Assassin’s Creed III Remastered: The Boston Bait-and-Switch

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2020
- With the premiere of the Assassin's Creed Valhalla trailer, we coincidentally have an Assassin's Creed game to review this week! Exploring historical locations and taking down important figures is a staple of these games, and in Assassin's Creed III Remastered we load up in the animus to go to the Revolutionary War. But before we get to meet our colonial characters, AC3 has one of the craziest openings of all the modern plot points of the Assassin Creed games. Once in the past we can find naval battles, the young America ready to split, and our trusty tomahawk to help solve all our problems.

I remember playing this when it came out and getting so bored at the beginning with young Conner, that I wandered into a British fort and killed everyone in it for fun.
Feels like that's not something I should have been able to do, but it was the highlight of my play-through!
I completed a fort too with young conner. I felt really satisfying killing all of those man with a 12 year old boy
It's 2020 and people still can't write or pronounce Connor's name.

Funny how playing as young Ezio was really fun. Actually, all his ages were fun but particularly the young and middle aged Ezio were my favorite.
Then you have young Connor who never ceases to be boring and uninteresting.
I honestly love this game and think it’s pretty underrated.
Big facts
It’s the last game that’s actually about assassins lol.
@@devineaaron unity?
I agree
Me too, except for the Desmond bits I had a blast playing it
At THIS rate, Assassin’s Creed will end up taking place during the Big Bang
Ahh yes the templar hydrogen and the assassin helium
I'm listening
Assassin's Creed: Andromeda
Well they already did that lore wise
AC48 cavemen
Drinking game: Anytime anyone in AC3 says the name “Charles Lee” take a shot.
Im drunk
Why did you kill my brother?
Do you want us to die?
Darksouls YOU DIED appears on ur screen 3 minutes in
The game made me hate him more than I should
I wonder if anyone else remembers the rumors of Assassin's Creed 3 being a real conclusion to Desmond's story by playing as him and taking place in the then present day. I was and still am honestly looking forward to an actual present day Assassin's Creed game. Not just small modern segments.
Well in some way it was a conclusion of Desmond story
@@rumotu that is true, I just think the other idea would have been cooler. It always seemed like they were building Desmond up to be a main character on his own game, but he just ended up being basically a side character.
honestly, that would have been a lot better than just killing him off in a single cutscene only to be mentioned once in Bllack Flag & then drop the entire Abstergo storyline forever
3 just a bad game... they make it more story base not a game... and just market for American with all revolution war shit.... but it is first assassin game that i bother finish...
Assassin's Creed as it became now, was only Desmond's Saga, so when Desmond heroicaly sacrifised himself to save Earth, then AC ended with him...
"I'm holding these truths to be self-evident", I see what you did there Jirard.
Hey, he got further than Joe Biden 🤷🏻♂️
@@Avenger-mc9kl wrong
While I know it's far from perfect, I love AC3. It reminds me of christmas 2012 when I had a nice week alone, doing nothing but playing this game. Such a chill time.
And as someone who is not from the US, not knowing its detailed history, the game made me read a lot on Wikipedia. The subversions didn't affect me, but it did help me appreciate history more.
Yep. It reminds me of my breaking my leg horrendously and needing a plate screwed into it.
That´s actually almost the same memory that I have from this game and every time I think about AC3 I get reminded of those chill days while running through the woods and hunting stuff. I loved that you could change between the seasons once the game was finished.
I entertained myself for hours just walking around Boston. I was geeking out hard becauseI'm Massachusetts born and raised so this was like the Twilight Zone.
I was even comparing it to a map of modern day Boston and, they got everything right.
That's dope
Jirard: "This game came out almost 10 years ago"
Me: "...Wait what!?"
God damn I feel old.
Same here. 3 was my first AC game, and it was also the first game I ever remember being hyped for in the months preceding it's release. I'm 22 now, and it's been a long rollercoaster road of ups and downs with this franchise.
Technically 7 1/2, it came out October 2012
@@CharlieZColt They had a special deal at Best Buy on Black Friday that year and I waited patiently in line to snag a copy for half price.
