Ignoring the story, the game was decent and th3 animations were fantastic. IV shaved them down and also reduced the movesets which I was a little miffed about.
ironically as good as it was there was still potential on the table that went unrealized due to the game being tied to Assassin's Creed
it should have been its own IP
Agreed. Most say it’s barely an assasins creed game and I think that’s what made it really good. Also, why the FRICK can’t they make any other game like it? Best we get is Team Fortress style Sea of thieves goofy freemium trash.
>IV shaved them down
While Black Flag definitely trimmed too much 3 also has some issues. Daggers straight up don't have a different animation set from tomahawks and plenty of sword attacks will reuse the animations for them as well, admittedly the tomahawks themselves are very nicely choreographed but it's a letdown. Connor with a naval axe is a beautiful sight, though.
It really wasn't, anon. I finished it for the first time in a decade a couple months ago, so I'm open to having a genuine vidya discussiona and for you to tell me why you think it's that good.
The worst part of the game was that tower defense shit where you spend like 10 mins ordering groups of patriots to shoot 5 redcoats at a time and the objective was to kill 150
It wasn’t, but it had the potential to be. The studio meddling really fricked the series into the dirt, and we’ll never get a modern day Desmond game because of it.
No. The game's first mistake was having a prologue that was more interesting than the rest of the game. The second mistake was the proto-woke decision to have the first game set in the United States (during the Revolution at that) be an indian. The third mistake was a weak present day story that closed the franchise (let's be real here) with a whimper.
>The second mistake was the proto-woke decision to have the first game set in the United States (during the Revolution at that) be an indian
But plenty of Indians fought on both sides during the war? How is it woke? It presents a more interesting perspective than if it was John Smith the white guy who acts and thinks like the rest of the game's cast.
Anon somehow believes the decision to have Connor be a naive teenager with a native mother but colonial father that learns as he goes along and wears his convictions on his sleeve was a woke one instead of an obvious, simple narrative one. None of it would work if the protagonist was an older wiser character that already knew 100% his convictions and where he stood in the world and the world. Connor's ancestry belonging to both the native people *and* the "invaders" from the other side of the sea is so obviously on purpose it makes me wonder how he missed it. Like, it it was going for wokeness it would just make Connor 100% a native, and ir certainly wouldn't end with his best friend dying and his tribe being forced to move away.
The Assassins Creed games set in america (3, 4, Rogue, Liberty) are the only AC games i liked. Say what you want about Ubisoft but seeing america as you come into land in AC3 was kino.
Coming out of the storm on the jackdaw for the first time was kino.
Frick no. It was middling at best. The story is the weakest part about it, but the native american-themed weapon kit was pretty cool. If I had to find a word to describe the game, I think I'd use "cringekino"
Connor was a whiny little b***hboy that nobody liked and I'm not going to let his character be even passable let alone good just because the abysmal decline of overall quality of AAA games over the years makes AC3 look like a work of art in comparison
This is true unfortunately. Recently replayed it and although still shitty on its own merits, these half-assed creed games that came out months apart are better than the slop we get now

Brehs, I'm writing my own comic and the main character is shaping out to be pretty close to Connor. How do I avoid the boring avenger type of character?
I went through and replayed the AC games up to AC3 on the 360
AC3 is the first game with VERY noticeable fps drops and short rendering distance.
Anytime a group of solider would volley fire, it would drop to like 15-20 fps.
Game was so shit it's now getting Magic The Gathering cards.
all things considered this was probably the first "goyslop" game. i liked it at release tho
that would be Halo 4 actually
>British chad knocks up indian temptress
>Gets killed by his own son 20+ years later for shit he didn't even order

Beating redcoats to death with the gunstock warclub was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had in vidya, it looked so brutal
4 was gods gift to gaming and piratechads who sing shanties together as they murder British and Spanish cuckholds.

Always hated this art
>looks nothing like Connor
>looks like he's about to kill Salazar from RE4
MISTER KENWAY
>how many fools can i kill today?
Kino

Yes but you unironically need to be high iq and focus to appreciate it.

I literally never did that, didn't even remember it exists.
But I do remember the ship combat
It was after the Paul Revere missions
You did do it.
I love the one animation where Connor dives into someone sword-first
It wasn’t, but it had the potential to be. The studio meddling really fricked the series into the dirt, and we’ll never get a modern day Desmond game because of it.

The gameplay was good but I do not give a single shit about connor and the plot was mostly boring. Still has the best opening of any AC tho
The Assassins Creed games set in america (3, 4, Rogue, Liberty) are the only AC games i liked. Say what you want about Ubisoft but seeing america as you come into land in AC3 was kino.

4 isn't set in America it's the carribean
homie stfu. The Caribbean is part of the american continent
It takes place before America was even a country with the Spanish and British being mortal enemies
Anon here is heavily brain damaged. He also mentioned liking Liberty which was objectively dogshit.
Frick no. It was middling at best. The story is the weakest part about it, but the native american-themed weapon kit was pretty cool. If I had to find a word to describe the game, I think I'd use "cringekino"
Connor was the best written assassin in the franchise
no.

Meant to reply to
I liked him at the time and I still like him now

Tension relief. Connor is at his best when you compare his attitude and actions in the base game with the Homestead missions.
>laughs in Altaïr, 50% of Ezio and Edward
>50% of Ezio
from the original Saga
Ezio > Altair > a dead dog > the guy that was experimented on before Desmond > Desmond > Connor
He had less personality than a log of wood and flip flopped loyalties and importance of said loyalties every 10 minutes.
AC3 was by far the weakest entry of the American era of AC.
Can't say that when Rogue exists
HOW MANY BLUNTS COULD I SMOKE TODAY
WHERE IS CHURLES LEEEEEEE
ac3 doing a forrest gump and making connor be part of all of the most important events of the american revolution was moronic
>boring ass zero-charm main character
>set in an even more boring period that basically nobody outside of amerilards care about
no
>nobody outside of amerilards care about
we don't care about it either
>any asscreed ever
>masterpiece
Hahahahaha how fricking new?

You people throw around the word masterpiece so much it's completely lost all meaning
And I'm tired of morons pretending shit games were actually good.
yeah I sure love throwing barrels
