This game gets a lot of hate. Personally I loved it, the game, and the main character, Connor, is a really deep character.
The reason why this game gets hate is the super slow tutorial part, that lasts the first 5 hours. Once you get past that, the game becomes really fluid and fun.
Don't believe anything other reviewers say, make your own opinions.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Assassin's Creed III plays it's best card up front. As the game opens, it's 1754 and we find ourselves at the Theatre Royale, and in the shoes of Haytham Edward Kenway, a debonair killer hailing from London. He's here on a mission to assassinate some poor fellow, and while the premise is certainly commonplace for the franchise, it's the setting that differentiates it. The theatre is packed, and the atmosphere is perfect.

This is how Assassin's Creed III opens, and for the first hour or so, Kenway's exploits were entertaining, until a sudden plot twist jumps the story forward five years and changes to a new protagonist.

Most of the game is spent as Ratohnhaké:ton, a Mohawk boy who seeks to avenge the death of his mother during an attack on his village when he was five years old. Ratohnhaké:ton's encounters with the last Assassin in the colonies are humorous, and serve as good fun to break up the serious tone of most of his life thus far. Ratohnhaké:ton's character is often criticised as bland, and it is clear to see where this is coming from. The character himself is not bland, but his single-minded aggression and determination hold back the story from having any sort of variety. Other characters, however, are genuinely dull, such as the interpretations of historical figures like George Washington and Samuel Adams.

The storytelling has some major issues, largely to do with the developers trying to ensure that Ratohnhaké:ton plays a major role in every famous event in the American Revolution. It's a novelty at best, and doesn't add anything to the overall experience. Despite

The gameplay deviates from previous games with completely redefined free-running and combat systems. The former is absolutely an improvement on the dated navigation of the past, but the combat is two-dimensional and lacks depth.

Stealth is still non-existent—with no dedicated crouch button, the most strategy one can hope to achieve is hiding behind corners or in bushes and hoping some poor bugger walks past you.

From a technical point of view, Assassin's Creed III is undeniably unimpressive, with random glitches such as clipping issues with horses and ugly character models, though the main characters are graphically well-realised. The art style is beautiful despite these limitations, from the lavish Georgian interiors of colonial buildings to the muddy, dirty streets of New York to the wild expanses of the Frontier.

Assassin's Creed III is rife with poor design decisions, with the user interface feeling clunky at times. Long-distance travel is often required for the main campaign, and the way horses work in this game is both annoying and inconvenient. Much of the minor deviation from previous games seems to be for the worse, though the game has some improvements.

After the credits roll, Ratohnhaké:ton still has many side activities to embark on, such as naval missions, collecting items throughout the open-world and an entire economy of trading and crafting. The “Peg Leg” missions in particular are very engaging, and I found them to be the most enjoyable of the entire game.

Overall, I found Assassin's Creed III to be enjoyable, and while it has it's issues—sometimes major—it brings enough fresh concepts to the table to remain relevant .

