El Dildo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm curious as to why you thought this ? oh. well, forget I said that. that's just my own frustration with AC3. it's the weakest installment of the entire series and I was just super disappointed with it. after beating it once, I literally had no urge to ever play it again. there's not any new insights to discover by playing through it twice or more, not to mention how fundamentally flawed the missions are. free-roaming is fine still. but the story missions are so tedious and annoying and poorly designed that I just never want to see them again. but hey, maybe you'll love it. who knows. to each their own.

Chukkles Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) What's the verdict? Worth spending money on? Another one like Harley Quinn DLC on Arkham City? Any bugs?

Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/19/frenc.../#ixzz2Lew7dAOn I'm guessing they were hoping the Curators at George Washingtons Mount Vernon estate were gonna be all pissy or something? "Unlike other historic military figures, Washington admirably stepped away from power and returned to private life," Mount Vernon spokeswoman Melissa Wood said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "George Washington set the precedent for this democracy’s peaceful transition of power. Mount Vernon hopes that this game will give its players some perspective on this important accomplishment, which is often overlooked."

MWC Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ahh screw it, judging by their previous DLCs, this ain't worth my money. Well since nobody took their time to answer you and i hadn't seen your last post let me answer it for you, other than the new story missions they added a couple new side missions like helping hungry people, freeing slaves and attacking convoys but i can't really judge them since i didn't play them and i don't know if they give you any advantages if you finish them all. Also there are some places you can visit to evoke memories from the main storyline of AC3, i visited 2 so far and they gave me just screenshots of the original so its not much. It is set it an "alternative" timeline even dough Connor remembers everything from the "real" timeline and to everyone else it looks like it never happened, but you do get your tomahawk and assassin blades dough by different means. My verdict on it would be to wait for all 3 "episodes" to release and buy them all in some kind of a cheaper bundle because the story so far seems interesting but its obviously cut to 3 pieces to make more money for ubisoft, also the new stealth mechanics with the wolf powers is a little OP. Hope that answeres your questions ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secura Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone find it odd that there isn't going to be any kind of brotherhood or reve,actions type game for AC 3?Or was Conner that bad??? Connor was that bad, there's no denying it either. He was, to put it simply, the worst game character of the 2010's thus far so it's not really too surprising that they're not making another game with him in it. Though there are other reasons why they may not be taking that approach, first and foremost would be the fact that Connor's tale (if you can call it a tale) is over, his journey's done and there's nothing left for him to fight for now. Think about it at the end of Assassin's Creed III (and no this isn't a spoiler, not if you know anything at all about the history of America) his land goes into the possession of the government who plans to build over it so what point is there to keep him fighting ? Then you've got the other reason, this one's more from fan feedback then anything else, it's the fact that want to wait a little while for the fans to get excited about the Assassin's Creed franchise again, it's the whole reason a lot of people were/are disappointed with the game as whole. It doesn't feel new, because there hasn't been a significant period of time between the games' releases and as a result a number of features in Assassin's Creed III weren't seen as new and innovative, but rather oh look it's there from Brotherhood/Revelations. And then you get to the final point, and perhaps the biggest from a story telling point they simply can't. There's a reason Connor's story can't continue, it's because he isn't an Assassin. He's a Native American that's simply been using the Assassin name for him to get closer to the people he needs to influence to save his land, the other games after Assassin's Creed II had Ezio becoming more and more one with the Brotherhood. In Assassin's Creed III, there is no Brotherhood, therefore there's nothing that Connor can go and do so his story ends in the 18th century, because Ubisoft are lousy writers and couldn't create a character who had as much potential as there previous one. It's a shame really because Connor could've been such a brilliant character, they played the whole thing wrong though and showed little to no respect for the Brotherhood.