Emanouche nice! I remember I pre ordered it months in advance from GameStop 😂 now a days I wouldn’t even step foot in that Devil’s Den
You make lots of valid points. Personally, I enjoyed the gradual setup of Connor (which would have been even more compelling if the head continued into his own trilogy of games) and the way they introduce your future targets as allies of Haytham before the reveal that he is a templar and the main villain. Haytham was actually a very compelling character and the sections where Connor and him interacted were a blast story-wise. I also appreciate that they tried something very different with this game and didn't just copy the Ezio trilogy. However, it's basically the Assassin's Creed 1 to Black Flag's Assassin's Creed II, meaning, it feels more like a partially failed, partially successful experiment than a really great game. Plus, at the time it clearly seemed to emulate RDR in some aspects, like the hunting mechanics, the wilderness and so on, but mission structure felt very restrictive even back in 2012 and there was no equivalent to random events in RDR1 and later GTAV, which made the world feel more alive.
I did enjoy the more personal and story driven approach to the Homestead missions and Assassin brotherhood building missions, though, instead of just funneling some money to build your settlement, you could through story missions actually learn about the people who live there and see the Homestead evolve from untamed barren wilderness to flourishing settlement.
One of my favorite games ever, absolutely love this game.
Same
I enjoyed playing AC3, hated the ending though 😂
So agree. It had it flaws but I think its a decent game in its own rights.
At least the ending of AC3 gives us a sense of finality. At least Desmond's story is over and they did not ruin it with their post AC3 bullshit. AC4 was amazing and AC Unity was beutiful but half made, however the Modern Day story did not go anywhere
Paul Mayson modern day hasn’t really gone anywhere since Ac3 sadly
@@brianrodriguez8146
Yeah, it is very sad. At least while AC4 did not have proper Modern Day, there was AC Initiates which continued it, but that was ruined by AC Unity and Syndicate
@@paulmayson3129 Originally the writer wanted to end the story with 3 but you know ac makes them good money so they wrote themselves into a corner basically
I'm one of the odd ones who loved this game.
It has some definite issues. Mostly with mission design and story IMO. I think they underutilized the revolutionary war setting honestly. At least during the campaign.
They kind of just show the beginning of the war and then skip to the end.
But the setting, I loved it. I loved the free roaming frontier. The huge meta hunting and trading system. The naval battles. The season changes.
I loved hunting squads of redcoats in the woods from the trees.
I loved the homestead story missions.
I loved getting into wild foot chases with soldiers in the cities.
And I loved the brutal feel of the combat.
For me, these outweighed the sloppier missions and somewhat lackluster story and main character.
The huge problem with the remaster for me was that after the story there were no more redcoats in new york it got boring with the bluecoats
@@Niater8106 yeah I liked ambushing the British better than the colonial army lol
The redcoats marching around and stationed everywhere gave you that feeling of an oppressive occupation and made you feel like a guerrilla fighter always taking them out and scurrying away
The first playthrough i didnt like it but the second it basically became my favourite.
@@muchamore321 it's one of my favorites. My second playthrough though I definitely felt impatient to get to the point where the game opens up proper lol
@@Niater8106
Did you know that if you go to Fort Duquesne in the northwest of the Frontier while playing as Haytham Kenway, you will not find Redcoats but French soldiers? They are a nice change compared to the English.
*"The Way Matt Damon's Ancestors Keep Interrupting Me At Every Single Turn. No, I Don't Like Them Apples!"*
Me: Dead! 😂💀
I honestly enjoyed this game a lot and I even sympathised more with Connor than with Ezio; introverts stick together I guess. But seriously, as someone who is not from America I had little to no historical knowledge about the USA and its history. But AC3 presented it in a clever, fun, interesting, and sometimes emotional way.
If you think about it, we had spent 5 years under the simple assumption that Assassins = good, Templars = evil, but AC3 introduced nuance to the franchise by allowing us to play as Haytham and then Connor, and then their unfolding relationship as well as Connor's fruitless political alliances made it all seem so raw and hopeless. Even though Connor strived to come to terms with the Templars (Haytham), he unknowingly failed and resorted to murder them. And as he tried to stay true to the Assassins' ethics, he allowed the native peoples to be used and betrayed. Perhaps if he had been more willing to deal with the Templars the natives might have had a slightly different end than they did with Washington.
Well this is going to bore people to death, sorry for the rant.
I'm not bored , I appreciate ur view
Great commentary.
As someone who gets into the roleplay of the characters in games, Washington's betrayal of the Connor's nation made me feel it right to drop the Assassin's uniforms and go back to buckskins. Adherence to ideologies of colonists led to the loss of their home and that couldn't be reconciled.
