Assassin's Creed® III Remastered

I enjoyed my time revisiting Assassin's Creed 3 far more than I expected. I played it once back in 2013 and remembered it less fondly than any of the other AC games pre-Origins. But turns out my recollection of the game gave it too little credit. This remaster changes the game in a few ways. Personally I much prefer the warmer tones the lighting upgrade brings, even if it does ruin faces sometimes during cutscenes. The QoL enhancements are great, especially whistling which makes stealth more viable. But in the end it is mostly the same experience as the original. That means it has the same pro and cons as the original. The narrative shines, with the Templars getting their moment in the spotlight in the opening hours, as well as during Connor's sequences where they have motives and goals that are not simply like cartoon villains. In that it is only surpassed by the original Assassin's Creed. The back and forth between Connor and others like Achilles or Haytham is also a highlight. These characters shine. However, for as much praise as it deserves, the narrative has pacing issues. The game begins as media do, introducing characters, storylines etc. But then after a few hours it kind of resets on this front when you take control of Connor, and it feels like we're redoing the opening hours again, with limited exploration and new tutorials and set-up. All in all it can take up to 10 hours for the game to really open up. This is also the last time that the modern day features in a significant way. It at least tries to go out with a bang, but doesn't hit the mark entirely. The game diverts from its predecessors in that it features far fewer urban areas and more nature. This fits the setting, and when viewed in the context of its release it was a different and perhaps welcome experience after 4 games centered around cities. Of course, it's been 10 years now where urban areas with parkour as a means of traversal has effectively stopped being an important aspect of AC games, so with this in mind the reduction in parkour is unfortunate. The two cities, Boston & New York, are also less well fitting for Parkour, with their wider streets. Connor jumps farther so that compensates somewhat, but overall parkour is just less fun. The changed parkour system is not really an upgrade over the original system. Neither is the removal of high and low profile. The frontier also just does not work very well for gameplay. There's little to do, and mission design has you running around too much in these empty areas. At least AC3 has parkour routes in trees, which was a great way to combine this different setting with the traversal that is such a core part of AC-identity. Going back to mission desing, the Homestead missions are plentiful and work to make the Homestead feel lived in, far better than similar efforts in later entries. But their design is often of poor quality and has some bad voice acting/direction. The naval missions introduce the naval combat so often lauded in Black Flag, but the way you access them is a bit gamey. Though the actual naval mechanics are fantastic for their first try. This game also includes a remaster of AC: Liberation, greatly increasing the amount of content.

Great game design.You want me to shoot 3 powder carts with only 2 bullets.Fk u,Ubisoft

THOSE DAMN SHIPS

hatalarla dolu bir oyun.

Начало игры это просто испытание. Скучно до ужаса, пролог тянется вечность, и всё это время ты думаешь а когда уже нормально играть дадут. Потом становится лучше. Коннор дерётся жёстко, боёвка зрелищная, врагов разносишь как терминатор. Паркур в лесах выглядит круто, но иногда работает как хочет, а не как надо. Морские миссии классные зрелищные. Но всё портят душные задания с условиями на 100% и периодически тупящий стелс а так всё отлично. Итог: Игра норм, но старт это реально боль. Оценка: 9/10

багованная [b] хуīniǎo [/b]🥰 юбисофт должны заплатить за терапию: после седьмой главы накрывает депрессия от потраченных нервов, и хочется устроить резню в ближайшей игровой колонии из-за того, что французы выпустили это дерьмище

Спустя годы становится только лучше, а на выходе конечно была так себе