kudoboi Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 the DLC is good but imo not enough to make up for 9 bucks each. maybe 4 but not 9. the only reason im playing this is because the season pass was given for free to those who pre ordered the game on steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dildo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He was, to put it simply, the worst game character of the 2010's you're smoking crack. you're talking about every video game character from the last 4 years. Connor was a weak character especially when compared to others in AC, but there are much worse characters than Connor in other games. the problem with AC3 was a terrible story and terrible gameplay. Assassins Creed doesn't belong in the United States - for starters - and it never meshed well with the American Revolution. it just wasn't a good fit. even if Connor's father Haytham was the main character (since he was a better character than Connor) it would still be the weakest game of the entire AC series. there's still nowhere to go with it after the Revolution ends. Ubisoft wrote a very loose and unbelievable story. that was bad enough. then they combined this with an overhaul of the stealth gameplay that basically ruined it. there is no stealth in AC3. you're expected to take things head-on, right out in the open, which is not how an Assassin is supposed to operate. there's no Creed in Assassins Creed 3. you just slaughter as many people as physically possible. you don't cover your tracks. you don't avoid killing innocents. stealth is fundamentally broken. there's maybe 2 or 3 missions in the entire game where you can remain hidden from beginning to end, and only kill your target without leaving any other bodies. the rest of the missions are more like Native American Rambo. I think it's unfair to blame Connor when his puppet masters did such a terrible job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzbegone Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 there's no Creed in Assassins Creed 3.you just slaughter as many people as physically possible. you don't cover your tracks. you don't avoid killing innocents. stealth is fundamentally broken. there's maybe 2 or 3 missions in the entire game where you can remain hidden from beginning to end, and only kill your target without leaving any other bodies. It's just showing how the creed is slowly dying out, as seen in 2012. Looking back, I do feel a bit depressed on how lonely you really felt compared to Ezio and Altair but I guess it just goes to show, the Assassins don't belong in the modern world. With the DLC, it's a mixed bag. The game begins with Conor in his 20s where he should be an assassin but isn't. It's almost as if the entire creed never existed. An odd thing is that he's fully aware that this is some sort of an alternate reality, making claims to people including his Mom (who is alive, by the way) he couldn't have otherwise known about. eg. Slaying a bewitched Benedict Arnold, Conor announces it is payback for Westpoint to which Arnold claims he has never been to. (The original Arnold missions are a 3-part PS3-exclusive ) The fact that he knows that something is amiss and this isn't who Washington really is, is very intriguing. You're also given some wolf-related skills to play with which are a little tacky but a unique twist on the gameplay. I'm agreeing with someone above who complained about the price, which is a ridiculous for such short DLC. It took me 3-4 hours to complete part 1, collected everything there is to be collected and finished the side missions. Not much bang for your buck but the story does have me hooked solely on the idea that Conor knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvettelover Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hmm, I just bought this (Geforce promo) from ebay for $14. Would you reccomend this or Black Ops 2? I have MW3 and I like it, is BO2 much different? Or not worth it? And, if I activate this I can get Driver San Fran Deluxe for free, and I think the infamy dlc (but not sure on that). Should I keep it or trade it? I also got a offer from someone of like $36. What should I do lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokrie Dela Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Oh good, i'm not the only one disappointed with this. Black Flag is going to have to REALLY pull something out of the bag now to keep me interested. Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell have lost their way. I fully expect black flag to be the same as III. All the years in dev, and it was.. meh As for the ending, Altair, Ezio, The holy land, Florence, Tuscany, Venice, Rome (i thought brotherhood was a very good game, but II was the best), Istanbul, boston, new york - it all led to....that. Such an anticlimax, and it's obvious that AC will never end - there wont be a conclusion, just another open ended ending. I'm bored of it, aCIII was so BORING!

J-B Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Almost finished up with my second playthrough. I got the Perfectionist achievement during this run and there's only like 5 more single player achievements left for me to get, which I shouldn't have much trouble getting. I'm not gonna beat this game up as much as some of you have but I'll say this game is flawed and it hurts gameplay at times. Most of those flaws are just glitches/lack of polish that could have been ironed out with some more playtesting. Hopefully they prioritize that more with Black Flag. I don't think III is even close to being the best in the series, but I don't hate it either as I like a lot of the the new things it tried. Also, does the pivot tutorial cutscene not play on subsequent playthroughs ? I traveled to Boston like I was supposed to and nothing happened.

Ah, wish i spotted this earlier as i would have held on for a bit longer. Just ordered the normal version as it dropped to 20 quid, at least it comes with the first part of the Washington DLC which i didn't know about so that's a nice plus. I guess the majority of the bugs and glitches that plagued the game upon it's release would have been fixed now and so should be smooth sailing.