Very interesting my view same as yours
Agreed
I absolutely loved this game. Still do. I loved the fighting in this game. All those multikill opportunities were great. Loved using the tomahawk
I might be one of the only people who actually likes Desmond and misses his presence in the narrative. I miss his conversations with Shaun and Rebecca, and honestly he gave the Templar plot focus. Since his departure we get all the past action without any real reference to how the present is being affected. Anybody remember the Juno build up and then we never heard from her again? If you don’t read the extended lore you’d never know how that ended. I wish they would put more effort back into the modern day storyline, hopefully they do that with Layla moving forward.
Yup. I totally agree. I really enjoyed his parts of the story.
I 100% agree.
I played this game on xbox 360 like three years ago and actually really liked it. I like the history of the revolutionary war and I thought interacting with this world was so interesting.
Same but mine was on PS3
17:24
Earning full synchronization in every mission was a breeze overall
*Sequence 7 mission 3 exist*
(Insert Star Wars prequel meme)
Anikin: LIAR!
I was confused so I looked it up... OH MY GOD THIS FUCKING MISSION! I actually cried and yelled at my sister because she wanted to watch TV while I was trying to 100% it.
And also, let's not forget, the side-quests were buggy as hell when it came out, some characters or items just wouldn't show up, or the game itself would refuse to acknowledge the progress of that side-quest, smh
I don’t remember this but I have ac3 here on my ps4 I’ll replay and understand what you mean
Just 100%'d the game a few days ago myself. I flared up a bit when he said that. there's a couple of missions I can think of that gave me trouble, like the naval mission where you have to sink them by shooting their powder keg stores. I unknowingly upgraded my ships ram too early and the whole thing was a crap shoot.
Completing AC3 Full Synch just for Altair's outfit is one of the most PTSD moments I've ever had in my life XD
If I'm completely honest, there are only 2 things I like from ACIII: The tomahawk, and Haytham Kenway.
Haytham is my favourite character of the series as a whole
Jacob Booker Haytham is my favorite Templar of the series, of course why not, he is charismatic as hell.
Apart from Ezio by default, my personal favorite Assassin is Bayek.
I also liked the ability to climb trees. But yeah. Just those 3
I remember picking fights with redcoats simply because the tomahawk was so much fun to use.
I'm a fan of Connors outfit i count that as something cool
I mean, I loved AC 3 personally. It was when the combat finally became fun.
yeah why you got a handgun and just use one buttom to kill every one
Doing sword combos, and then to turn around and blast someone with a gun was so satisfying. It was what got me through the first section of it back then, otherwise I would’ve dropped off earlier.
*like every other game
I mean I love ac3 too, it’s what started assassins creed for me, but the combat is too easy in ac3 and ac4, in games like ac revelations they have there similarities but at least there’s more buttons than B or circle to then just kill someone, trust me in older games it’s still pretty easy but the combat doesn’t bore me like those two games can cause it’s not constantly a cake walk.
@@campkira not how it works. Play the game.
Great job Man. This was my first open-world game, and I finished it on the WiiU! Even if it isn’t the best in the series, it still holds a special place in my heart.
Do Liberation!
Amazing in depth review answering so many questions I had. Thank you for all the time and effort putting together this video. I loved ac3 and cannot wait to start the next game.
Great video Jirard. I definitely look forward to you tackling the rest of the franchise! This is making me wanna go back and replay the older titles just for the the fun of it.
Ohh, I remember completing this game... That one naval mission where you have to kill all 3 enemy ships using its weakspot, aswell as that BS *"An Extraordinary Man"* trophy... Pure fcking luck, I'll tell you that much.
But, in the end, despite it's flaws, really, really liked it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit, one Trophy I forgot was the *"Original Gamer"* trophy. I learned to hate Archilles for this BS
Oh yes, the "Encyclopedia of the Extraordinary Man'' was one of the most mundane and boring tast Achilles ever gave to Connor. I always saw this as a prank of his part, as if he expected him to be a historian or something!
OMG, That ship mission was 💀 took waaaaay too long to get those weakpoints.
"Powder keg about to explode"?
"World turned upside-down"?
