@@TbYolo Yeah, but 1) Haytham isn’t as young as he used to be, 2) he could have had injuries before getting to Connor too, and most importantly, 3) Haytham probably started to really care for Connor and didn’t really *want* to kill him, but he wasn’t about to roll over and give up either.
Finally someone else who thinks Connor is a badass. I hate seeing all these reviews with the editor hating on him for being boring/humorless or rash and angry. I see that and I think to myself "uhh hello, did you not pay attention to the story?" Last I checked his mom died right in front of him and people burned his village down. He was beat as a child by some of the game's main villians and he ends up getting betrayed at the end by the people he helped *spoiler alert for those of you who still haven't played this 2 year old game* but anyway my point is the only person he has to be grateful to is his village elder and the Achilles. Everyone else just uses him and his youth and prowess and then leaves him. Idk about any of you but if all that happened to me I think I'd be pretty humorless and angry too. Like am I making sense or am I the only one who thinks this?
Thank you someone understands what their talking about and all of you connor haters out their should look at the bigger picture(SPOILER ALERT) connor was brought up with pain and misery and his life is the worst we've ever seen in an assassin's creed game and to make it even worst he had to kill his best friend and he found his mentor (Achilles) dead on a chair cause if that happened to me I would be pretty humourless and want revenge for his mother who he saw die infront of his eyes I mean I would be pretty pissed if someone killed my mother infront of my eyes
How the heck is a made up character backstory an excuse for a lazy character characterisation? I mean, the point of fiction is to be entertaining, and this character failed to entertain such a large portion of the audience that he went damn near killing the franchise. What the writter gives as an in-world excuse isn't an excuse for bad writting. Connor reeks with wangst (whiny 'angst'/emotion) which comes off as unlikable, boring and un-immersive. There was no connection between his personality and his actions (are you really blaming this guy for having killed the people I *just saw you murder on screen*??!). And most of all he is an absolute Marty Sue, the kind of character a fanfic writter makes in an attempt fullfill his own wishes for respect, 'badassness', or encountering of cannon characters. It's also clear that they had already decided all the battles/negociation rooms he would be in far before finding reasons for him to actually be there. But maybe americans can overlook that because they think throwing tea into a pond is actually pleasant. I was a die-hard fan to the series and Connor on his own discouraged me from playing the fourth instalment. I hope they actually make an engaging character for Unity.
GregTom2 who said it was an excuse? His back story begs that personality. Lazy writing? You're the only one in this conversation who sees it that way which is very unrealistic. Yeah let me go through all he did and come out being an interesting and fun kind of guy. Not happeneing and on top of that, you already have Ezio. See the issue with people like you is that you complain about much Connor sucks for such reasons but at the same time if they were to make him any different you would still complain because you're comparing him to a completely different character. You would whine and bitch that they made him too much like Ezio. So they took Connor (kinda shitty growing up phase like Ezio) and made him go the darker route. You just need to stop finding reasons to complain. You are the problem, not the creators of the game. If that were the case then I'm more than positive they would have stopped making the games
4:46 I once experienced a similar glitch in Harry Potter 6 for the Wii. In one of the final scenes ( where Dumbledore and Snape is talking in the Astronomy Tower ) the lip- syncing was for some reason swapped, so when for example Dumbledore was speaking, Snape was the one moving his lips. I have no idea what caused this glitch, but it was pretty amusing to see.
Everyone says Connor is a bland angry character. In my opinion, Altair is pretty static too. Sure, he changes into someone who isn't an asshat, but that's just common sense he gained; and Altair never gets a bad rep. In my opinion, Connor is a great fucking badass character. The reason he's so angry is because his whole story was based on anger. (Spoiler Alert) He's angry because his mother dies horribly, then he seeks vengeance and only gains more hate towards the British and the Templars...
Both Altair and Connor (and Desmond) were whiny brats. But that's why they didn't get a second outing (well, except Desmond, but they had to keep him around for Ezio). But Connor, badass? Are you serious? Badasses are not whiners.
The kick of the series is that Assassins and Templars can be anywhere and anytime, and at the end of the day Edward is more of a pirate than an Assassin, that's been said over and over again in interviews.
