lmao at first video: Ubisoft's Super Assassin Bros!

edit: I think the animation system deserves praise, you have two Altairs and even though they have the same input, they fight and climb like two different people

Meus Renaissance6039d ago

Lol it actually seemed fun to play against that AI

poopface16039d ago

on the last mission I all the sudden had a clone. I loved the game but the clone was totaly crazy. He did the same moves as me and woud hurt me if I got hit. I actually started to fight my clone when my assissin locked onto him. While talking to the king I found I couldent kill anything but my clone could. He stealth killed me while in the cut scene and I lost. I thought about trying to kill the king with the clone but he got stuck somewhere, and while talking to the king he walked off a cliff and I died. Finaly I loaded at the fight before talking to the king and my clone was gone. Ill miss my clone. althought that was weird I still love the game, and while that is a huge glitch, having a clone was kinda fun. I have the 360 version if you wana know. Framerate good, game good, clone killed me.

A delay is temporary but shoddy programming is forever. ..unless it gets patched. Those GTA4 and MGS4 delays are looking pretty good now huh?

Edit:

OMG I just watched the first video, WTF@two fighting Altairs. Killing himself reminded me of the time paradox in MGS3, I thought it was going to say that. This is shameful man, I can't believe that crap made it through QA.

*To developers* Take all the time you need. Well... maybe not TOO much time. :P

ShiftyLookingCow6039d ago

haha imagine if Puke Nukem Forever was released in 2001

Skerj6039d ago

I forgot to add the Duke Nukem Forever clause. That game is never coming out, that's why George Broussard always gets pissed whenever someone mentions it in a negative way. He knows the truth!! And if it does see the light of day it's gonna suck sooooo much but it's still going to sell a ton because everyone will want to see what 10 years of development time does. There's been 2 console generations during that time.

fury6039d ago (Edited 6039d ago )

The more comprehensive and the more realistic the games get in the future, the more bugs there will be, which we have to get along with.
Still, it's not right to rush the release of a game and let the gamers be the Alpha/Beta tester. The overall quality of the games has greatly improved, however the bugs need to be minimized to a mininum. Patches can't be a solution for console games in the long term. In case we need to wait a little bit longer to enjoy a game almost bug-free. Good example is GTA IV. The game will be very complex and extensive but I could imagine the release date will be pushed back further and further to prevent bugs in the final version.

ShiftyLookingCow6039d ago

Take Uncharted its at least as complex as Assassin's Creed, I haven't seen any major bugs like this. Publishers should stop rushing their games to the market.

mesh16039d ago

darth it is not 0 chance of that in assasin cread there is a living city sandbox that makes a huge difference to uncharted which is a run and gun game like gears of war dont compare then plz as ac even tho lame is of a bigger scale.

ThisIsWaiting6039d ago

Ive been playing AC quite a bit and havent seen any of those issues.

Danja6039d ago (Edited 6039d ago )

same here I haven't experienced ne probs other than repetitive missions and sometime's crappy A.I...maybe the problem is isolated..and being exaggerated as usual..!!.

This is a good game , ppl need to stop dogging it until they've played it..

EDIT: WOW a disagree for stating my opinion / experience with the game..!!

DrPirate6039d ago (Edited 6039d ago )

I'm in this group.

Just beat the game last night at 3 in the morning. 25 hour playthrough, but I got 100% of the memories, but not the additional memories. Haven't encountered a single lockup or freeze, or glitch, or bug.

I'm on the PS3 version, framerate has been clean for me, the only graphical issue was tearing on the view point pans, and turning the camera as fast as I can.

Good game I might add, very compelling story, but curiously unfun....Potential for good sequels if they improve the formula.

Edit: wow at the disagrees. I'm really sorry I loved this game....

ThisIsWaiting6039d ago

I guess people dont think I've played the game for a good amount of time? lol

friggan internet nerds ...

IrishAssa6039d ago

ye I just finished the 7th Assassination(I H8 Water) and havnt experienced any of these problems, people really do have to play it instead of reviews and videos they just don't compare to when ur playin it

Daxx6039d ago

AC does not deserve all the sh*t it's getting. It's a very fun game, but it needs a little bit more depth. If the missions had a lot more variation AC could of won GOTY.

(Before anyone disagrees with me check my XBL profile to see that I've actually played the game and that I'm not making this up)

Snukadaman6039d ago

I have not experienced any of these problems....this game doesnt deserve the amount of hate it is receiving...is really a good game that I usually dont like stealth type games but the only thing I hate about it is the modern time settings....but I guess it is a part of the story but give us a option too pass it up....

eLiNeS6039d ago

I have completed the game and now working on getting the rest of the achievements and have not seen any of these problems. I have seen a few glitches that don't bother me a ton but funny to see. I mad a video of them, take a look http://www.gametrailers.com...

poopface16039d ago

I hade no issuse at all till this morning on the last mission I had a clone. Although strange, controling the clone was fun (except when he killed me durring a cutscene). I was able to load without a clone and It was normal after that. Even though I had a clone I still love this game. the clone can kill people when you cant, so I was wondering if I could use the clone to kill the king (durring the cutscene when the clone stealth killed me/ I killed myself).. Ill try it someday. Fighting the clone is hilarious except you cant win.

erosevaporator6039d ago

The only glitch I have experienced so far is the freezing glitch. Although it looked cool both times it happened, because in the first instance I was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and stopped in midair. I could rotate the camera, and that was sweet. The second was during a leap of faith, and the same thing happened. It sucks that these exist, but it really isn't that big a deal. It has freezing. For the love of god, turn your console off, and start again. It's not like the game doesn't save when you enter a city, or sync with eagle vision....calm the hell down. It sucks, but it isn't a game killer.

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.

isarai233d 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

Samonuske233d 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.

Becuzisaid233d 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.

-Foxtrot233d 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-inferno232d 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.

-Foxtrot232d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

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

jeromeface232d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot232d 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

CrimsonWing69233d 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.

GhostScholar244d ago (Edited 244d ago )

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

gold_drake243d ago

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

Cacabunga243d 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👍🏽

Rancegamerx243d ago

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

Cacabunga243d ago

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

H9243d 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

GooGobbler244d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666243d ago

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

ravens52243d ago

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

gpimlott242d ago

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

ravens52242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara232d 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.

Christopher243d ago (Edited 243d 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.

ravens52243d 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.

savedsynner243d 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

ravens52242d ago

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

Nerdmaster243d 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.

-Foxtrot243d 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.

Nerdmaster243d 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.

BrainSyphoned243d ago

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

H9243d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1243d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

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

Nerdmaster243d 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.
