piece of shitand thats all i have to say

Assassins Creed gets a lot of flack for being the same every iteration, and thats fair criticism.

That being said, I like this one.

Absolutely worth it!

I love the way fights work in this game, the camera angle is lovely and gives you a good view from many angles of the fight.


10/10

I have played it before. I tried to to outrun the british after doing cool tricks and broke my legs trying to jump from a building. 7/10

AC3 short said has a wide variety of things to explore, just as the other games in the franchise. I can not compare it much with the other games in the franchise 'causs i've only played Assassin's creed 4: Black flag except from AC3.

I think many people will like AC3 because it's such a fun open-world game with an interesting story, good voice acting, beatiful graphics with more. It's a very overall chill game where you can take on things in your own way. AC3 isn't a game for you that would like a challenge. The game is very easy to complete and i must also say that the story ain't so long.

The deeper you go into the game the more things you will unlock. It might sound like many other games, but it still makes you want to earn more money and complete missions a lot more. There's not much of a balance between the easy and the hard missions, either you really have to use your items efficiently or you can just rush through it all with an axe in your hand.

There ain't many sidemissions as well unfortunately, that's something i would really like more of, maybe almost like a second story. I haven't bought any of the DLCs yet but will probably do in a short time. It will enhance my gameplay a lot i think. So if you are missing out something and really enjoy the game you should consider buying some of the DLCs.

One thing i haven't seen in many games except the AC franchise is the big amount of finishing moves you can do. Depending on what situation you're in you will execute different types of finishing moves. Rather or not you're into open world games you definitely should try this out.

It's a glitch factory....

How can a Tripple A title be released in such a state? You've got guys walking through train walls in cutscenes, PEDS walking into the middle of cutscenes, soldiers holding meter long muskets like a handgun.... glitch after glitch....

It still has some good points - good story / acting / world. Maybe get it for $5 if you like assassins creed.

The glitches just ruin the immersion something awful, and it's apparent the main missions have been left in a rough state.

I've beat it twice now and I still think it's bad. The only part of this game I actually liked was the Desmond/present day sequences, and they account for maybe 5% of the game if you go slow. Connor's story is decent but could've achieved much more and I found myself spacing out during some of it because it's so uninteresting. The controls are awful, you can't jog, only walk and sprint. Connor doesn't listen to what you want him to do half the time, will run up walls for no reason, will run up walls when there's no wall there, fail to assassinate when you click, fail to jump when you press right click and space, will rubber-band back onto railings that's he's on, et cetera, and in missions where you can't be detected this is fatal, and since during the missions this franchise is never forgiving when it comes to checkpoints during stealth, this creates a huge waste of time. Facial animation is often inaccurate or out of sync with the audio, and the subtitles are full of errors and sometimes just plain wrong. The shooting mechanic is nearly useless if you're actually trying to use F to aim unless your target is COMPLETELY stationary, and even then it may or may not work depending on the camera. Hunting is boring and tedious. You have to go out of your way to get money so you save time by just never buying anything. Did I mention the controls are terrible? NPCs frequently just disappear for no reason. There's a mission where you have to loot a corpse to get a uniform, but if redcoats attack you too much, then once you've killed enough the corpse disappears and you have to restart the missions. Graphical pop-in and LOD is horrid even at the highest settings. In present day, Rebecca now looks like an anime girl I guess and has no facial expressions. Ever. She always has that same blushy almost smile. ALWAYS. She, Desmond and William frequently have their idle animations messed up while they're talking to you. Shaun's head goes inside his body, Rebecca owl-necks, which are kind of funny, but it's annoying when you're walking together and they keep stuttering. Not enough Desmond playtime. The Desmond sequences are fantastic but take 5 minutes, maybe 8 if you're slow, to complete, and there's only 3 or so. Overall a ♥♥♥♥ game that could've been decent, even quite good, if actually PLAYING it was any fun.

Assassins all the way, ever since the first one. But this is probably the worst in the series.
This is the second time around I try to get through this game, and it's every bit as tedious as it was the first time around.