I know I'm late actually commenting, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer for Assassin's Creed 4 was this video and what Jeremy said about the naval combat being another a whole other game. Thank you Jeremy! Lol
but don't get me wrong I love Ezio we was a great character. I liked Conner more because we was brave and really honorable. he fought for what he thought was right.. you can't blame him for being boring or what ever because we has a very different background then the other assassins
It also depends on how you play it. I think the makers focus more on story and presentation in cut scenes than on gameplay, the gameplay did just come in handy and fun because of playing an assassin.
One time while playing I saw Achilles' cane flying over water, just flying alone in the middle of nowhere. Another time I encountered the bug where you lose some weapons, I lost all of them, every single one.
Cain Jenkins Well he did see his mother burn alive when he was 5 years old, he also had to kill his best friend and his father......I think we can let him off the hook for not being charismatic.
Mother burned alive when he was just 5. Forced to hunt down his own father. A Mentor who keeps infuriating his goals, forced to kill his best friend. Knowing that The ones who he called Friends betrayed him in the end. Everything he worked for, and now, it's for nothing. Yup, Pissed off for No Reason.
Yeah, Connor was okay but I feel that they rushed AC3 but I've played some of AC4 and I love it. Anyway, AC3 had great graphics, good multiplayer but a rushed and a bit of a boring story. My fave is AC: Revelations.
In my opinion, Haytham was intended to be the main character; the implication being that the templars won and ended up establishing america. In all likelihood, the powers that be in the marketing department figured that since the series has long since established that the templars are the mustache twirling villains and the assassins are the good guys (even though they could both care less about ordinary people) having a game in the series based in America, while also being marketed primarily in America, probably shouldn't have the templars winning. The cutoff point of the original storyline must've been when we jumped to connor, because the first time we see Charles Lee after 10 years he's become a stereotypical templar; practically a cartoon! A total 180 from the honorable, if a little naive, noble we saw at the beginning of the game. This is the true weakness of the series. Being virtually incapable of humanizing the templars beyond greed and arrogance. The only reason I think Haytham came out as one of the best characters AC history (ha.) is simply because he was an assassin once, and only the assassins can be written as human beings. For me, the game is a 6/10. The free running mechanic is floaty and unrealistic, and Desmond's backpack has an obvious screen tear that was never fixed. While the battle system is good, and the assassin's guild mechanic and job system is much improved, the game is practically the poster child of the weakness inherent in the writers. It's a shame, since the series had so much potential...
The best things about connor is his fighting style, his outfit and weapons,how wise he is,and backstory.he might almost beat ezio in a dual...ALMKST THOUGH
I hate to break it to you but, uhm, Charles Lee never cased that village fire. If you paid attention to the end of the missions where you and Haythem teamed up (where Connor was talking to George W.) there was a scene where Haythem grabbed something from Washington and told Connor about it. It was an order of attack against his village but Haythem also mentioned how he has done the same thing in the past to the village. Washington attacked the village. Lee only wanted them to go modern.
Theres a lot of Connor love (and Connor hate) in here, but not much about the templars. Is it just me or does AC3 have the best templars in the series? I could not name more than two or maybe three of the Templars in any other game. The ones in this game just seemed really vibrant and well written (except Hickey, he's stupid.) I was happy to see William Johnson appear in Rogue, and obviously Haytham is king.
I agree man. I really became attached to the main Templars( Hickey, Church, Pitcam, Johnson, especially Haytham, and actually a little of Charles Lee)- the main naval Templar I didn't really get to know very well.- but anyway yea I became really attached to them. Because for the fist 3 or so hours of the game you down gathering them up. And yes you are write they are really lively, their scripts are so well written. Idk about everyone else but playing as Haytham really made me question if the Templars are so immoral and evil as we think. After all Haytham and his group freed the native Americans and Connors mother. Which seems backward toward the Templars ideology of structure and order- most Europeans saw the North American natives as barbarians and savages, and seeing how the Templars in this franchise strive for order and conformity it just seemed odd that they would do that, but in a good way. My point is that thee Templars in AC3 were pretty more humanize and enjoyable than any others I. Previous games. I can't say for black flag, rouge and unity because I havnt played those
cooldude101ish i never really got attached to any templar personally. and kinda lost interest in rogue because it being just a re skin of 4 that did things better then rogue and i had little to no interest in playing the templar side of things. i also over all perfer the ezio trilogy because it has a more hero-villian dynamic.
