Welp, just finished Brotherhood. Onto Revelations! Eventually.
A warning- Revelations is not as good as Brotherhood.
Another warning- 3 is not as good as 2
AC3 excelled in improving some aspects of the series; it failed in upholding others. For example, the animation system for Connor as you play him is very fluid and seamless (the animations in general are pretty awesome, actually). On the flipside, the side quests (NOT the pegleg missions, I’m talking quests such as letter and item deliver), are unfulfilling and end in simple canned responses. The club missions were only marginally better.
Also you couldn’t upgrade your character with new armor, and I really liked being able to do that (as well as decorating my house in more pronounced ways).
“YOU HAVE MY EVERLASTING GRATITUDE SIR.”
OH YES MORE KITTY0706
The worst part was that you were not really rewarded in a noticeable way for completing these quests.
The repetitive responses and requests were really obvious and annoying as hell.
For example, I hate when that farmer is begging you to save him from “those British lobsterbacks”, and then an army of Continental soldiers start attacking him instead because apparently the developers forgot to account for the fact that the city is actually Patriot-occupied instead of British-occupied. Annoyingly immersion-breaking.
It’s an Animus glitch.
That’s kinda funny. All the glitches you encounter in an AC game as long as you’re in the box, can actually be canon and blamed on the box.
THEN YOU CAN NEVER REACH FULL SYNC???
But yeah that’s kind of funny actually.
I’ve noticed that, too, but it’s still no excuse if it gets out of hand. (Which so far, it has not. At least with the titles leading up to III, anyway.)
One thing I think hilarious about the AC series is when you’re tailing some high-up diplomat or ambassador. Sometimes they’ll turn around and check their surroundings for you. If their alert meter is almost fully red, and you’re behind some kind of wall or something, they will SOMEHOW go full-on parkour mode running across thin stone fences or hopping across rooftops to come find you.
And keep in mind, when I say diplomats and ambassadors, I’m talking bastards like this:
Haha, I never understood how everyone was a secret master of parkour. I remember the first game being pretty perplexed how even the guards could follow me up rooftops. Like really?
That’s nothing. I was playing AC I once, and puched a drunk in the docks (he was being annoying). The bastard aparently was drinking ninja serum since he escaped through some poles that I used to get there.
I was very “wtf mate” afterwards.
We wants it now.
Oh goddamit, I had just copied the link and was gonna post it here.
All I can say is that it looks fucking beautiful. It’s obviously running on the PS4 here, though, so I wonder how it will look on current-gen.
Still, DAT ANIMATION.
I’m all set for this. ACIII finally came out on Xbox and I’ll be caught up on all the games once I beat it.
What do you mean “finally came to xbox”? Did you dtep through a timewarp from November 2012?
Shit. I meant on Xbox Live. Sorry, I got so excited I just figured people would understand what I meant. The game took a discount on there, so I’m glad I didn’t have to shell out at Gamestop.