Nice Hamilton references Jirard, much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this review my brother J. You've been coming thru with really good and nostalgic game reviews lately. The Golden Eye review brought back so many good memories. Thanks again man much love bro you're videos really help me out man, so hang in there brother I know how it is, but your strong and will come out on top keep it up! We're all behind you! Oh could you do San Andreas at some point? You literally have so much there to make content out of it's ridiculous.
I loved the fact you play as Haytham first, it makes the story feel like a big saga rather than an isolated adventure, and takes advantage of the genealogy aspect of the narrative with the animus
I would love to see you complete Liberation! Always a game I was intrigued by, but never had a vita. Plus, being a handheld game means it should be relatively short, I hope!
It comes bundled with ac3 remastered
Dude you can get it for free by buying the remastered or buying it separately on any play store
One of my favorite AC spinoffs but man it gets boring at some points.
About a year after it was released it was also on console as digital
Yeah, it is small and short compared to the other full-sized titles. You could 100% it in, like, 15-20 hours. But I personally really like it because of the setting (French New Orleans) and for having one of the best Assassin protagonists in the series.
This was my first AC, and I truly loved all the story and gameplay
I still love this game, my favorite assassins robes is Connor's and your intro is still fantastic, well done!!!
That's a fair review. I never finished this game despite coming back to it multiple times because of how much I enjoyed the setting. You managed to explain very well what works and what doesn't in an exhaustive yet concise video. Good job on the writing, I had a couple good laughs. I don't really care about the AC games that came out after that, but I will probably watch anyway if you make a video about them, if only to determine if I'm missing out on something.
I really miss how you could climb a lot of the trees in AC3 compared to the later games.
Also that dart rope tool to either hang people on trees or to pull them towards a bush you were hiding before assassinating them was fun I miss that tool.
The soundtrack to this game is 10/10 soooo fucking good!
No
@@valtontony826 yes
Chills whenever it swelled up in the beginning
Man it feels like christmas to me again. Pokemon snap. . AC3. . You are revisiting all of my favorites. Love it!!!!!
Well done on your save not bugging out from that UFO side quest, preventing you from that platinum. -_- great video Jirard!
jesus the first 30 seconds and i swear its like shakespeare this man has become a very good writer
I recently played this too. In fact I finished it around the same time as this upload. Weird.
Never has a game had so much potential but fallen short in my eyes. Flawed, but worth a playthrough.
I'm still waving. Great vid as always, Jirard.
I know jirard has been stressing over TH-cam and stuff like that and having these doubts about his videos... but his videos are like one of the only highlights of my Saturday’s. I look forward to these videos every Saturday no matter what the video is on. He just makes the best videos. I watch the Wednesday videos also but these Saturday videos hit different
"Dont turn your back on the wolfpack. You might end up in a body bag"
HEY YO
Jirard, have you considered Twitch streaming your completion of the games? It could be an extra source of revenue in light of the youtube greedy clutches and it could give insight to your fans as to how the process of these videos are done and make them feel like they were a part of it, giving you another connection to your viewers! IMO i would really enjoy to tune into your playthroughs
I liked bits of this one, plus it lays some groundwork for its prequel in the fourth game which is one of my favorites in the series
Love your videos man. Keep up the great work!
I'm playing through this game for the first time on the Wii U right now. I'm loving it so far!
I played through the game on Wii U back in the day when it was released The game supports 3D Mode, even when playing on the gamepad. I actually tried that and loved it back then. All in all I liked the game and loved the Story the more it progressed. The tie in chapter with AC Liberation was also great
Another Wii U trooper! I recently finished it myself, and on that same system, too. I had my fair share of fun with it, but it feels a little clunky in some aspects. I just never felt in control while running, let alone while free running. I always wondered if this was somehow a Wii U-exclusive control issue or all versions are like that...
@@migaDbr I can tell you that the controls got more responsive in later series entries. I know the feeling. Feels kinda unresponsive at times and the character does what he wants sometimes
That's where I played it first. Viva la Wii U!!!!
@@migaDbr As someone who is uploading their first full playthrough using the PS4 version, I can safely say that no, it's not a Wii U only issue.
Then again, I'm also disabled which affects my fine motor skills (even typing this has been difficult), so you know. YMMV and all that.