Assassins Creed is the only video game franchise I play. I don't play Mass Effect, Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy or anything much. I do have Call of Duty MW3, Ghosts and Advanced Warfare but I'm not getting any other Call of Duty games because they're all the same the thing. Assassins Creed though is the stuff.
Jeremy's positives for AC3, new setting, naval missions, Heathan Kenway. Now AC4's anounced with a pirate theme, more naval missions and Heathan's farther.
I didn't like the Connor character that much, he didn't grow on me for some reason (Too stiff and boring?), and the game overall wasn't as interesting as with Ezio and his story. I also didn't enjoy the controls, especially the free running. Miss the free-running button a lot (running with L2 + X) which unfortunately didn't returned in AC4, so I must be one of the few who actually enjoyed that combination of buttons? Anyway We could have lived without AC3 and waited for AC4 (to be AC3,) instead since the character is much more interesting and the gameplay a lot more fun with some traditional systems returned to make the game playable! My opinion anyway!
Favorite ac game is 2, without a doubt. The story is amazing and the progress thst was made between ac 1 and 2 is the biggest in the series. I loved ezio, I loved the setting, the background story with desmond, ezios quest for revenge was intriguing plus I love exploring tombs. Im so mad that they took out tombs out of the series, sone of tge best parts of ac 2 and ac b(my second favorite ac game). I beat every ac game at leat twice, but ac r I beat 4 times, ac b was 6 and ac 2 I beat 8 times.
I think the optional objectives are also contributing to the change. Sure, they may be labeled optional, but when completing them is required for 100% completion of the game, that kinda defeats the name.
In AVR and ACB when you messed up a counter in the game your sword would wiggle and you would mess up the counter move. Also I never said that ACB or ACR were hard but more difficult than AC3 and an actual chalenge since in AC3 I can actually close my eyes and kill 20 soldiers at a time.
Considering how limited he was by the backdrop of the American Revolution, the culmination of internal struggles and the external forces which he came to realize he has no control over, Connor goes through a complete character arc. What’s more, at the end of his character arc, the world changing realization that he has to come to terms with is that not everyone can be trusted just because they've helped in the past.Why don't you pay attention instead of looking at facial expressions
I was actually predictin a Pirate setting. What about the main character that accesses Desmond's DNA? Just a fan theory: since you are playing as you and not as Desmond, and given the setting, is it possible for the modern segment of the next games to be first person?
brotherhood my fav. most people look over this but in ac brotherhood the detection meter was the best. when I play ac like to be able to run along roof tops without making it were you cant walk on the streets without having 10 billion guards trying to kill you.
Tbh, Ezio did carry on him alot more heavier armour, but he was able to climb.. buildings. I kinda condradicted myself there, but there was really no need for Ezio to climb trees.. because he was always in places where.. climbing trees weren't really a need.
I know that it's a fairly old game by now, but can you review Black Flag? It basically did all the improvements you suggested here. Or maybe Rogue, since it features Haytham and improves everything that Black Flag didn't get 100%.
The problem I found with the stealth was that there was no reason for it. For example, in Arkham City you had to use stealth on armed foes or you'd die almost instantly. It also felt very rewarding as you saw the enemies become more and more terrified of you. In AC3 however, I saw no reason to be stealthy unless the game said "You can't be seen or you'll lose". Why use stealth when it gives zero reward and you can just go rambo and win any fight once you've learned how to counter each enemy.
But I never said that ACB or ACR were hard, but AC3 a blind person can play the combat parts considering you can close you eyes and mash the counter button.
My only gripe is that there were waayyy too many glitches in this game and I was hoping to interact with more historical figures like we did in AC 2, leo da vinci
My favourite is ac3 because it is good 4 the newcomers 2 AC but it is mostly Connor could kick Altair and Ezio ass and he is pretty bad ass he is also my favourite assassin
You should try out Assassin's Creed 3 again Jeremy, they fixed a LOT of the bugs. They had 3 main bug fixing updates. Day 1, Thanksgiving Day, and Holiday Season. They had another but I'm not sure when that was. Regardless it is a LOT better experience now.
