You can definitely play SP without update, got tired of waiting now and just started playing in offline mode. PC looks sooo much better than console!

Umm I played the first Assassin's Creed and no other ones past 20mins or so. Is it necessary to have played all the others before playing this one?
Thanks that's good news!!!
As far as I know, no you don't have to. I missed some of the games, but it seems that the Desmund story has been abandoned for a silent protagonist. And the pirate story should be standing on it's own. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for.
Ok so I cracked and got the PC version. Damn you all.
How big was that update?
The first time I went in it was about 650mb, but then Uplay went offline for some reason and when I restarted it showed the update as about 250mb. Not sure if it's Uplay being crazy or if it did actually download 400mb in the time I left it, but it does show that it's downloading at between 40 and 60kbps, which is really slow considering I have a 4mb line.
I did play SP without the patch for about an hour now and when I went back in to do the update it carried on from where I left it, so that's cool at least. It's still doing about 40kbps though, which is not cool, but I think my connection is a bit slow for some reason at the moment since I tested it now and it's not just Uplay that's slow.
Ok I'm loving this, best way to describe it one sentence is that it's like brotherhood but with pirates. Havana is dense and perfect for free running and I'm pinching myself with the graphics.