This is the last ac game I played. Although I loved the rope darts/knives
Play black flag, it’s basically a better version of AC III
@@therock238360 yes definitely play black flag it's really fun
Assassin's Creed III was the first game I ever finished. Good memories. Then I went back and played it again with some friends last year and ... woof. The first half is Haytham gathering a crew and then the second half is Connor killing them. As a result, the whole game just feels like you're undoing what you had just done. I'll stick with Black Flag for my AC fix. Great video!
Love your reviews man
" Boston-Bait and switch " ? Yum, sounds like a sandwich
So happy you did assassins creed 3 it’s my favorite one and I’ve been waiting for you to complete this one
3 was where I dropped AC back in the day, but ended up getting back into it with Origins.
I am beyond pumped for Valhalla!
As a Big AC fan and finished every title , recently finished Odyssey. I decided to go back to AC3 remastered and man it was so worth going back to. Honestly had great nostalgia from The story n gameplay and the cities etc. Loved the revolution times just like Unity for example. I loved the fact in remastered version you can wear Shays outfit looked sick on connor.
As an Assassins Creed fan I bought this day one and enjoyed it. I loved playing as this Native American brute!
Nice! Do you like the new ones?
Sos N I like origins(mostly because I’ve always wanted Egypt setting) a little. I don’t like odyssey and refuse to play that junk. Valhalla looks badass and if they improved it a little more than odyssey then I’ll buy it. I really miss they way they use to be and not rpg.
It really bothers me for some reason that after Black Flag they stopped numbering the games, and this is from someone who's only played the first one
i always heard about this but never in such detail and with such enthusiasm so thanks
Hey Jirard! I really enjoy your all of your content. As a Nintendo guy who hasn’t branched out much I’ve never played an AC game, so AC3 remastered is my first dive into the franchise. I’m also working on Liberation and I would be very interested in your review of that game as I am finding it to be a much different type of experience. Thanks for everything y’all do!
I love assassins creed 3 probably an unpopular option but hey what up
Not unpopular at all. AC3 was the best sellin AC game ever, while AC4 had almost similar selling results. Do you know how the ''revolutionary'' and ''loved by everyone'' Odyssey did? It only sold just half of what AC3 did, and merely what AC3 had done in it's first months of release!!!
I love AC3 too, but I have an unpopular opinion about it. I didn't like the naval battles very much. That's why I wasn't very interested in AC4. They took the part of AC3 I liked the least and made it into the whole game.
@@edvance1030
I did not dislike them as much, it was something new in the game. But it did detract from the story, and was a rather not very Assassin part of it.
Its awesome
Easily my favorite ac game including black flag. It just felt nice to play during a time in history that I knew alot about.
Big fan of AC3. That said, AC3s kills take a bit too long imo.
Have you ever set up the rope as the secondary weapon for the kill animation? It's priceless.
@@acmiguens it's been since original release, so my memory is very hazy!
@@DestinyTrioInc I found out about it by accent. It's a fun feature they should bring back. Valhalla could have cool kill animations with the shield :)
@@acmiguens accident
I'm very excited to see you do AC 4
Finally got round to this remaster loved it I couldn't get into the original 3 for some reason but second time I enjoyed it
17:12 that's gotta be a typo. they probably meant "one's own" and not "own's own"
Everything after Unity didn’t feel like a Assassins Creed game including the new upcoming Valhalla.
Series is basically dead if you ask me.
Assassins Creed really ended with AC3, it is the only way to have some closure.
@@paulmayson3129 Yeah. I loved Black Flag and Rogue but they weren't AC games.
@@Lucas02000
Personally I consider them as half made AC games, as they lack the half that was the Modern Day. And AC4's ancestral story was a fine AC story, as it showed how a person outside of the Assassin-Templar war was entangled in it and eventually became a follower of the Creed. However AC Rogue was very rushed and poorly written, the game was made out of the remaining unused featured of AC3 (River Valley, North Atlantic and New York) and AC4's gameplay! It should have been released in 2015 or in 2016 with AC Unity (and not in 2014) with a deeper story and understanding of the Templar Ideology.
Origins was a good AC game. Great story, characters, and improved combat.
Plus, it gives essential information in the founding of the precursors of the Assassin Brotherhood. The missing ring finger, the leap of faith, the Creed, etc.
First Assassin’s Creed game for me! Awesome job Jirard!