Actually, Connor wasn't as well developed and relatable as Ezio, that's what angered most people. The way the writers introduced him was pathetic. If I had to pick between the 3 I'd pick Ezio (AC2) because he was the most relatable, but I'm one who'd definitely say Connor was the most badass of the three.
i love Connor (best assassin yet), love the FUCKING AWESOME gameplay, and i love the hunting i know you side that you want to hunt for a while and stop, i was hunting for a hour, i love it
''Haytham Kenway is one of the greatest characters I ever played as,'' JEREMY YOU UNDERSTAND IT!
Connor is waayyyy better than Haytham he beat Haytham in a fight when he was injured from a cannonball being shot near him
Tim Brinkhof agree. Also Evi Fril
@@TbYolo Yeah, but 1) Haytham isn’t as young as he used to be, 2) he could have had injuries before getting to Connor too, and most importantly, 3) Haytham probably started to really care for Connor and didn’t really *want* to kill him, but he wasn’t about to roll over and give up either.
@@TbYolo So? Just because he beats him in a fight doesn’t make Connor any more tolerable.
He let him win
If the pirate's life is officially for you.......Why haven't you reviewed AC4 Black Flag??
Ace Amateur 3 years later and still no review
5 years and still
Maybe because he choose not to play it.........?
Ac4 is trash tho
@@aristonaragao3171 The AC fanbase would disagree with you vehemently.

Honestly the relation between Connor and Charles Lee was a bit emotional to me through out the game.

2:40 Ubisoft saw that and made AC4. ALL HAIL JEREMY THE BRINGER OF AC4
Yet he still hasn't reviewed it.
At least Jeremy got his naval expansion pack.
And he didn't review it. I still don't get why.
He never played Black Flag, I heard
Jeremy review Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag and Assassins Creed Unity.
And now, Assassin's Creed 4. Pirates. They listened
STILL WAITING FOR THAT BLACK FLAG REVIEW.
I know righr, he even said he loved the naval and made you feel like a pirate so i really want to hear him loving AC 4
its by far the best game to come out of the asscred franchise.
Ac 2 had the best impact on me, but AC 4 is just brillliant.
My favorite is still AC1.
Alexandre Boucher
but did it have pirates?
If Connor was running at me, I'd shit my pants
My favorite is AC3. I absolutely hate the ending, but it's the revolutionary war. My favorite game setting to this day. I love all 9 but 3s my fav
Who else scrolls down the comment section while watching these I do
at last a reviewer agrees that conor is a bad ass character
4:46 I once experienced a similar glitch in Harry Potter 6 for the Wii. In one of the final scenes ( where Dumbledore and Snape is talking in the Astronomy Tower ) the lip- syncing was for some reason swapped, so when for example Dumbledore was speaking, Snape was the one moving his lips. I have no idea what caused this glitch, but it was pretty amusing to see.
AC2 will always be the best AC IMO
Absolutely true brother
I enjoyed Brotherhood more overall. But AC2 definitly has the best story which kinda rules everything else
+Nicolai i enjoyed ACB more then AC2,but AC2 did have a better story,but ACRogue has the better story
Alex Del Socorro Brotherhood*

The reason he's so angry is because his whole story was based on anger.

I love how a lot of the things that he wished from AC3 just became AC4.
When you're gonna do a review about AC Black Flag? You said I want more naval combat, You've got it! :)
The kick of the series is that Assassins and Templars can be anywhere and anytime, and at the end of the day Edward is more of a pirate than an Assassin, that's been said over and over again in interviews.
Still waiting on that AC BlackFlag review. 🏴☠️
I actually liked connor....

assassins creed unity review
well he has to do a black flag video first
Assassin's creed 3 was the last and final assassins creed game there is no game after worth reviewing
i'm still waiting for him to review all the A.C. games
sucked,play Ezio.
118chubba assassins creed 4 is much better then 3 lol and so is unity
Please review Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag :D
but don't get me wrong I love Ezio we was a great character. I liked Conner more because we was brave and really honorable. he fought for what he thought was right.. you can't blame him for being boring or what ever because we has a very different background then the other assassins
same here, hetham is badass and my favorite playable character in ac so far, ezio vs hetham? ill go with hetham
haytham*
sorry sorry my bad hehe
ezio
It has bugs because you are playing an video game where in you control a person who is playing a video game.
But yeah, it did have some serious bugs.
It also depends on how you play it. I think the makers focus more on story and presentation in cut scenes than on gameplay, the gameplay did just come in handy and fun because of playing an assassin.
