Assassins Creed 3

Just finished it, and I'm not sure if it's my fav or not, I have to give it time to sink in. I love AC2 because it fixed everything that was wrong with the first game and Ezio was an awesome character, but the storyline was overly confusing and the ending was balls. The story in AC3 is much easier to understand, but Connor is such a boring goody-two-shoes, and the ending this time really is one of the worst in recent memory. I just can't follow the Desmond storyline, it's so over complicated, with 10 minute long monologues from holograms, I just gave up on ever understanding what was going on. Connors story was much better, even if his character was a little weak, there were some great villains and the navals levels kicked arse.

de_la_Nae:
...man, every time I try to decide which one was the weakest overall, I run into reasons why it can't be. Brotherhood was a little samey, but...introduces Assassin Recruits, and that ending! 1's gameplay is dated compared to its successors, but that story and that setting! Revelations was all "oh great even MORE Ezio", but he was still pretty enjoyable after all! Besides flashback-plays and dashing around Constantinople.

Maybe 2? But I don't really want to commit to that either, a lot of stuff it introduced has stuck around for good reason.

By the way, as to the point about Desmond's story, now I haven't finished 3 (really 5) so I can't speak 100%, but a cursory glance on my part seems to indicate that the buyable extras fix a lot of the holes in the various characters' stories, including the 'present-day' ones.

That's some Mass Effect 3 shit right there, I'm not falling for it. They should have gotten it right the first time since they had years to perfect it.

de_la_Nae:
Usually they do this shit on purpose. Like 2's time skip near the end, with the intervening years being extras?

I'm often of 2 minds about this this sort of thing. I *like* being able to romp around in a setting and game I like some more, see even more sights, etc. I also like not paying more money.

I sort of think that main plot points should be actually resolved in the main-line story though ( (click to show/hide)unlike the mystery of Lucy's betrayal and death at your hands).

I got this for Christmas and hell. So far, this sucks. I played through AC2 and Brotherhood and enjoyed the first of these quite a bit more than the other, but still, good stuff. So far I haven't enjoyed this one single bit.

- The graphics were outdated already, so why reuse it? Have they even made any new movement patterns (villagers walking and avoiding you etc) or just changed the buildings and clothes? Like someone mentioned the shadings are seriously off sometimes. They don't look right and they often point completely wrong.
- The main character is the most stony bastard I've seen. I don't want him to win, I want him to get hit by a carriage and drown in the mud. I also don't like how he seems to be a full-fledged assassin from the very start, it makes very little sense to me to do it this way. Not that I want AC2 all over again, it's just that you get no chance to build a connection with a character who's a superman from the beginning.
- Mum walked in when Benjamin Franklin went on about why older women are preferable in bed. Oofah.
- Shaun's humor in the Animus has reached it's lowest point ever, and that's saying a lot. I used to read through all of the place and person descriptions and now I just avoid them. I get that part of the joke is that he should be annoying but this is way beyond my pain threshold.
- It lags and I've died twice because of bugs already. Once on the ship he just went straight up into the air, fell down and died. The other time he went through a wall and somehow got sucked into oblivion I guess. Also, when the Captain on the ship spoke, his mouth was closed. All the time. I honestly thought someone else was doing his talking all the time like some kind of weird puppet joke. But there just seems to be something wrong with my game.

I'm hoping for a better gaming session.. maybe tomorrow. So far though, it has not reached my modest expectations.