I know that we never talk about the multiplayer for assassins creed, but this was one of the things that I enjoyed the most for the game and I forgot how many additional hours I put in just so I could play more
Honestly, the main starting dude was interesting and likeable. They should have stuck with him because Conner was boring and easy to dislike. Once I took over Conner, I felt a lot of boredom throughout his story moments.
The way you refer to Haytham as “The main starting dude” shows you aren’t a true ac fan

#gatekeeping
God forbid I had blank moment where I couldn't remember a name.
PeugeotRocket how old are you? Because I think you were probably in high school when the game originally came out. You probably didn’t play the homestead missions. Connor has so much personality in those.
@@simoneidson21 I was 26 when the game came out. I did play the homestead missions. I actually got 100% of the achievements as well. So spent plenty of time with Connor.
He was bland and boring pretty much all around. The homestead missions did little to flesh him out. Sure, they expanded on his willingness to help out those in need which is a redeeming quality but quite frankly, just the minor side characters he interacted with were far more interesting than him.
He just has such a negative attitude throughout the game. He is always angry or pouting about something. He can be a bit of an ass at times when other characters don't warrant such treatment and his treatment of Achilles just made me want to slap him in the face. The disrespect he showed toward the man who took him in, fed him, gave him room and board, educated him, and trained him as an assassin was absolutely abysmal.
When he wasn't exhibiting the aforementioned negative character flaws, he was just boring and bland, like I said. Just do a search online and you'll find that one of the biggest criticisms levied against him is that he has no personality.
@@simoneidson21 Please ignore the lack of proper paragraphs in my last post. For some reason all the spaces were cut out and whenever I try to fix it, the changes aren't saved.
FINALLY I’VE WAITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
I have a hunch you like Assassin's Creed

Great review my friend!!
Great video!

Awesome! 🔥
I didn’t know you watch the completionist. I just watched your new videos
Computernerf Yeh he’s great. I love assassins creed too, I’m thinking of uploading the new one to my channel when it comes out
100%Gamer I would LOVE that
Computernerf I’m hoping by then I’ll be doing commentary too
I would personally love to see your take on Liberation!
Awesome episode
This episode happened on my birthday this year. Cool!
This is my favorite AC game. A look at our own history and how we came about with a sicfi twist. And theo nly AC game where no historical figure was assasinated so they had to make NPC's to kill xD
shows how dull and boring american history is if you compare it to other cultures
@@ajstan4211 so the fact we didn't have so many famous people die grisly death is boring like I enjoy action games and what not but dude that's fucked up
Commander Quisitor it’s not about killing famous figures it’s about how fucking boring America was
@@ajstan4211 maybe but consider this every country in the world save maybe the ones in south America has over 1000 years worth of history and America has about 300 so it's honestly expected that even if America was born through blood it doesn't have much of a intriguing culture especially when it tries so hard to be average but progressive technologically.
Also I'm not defending the country I'm not even from there.
Well as a Canadian I can maybe help give a non-American perspective on this game's story and intrigue.
I like history quite a lot so I absolutely love the Assassin's Creed franchise. Unfortunately the American Revolution is something I've never found interesting in the slightest so I wasn't familiar with the more in-depth aspects of it. I'm aware of the story beats that are used in this game but beyond that, the only things I was familiar with were any points where Canadians were involved in conflict with the Americans. I can't even remember if that happens more than once? It's been quite awhile since I played through this.
This was the one AssCreed I didn't have any desire to complete though because I was so incredibly sick of Conner by the end of the game that I just wanted to move on to Liberation (which I still haven't beat yet... but one day I will). I loved the concept that you're playing as a Native American essentially shadow puppeting your way through to assist in the birth of the nation, sort of as an allegory that Native Americans and other minorities were crucial to the development of the nation, while the history books would like you to think it was all just white people making the moves.
It was a game that I had a lot of interest in for various reasons, but I just never started clicking with it. To be fair though, it was heavily overshadowed by me having just 100% completed the entire Ezio trilogy right before I started playing it. My love for Ezio made Conner that much more annoying unfortunately.
I really hope you complete the whole series
Just finished AC4 not too long ago so this video came at a perfect time but waiting until the 4th of July may have been a bit more appropriate!
Desmond was always my favorite part and I'm probably one of the few who wanted to play as a Desmond who was in full out assassin mode. 3 gave a bit of that but I looked forward to a full on future with a little past.
You're not. I was honestly expecting the third game to take place wholly in the modern world with Desmond as the star.