It was superb when Brotherhood and Revelations introduced allies you could use in combat, but here they're all morons apparently. Get the first ally, the chef-guy ? He has no experience, so gets incapacitated in combat before he manages to be useful. Send him on mission, through clunky, uninformative "Assassin Guild" interface ? 80% chance, fails. No experience. Get additional allies for mission to increase success ? How ? No idea, the game doesn't mention it.

There's only some semi-indicative things on the map in the cities. Ok, try to clear some of those "Liberation" missions - just spent 20 minutes killing people, hoping to acquire another assassin recruit - only to get gold on completion. Hm. Do some other assassin-symbol mission stuff - get to be escorted by two allies in disguise - have to walk on-board a ship, they drop in the water and die. Stealth goes out the window. Could still just walk through the guards, in the restricted area-zone, and kill the target in front of twenty enemies. Huh. And the escort-thing is apparently some ability you can use assassin recruits for.. IF YOU HAD ANY.

Anyway, completed, get the assassin recruit guy, yay! But.. But why can't I use them now ? Oh, "can't access recruits outside the city"... But I am literally standing in the city, in the zone where I met him. HE WAS JUST, HERE. Until of course he drowned, randomly. Hmm.. Maybe there's a timer-like thingy indicating when he'll be available again ? Nope. Okay.. Assasssin Guild interface... Nope, him AND chef-guy, unavailable. Okay. One more gripe, why does the guild interface show the missions already completed ? They can't be done again, so they're just time-wasting selections you have to go through, whenever you want to start a new mission (if it ever becomes accessible again, who knows).

Some people might find the earlier games to be easier, and I agree. But they were also more approachable, I find, compared to this. I want to love this game as much as the rest, but every step of the way it's tiringly cumbersome.

The giant sandboxy world is given credit by some, but I just find I spend way more time running and trying to get to the missions or places I need to be, whereas the other games in the series, it felt more like just-on-the-edge-of-too-long travel time, but still enjoyable. Also the traversing the world part of it was.. "nimble", whereas in this one, half the times the controls are getting in the way. Want to run through some fancy getaway spot ? Nope, lean up against the wall, all stealthy-like whilst ten enemies are readying to fire at you. Oh you wanted to run PAST the barrel/shopstand ? No, dive onto it, owling, just to pass more time! Yey!

And the combat.. At one point, I was running, without any notoriety/wanted-level nonsense. Apparently that was enough, because as I ran past some guards, they decided to engage and pursue. No reason why. Must be hell being a courier. Okay, run for some ten minutes, can't get away. Fine, we'll just fight. And fight. And fight. Half the time, the status-indicator above the head just vanishes. Manage to kill ten enemies, more just come running. And more. And more. Decide to run again and finally get out of sight, enter one of those printer-shops to remove the wanted level, tedious cutscene entering the building... CAN'T TALK TO THE PRINTER GUY. He's just standing around.

There's also some homestead-stuff where you can gather people and they craft stuff and you can.. trade it for money, or something. Okay.. Craft a wagon.. Instead of buying one, for some reason. Spend some time with the finicky-interface to get a convoy going.. It says it'll make 40 money on completion. If it's succesful, because it can be attacked and lost. 40. Killing 2-3 guards makes that same amount. INSTANTLY. PICKPOCKETING CIVILIANS, DOES THE SAME. What in the name of George Crushington was the purpose of the convoys ? Might come later in the game, though everything seems to be a let-down, time and time again, as I get further into the game.

There's also some customization available. You can purchase a few different-colored variations of the Assassin outfit worn. But it'll be the standard tomahawky-white one in cutscenes.. Feels like that wouldn't be too hard to manage, that the colour in the cutscenes stay the same as the worn ones, since it's in-game. Oh well. There's also weapons to purchase, though.. I've no idea why you'd do that, since their statistics, although displayed in the shop interface, don't really seem to do... anything in combat. Same moves, same speed.. What, is, the, point. Just don't get it. Another area the game doesn't present any information on.

And it's a shame, so much potential gone to waste. Of course there's plenty of the now-standard Ubisoft game bugs as well.

Would recommend Rogue, Revelations, Black Flag or Brotherhood instead, in that order, by a gazillion nautical miles.

A good game Story and gameplay. Story not to bore or to much long as Assassin's Creed II So it enjoyable.
