"As stunning as the game looks and as enthralled as I was by the story - which really is quite intriguing if you look for all the information - the game's flaws are too hard to ignore. They mostly boil down to how the game seemingly goes out of its way to make things less fun than they should be. Escaping should be something Altair is highly skilled at, but guards are just about as agile, leaping from building to building after you. Time after time I was moments from taking shelter in some hay, in a roof garden or in the safety of a group of scholars, when a guard would spot me, and another lengthy pursuit would ensue - what should have been great fun quickly devolved into a chore.
Don't take this to mean that I didn't enjoy the game; it's something that I highly recommend, but it's just not as polished as it should have been. While it looks utterly amazing, the frame rate drops to sluggish levels in both versions of the game - usually while free-running on roof tops - and the PS3 game suffers from a slightly less than great frame rate during most of the game. There's also noticeable tearing in both versions of the game. It's not enough to put you off the game, but a shame nonetheless. If fully polished Assassin's Creed would have hands down been the best looking game of this console generation."
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.
Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4
The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.
No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.
Nope
There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war
They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided
They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back
I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.
Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.
Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience
Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Yet ANOTHER game that proves the Xbox 360 is simply the most powerful console on the market, PS3 is having trouble keeping up thanks to its garbage unwieldy and inefficient architecture and its restrictive memory
I read somewhere that its the review disks..... only GameSpot had the actual retail....
HAHA... if you believe that you will no doubt believe that zhuk isn`t a fanboy, if you look ever so closely at the picture a green tear is coming out of his eye..... awww emo fanboy, how sweet.
Although the top statement i did read somewhere or rather. LOL, made me chuckle. To be perfectly honest people are so anal about framerate that they turn a molehill into a mountain about it, Prime example PES2008, Frame rate fine INGAME, Replays bad.... where`s the crippling slowdown? (NON-HD TV OWNER). Up yours Konami.
people who does not own HDTV and have a nextgen console should not give opinions on how it is low res and low frames. you did the first step(moved on to NG consoles) why not make the second step(get your self an HDTV)
So a game that started on the ps3 is better on the 360???? Poor sony owners.
round 2. Xbox 360 won the first round on points after ps3 went on its ass again
