Ubisoft Spokesperson Michael Beadle has commented that Ubisoft doesn't know what exactly is causing the freezing problems on Assassin's Creed for the PS3. Ubisoft is investigating the matter but noted a drop in complaints from PS3 gamers who turned off the automated loging feature of PSN.

hey Ubisoft. might want to call up Insomniac, Infinity Ward or maybe Naughty Dog for some advice. they > u

Bubble Buddy6013d ago

i know what's causing the issues = LAZINESS From Ubisoft

jiggyjay6013d ago

Yeah blame the devs for the PS3s weakness! You know what that is? Is that the PS3 is a dvd player first and a gaming machine second! So when you try to optimize a game on there issues like this happen!

rofldings6013d ago

Is that why the 360 version has the same problems PLUS saving problems?

rubarb236013d ago

always looking to blame anything but that shinny piece of monkey sh!t in your living room huh. damn you guys are funny, for ps3 owner's it's all about the waiting or blaming game.
face it girls, ps3 = sh!t

bumnut6012d ago

Power of Blu6012d ago

or every game would do this on the PS3.The freezing isn't as bad for me as it was.If I go and die real quick on intention it doesn't freeze.Though it does still freeze now and then.Where's that patch they said went live? Is it not in the US? Because I haven't got it yet but if they still don't know why its freezing then I doubt it will help anything anyway.

LOFT3166013d ago

Live in the UK and since i downloaded it there has not been a problem and i only had the occasional freezing before the patch

MrWonderful6013d ago

well i havent had any issues yet but rainbow six vegas froze up on me

hardcorehippiez6012d ago

already downloaded the patch and it now runs a lot smoother . should have been like that from the start tho. devs are gettin lazy .

marionz6013d ago

its a shame, AC is a great game and im having an awesome time with it on 360

kurochi6013d ago

until it overheats from you playing on the 360 and you get the RROD. toolboy. say something constructive, would you?

Kaze886013d ago

Gues what. I had great time with AC when i played it trough on my ps3. i had 2 freezes in 12hours, no other problems at all.

etownone6013d ago

ps fans always looking for excuses, this time blaming developers.... pathetic,

you guys should be used to the inferior version of games by now. especially now that you guys are getting orange box, one of the best games of all time, but another that suffers on the ps3.

do yourselves a favor and get a 360 already....

Power of Blu6012d ago

Lol and by the looks of your post you REALLY know pathetic!

LOL Idiot!

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.

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

Samonuske222d 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.

Becuzisaid222d 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.

-Foxtrot222d 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-inferno222d 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.

-Foxtrot222d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

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

jeromeface221d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot221d 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

CrimsonWing69222d 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.

GhostScholar233d ago (Edited 233d ago )

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

gold_drake233d ago

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

Cacabunga233d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx233d ago

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

Cacabunga233d ago

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

H9233d 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

GooGobbler233d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666233d ago

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

ravens52233d ago

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

gpimlott232d ago

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

ravens52232d ago (Edited 232d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara222d 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.

Christopher233d ago (Edited 233d 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.

ravens52233d 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.

savedsynner232d 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

ravens52232d ago

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

Nerdmaster233d 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.

-Foxtrot233d 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.

Nerdmaster232d 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.

BrainSyphoned233d ago

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

H9233d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1233d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake233d ago (Edited 233d ago )

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

Nerdmaster232d 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.