Seriously, when are you going to get around to reviewing AC4?
He's not doing it.
REVIEW ASSASSIN'S CREED 4 AT ONE POINT!
my favorite was Brotherhood, I loved being able to recruit assassins.
Can't wait the review of AC 4
Best is Assassin's Creed II but I have to say IV is the best since Brotherhood...
AC IV Black Flag blew me away, so far it is my favorite. Being a pirate is way cooler than being an Assassin. I think a spin off would be dope!
One time while playing I saw Achilles' cane flying over water, just flying alone in the middle of nowhere. Another time I encountered the bug where you lose some weapons, I lost all of them, every single one.
Black Flag review please.
If you bay the hidden secrets pack, you will get more naval missions and a cool sword try that if you still wants more naval missions.
I totally agree with your comments on Haytham! He is my FAVORITE character in AC3.
Connor is a cardboard box, with a badass pair of shades and cool hair
Cain Jenkins what? because he didn't have the same personality as Ezio? because he didn't have 3 games dedicated to him? yeah...no
No he just seems emotion free , still loved him as a character tho
Cain Jenkins Well he did see his mother burn alive when he was 5 years old, he also had to kill his best friend and his father......I think we can let him off the hook for not being charismatic.
Emerald Alien Yeah, I do like Ezio more, but had no problem with Connor and can even see why some people might like him *more.*
As a MGS fan, I need to ask... What's the problem with a cardboard box? ;)
Mother burned alive when he was just 5. Forced to hunt down his own father. A Mentor who keeps infuriating his goals, forced to kill his best friend. Knowing that The ones who he called Friends betrayed him in the end. Everything he worked for, and now, it's for nothing. Yup, Pissed off for No Reason.
Yeah, Connor was okay but I feel that they rushed AC3 but I've played some of AC4 and I love it. Anyway, AC3 had great graphics, good multiplayer but a rushed and a bit of a boring story. My fave is AC: Revelations.
In my opinion, Haytham was intended to be the main character; the implication being that the templars won and ended up establishing america.
In all likelihood, the powers that be in the marketing department figured that since the series has long since established that the templars are the mustache twirling villains and the assassins are the good guys (even though they could both care less about ordinary people) having a game in the series based in America, while also being marketed primarily in America, probably shouldn't have the templars winning.

The only reason I think Haytham came out as one of the best characters AC history (ha.) is simply because he was an assassin once, and only the assassins can be written as human beings.
For me, the game is a 6/10. The free running mechanic is floaty and unrealistic, and Desmond's backpack has an obvious screen tear that was never fixed. While the battle system is good, and the assassin's guild mechanic and job system is much improved, the game is practically the poster child of the weakness inherent in the writers.
It's a shame, since the series had so much potential...

Im so mad that they took out tombs out of the series, sone of tge best parts of ac 2 and ac b(my second favorite ac game). I beat every ac game at leat twice, but ac r I beat 4 times, ac b was 6 and ac 2 I beat 8 times.
Well, the Kenway parts felt polished, well animated and fun. His story and character were interesting too. Then the game knocked on Connor's door...
Do an assassin's creed 4 black flags review
Connor´s spanish voice is Awesome.
ASS II is the best, nonetheless
Best AC for me is Black Flag.
Best game overall. But as an AC it's shit. Not that I hate it. It's one of my favourite games of all time. But AC2 and Brotherhood are vay better AC's
So Jeremy, you have now played the ok assassins creed game. Any plan on play the legendary ones, AC2 and Brotherhood
AC3 is the worst part of the series so far.
Worst character, worst world, second worst story and don't forget the worst ending of all games ever...
no i think brotherhood was more booring....
Nanenuno brotherhood was boring as shit
But the best Score....:D
I think the optional objectives are also contributing to the change. Sure, they may be labeled optional, but when completing them is required for 100% completion of the game, that kinda defeats the name.
In AVR and ACB when you messed up a counter in the game your sword would wiggle and you would mess up the counter move. Also I never said that ACB or ACR were hard but more difficult than AC3 and an actual chalenge since in AC3 I can actually close my eyes and kill 20 soldiers at a time.
