Good thing is that it is at least possible to fix on the ps3 unlike the other console....

SabreMan6015d ago

whats it got to do with Sony ??

it's the game developers who issue game patches not Sony unless Sony have developed it

v1c1ous6015d ago

so patches to games are ps3 exclusive?

hahaha oh wow

Hugh Hefner6015d ago

360 version doesn't require a patch, that's the difference.

Skerj6015d ago

@Hugh

And it's STILL just as effin buggy as the PS3 version, flamewar denied.

Hugh Hefner6015d ago

From several different impressions, the 360 version doesn't have nearly the framerate problems and constant freezing that the PS3 one has. By the way, gamesR4fun tried to start the flamewar not me.

Snukadaman6015d ago (Edited 6015d ago )

If that was the case madden 08 would of been patched long time ago am I right??You need more memory for framerate problems right....?? other things like glitches going through mountains on the 360 and that 2 character glitch can be fixed. But still have not experienced any of those problems.

I have read infinity ward did alot of tricks with the memory right...so using them as the poster child for making great games on the ps3 fails because while those may be the minority, there are a majority of games on ps3 with problems.

icechai6015d ago

@1.6 there are ways to patch, just think of it like a modified autoexec.cfg for any of Valve's PC games. You just need to tell the game to be more optimized for your type of system, and possibly increase the multi-core usage or the hard drive usage.

Irving6015d ago (Edited 6015d ago )

@1.6, lol so you are saying framerate problems are due to lack of memory on PS3? CoD4 and Uncharted would like to visit you this weekend then ;)

Skerj6015d ago (Edited 6015d ago )

@Hugh

Yeah well I own both and I've completed it very much so on the 360 (profile shows gamertag with 815 AC points) and I can tell you firsthand that they're both JUST AS BUGGY. Anyone who says one system's bugs are greater than the other is uninformed. It's not the PS3 or 360s fault, it's Ubi's for rushing through the QA process.

gamesR4fun6015d ago (Edited 6015d ago )

Its true tho because the ps3 has a hd standard and games are made to be installed on it (just like a pc) it can get patched...
Has for this being a ps3 only issue LOL look I own both machines played it on both and the 360 version is glitchier imo
On the ps3 its frozen about 4 times in about 20/h of gameplay my dad wont play his 360 version cause it freezes and glitches too much. Got the game off him put it in my 360 and lo and behold not only is it more prone to freezing but Im seeing more clipping frame drops and the AI's getting stuck on ladders etc etc...
So ya whatever you fanboys say is BS you cant have a real look at the games and be impartial about the facts cause you got a 360 fever. Just like when I was saying ME had some major issues fanbots were all like no it aint so well try youtube now that its out... Just like i said major Frame rate issues insane loads and crashes.... (tho it never really crashed on me just slowed down so bad I had to reboot)
Stupid thing is that I dont hate teh 360 I bought it because it has some great games. Just suffers from too many blind fanboys who should be more concerned with the quality of their games than defending a piece of hardware at Ng4... Fact is if we has consumers accept this kind of half finished crap soon well be right out of playable games...

Mofos didn't test the game before they release ?

DolphGB6015d ago

Whilst you wait for the patch, signing out of the PSN before playing seems to provide stability. Have played for hours when signed out with no issues...

Swatfish6015d ago

bad work from Jades team on ps3 version but a patch sounds fair

zerolinkgannon6015d ago (Edited 6015d ago )

Im still wondering how this game got its 10 of out 10's with so many problems..

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

isarai215d ago

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske214d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid214d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot214d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno214d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot214d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface214d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot214d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69214d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake225d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga225d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx225d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga225d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9225d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler225d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666225d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52225d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott224d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara214d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52225d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner225d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52224d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster225d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot225d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster224d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned225d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9225d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1225d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster224d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
