Assassin’s Creed 3 Post-Game Write Up – If the world doesn’t end, we know who to thank.

Assassin’s Creed 3?  The game experience was good, but the game doesn’t hint at any closure at all.  Well, sorta.  After beating the game I felt…unsatisfied.  If they’re planning on releasing sequels to ACIII, then….
