Ok, so I just got it and its pretty awesome, but I have a few questions about it.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, in the very first sequence after the title AC3 is revealed, you meet Ben Franklin, and he asks u to find 4 pages from his book. After I spoke to him, the cursor told me to go on a horse with another guy, and then we rode away from that area, and I never found the pages. How do you go back to an area is my question? I looked for the pages and couldnt find them in that area, but now im way far away from that.....

My other question is....

Im being notified of messages etc often, but I dont know how to read the messages, when I go into the animus database, it wll tell me I have a new email, but I dont know how to open it up.


Sorry if these are dumb questions lol, but Im completely new to the franchise, so alot of the gameplay is unclear to me so far. Very cool though. Thanks!

Im in the middle of the game and i do remember a few pages scattered around the game world. You can get them at anytime as i missed my first chance at them in the beginning. They should be an indicator on your map that shows you their location when you get back to boston. The messages and emails that the game constantly notifies you that you get can be accessed when you leave the animus. You'll know you left when you are in the present time as the main character. There should be a computer around his area that you can check the emails and messages.

sweeett this is actually really helpful stuff. And I dont need to be playing those minigames right? like the checkers type games im always seeing?

You don't have to play the checkers game. Im sure there is some type of not good achievement for it on the ps3 and xbox version, but you dont have to worry about it here. If you do want achievements though, make sure to download the Uplay app and set up your account. it adds a few achievements to all ubisoft games which lets you buy rewards with the points.

O sweeet...Good dealio. Thanks for the help all.

Couple more questions....sorry to be a pain lol but this game is awesome, however very confusing........

ok so, How do I see my current objective? Right now im traveling with somebody, but it doesnt give me a destination on my mini map......and also......what does it mean when the circle is filled in an objective? like some of them have a circle with a full dot inside, and some are just hollow circles....any ideaS? Thanks.

Are the controls way different from on nonWiiu consoles?

[RGKID144]

color matters then. green=objective is in that area, find out where it is or the hints for it.
blue=stay in that area, you will usualy be guarding someone/thing for this one.
bluedot=someone you have to stay near/a ally.
yellow= stay in the area and preform easdrop.

dont remember any hollow circles.

[RGKID144]

Awesome thanks for the help tboss....


So now my question is.....do I really suck? Or is there some secret I'm not getting lol...

I'm in the first quest basically where ur running around with lee and you have to get him to the waterfront.....I was not too bad at eavesdropping, I think I'm getting the hang of it.....but when we approached the waterfront, and I had to kill guys without being noticed, I was terrrribleee.....how do I stealthily creep up around guys? Am I doing something wrong?

Just got this for Xmas! Stoked!

Jeez the intro is super long but I much prefer this on Wii U than the consoles and other than the long cutscenes the gameplay is outstanding. Anybody else get this for Xmas???

It seems to have got mixed reviews. Apparently the main problem is that the game is really slow in the beginning with the first six hours being a tutorial. If you have the patience to get through that them it does get better after that. That said it seems to have been hyped a lot before release and doesn't seem to have entirely lived up to that hype. At least that's the general consensus.

I don't know, I think it's pretty awesome, actually. The plot is really good!

lol im liking it so far.....im not CRAZY about it......but im enjoying it....but I do feel my self stopping for a few days at a time because i just dont feel as invested as I should? I dunno, the plot is ok, but I do really enjoy the gameplay. The one thing Im not crazy about is the way things arent really explained to the player. Maybe its just me, but I dont really know how im supposed to be doing things.....for example, should I be walking around not trying to be seen by redcoats? should I be trying to kill them if they see me? or run away? There are a ton of things with the way the game is played that just isnt explained well, and it takes a toll on your ability to stay with the game when and gets frustrating to continuously run away from redcoats, or attempt to kill them when your not even supposed to be in the area....i dunno im enjoying it, but there seems something missing in how the developers chose to explain how the game is played.

Update: I just finished squence 5, and there is a major transition when I met with the guy by the sea who shows you the map and lets you fast travel. This to me was major. It actually showed me the world to which the game is set in, and that there is much more going on then just boston etc. up until this point, I havent really noticed a point to playing the game, or where the game was headed, and what to do.....but this was actuallyr eally important for me. Being able to see  larger map, and see icons and missions and things I can go back to and look for is major. IVe heard other people say it too, but I agree that if you are playing this game, dont give up until youve gone through at least sequence 5, because the game just changes drastically.