Assassin's Creed III features the silliest and most self-defeating mission design in the the series' history, and it's a huge shame. When it isn't directly hamstrung by constrained mission areas, flakey AI, and imprecise movement, it manages to steer you into the path of these flaws anyway with optional objectives that encourage you to game the system - and Assassin's Creed III's systems do not hold up well to gaming. When full sync bonuses were introduced in Brotherhood, they were designed to encourage creative use of the tools at your disposal. Here they more often tamp down your options, exposing the emptiness of the game underneath.There's a lot more to an Assassin's Creed game than its missions, but the fifth in the series drops the ball with such regularity that it resonates through the entire experience. A pervasive sense of frustration is the snare drum that accompanies Assassin's Creed III on its march through the American revolution. You undertake that march - for the most part - as Connor, a young assassin with a British father and a Native American mother. Connor's quest to negotiate a future for his people against the backdrop of revolutionary war is well written and often well acted. The game's treatment of issues of race, class, democracy and empire even manages to be insightful.Characterisation is strong. Connor will get some flak simply for not being Ezio, but he comes into his own in the second half of the game. Assassin's Creed III has a cracking villain, too, in a senior British Templar that the writers seem to like more than they do their ostensible lead. The game suffers for a lack of female characters - the only real exception being Connor's mother, who after a brief period of activity retreats from the stage to usher in the series' next male protagonist.Puppeteer-style controls are gone, replaced with traditional keybindings: interact, attack, secondary weapon and so on. The verisimilitude suggested by the old arms, legs and head system has been lost, but the new way is clearer and for the most part it's a worthy change.Counter-riposte combos are still the dominating force in combat, but what exactly constitutes a riposte has been diversified: firing lines mean grabbing an enemy to use as a shield, and heavy foes are better responded to with quick, aggressive jabs at their defences than waiting for them to attack. No more Ezio-style multi-man murder sprees spring from a single tap of the attack button. The game looks substantially better on PC but otherwise this is an underwhelming port. Keyboard and mouse controls can't be rebound and feel like an afterthought.The root of my issue with Assassin's Creed III is this: that for as much stuff as it provides, the amount that it actually allows you to do feels thinner than ever. A vast amount of its content can be reduced to 'get from A to B and push a button', and stealth rarely strays from minigame territory. Assassin's Creed III's basic mechanics fare much better in multiplayer, where human opponents - or allies, in the co-op Wolfpack assassination challenges - provide the depth and dynamism that the single-player game lacks. The other area where the game excels comes entirely from left field: naval combat.Connor moonlights as a privateer captain in a series of optional sea missions that thread in and out of the main plot. During these you take the helm of an Assassin frigate, barking orders at your men and steering your warship into broadsides and boarding actions. It's absolutely spectacular - weather and ocean effects create a phenomenal sense of place, and control is just arcadey enough to be exciting while retaining the heft associated with 18th century naval warfare. Assassin's Creed III rises above mediocrity by virtue of its ambition, its writing, and the set-piece moments where its best ideas form ranks and push. It's the sequel that proves that a revolutionary rethink is needed, but not the sequel that pulls it off.

Assassin's Creed III it's best game of this series which who came before.

At first I want to say about the multiplayer: multiplayer at this hame got new big and good maps, but new gameplay... New gameplay have much bugs and just stupid. Best Multiplayer was at Assassin's Creed Revelations.

Single player: this is new story (in start you play for Assassin which join to Templars, this man father of protagonist), new locations: Boston and New York and other few: West Point, Frontier (big location with forest and so on) and the most important locations - this open ocean and the sea, where you can complete quests on the ship. You can upgrade your ship. And Manor where you will got quests with people, which find home or work. This people will work and live here. You can craft items they are even with the help of (I like that).

Weps: you got new assassin knifes, tomahawk (my favorite wep), pistols - you can have 2 pistols at belt.

Gameplay: this Brand New gameplay: you can use the objects around you, absolutely new combo murder. New management is very convenient. You can also jump on the trees, fleeing from persecution through the open door or window (in cities). To game added dogs, which can find you :D At city walking much pigs, chickens, cats and dogs (to game add kids :D) - you can interact with.

Graphic: this is an entirely new open world with new opportunities. For example: change in the weather (winter and summer, periodically snowing, rain and sunshine, and if you fall into the snow, then the character will slow down). In the game there is dirt on the pavement, as well as pools, stepping on you left a footprint. So, graphic is very beautiful.

Story: new story this is Revolution in America. That is very interesting... But some time it's start bored. You play for Indian, which must kill few bad guys and him father. Indian join to Assassin's. He is want freedom for all people. But this guy don't help to Revolution, but he thought that it helps. He just wants to save his people - what can I say about this man? He is egoist. He says that everything should be free, and his father (Templar) said that freedom - is chaos. And his father was right, because if all people are free, everyone would do what he wants and how he wants. If you manage people, then they will not be as savages.
If you do not manage the company of people, they go mad.
But in the words of the Assassins have the same truth.
Managing people do not need to resort to violence and slavery.
As I see it, I Templar :D
(Big like for new gameplay and graphic)
So, this game is not for the faint of heart, there are a lot of cruel dramatic scenes. There were moments when I wanted to cry...

