    Why Assassin's Creed III is the worst game since..roshambo

    I couldn't think of a witty yet short comparison that would convey the pain and suffering I felt playing this game so I went with an obscure South Park reference which included getting slammed in the bread basket, but then realised it was the most appropriate - starts with a promise of greatness, then you realise "hmm I had a great start (kick a kid in the nerts/be a badassassin [bad-ass assassin combined, I shouldn't need to explain that]), oh wait there is some doubt here on whhhhhhhy (is he...is he going to kick MY nuts?!?/do I have to put up with the most petulant protagonist ever created?!), the ending to this kid's game couldn't literally be any worse (my nuts my nuts I can't see my nuts/the ending to this video game couldn't be any worse).

    WOW that was long-winded, I apologise if it didn't make sense I'm quite drunk...and super furious. Who let this game get 8/9 out of 10s?! It is a mother-flippin' hodge-podge of grade-A donkey...poop.

    The worst controls of any Creed since 1 (one mission I had to redo at least 10 times because I didn't aim in exactly the right direction...god damnit use smart-AI paths).

    The most ridiculous learning curve ever - 15 hours of slogging before you stopped laying tutorial missions on...but then you only had 3 story missions to do EVERYTHING the game has to"offer"

    TOO MUCH TO DO IN SUCH A SMALL TIME (as above, needs bringing up twice)

    btw this ultra-late review is caused by paralysis - I damaged my arm/wrist/hand causing nerve damage so only recently could use a pad, so this and any other games released after late '12 I'm just catching up on...although so far after hitman, batman, gta 5,uncharted, transformers war of cybertron etc etc this is the only high profile game I wnted to write a review on..even knowing NOBODY cares, THAT'S HOW GOD DAMN TERRIBLE THIS GAME WAS TO ME...

    Anyway about to start Ass creed 4...please let you have fixed your bull poop of a franchise

    Oh as a side note...why make your protagonist such a turd?!

    I took a break..still rolling.

    I finished my laundry...still rolling.

    I CHANGED ALL MY BEDDING IT WON'T STOP THE CREDITS ARE LONGER THAN THE GAME.

    I don't understand how EA get's so much hate from none-workers...Ubisoft clearly are more self-lovin' and so much more up than-selves based purely \on this NEVER FLIPPIN' ENDING CREDIT SEQUENCE IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 20 MINUTES GOD DAMNIT

    Re: Why Assassin's Creed III is the worst game since..roshambo

    I just stopped playing it and uninstalled it. I finish AC4 and then try AC3 so ya I felt like the AC3 was complete garbage compared to AC4. The controls just made me want to rage and well I did rage lol. Maybe 2 hours at most and then uninstall. Played on PC with a Razer Onza.

    Maybe if I had played it before AC4 it wouldn't have felt so clunky.

    Mod hat: Please watch the asterisks on the boards - if it needs asterisks, you probably shouldn't be saying it.

    Gamer hat: Yes, it was terrible. Although every discussion I've seen has stated that AC4 is much, much better, so I'm holding out for that. I paid £16 for AC3 inc all DLC, and feel utterly ripped off, so there's no way I'm paying more than £7/8 for AC4.

    AC4's DLC seemed kind of weak and just getting the core game should be the priority. I don't know if they brought out any new DLC's though. If you see the core game cheap I say scoop it up!

    Must admit, Connor on AC3 just grates on me, he's a pretty annoying character, just don't like him, he is very different to Altair and Ezio from the previous games. I also don't like the setting to much, just doesn't seem to fit right with the whole AC universe, haven't played it in ages, last bit I done was saving Washington after the trip to the gallows.

    However, I won a copy of AC4 from a friend on Twitter over last weekend and I really like it, Edward Kenway is literally in it for the money and he ties into the opening bit of AC3 with the Templar. Stealth bits actually work better on AC4 I feel, easier to sneak about from undergrowth and the likes. Combat flows really well, most cases though its literally counter and insta kill, mind you AC3 is the same in this respect.

    The main problem I had with AC3 is that Connor was a prick. He hated everyone and just came across as angry/moany.

    I completed the game but that's because I had nothing better to play. Annoyingly I got AC4 and was really enjoying it but after forcing myself to 100% AC3 I was just burnt out on that style of game so put it down and haven't gone back to it.

    It would be so much better if the people who make assassins creed just take longer to think about and make a game. AC4 was better than 3. But it still can't be compared even close to the second one

    I liked the AC3 environment, snowy boston, forests, etc. Was a bit of a windup story though
