Assassin's Creed III Review | CheatCC

CheatCC writes:

"Assassin’s Creed is a series I’ve always wanted to love. For one reason or another though, there was always one point in each title where I hit the proverbial brick wall and no longer cared about the game. This is not to say that any of the previous titles where bad, they just couldn’t hold my ever-fleeting attention span. Or, as I began saying, “They tricked me.” It became something of a joke in my household; every new Assassin’s Creed title would be exciting at first, but ultimately I would feel “tricked” by it. So here we are with Assassin’s Creed III. Does it “trick” me, or does it do something else entirely?"

AC3 may be full of incidental bugs, but my god it's good. Once you get to sequence 8 and beyond i'd say it really is one of the best open world titles of the generation.

I was in the frontier during a blizzard. I perched atop one of the highest vantage points and surveyed the snow covered valley beyond. Evergreens blew in the wind and below me two Elk locked horns. It gave the best feeling of 'place' i've felt in a game since RDR.

What Ubisoft needs to do now is release another patch to fix all the little frustrations.

@pintheshadows, spot on mate, not since RDR has a a game done that to me either, the story keeps your interest this time round, I only played about half of assassins 2 and then pulled the pin, I'm glad there is a bit of story/lore to fill in the gaps if you didn't play the earlier ones. I'll definatly finish this one! Good shit

Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩

How did redfall not make the cut.

Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem263d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188263d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer263d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

'Assassin’s Creed III': Ten Years Later

With the recent reveal of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the promise that the series will return to its roots, there hasn’t been a better time to get stuck into Assassin’s Creed’s back catalog, whether it’s replaying an old favorite or getting lost in previously looked-over classic.

Ten years later, we miss the old you, Assassin's Creed.

Popsicle537d ago (Edited 537d ago )

I really enjoyed Assassins Creed 3. My only complaint was that I didn’t enjoy when I had to switch from Connor to Desmond. It’s a personal preference, but Connor’s story was just more fun for me.

On a side note, Black flag was the most enjoyable of the AC games I played.