I'm biased since I'm native so I love this game.
I am Greek, I adore AC3 and all AC games before it, yet I detest Odyssey.
Paul Mayson was it a bad Greek game or bad game?
@@Lag22987
I was not an Assassin's Creed game as it fails virtually all the criteria written by the original creators of the series in the "10 Commandments of AC". It only bears the name and that is all. This is what I cared mostly about.
However to answer your question, it may have been a solid game, but what it depicted was certainly not Classical Greece of the 5th century BC, but more of a fantastical mythohistorical westernized pop-culture RPG version of Greece, which many many flaws concerning it's history, it's culture and civilization, it's language, it's clothing styles and it's warfare combat. And of course the place did not look that much like Greece, and they made it too small if they wanted to include the whole country on one singular map, which was a bad idea. But it was better executed in Origins.
if only there was more native representation in games so you could rep a good game
What did you think about when Ratonhnhaké:ton said his birth name and game dismisses it like, “Oh nobody can say that lets call you Connor.” ?
I loved this! Coincidentally, I'm working on my own 100% completion run of AC3 while this came out. I've cleared the base game, and am now working on the Tyranny of King Washington DLC.
Honestly I never played this game but I still found the video as entertaining as ever!! Only Jirard😂
Not gonna lie I really like AC3
ME TOO 😂
The cryptid missions in AC 3 are still memorable to me.
Omg i was watching your ac series right before you released this video.
I remember having this game bundled with my ps3 and enjoying the gameplay
15:42 "Assassin's Creed 3 is probably the most action oriented game in the series to date."
>Looks at Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Ohhhhh BOIIIIIIIII
Back when I played this, I pretty much hated it. After this I might give it another chance, but I have the OG 360 version.
But this is an interesting era and they should do another Assassin´s Creed game about American civil war.
They most definitely won't do another one
sounds garbo themed locations is better than historical events like wars
You do have Assassin's Creed Rogue though.
This was the first AC game I owned and completed. The brings back the memories
Playing as Haytham in the beginning may have done on longer than it should, but it sets up one of my favorite What The?!?!? moments in gaming.
Half the video is Jirard complaining he didn't start the game as Connor.
AC3 is my favorite Assassin’s Creed game. Does anyone else agree? I feel like i’m the only one
You are not. This along with AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations are the best storytelling ang gameplay of AC. But AC ended with AC3, because Ubisoft ruined everything after AC4, making AC4 only a nice Epiloge for Desmond's Saga.
Go play Rogue. Its all the good stuff of 3 minus the bad.

And minus the philosophy as well...
AGREED AC3 IS MY FAVOURITE 😂
I love this game, I was a huge fan of the setting and the homestead.
Perfect. Liked it
i miss hello and welcome to the brand new episode of the compleniost and the camara
This game wore me down so much that i stopped trophy hunting
That's me with most modern ubisoft games tbh.
I was so sad cause I had completed all the AC games until this one. On release I was so excited too but I beat it and never played it again 😢
Same. And to this day, I haven’t gone back and completed the game trophy wise. Not a fan of having to grind multiplayer trophies.
I guess i expressed myself wrongly. This was my before last platinum trophy. After that i did AC Liberation. What a grind fest riddled bug games.
You do good work.
I played assassin creed 3 blindly for the first time just a couple years ago on the wii u i had no issues other then realizing I missed certain events during the game that would of been cool to see
Playing as Haythem was the best part of the game though. Conner's.....just kinda boring, like an 18th century Desmond.
Had to show where the boring entered his bloodline. If everyone was Altair and Ezio all the way down how could you possibly get Desmond a man so bland people cheered when he was now dead and replaced by a faceless, voiceless corporate employee.
@@Sandman382 - you forgot the part where we got to see him dissected - speaking for myself, I could watch that ANY time lol
Woah last time I was this earl-BEARS
Dont mention that. Let him die. Let him never be mentioned again
That was never funny. Only annoying.
I didn't even know they made a remaster of this game. I missed its original release but I've played the ones immediately before and after, may have to pick it up.
Just found this great video man and like your thoughts.
I’m currently half way through this, I remember playing it originally. Can’t remember have you got to complete all the frontier missions also?
Can’t seem to find a place for it.
Also man please please have you fit a video exposing the how to trade and buy the bits in the homestead. I just don’t get it!
Great video.