Sorry for my English ^ ^

Assassin's Creed III - Completed
Another Assassin's Creed game completed. Though the game was still enjoyable, there was something that didn't quite feel right about this.

Maybe it was the fact that a quarter of the way through you swap playing who you think is the main character and move onto someone new, I'm not sure. There didn't seem to have that sneaky assassin's feel that the other games gave you either. Very little need to go running across roof tops or hiding in back alleys.

The actual game play is all the same as the previous, probably a little bit easier to be honest. I actually managed to get right up until Chapter 10 with the original weapons you get from the start without having to upgrade. There is no real need to craft anything if you just want to complete the story, you can complete all the chapters with the bare minimum effort being put in.

The length of the game is very good, I only finished the main story and this took me twenty four hours. My actual completion rate is about 30% according to the statistics page, so you can probably ramp up about fifty hours of game play in total if you wanted to do all the side missions and challenges.

Graphics wise, looks really nice. Playing it on my big screen TV with the Xbox controller really shows off the power that PC gaming has over consoles.

This is in no way a bad game, it's just not as good as the previous titles in the series in my opinion. I would still recommend this game for anyone who classes them selves as a gamer at heart especially for the price that it's at now, even when not on sale, you are getting a bargain at £14,99.

Assassin’s Creed® III is the fifth major installment in the long-running Assassin's Creed series developed by Ubisoft. The original game had you play as Altair, an Assassin during the Crusades, while the other titles had you playing as Ezio, an Italian Assassin during the Renaissance. After four previous games, Assassin’s Creed® III had large shoes to feel; for the most part, the game fulfills these expectations (despite disappointing on other fronts).
In this game, you play as Connor, a Native American Assassin born during the American Revolution; after a lengthy introduction sequence in which you play as Haytham Kenway, Connor's father (who is easily one of the major highlights of the game), the player gets to experience the early stages of Connor's childhood and experience what puts him on the path of joining the fabled Assassins. This game has a very slow opening which takes around 5 hours, however I would argue that this is necessary due to the epic scope of the narrative; however, impatient players or those wanting to get straight into the action might want to reconsider.
Due to Connor's Native American ancestry, there are a number of unique traits you can use, namely that of hunting, tree climbing and other variations of activies used in previous titles. The ability to free run through the trees is a very welcome addition to the series, and scaling large trees and natural obstacles feels almost as fluid as navigating the rooftops. The addition of a rather complicated hunting mechanic (which involves setting bait and traps as well as skillful use of bow and arrow) is interesting but feels rather unnecessary to the rest of the game, as the game rarely offers incentives for hunting out various forms of wildlife. I also found the quicktime event used when encountering certain animals (wolves, elk) to be rather silly and didn't really mesh with the rest of the game. In addition to those skills, Connor also has a tomahawk (a large axe-thingy) and a rope dart, which he can use to damage enemies as well as stringing up enemies from trees. This varies the already simplistic combat to a minor degree and allows for some entertaining situations. Just like previous games, you also have a gun and typical sword which you can both use in open combat.
One of the best additions to Assassin’s Creed® III is the new naval combat mode; in this mode, Connor undertakes a variety of missions using his own sea faring vessel dubbed 'The Aquila'. Naval combat is extremely fun due to the varied offensive techniques such as precision guns, heavy mortars and chain shots, all of which you can use to take down enemy ships and forts. The reason this mode is so fun is because it's rarely used in any other game to date, and is one of the few innovative features displayed in this game.
Whilst the majority of Assassin’s Creed® III is up to the standard of the other titles, it is worth mentioning the several severe faults that I felt detracted from the overall experience. Firstly, the 'mission constraints'; these are a series of optional objectives attached to each story mission that give you the option of increased synchronisation within the Animus. My issues with these constraints is that they actively punish the player for trying to complete, or made the mission extremely irritating in general. These objectives simply pushed the player to the point of inconvenience, and I consistently felt as if they were tacked on to each mission rather than challenging the player due to the ridiculous nature of the tasks. My second issue with the game was the overall story and the character progression of the protagonist Connor; as in the narrative lacked the motivation and compelling nature found in previous titles, and Connor was actually a severely bland character to play as. The narrative starts off rather epically, until you start playing as Connor and achieving virtually nothing over the course of the game. He was sent from place to place, completing tasks that seemed to have no relation to one another and often just for the sake of throwing in some big, flashy historical moment. By the end of the game, I felt as if all I had achieved was going to a bunch of random locations and killing some British officer simply because the game wanted me to. Aside from the standout performance exhibited in the character of Haytham Kenway, there were hardly any moments where I was overly impressed by the characterisation. Connor is a bland and uninteresting character, whose motives are ambigous and murky, and who I could never truly connect with. Not to mention that the ending for both Connor and Desmond is astonishingly lazy and is one of the worst endings to a AAA title I have ever experienced.
Overall, Assassin’s Creed® III is a solid entry in the franchie but not the ground breaking step forward I was expecting. All the standard trademarks of the series, and fans of the series such as myself will undoubtedly have a good time with this despite its flaws. Its worth noting that the lacklustre story and frustrating game design will frustrate some players and occassionally feels like a step-backwards from previous titles. However, this is a still a fairly enjoyable game and I couldn't help but enjoy myself for most of it. 7.5 / 10

