Assassin’s Creed 3 Review - Duuro Magazine

Duuro says: "ssassin's Creed 3 is the true sequel we have all been waiting for. The story is fantastic, the gameplay and the new additions are better than ever. The naval missions are the coolest thing ever. Visually it's a treat for your eyes. Assassin's Creed 3 is the best Assassin's Creed game to date!"

9.4 is a little generous in my opinion, the story wasn't that good (especially the ending), many missions were boring passing you from stranger to stranger to do menial tasks, Connor wasn't a particularly interesting character. The environments were brilliant though, the city felt alive and the wilderness was cool to explore and hunt, and of course the naval combat was awesome.

I would say that AC:2 is the best game in the series.

ZBlacktt3892d ago

This is on point with what I would have said myself.

kraideral3892d ago

Everyone has their opinions, can't argue with that. But the story was pretty epic and since they had a real life story to follow, I was amazed how they managed to squeeze those special Assassin's Creed moments and twists. Connor is not Ezio and I understand why people didn't like him. But if you truly followed the story, you would understand why Connor is how he is, what he experienced as a kid and teen, turned him into the Assassin. Ezio lived live like a little prince, that's why he had that kind of personality, but Connor didn't have any of those.

GarrusVakarian3892d ago (Edited 3892d ago )

You have a fair point about why Connor is the way he is, i guess he was doomed from the moment Ubisoft wrote him because of his gloomy backstory and they knew he wouldn't be as loved as Ezio. I did enjoy SOME parts of the story it just felt a little disconnected at times and the ending was lackluster in my opinion.

@Lucas_Japonicus The other ending of AC3, the video contained a very powerful message about humanity and the ending was very suprising! I cannot wait to see how they plan to continue the story on Black Flag

GarrusVakarian3892d ago

Would you PM me about that other ending and jog my memory please? Thanks.

Sketchy_Galore3892d ago

I just started this game thanks to PS Plus and initially I was far more impressed than I thought I would be. I'm still so early on that I'm playing as Kenway but already I had to rage quit due to the annoying controls. I'm supposed to tell my follower to hide or follow me using the circle button, which means when I'm balancing on a wall in full view of a patrol of guards and want to drop down I instead keep shouting 'follow' 'stay' 'follow' 'wait here' and for some reason when I'm standing on solid ground mashing circle like crazy the game acts like its never even heard of a circle button. I've never seen such insane mapping of controls.

kraideral3892d ago

Play it all the way through, that is all I am going to say! It is super fricking amazing!

Sketchy_Galore3892d ago

I will definitely jump back into it. Like I said it was much better than I expected up to that point. I was suffering severe franchise fatigue by the time Revelations came out so I didn't buy that and I didn't trust 3 to be much of a step forward so I didn't bother buying. It was just upsetting to go so quickly from, 'wow this is pretty good I don't know why this game got such a bad rap' to wanting to throw my controller across the room due to the insane mapping of many wildly different actions to the same button and just odd choices like shooting with Triangle.

Der_Kommandant3892d ago

Isn't this like a little late?

GarrusVakarian3892d ago

Never too late to play and a review a game.

ZBlacktt3892d ago (Edited 3892d ago )

Many are just now playing it as it's now free on PS Plus.

As was my point kraideral.

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* 😩

Flawlessmic266d ago

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.

Killer2020UK271d ago

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

Rimeskeem271d ago

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

closed_account270d 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.

mastershredder271d ago (Edited 271d 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_188271d 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.

RPGer270d 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.

Popsicle545d ago (Edited 545d 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.
