Despite being a month and a half away from release, Assassin’s Creed III’s achievements have already surfaced online. Weighing in at 50 awards (four are denoted as “Secret Acheivements”), the achievements add up to the Microsoft-required 1000 Gamerscore points and, presumably, will correspond in a similar manner to PlayStation Network trophies.
As evidenced by the lasting demand for Metal Gear Solid 4‘s trophy support earlier this year, achievements are a big deal among hardcore gamers and passionate fanbases. They’re also conducive to spoilers. And while not all of us here weren’t brave enough to peruse the entire list, breaking down every potential mission or the names attached to each achievement, there are a few revealing tidbits about side quests, collectables, combat moves, multiplayer leveling, and explorable landmarks that present themselves right away. Continue on at your own discretion.

I’m playing through this series like a man possessed. Brotherhood at the moment… I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH IN TIME!
Of course you will, the games are only 6-8 hours long lol
Yeah story wise they don’t take long at all. Should you attempt the entire trophy set it becomes a bit longer but I enjoy this series a lot and the entertainment to time ratio is favorable for me.
Oh, I’m definitely working towards full completion. I just wrapped on ACII and all the DLC with 98% (after deciding to tell the feather mission to go and do one), so I’m trying to cram in as much Brotherhood as poss.
Downloaded by XBA too
Good Luck on the Brotherhood Multiplayer trophies, they were a pain in the booty.
Revelations was WAY too easy, by far the easiest of all the games.
I spent 30 hours per game. Each games main story mode is at least 10-15 hours. Don’t know where’ you’re getting 6 hours from.
Ha! That’s exactly what I was thinking…
The reason the games take such a long time, for me, and you could rush through them, is that they feel like real living breathing worlds. The attention to detail is frequently astounding to me, it is really like being able to travel back in time and see what these places used to be like.
@DSB, couldn’t have said it better myself.
I like to take my time with the AC games and spend some time exploring and appreciating the incredible cities that feature in them.
Plus, getting all those trophies are pretty time consuming as well.
)
I’m still struggling to get platinum on AC Brotherhood (I hate it when games assign trophies for multiplayer gameplay
Some of these sound nice and lengthy, hopefully the 100% on all Main Mission objectives will be challenging, unlike Revelations.
I hope there is a plot twist that reveals Lucy is not dead. That really sucked.
Spoilers brother.
I’m still AC2.
Thats a bummer.
Saying that lucy is dead isnt a spoiler, the game came out a year ago so its kind of up to you to get up to date with the storyline.
it is when you haven’t played through them yet. I avoid potential spoiling articles. Now if a trophy was called Lucy’s resurrection or something and then I read that comment I wouldn’t has said anything. Just got into theses games like not even that long ago. Trying to finish before oct 30. Its not my job to keep up on games I don’t play.
What Chris said.
#Brotherhood.
She deserved it. Even if Desmond didn’t know she was still a Templar, Juno did.
@potatosalad
SPOILERS
She was a templar!!?!? WTF did I miss? lol
