Trash game I feel like I wasted $50. Story in the past is decent, modern story sucks -blam!-, combat outdated and stupid, ship combat good, little customization, reduced horse combat, minimal use of firearms by Connor, linear and uncreative campaign with no replayability, -blam!- crap multiplayer that is fun for around 2 hours.

I would value the game at around $30, $50 is really overpriced (this is a PC digital copy from Steam by the way). At this price I rate the game 6/10. I finished the main storyline within 20 hours, and there really isn't a lot of side missions to do, so I'm pretty much done with that. Even if there were side missions I got pretty bored with the gameplay already, so probably not even worth playing. I played the multiplayer for a few hours, then went back to the campaign for a little just to kill random soldiers, resulting in the total 25 hours. I haven't touched the game in weeks. Didn't live up to the hype, wasn't even a decent game like Mass Effect 3, which although didn't live up to the hype, was great nevertheless.

Have you even played Assassin's Creed before? There are plenty of valid complaints to be had with AC3, but this is just stupid.

  • 12.25.2012 5:38 AM PDT

Assassins creed is going down hill. In some ways so is Halo but I still love Halo, always will.

  • 12.25.2012 5:38 AM PDT

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Eh it's still a fun game despite the ending.

Yes but this is the age of guns and no use of firearms? I mean even for enemy soldiers they barely use it and it's mostly still the same melee brawl like the previous Assassin's Creeds, and the guns barely hurt you. You can take like over 20 gun shots and not die. Same as the horse combat. In Brotherhood you could fight with a sword on a horse, but now the only weapon you can use from a horse is a pistol. What the -blam!-? Downgrade? You'd think with a Native American assassin you should be able to do some crazy horse maneuvers with the bow and rifle or the such.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Why did you buy it on PC? AC is one of the only series that's actually inferior on PC, because it has such horrible DRM and using K&M doesn't work as well (which seems impossible, but....).

Out of curiosity, what were they? I never bought AC3 myself.

Well there's the deer stuck in the tree one I experienced, as well as the bales of hay becoming massive trampolines somehow.

Just to name a few.

AC3 is fun. Multiplayer is still good, even though the Campaign is done.

I'm sure it's frustrating in-game, but.......that actually sounds awesome.

Thane and Mordin <3

I got my AC3 and burned it in my bonpit, went to Best Buy. Then I shoved it up their asses and walked away.

Once in the frontier I saw one of those mercenary guys with the black coats stuck in a tree. Lol. And I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but every time you sync a viewpoint on a church Connor stands straight up on the tip of the cross. Even if that isn't a glitch it still looks stupid. Once I also got stuck to the side of a building while chasing after a guy. Was frustrating.

And then the awkward horse movement that gets stuck trying to jump over certain objects but completely fine with other objects.

You seem to not understand that firearms take a while to reload in this era. It's not like they had assault rifles, or even semi-automatic ones. It was all mussel-loaded. Most of the fighting was still done hand-to-hand with firearms only being useful in firing lines.

It still makes no sense that you can take 20 bullets and not die.

That's right. I just dropped some AOL IM protocol.

I've been playing a borrowed copy. I've spent $0 dollars on it and I guess it's worth that. But I'd rather play my new games I got for Christmas.

  • 12.26.2012 6:57 AM PDT

I highly disagree, fine sir, as I would put it at Game Of The Year, no contest.

Call me Stu

Played the game I haven't finished it yet but TEH HELL WITH THE COMBAT SYSTEM wish they had just left the simple counter and attack.

I liked the plot twist by the 3 sequence but felt it was too dragged out to get to the main character I've just finished the 5 sequence and only now I feel you have just been unleashed into the world.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Personally, I've played it the same way that I played each of the others. Get as far into the main story as it takes to allow me to then grind out all of the secondary objectives to their end/max and then resume/finish the main story.

In doing so, I usually end up spending a good amount of pretty no-stress time getting used to the quirks of the mechanics, the intent of the designers, the arc of the story, and covering all of the landscape 3-4 times over. Then, when that gets boring (it's already repetitive, so my boredom-threshold being hit it not disappointing) I simply save and resume later, and eventually play through the last few level(s) when it all is completed and there is nothing left to grind out.

So yeah, chasing feathers, running pointless tasks for NPC's that can't move from their spot, and beaver-chasing (I never thought that I would be able to use that phrase while discussing a video game)... it's all, fine by me.

I kind of like the game. The humor in the writing of the supplemental data entries, the fact that it takes the characters of history and twists them in interesting ways (I never thought that I would say "Paul Revere is an annoying jerk", for example) and to me, for some people it made me do a little more research into who they were and how history actually records their actions.

Not a waste of money for me. It was a gift, but that just took it off of my shopping list. In retrospect it would have been on my "wait until it's $50 or less" list, but then nearly any game that I have played lately has been that sort of result for me. If I were to compare my entertainment time/value between it and another title that I was looking forward to (Halo 4). AC3 has spent more time in the disk tray (which, to me, in the end is the sign of any good game, how long it remains in your disk tray).

  • 12.26.2012 7:08 AM PDT

The one glitch that frustrated me the most is how when you synchronize a viewpoint there is a little space between his foot and the tip of what he is standing on. And also how there is a little space in his outfit where the blue parts touch on the bottom of the back part.. They frustrate me so much.

OT: I was also disappointed. The frontier wasn't a good place for a AC game it had way too much flat ground even in the cities and it was so boring getting to destinations.
