Board 8 > Fuck Assassins Creed III's Credits

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am in minute 12 of these interminable reams of names. The listing never ceases. I can't skip them. I can't pause them. I am being forces to sit through the most singularly dull video game moment ever. This is enough for me to rate this game a 5 out of 10.
---

oh yeah AC3's credits are notoriously terrible

it's about 20 minutes long
---

Hey I'm playing this game too!

Buggy fucking game
---

I'm at 99% complete. I just want to get that final set of action complete for the Hunting Society.

Is that too much to ask?
---

just walk away and do something else LOL
---

Terrible game.
---

I think if it just got patched it would be lretty great

Then you miss the epilogue scene if you're gone too long LOL

There was a period of time all Ubisoft games had horrible credits. I think Rayman Origins also had enormous credits, but you might have been able to skip them.

My friend and I played it co-op, they give you control of the characters to mess around with so we stuck it out for 20 minutes to see if there was anything special in it. There wasn't.
---

Still not as bad as MN9's credits.

Excellent game, haters almost directly ruined the series with their complaining.

Laughed so hard at the credits. Like if they sped it up the scroll speed by 50% it would've cut out 7 minutes alone.

I think it's actually not too much longer than AC2 but at least AC2 let you fight Abstergo in the credits. At least a speed-up would totally help.

I enjoyed a lot of the game, although I didn't see a ton of value in the crafting and hunting. It was busy work a lot of the time. I did love building the town, however.
---

Just play AC4, it's so much better
---

Hunting was fun even if superfluous. Just a natural extension of stealth really.

Not really. There were a lot of ideas that felt half-implemented and underutilized, and the enemy AI was absolutely all over the place.

What was ruined about future entries?

Tight mission design (it was the only worth 100%ing), tree/rock climbing (this is the most sad thing imo), nature in general (seasons), having a real character that isn't just some cool killer, cheesy , small personal stories (homestead, assassin recruits) instead of massive grindy content, actually decent assassination missions (first since AC1), interesting tool-based combat

The biggest thing it was missing was really tall climbs. It was also missing the tomb platforming sections, but a lot of the city and mission design had those fast linear platform sequences built into the levels. Also I just remembered the Desmond platforming sections holy shit those were good. Future ones got rid of all of that. Overall it's still the 2nd best climbing in the series after Brotherhood, and by far the best climbing mechanics/animations.

Yeah it killed my interest in the series
---

imagine getting mad over ending credits
---

Also yea it's not like the best of the series by any means but people harp on III way too hard
---

Connor was a bit of a problem too. Ezio was so charismatic and such a great character, and then Connor just felt like a step down

Good job Haytham was great

Tbh I have played worse games, but it was just such a let-down and when I played it it was a huge mess technically (so many glitches)

I cant tell if youre responding earnestly or pulling a foolmo, but Im gonna assume the former: They were setting up all this cool modern day stuff and then straight up aborted it. So lame.
---

The modern stuff was kinda lame tbh especially if they continued it
---

They had 5 games of Desmond and they ended it at AC3. It seemed logical.

No you're lame.

I thought they were leading all the future stuff to an eventual modern day AC where you'd go around killing all the Abstergo peeps as Desmond and shit. But nope.

I mean, you kind of did that in 3.

Its interesting you say this when I can't help but feel its been incredibly aggravating entirely due to the game's bugginess. I would otherwise agree that I really love the intentional aspects of the missions so far, but it's really been hard to enjoy when I'm restarting way more often than past games not through my own mistakes half the time.

I actually don't get the Connor complaints at all though. I've been really enjoying how he plays off other people.

See I don't actually trust Ubisoft to do that without it feeling kinda generic
---

I feel like the fake history stuff with Washington and company seemed more out of place in this game than any other. Maybe that also had to do with the fact that I'm more familiar with the actual history.
---

The historical plot has been both a boon snd detriment to the story.

It's inherently interesting because it leans harder on real stuff than before, but it also removes the protagonist from a real story arc and expanded cast in lieu of cameos. Some of them like Revere and Barret have been fun, but it's like new minor characters show up and disappear constantly (foe obvious reasons).

The sequence with Haytham and the prison were great because it could tell a more interestinf story without worrying about historical figures.

I don't remember too many aggravating bugs, but I do remember restarting missions a lot to get 100% of the side challenges, some of which were really difficult. That's what I liked about it. It had this MGS mastery kinda feel to it. I remember spending 45 minutes on the boat infiltration mission and it was frustrating and glorious and unlike anything in AC.

The key was that there were like... 30 story missions max? And like 15 side missions. Totally reasonable to play over and over, whereas future ACs get tiring halfway through even the first playthrough.

Speaking of the boat infiltration everyone raves about 4 but no one recognizes that 3 literally invented the boat combat and the boat climbing, ontop of tree climbing, ontop of weather and animals, ontop of parkour-style animation. 3 had everything (except a masculinity-porn suave killer character).
---

3 is where the modern day stuff truly jumped the shark. I was so into finding out more about it, particularly during 2 and Brotherhood, and they just shit the bed completely with the modern day stuff in 3.

The actual gameplay of those levels was good though
---

It hasn't felt like mgs mastery because it's not intuitive why I'm messing up.

It's not every mission but that boat one I think was pretty bad about it. I can't remember ezio trilogy guards seeing me with their backs turned or outright ignoring dead bodies. And fuck the running past cannonballs!
---

I honestly don't remember much in terms of bugs when I played
---

Once you get in the mindset that a game is buggy and you're mad it's easy to see bugs everywhere.

I did have connor just freeze up after investigating a clue too. But whatever! Hopefully some remaster comes out and it'll be a top AC game like it's meant to be.

Implying AC games aren't still buggy
---

I had bugs on lockpicking several times and I had a couple other weird instances, but the other ones were amusing. One involved me climbing into a window a suddenly skyrocketing 200 feet into the air.

AC3 was the first game where they actually DID anything with that modern stuff.

...and also the last. In 4, Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate it was back to just filler shit again.

I thought 4's use of the present was pretty interesting, honestly.

4's was great but Unity's sucked, not sure what they're doing for the newer ones
