefully not too many renovations either…

I play both – it is the main campaign that I buy the games for though. But having said that I understand what Alex is getting to there – if a game is too long then it risks over stretching the story and losing the interest of the player. To keep it fast paced and interesting they usually have to sacrifice a bit of length. The multiplayer has the better potential for long running game play as its more open and there isn’t really much of a story that you play along (other then a templar agent moving through the ranks) so I can understand putting more focus on its updates and things.

Besides we already know they’ve put a massive effort into the single player section in terms of story and actions etc so I’m not worried about that disappointing me yet.

Of all the MP PVP games I have played AC’s is pretty good but I purchase it for the SP storyline which has kept me captivated.

Though the addition of PVP has made it entertaining to challenge friends to matches, I look forward to both aspects of MP and SP when AC3 comes out

@koreandemon Try playing it more than once, maybe that’ll help. Other games can wait.

Something I forgotto mention last time: not sure how popular lvling recruits are but I find that it really detracts from the game. I feel like I’m a kid again playing pokemon.

the MP was fun in terms of playing with friends and annoying them XD

@mysticheero Still want to beat you… I will… one day XD