Considering how limited he was by the backdrop of the American Revolution, the culmination of internal struggles and the external forces which he came to realize he has no control over, Connor goes through a complete character arc. What’s more, at the end of his character arc, the world changing realization that he has to come to terms with is that not everyone can be trusted just because they've helped in the past.Why don't you pay attention instead of looking at facial expressions
Conner was by far my fav assassin. he wasn't a douchebag! he was a brave and honorable.
"I wouldn't mind an entire game dedicated to Haytham Kenway"
Well I guess you get you wish for
I was actually predictin a Pirate setting. What about the main character that accesses Desmond's DNA? Just a fan theory: since you are playing as you and not as Desmond, and given the setting, is it possible for the modern segment of the next games to be first person?
Assassins Creed 2. That game was so awesome and since then, no sequel has lived up to it.
Finally someone agrees that Connors actually a good character
id like to see jeremy do reviews for the other games in the series like he did with MGS
Hi Jeremy. Can we get an Assassin's Creed 4 review soon please? I still don't know if I should get it lol and your reviews are always good.
Could you do reviews on all the of the assassins creed games ??
brotherhood my fav. most people look over this but in ac brotherhood the detection meter was the best. when I play ac like to be able to run along roof tops without making it were you cant walk on the streets without having 10 billion guards trying to kill you.
Are you going to do an Assassin's Creed IV review. Its been a while
This game isn't even boring its one of my favorite games of all time and yes I liked the ending
Tbh, Ezio did carry on him alot more heavier armour, but he was able to climb.. buildings. I kinda condradicted myself there, but there was really no need for Ezio to climb trees.. because he was always in places where.. climbing trees weren't really a need.
done the ending video we Love to hear you talk Jeremy
Not a day goes by where I don't wonder if Jeremy played AC4
I saw a couple floating guns and once Achilles cane was floating as well and it was in the middle of the ocean
I know that it's a fairly old game by now, but can you review Black Flag? It basically did all the improvements you suggested here. Or maybe Rogue, since it features Haytham and improves everything that Black Flag didn't get 100%.
"I would name my ship 'soul sucking bitch' and it would be awesome" LMAO
one of the glitchs i had was that i was invisable during the cutscenes
The problem I found with the stealth was that there was no reason for it.
For example, in Arkham City you had to use stealth on armed foes or you'd die almost instantly. It also felt very rewarding as you saw the enemies become more and more terrified of you.
In AC3 however, I saw no reason to be stealthy unless the game said "You can't be seen or you'll lose". Why use stealth when it gives zero reward and you can just go rambo and win any fight once you've learned how to counter each enemy.
But I never said that ACB or ACR were hard, but AC3 a blind person can play the combat parts considering you can close you eyes and mash the counter button.
My only gripe is that there were waayyy too many glitches in this game and I was hoping to interact with more historical figures like we did in AC 2, leo da vinci
AC3 Conner is my fav assassin
My favourite is ac3 because it is good 4 the newcomers 2 AC but it is mostly Connor could kick Altair and Ezio ass and he is pretty bad ass he is also my favourite assassin
Right as he talked about bugs my screen froze but the audio worked lol
The Desmond/Ezio/Altaïr plot of Revelations was fucking fantastic.
AC3 was just a bunch of slick animations with "WHERE'S CHARLES LEE" on top of it.
It bothers me how many people hate on Connor. I thought he was a beast. I find your opinion on him more respectable than most :)
Does anyone remember when MGS and AC were friends, like in MGS4 had the Altair costume and AC Brotherhood had the Raiden Outfit....Yeah that was cool
“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.” If I grew up on that, boy oh boy.
You should try out Assassin's Creed 3 again Jeremy, they fixed a LOT of the bugs. They had 3 main bug fixing updates. Day 1, Thanksgiving Day, and Holiday Season. They had another but I'm not sure when that was. Regardless it is a LOT better experience now.
I'm still stuck as playing as the British assassin guy. I haven't gotten to play as Connor yet. But the game is still pretty fun though.
Actually, Connor wasn't as well developed and relatable as Ezio, that's what angered most people. The way the writers introduced him was pathetic. If I had to pick between the 3 I'd pick Ezio (AC2) because he was the most relatable, but I'm one who'd definitely say Connor was the most badass of the three.
i love Connor (best assassin yet), love the FUCKING AWESOME gameplay, and i love the hunting i know you side that you want to hunt for a while and stop, i was hunting for a hour, i love it
sir u just got a new suscriber , love ac 3
