Assassins Creed 3- Disappointing?

Link

Well, the guy certainly exaggerates a lot, and I don't agree with some of the points (parkour; music, which is not as good as AC2 or Brotherhood but still pretty good), but I actually agree with him on most of the points.

I'd actually read the entire article rather than just the headings before commenting.

P.S: I like AC3, I just think it was kinda disappointing, and it's probably the second weakest game in the series after Revelations. Still a great game, though.

boooooo

It's not as good as Assassin's Creed 2, but it's still an awesome game and the best one of the year so far.charizard1605

I know I posted on this in another thread today, but it's Kotaku, why bother?

I thought the game was great. It was definitely rough around the edges but the package as a whole came together quite nicely. I still think AC2 is the best the series has to offer, but I wasn't disappointed by 3.

Game felt the same since AC2

It took awhile, but now I'm doing the Homestead missions and I'm pretty hooked in right now. I like how everything is assigned to two or few buttons. It makes it more fluid when you get used to it.

The one thing that has me dialed in though is the environments and atmosphere of the game. It sooo breathtaking and real to a point I feel like just standing still and take in the surroundings whether it be in the city or the frontier.

Assassin's Creed III is a great game.

I did enjoy AC 2 and Brotherhood more, but AC III was a solid title to me. I agree with some of what was said in the article (it did fill a bit slow, and the loading screens got annoying) but for the most part it was a good game.

They should really stop with the yearly releases and take the time to make a great game not just an average one.-Renegade

A new hyped game in a long running series from this generation is disappointing?

Impossible.

Not one bit for me. I was very skeptical about the setting and the naval aspect, but I love it! Contolling your own boat and getting into battles is a ton of fun. Revelations was the biggest disappointment I had in years, but this game might be my GOTY. I know everyone's opinions differ, but this game is something else. The level design, especially in the frontier is amazing. The voice work is also awesome, fighting is fun and the story is great.

I wouldn't say it's disappointing as much as it's still Assassin's Creed. It is for better or worse more Assassin's Creed. And the reality of it is that Assassins Creed was never a great series. It was fun sure, and some neat ideas, butit also wasted a whole lot of potential as well over the past 5 years. Three isn't really all that different from that group. jg4xchamp

Am i the only one who feels gamers on system wars have ridiculously high standards, its almost as if no game can ever satisfy their thirst or like they are looking for a game made from heaven or something

Sadly that's how it is around here....it's sad but at least you know people around here have bad taste (meaning they miss out on a lot of games).

Atm I'm playing through Dishonored,Borderlands 2,Torchlight 2 and AC3. All of them are goty material (except maybe TL2) and it's gonna be hard to choose from 3 of those games for my goty. I could care less about what GS hands out for goty since they are just a joke when it comes down to video game professionalism.

Yeah totally.. And Its not just that there is five games, its that there has been five games in five years.

Remember when it took a really long time for something to come out? That allowed time for the industry to change and for developers to come up with great new ideas and push things forward. Now that we get stuff every year every big series feels like Madden or FIFA. Yearly updates with a bunch of stuff thats a little different, but its just overall improvement of the same game not an entirely new one.

Because of this games that are 4-5 years old even just from this generation feel anchient and outdated because that same game is just being updated yearly rather than something new given to us to where we remember older releases more fondly for what it did differently than the current releases we are receiving

For example, game like Super Mario World and A Link to the Past are remembered as some of the best games of the 16 bit generation, even though they came out within like the first year that it really started. If that generation operated the same way ours does then Super Mario world 2 and 3 would have come out the next 2-3 years and been just a little bit of an improvement to make the original feel outdated. At the sacrifice of games like Star fox and Yoshis Island being made as well because hey the big series are more important than making new ones

That article is a bit nitpicky. A lot of those little things the guy complains about have been present in most of the series.

The fact is, the gameplay is pretty much objectively better than AC2, and that's what matters most.

I really liked it. Haytham should have been the main character though he was f*cking cool.

Controls and stealth mechanic are valid points, that's about it.

OR IS THERE?

From what I've heard it's the best one since Assassin's Creed II, but still woefully underpolished with some unfortunate corners cut and a supposedly bad ending (I don't know anything about that though).

I see no point in reading the article. I will judge for myself soon enough because I am getting the game for my youngest daughter.AmazonTreeBoa

It was disappointing. Way to many problems with the game.

I won't say it's dissapointing just not as good as Assassins Creed 2.

I've got to agree with the author. Most of what he points out is dead on. It's really a matter of whether you are willing to power on through the problems and finish the game or not. I wasn't. I've enjoyed every other game in the series, including the first one, but I just can't make myself want to play any further through this game. It's really a shame considering how much I was looking forward to the game and the story.