A polarizing entry in the AC universe - this one barely scrapes through as a recommendation.

The yearly release schedule is showing an ever-increasing degradation of quality. AC3 is a rushed product with several bugs, spelling and grammar mistakes, and a seeming downgrade of combat mechanics from previous AC games that lends itself more to frustration than challenge. New players will likely be overwhelmed by feature-creep pop-ups with no clear explanation of where to go or what to do.

The main storyline is overshadowed by the protagonist Connor: a self-centred, self-righteous, indignant ignoramus. Not the most empathetic of characters and irritating for the most part. The collection quests are mostly a time sink which add little to the game. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I couldn't explore the crafting system due to lack of instruction, buggy controls and a terrible interface, so I was forced to use Cheat Engine to earn cash.

For all its faults, the naval excursions saved this game. Ship battles are excellently executed and have kept me invested in the series and looking forward to playing Black Flag.

Surprisingly, The Tyranny of King Washington DLC outshines the main game, introducing three new abilities which - without giving anything away - are worth playing it for.

I should've listened to warnings... My friends who played this game warned me that it's bad and it's going to put me off the AC series. They were right.

I'm not going to complain about the optimisation and technicalities. It's not horrible, playable even on my old-ish rig. My main issues are:

1. Dull plot.
It's difficult to care about the protagonist or his plight. The prologue of the game is actually reasonably interesting plot-wise (albeit definitely too long - takes almost 3 hours!!!). After that, it gets worse.
Not sure, might be the fact that I'm not American so I don't really care much about their revolutionary history - apparently most of the people Conor meets are somehow famous, but since I recognise only a few names, I can't feel excited when he meets yet another guy who tells him how important it is to do this and that and yadda yadda yadda, ZZzzzz.
What's worse, it's not entirely clear what the conflict is. Seems assassins want to kill templars only because they are templars, even though their goals in the colonies are somewhat aligned (getting rid of the Brits) - most of the time it looks as if Conor was fighting the templars because he holds a grudge, nothing more. Anyway, the plot is slow, uninspired and dull. If you thought Revelations had poor plot... this one is much worse. Revelations at least had an interestig city. Cities in AC3 are almost identical, bland and boring - absolutely nothing to look at, and famous spots look nothing like they now. Seriously, who thought setting the game in the British Colonies was a good idea?

