A question about Assassin's Creed on PC

[Byrogan]

Hey guys, so the last three AC games I bought 1, 2 & revelations were all on xbox but now that I'm more into PC gaming I'm deciding whether or not to get AC3 for xbox or PC so just wondering if someone who has played any AC game on PC could let me know how it's like on it, I've heard some mixed reviews about the games from ubisofts DRM to controls being a bit.. well, shit, so what's it really like?

People complain way to much about DRMs, so don't worry about that.

About the controls: I personally like the PC controls better, but if that's really a big deal you can just plug in a X-box controller.

Edit: Also, with the PC controls, you can just rebind something you don't like.

DRM? I have AC1&2 on PC, no DRM problems.

[Byrogan]

Yeah I was mainly going of what people said on other sites, personally I've never had a problem with any game that's had DRM. Just a few more questions, what's the multiplayer like? Is it a big community?

The only problem in playing on PC is you need to wait more 3 months than console.

[Byrogan]

Bumpski's, would love to know more about multiplayer and online for PC.

Played the first one for a while on PC and refuse to give Ubisoft any more money.

The game is great, but make sure you have a controller, it doesn't play well on a mouse+keyboard.

And as for the DRM, as long as you have a steady internet connection (no hickups) and their servers aren't going down/being moved (like they went down a few times during the Steam sale lol) you're good to go. It all depends on if you think the game is worth supporting DRM or not.

I have played all assassin's creeds on pc with xbox 360 pad. Mouse/keyboard controls were awful for my taste.

[Valeron]

Yeah definitely use a controller if you play on the PC. It feels a lot more natural to play with one.

Cheers guys, AC2 is like $9 for PC at EB so might pick that up to get a feel of the controls and then decide whether or not to get a receiver for the controller.
