"Assassin’s Creed III is the long-awaited climax of the Assassin’s Creed story arc, following Desmond Miles on the last stretches of his journey to save the world from complete decimation.
Unfortunately, Assassin’s Creed III has a mild case of identity crisis and is severely lacking in consistency, both in gameplay and polish."
Note: this review is spoiler-free.
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* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Here are the most peaceful areas in games that are otherwise quite violent, offering players respite from chaos in the game world.
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.
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.
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.
The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.
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.
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.
I've heard mixed things about this game: especially that it is a really really slow start, which isn't great for attracting new people to the franchise.
The combat is better, the wilderness is kind of cool, but it really does suffer pacing issues....and too many loading screens for a game that has a forced install on PS3.
A lot of funny bugs too! When I played the beginning with the captain...he was a ventriloquist who talked without his mouth moving in a cut scene!
I also don't like these cities as much to explore.
As he said, it fizzled... five years and games, and then boom. Barely made any spark for a moment it had been drumming up to.
I'm enjoying the game, but like the author suggests, it's just mssing that certain something from the previous games.
Although, I do like Connor much more than Altair, but can't compete with Ezio.
Meh, Connor I thought was great... the whole Indian thing and how the back story compliments the characters throughout was rather genius. Perhaps I'm showing my age a bit, but I thought it had a similar tone to Costner's Dances with Wolves flick, it's probably the environment, the pesky military, and all the Indians in the woods.
I loved everything about it; within the Animus. Desmond's aspect was frankly just piss poor, complete let down and for the serie's long arc throughout, more so dissapointing. The only time I was intrigued by Desmond's antics was in the first game, where he was locked up, made you want to explore and figure out what was going on.
Typical though that Desmond's best game would be the worst one from within the Animus.
Assassin's Creed 3 , besides Desmond, just forget his whole ordeal throughout as it literally turns into complete nonsense. Besides that the issue I personally found, is as others have described - pacing. It's like Ubisoft had all these great ideas, but didn't quite workout how to fit the jigsaw together, just never felt any sense of progression, and now the story's actually done and dusted I'm enjoying the game more.
The Naval missions for one are a blast, and you can easily miss most of them as the majority are side-quests when they could have easily been worked into the main story.
Order of awesomeness: AC2, Brotherhood, AC3, AC1 (mainly for Desmond), Revelations.