2. Game construction and mechanics.
This is just frustrating. Short walks or runs frequently interrupted by short cutscenes that don't really add any value. Then another short walk, another cutscene. A short fight, then a short walk, and a cutscene. Aaaargh! And it happens very very often!!! There are way too many missions where you have to chase someone, or tail someone, and soldiers tend to get alarmed by your presence for no apparent reason. Controls are clunky, after 20 hours of game time I'm still not entirely sure how the fighting system works and you don't really have that much assassinating to do... Oh, and parcouring in the forest - BORING and silly.

Also, this game feels like the most restrictive of all AC games so far. OK, in all of them your option to kill the target were seriously limited (it's not Hitman after all), but this one is totally ridiculous at times with laughable stealth and frequent instant failures. Feels extremely linear too but the most annoying fails are caused by stupid bugs, like Conor sticking to walls and buildings because game developers decided it will be a great idea to have running and climbing under the same button...
There were numerous moments where I considered giving up after yet another fail for stupid reason like that, and just watchning the rest of the endless cutscenes on youtube. I even attempted that once, only to find out (to my relief) that I'm nearly at the end of the main story, so decided to get on with it. Phew. And as I said - the story is dull and the only reason why you may want to actually suffer through it is to see Desmond's fate and for plot continuity before I move on to AC4.

3. Shedload of stuff to do but none of it worth your time.
You can hunt, trade, expand your homestead, attack convoys, craft stuff, take control of city areas, conquer forts etc. The problem is - you don't really feel like it's worth your time. You won't get much out of it. Some money, that you can live without. Unless you're an OCD sufferer who just needs to do every single mission and achievement, you will completely ignore those side-subquests. The game will, of course, force you to suffer through some of them just to show you that you can do them, but after that... you'll most likely ignore it. Kind of like the tower defense part in Revelations - after the tutorial you probably never bothered. AC3 has about half a dozen useless elements like that.

Having said that, the only element that seems less boring is sailing. True, after a few missions the novelty wears off as well, but at least it's fun (no wonder the fourth game expanded that part) and there is some sense of achievement when you sink a larger vessel. Expanding your ship is very tedious though, as it requires a lot of money and the economy of this game is just broken.
Previous game had this neat system where you simply rebuilt shops, banks and whatnot and were getting the income from those. Here, you have to craft stuff with some ridiculous and tedious crafting system, then you need to sell stuff via trade routes and such, you can send assassins to do missions but it's nowhere near as simple as in previous game... All this feels like an intentional timesink and amounts to sheer frustration - it's really been a while since I played a game that annoyed me so much.

If you enjoyed previous AC games (even Revelations) - stick to them. Skip AC3 and give AC4 a try - apparently it's much better. Although me, after finishing AC3, I will probably have a short break from the AC franchise. Material fatigue ;)

I was unsure to rate this up or down to be honest i would rather stayed neutral on this one,
in this one they surely went quite a bit more overboard with the optional quest also some of them only showup after you've failed them forcing you to go to the start menu just to see which optional quest are active. beside that new money management system to earn some extra money (like buying shops previously) is now replaced with some overly difficult and incredibly time consuming trade system that will most likely loose you some money before you figure out how to earn some with it (sell your own furs, works best ps: beavers & bears) also assassins you hire are predetermined and never wear assassins clothing :\ also you start out having all your skills practically but you still go through training that will train you in the art of everything while you learn nothing -.-

beside that you have your list of glitches (quest characters stopping to move, RANDOM guard chases! (like wtf really?)), anyway there are more but ill let you have the fun of discovering them.

