Assassin's Creed III Review | bagofgames.com

Even though the Assassin’s Creed games are some of the most tedious I have ever played, the fifth installment, while keeping the game play style consistent with its predecessors, adds extra features in an attempt to create a larger and more engaging world.

This time around, you’re not playing as boring Altair or Ezio “Mama Mia!” Auditore. For the majority of Assassin’s Creed III, you follow the journey of the half Native American Ratonhnhaké:ton, nicknamed Connor ‘cause you gotta give the voice actors a break

"Desmond Miles’ story is worthless"

Uh, what? O_o

The fact that you're no good at playing a game shouldn't be a reason to look at it in a completely subjective manner and give it score that it simply doesn't deserve...

And why did this guy even review the game if he clearly has such contempt for the entire AC series? O_o

Stretch4183d ago

Because it's a game. And I review games. I didn't let my disdain for the series get in the way of my thoughts.

I gave Spec Ops: The Line an 8.4, even though I've NEVER played and probably never will another Spec Ops game.

I review a game based on its own merits, nothing more.

Kwijiboe4184d ago

I agree completely with this guy's review.

I think that AC 3 has a lot of problems, but it also has a lot to do.

Thefreeman0124184d ago

This game is a lot of fun so far what I've played, I do feel that maybe ubisoft should have worked less on how large the game is and work on pacing and story telling a little more. I feel a bit lost in the story with how much there is to do.it all becomes a bit overwhelming. For me if the bugs were fixed, the sorry telling was a bit more fluid and the game was a little easier to understand it would be a 10/10. But for me so far its a 7.5-8/10

Neo Nugget4183d ago

To be fair, I think the story in AC2 was just as thick. It took me a while to comprehend exactly what I was doing most of the time...

This reviewer obviously sucks at this game and is just a hater.

He downscores the game because he's not a person who likes doing side activities/collecting stuff etc. Guess what dude. they are OPTIONAL but don't downgrade a game for that as negative.

At first it was kind of tedious having to play an 'Epilogue' style tutorial until Sequence 6, but now that I am finally Connor, I have forgotten all about it.

I haven't really ran into any bugs so far. I assume they happen after Sequence 6.

Right now I give this game a 8/10, but now that I am about to begin the fun part (play as Connor, collectibles, hunting, side missions etc) - It may raise the score to 9 or 9.5/10

Note to reviewer : Quit reviewing games if you can't review them properly.

Stretch4183d ago

Yes, they are optional, and I had NO desire to do any of them after the first few.

I didn't have this issue with Borderlands 1 and 2, Skyrim, Oblivion, Mass Effect 1,2 and 3, KOTOR 1 and 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3,4 and 5, Titan Quest, Fable 2 and many others.

So, what makes Assassin's Creed III immune to this criticism?

Games with the dumbest NPCs

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.

Killer2020UK264d ago

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

Rimeskeem264d ago

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

closed_account263d ago

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.

mastershredder264d ago (Edited 264d 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_188264d 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.

Popsicle538d ago (Edited 538d 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.
