Assassin's Creed III Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed

Several retailers already announced their pre-order incentives for Assassin's Creed III.

... yet lots of content will be locked out because of retailer-exclusive content(!)

... Yet one more game I won't be buying until there's a complete release.

While I find the numerous pre-order bonuses frustrating as well, I would hardly consider a couple different skins and weapons "lots of content." These are apparently for Germany though, so maybe North America's will be different. We shall see I suppose.

[spektical]

disagree. as long as the content isnt game based. Skins are irrelevant to how a game moves a long. Weapons should be early unlocks similar to wat DICE did with BC2.

[Canary]

Kind of depends on the game. If it's got a lot of different skins IN the game, that's all well and good. But if it's like, say, Tales of Graces, and there are only a handful of in-game costumes, selling new ones at $8 a pop is NOT COOL.

True
but I remember a time when all this stuff was included in the game as special unlocks.
Ah PS2 how I've missed you

You guys realize the thing is that these shouldn't have to be bonuses and regional.. Even if they are just simple skins, the context of the bonus stuff is irrelevant, why not include them for everybody? Exactly.

For example I pre-ordered MK, I got Jade klassik kostume, some people got bunch load of them. Now, we propably payed the same price, both pre-ordered it, and I would have to wait until these kostumes come to the PSN and spend more money on them.. Becouse I ordered the game from somewhere else, come on.. it's stupid. Not as stupid as Epic asking 3 € for "green skins for guns", an old Pc-dev, which you can do in couple minutes on PC platform by yourself.. But as long as the console growd will buy this kind of milking, it won't end.

And no, I never bought the kostumes, I'm not that stupid, that's patch stuff, or atleast used to be before current gen-consoles.. But it was just an example.

That Kostume thing annoyed me too, I still don't have the classic costumes - a few were unavailable for the UK originally as well.

[Reborn]

I'd only be disappointed if its SP missions. Other than that, skins for MP etc, don't really tickle me. I don't play AC MP, couldn't find myself into it.

MULTIPLAYER IS ALL I CARE ABOUT

[ironfist92]

And you are whats wrong with gaming today

[J86blum]

I hope the US Amazon does that Captain Outfit with the brass pistol, I dig it plus the hat looks cool kinda remindes me of Brotherhood of the Wolf.

NOT WORTH IT

[ShiftyLookingCow]

The girl's outfit in the Multiplayer promotion looks extremely weird.

As a man one of the few heroines I wish I could play is Joan of Arc.

It would be nice if someone made a game with her in some alternate setting or something.

[Kahvipannu]

Joan of Arc is interesting character, and I agree, it would be great to see her in videogames more, like many other's. Only game I can recal having her is the Age of Empires II, her campaign was pretty enjoyable.

I'm not sure if I am that excited about Civil-war theme for AC 3, but I'm ok with it. More advanced era could bring some new interesting mechanics in the game, but still, I would had hoped some kind of classic era, like ancient Egypt or Rome. But yeah, gameplay wise US civil-war makes sense, and it's quite fresh setting still.