More negative points: Bad weapons switch menu (slow), refusing to exit a map causes you to reload your current map (like wth), game can crash now and then , some enemies your not allowed to counter or even punch (2 of them in the whole game and they require you to go close to a barrel and throw em in to one of em over and over...), hard to spot wanted posters (like some of them are half inside of the wall), no hiding in bushes while being seen( like literrally you cant crouch, he just wont crouch...), ultimate "d***" moments where the cutscene is going kill someone you dont really want dead so the cutscene forces you to press a button so you feel responsible... to much to keep going... ps: (very long prologue, your custome is not being used in most cutscenes)

Some positve points: Tomahawk (pretty fun), Assassins (even though not best version, still better then not having them like in 4), Boat euh i mean ship (diff from as4 but pretty nice its own way), nice story (but then again thats one of the strong points of as, atleast if you can follow x), op bow~ (like who needs gun), build your own community (sort off)

Hints:
- in the trade system craft your "special items" it has weapons you can use and pouches ( even if you dont really use it this part is quite useful)
- collect the pigleg trinkets (included fun extra levels and a sweet reward)
- in homestead interact with your people they unlock more homestead missions which unlocks more recipes
- dont sell your stuff to a general store (unless for hunter guild objective (doesnt work trough trade :/ ))
- Upgrade your ship (it will be necessarily in future missions (both main and side))


PS: either way if you're an assassins creed fan its quite worth it to play, if you're new then dont start with this one (i'd suggest 2 or 1).

i've mixed feelings about this game. although i played the hell out of it, most of the times i saw myself struggling. sometimes because of myself, but overall the controls are a bit broken. the story for me is unimpressive, but the length and the amount of things to collect, makes the games worth your money (but the rewards you get for collecting them are worthless).
It's the weakest in the series no doubt, if you're into to the series i recommend just plot wise. but if you're a newcommer try the first ones first.

keep calm and WHERE IS CHARLES LEE?!

This game made me feel physical pain.

It's so boring. Takes really long time to even get started. Seven hours before you even become an assassin.
- 90% of the gameplay was: Press B to skip cutscene -> Walk(!) two metres with someone -> Press B to activate next cutscene -> Press B to skip cutscene -> repeat from phase one.
- AI is a cheating little scumbag with rubber band guards, who are like "Oh running away, eh. Just. Let. Me. Stab. You. In. The. Back. Quickly." and heavy guards, who are like "Having a good streak. Let me just headbutt you on the ground and punch you no matter how hard youre blocking, fathermocker!"
- You remember those bards from AC2. They're gone, replaced with orphans. Unfortunately, like with all children in video games, you can't crack their skulls with a tomahawk, drink their blood and ♥♥♥♥ the remains.
- Connor is suprisingly ok with Washington slaughtering his people. Even ends up winning the whole(!) American civil war (or whatever) for him. Because America, F*** yeah!

It seems like everything I liked about the AC series got scrapped in favor of mechanics that feel more like chores than gameplay.

You should totally buy this game if you like to fight the same four enemy types,craft items that you don't need,accumulate a large sum of money that you don't need to spend on anything,find collectibles that give a niche reward,not having a crouch button,look at menus,enjoy the functionality and reliability of Uplay,and having your hand held by an adult for the first five hours of gameplay.

Yeah I know, there's a big blue symbol saying I recommend this game but that comes with quite a few caveats.

If you like difficult combat, don't buy this game
If you like a story that's easy to follow, don't buy this game
If you like historical accuracy, don't buy this game
If you like a main character with "charisma" eg. Ezio or Edward, don't buy this game
If you can't stand Desmond Miles, don't buy this game
If you can't tolerate bugs and egregious examples of bad game design, don't buy this game

Assassin's Creed III is not a good game, let me make that clear. I'm recommending it because to me it is one of those games where the concept of the game is great but it is crippled by incompetent devs and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design. Sure, it may sound like a great idea for a game to be set in the American Revolution and have a cast of characters such as George Washington, Sam Adams, Paul Revere etc. and to take place in famous battles such as Bunker Hill and Monmouth. That is until you realise that the characters are one dimensional caricatures and the battles are scripted sequences.

