Assassin's Creed 3 is JUST BARELY worth the 14 dollars that I paid for it through amazon. The main storyline is great, but goddamn, could the world be any bigger? Fuck.
That being said, you'll be frustrated at combat as a lot of times the game doesn't bother to show an indicator when some enemies are attacking when you're fighting a large group, and there is hardly any mounted combat unless you count assassinations from the horse you're on. A lot of the stuff that was promised for this game seems to either be really buggy and you have to work around it because they stopped patching it, or you just can't do it at all, like SPUR YOUR GODDAMN HORSE FASTER.
But the storyline is good, I guess. Not better than AC4's storyline though. I was thinking about getting AC1 and 2 but I honestly don't want to deal with just using hand blades because fuck that shit. I played AC1 and it was pretty bad, so was AC2.
But AC3 is just...
crap.
For one, you don't get to see synchronize points stright off the bat, you have to run around and effing FIND them. Along with every other goddamn collectable and section of the map, which is some goddamn fucking bullshit.
AC4, however, fucking perfection. I love collecting the collectables in AC4 very much, I thought AC3 would be just like AC4 with more glitches, but this is the one thing that pisses me off about AC3, besides horse spurring not working. AC4 is definitely an all around better game than AC3. Including the crafting aspects, dear god it's a mess in AC3.
I actually read somewhere that ubisoft just has their respective branches work on different parts of the game and then they slap it together. With Watch_Dogs and AC3, I honestly think that's true. AC4 must have been orchestrated a lot better via THE INTERNET. I.E. Communicating between PEOPLE.
