Assassin's Creed® III Remastered

AC3 is one of my favourite of the Saga but this remaster is poorly executed. Bad looking faces and most of the glitchs from the original are still present here. AC Liberation ends up being a better Remaster overhaul and that comes from a PS Vita game. However I cannot leave a bad review since this is the best way nowdays to experience AC3 and AC Liberation HD.

This game is the combination of 3 products that have been combined into one, all of which have been remastered. For the purposes of my review, I will break each into their own parts and post the DLC and Liberation's reviews as comments to this review. All 3 parts come from the perspective that I have 100% each, including achievements. (1/3: Base Game) AC: 3 Is a game of holding huge expectations following the Ezio trilogy, in a promising setting, that literally misses every single mark that it should. To begin, this game is obviously on Ubisoft's awful launcher which docks it points right away. Another thing that docks it points is the fact that this game is supposed to be a remaster. For context, I had not played through this game on release or on the other version of this game, and so I cannot comment on the issues that that version had comparatively. However, this game at times looks downright bad. Other than the standout characters' skin routine, everything else seems to have been ported from this game's release. This remaster came out in 2019. To compare that with AC's modern release at the time, Odyssey, this game looks like complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'm not expecting them to remake the game from the ground up, but this isn't a 2015 release. This came out the same time RDR2 did. This game is also riddled with a huge amount of bugs. To list a few, horse riding is so janky that you will just run around the map instead even though the map is scaled for horses, making it take forever. The camera will spaz out without any notice. AI will either detect you from across the map like Robocop, or has no eyes at all. Your gear loadout will reset every time after you unlock a crafting upgrade and change map. Sound is bugged. NPCs can wonder into cutscenes and will get stuck on your character meaning you can't see anything. And so much more. If this game wasn't a remaster I could forgive some of these, but to rerelease this game at the time you did and leave it like this is a straight negative review from me. As for features the game keeps or loses from previous games. Armor as a sales category is now gone (Will mention in further depth in a second) but firearms are added. Hunting is added to resemble some of the success Far Cry had with it. Some linear Naval combat has been added. Homestead missions are available. Crafting/Trading. And some very minor things that I may have forgotten. The Naval stuff is actually pretty good! I can understand why they make a Pirate game after this. The Homestead stuff is fine but generally quite generic. And the firearms are surprisingly balanced for an AC Ubisoft game. The hunting sucks. You basically run up to an animal, wait for a quick time event to come up, then skin the animal. No challenge, no real input by the player, sometimes you literally stand still and then just press a button. One thing that is awful however, is that every single animal you kill needs to be skinned as Ubisoft try to respect that you are playing a Native American. Sometimes you are just running through a zone -because you can't use your horse- and the game will throw 5 wolves at you. It takes like 3 seconds per skin, however it just brings up a black screen each time. The crafting comes online super late. When you need money, you can't craft. When you don't need money, you finally can and you turn into Elon Musk. Trading will give you thousands of gold easily but it happens so late in the game that you don't even need it. The removal of armour thus sucks because you have less stuff to spend money on throughout the game. It also sucks because you just look boring throughout the entire game imo. Onto the story. I'm not going to act like I'm a writer, nor am I going to go over a game that's a decade and a half old. It starts well as Haytham and all of the characters you interact with are all interesting and well voice acted. Then the twist happens and you become Connor. Every single character is a downgrade. The voice acting is worse on every single character and when you see the characters from Haytham's time again they are so much better than everyone else. For the first few hours is honestly this game's peak in terms of story telling. Connor's voice actor is also abysmal. People will argue that it sounds like a Native because the VA is one, but that doesn't translate into a fun game or a well performed character. Connor isn't even that bad. He gets a lot of hate but that comes from Haytham being so cool. Honestly, after coming off of Ezio being the best character Ubisoft has ever made, Haytham almost tops him in the very next game. If this game was from Haytham's perspective the story would actually be one of the best ones. Haytham believes neither in the Templar or Assassin ideology and such he acts in HIS beliefs. Yet he has two metaphorical sons of each side; Charles Lee and Connor. This game SHOULD have been a Red Dead style of game where Haytham has to pick between both and how that helps form America in such a volatile period. Oh and the IRL story is actually pretty good until they literally ruin it for the rest of the series. I can't believe I'm going to say this either, but this game suffers from not being woke enough. If you are going to scrap Haytham for Connor and make Connor's whole objective throughout the game (all of his choices, becoming an assassin, etc) about his people, then make me care for his people. The Native American history to me is absolutely interesting and yet they barely make you care or actually exploit that the story revolves around a Native. This game should show the horrors that BOTH sides perform to the Natives. It shouldn't just forget they exist until Connor needs to go away for a few missions. This is easily solved too. Just have them join your homestead, it's that easy. Finally, some of the mission objectives just flat out suck. The Full Sync objectives on some missions make Connor seem absolutely idiotic if these were a real person's memories and most of them are bugged to ♥♥♥♥. Overall, this game shouldn't be forgotten. Connor's story deserves to be experienced. However, the base game is absolutely not worth paying for since this Remaster is a load of ♥♥♥♥.

Sin duda el linaje Kenway es el mejor de toda la saga

I personally had a good time with it. There's some jank, as to be expected in anything from ubisoft, but that didn't effect my opinions of the game

夯

i like it

Me chupa tanto la bija la parte de "la vida real", hubieran hecho un juego de la guerra de independencia de los yankis y hubiera sido un 8/10, pero no esta empresa de m1erda se boicotea sola. Ubisoft delenda est.