The story of the main game (not that present day Desmond in the Animus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) follows two main protagonists, Haytham and Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor for short). The first two sequences of the game have you play as Haytham as he travels to America in search of something. During his adventures he forms a relationship with a native woman by the name of Kaniehtí:io. Together they have a child, that child is Connor. Also while on his adventures Haytham befriends Charles Lee who is relevant ot the plot.

After a plot twist that anyone with half a brain should've seen coming miles away the game has you play as Connor through his childhood. At one point he encounters Charles Lee on the way to burn his village and says that one day he will find him. Connor returns to the village to find it burning and his mother trapped under some wood and about to burn to death. A few years later Connor is asked to seek out the Assassin's and encounters an old man named Achilles who trains him over a few years.

After the training is over Connor gets that tneat looking outfit and ends up going on a revenge quest against Charles Lee and helping the Sons of Liberty along the way.

I'd just like to point out that the game only really starts at Sequence 6 so there is essentially 5-6 hours of tutorial.

A lot of the hate for this game tends to come from the protagonist Connor, people seem to find him humourless, shortspoken, tempramental and kinda standoffish at points. I think this works in his favour as it seems that he is one of the more realistic and believble characters in this story.

The gameplay in this game is pretty much the standard AC gameplay but with a few tweaks to make it work in the setting such as an aiming mode for guns and the bow or the use as a tomohawk as the ain weapon instead of the swords. The combat in this game is definitely the best out of all the AC games, it's still ridiculously easy but is a lot less reliant on counter spamming and has enemies that require more tactics than 'Press X to Kill'. There are also a ridiculous amount of combat animations that also make it look great.

The visuals are great even on the lowest settings as I played them, the frontier looks beautiful and the cities do feel alive. Only gripe with them is the draw distance in the cities (Boston especially) can be pretty low.

In conclusion. Even though I said it isn't a good game I am recommending it because I see the potential of a truly great game here if it was made by competent developers. It's worth picking up on sale but be warned, as with any title uPlay is required.

I tried, but I just can't do it. With the exception of a brief segment where the game's dialogue is all in Kanien'keha (Mohawk language), this game is stultyfying. It's so boring it grates on me to think about playing. When I fail a mission ("desynchronize") it enrages me primarily because I just want it to end. And since the bugs and controls are so brutal that I fail a bunch of missions, it just isn't ending of its own accord. So I have to end it myself. /uninstall

Game works fine and plays fine. It's quite different if to compare with AC Revelations and if to be honest, Revelations was better in my opinion. But AC3 is still playable and fun can be had for... Quite a while.

Connor is stupid though.

Roughly 2 hours into the game. Rescued some natives. Saved a patriot. Killed dozens, nay hundreds of redcoats with unbridled badassery. Discussed the finer points of banging older women with Benjamin Franklin. 10/10

Being an Assassin's Creed fan to be honest revelations was a dissapointment, the only reason the game was released was for the sake of the storyline for me, and i sure was more than Excited when i first saw the trailers of Assassin's Creed 3 not to forget the best part being a new ancestor. the story is good at start bound to give you a few surprises at the very first, though somewhere in the middle it becomes a little boring because things seem to be repetitive but by the end it gets better. I was expecting too much, but was not bad either, game play has too much to offer including a bunch of bugs that might end up irritating you, overall it's recommended, but would be better if you play with less expectations.

I love all the Assassins Creed games. But this one always had a special place in my heart. Maybe it was that Connor's backstory was really something, I don't know. But what I do know is that this game is amazing. Put aside the TONS of glitches, this game is awesome. The story is amazing, Connor is one of the best assassins, and since he is Native American he has several skills other assassins don't. This game will always have it's own spot in my heart and you should totally buy it. 9/10
