Rant: Assassins Creed 3
5 min read
This is a rant on Assassin's Creed 3 and my feelings towards the game as a whole *SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY PLAYED THIS GAME OR THE PREVIOUS ASSASSIN'S CREED GAMES* You...have been warned e.e~~
Well basically..
I've now finally finished Assassin's Creed 3 and I honestly found it an extreme dissapointment compared the the other games in the Assassin's Creed series, which I admit is my favourite game series so far. Yet this game literally brought me to tears because of the frustration is caused me. I normally have very good patience which is the only main will power I had to actually complete this game, the controls were VERY buggy and caused me alot of problems during the missions I had to go through. The controls in past Assassin's Creed games were simple, yet also complicated in a way that yu pressed more than one button to counter attack, for example. In AC3 the control for counter attacking is just simply 'B', I guess many probably though this was a good thing to how simple it was but I found it more stressing when in combat as the combination of presing more than one button in the middle of fast action combat was very thrilling but you now are more slow-paced in attcking which did cause me to be attcked more often and the get hit more often since the controls sometimes didn't work when even pressed at the right time. The only time I noticed the reactions on the battle sequences was when encountering wolves or when you had to just mash the buttons in order to win. I thought that added part was quite good though as it was different and the mashing added slight thrill and exitement in a timed fight. Yet difference is not always good, like this game shows as it mixes in too many side quests which you don't really acknowlege and you are so focused on main quests and you feel slightly rushed in the game. I guess that's why I thought it shorter than the others. The quest such as collecting the floating pages, I thought this alright when first given the quest but when continuing through the game I felt I had no time for it even though I did. Honestly though I have no intention of completing this game fully as It took all the power I had in me just to finish the actual game.
Although I feel that the good points about this game were that the grapics of the forests and were actually quite beautiful, not improved or defined better since AC: Revelations (which I though was at the peak of quality resolution) but they were quite nice to look at and it's nice to have a wide setting that isn't so glitchy and buggy (like in Skyrim).
Again there were parts I did like such as controlling the ships and the battles at sea altough I admittedly struggled on the steering at first and also to mention that some parts of the story were very interesting and did peak interest and exitment such as the conflict between Connor and his father (which linked to Desmond and his own father as they are now reunited) but unfortunately that really only showed more to the last few sequences.
Then again I understand that this was probably, in a way, just like the first Assassin's Creed game where it was the start of something new and was basically like an experiment, for example since the controls were different and 'simplified' (I HATED THESE CONTROLS SO DAMN MUCH I WANTED TO CRY, KEEP CRYING, CRY SOME MORE AND THEN DIE IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND SOMEWHERE) and most other things were different too like adding the games in the inns (I sucked at them so bad..) but even though they gave us a setting were it was like is the previous games you had items to collect and other assassins to recruit and quests for other character (Sofia, I think her name is) and otherside quests to do I feel no need WHAT SO EVER to do these side quests, I kinda feel like they shouldn't have put some of these things in when you've just started a new story like how in Ezio's trilogy things gradually built up in the games, this was just suddenly pushed into the game as if it were to carry on from before but this is a new game with a new character and I felt like it should have just started with a little less but then again this is the only one time Connor going to be used so I guess they had to make it as a whole game and not leading the character off the another sequel.
I desperately hope Assassins Creed: Black Flag will be better than this one cause this was admittiedly a dissapointment of an AC game compared to Revelations (which was the best game in my opinion) and I hope the do a good job as usual with the graphics and hopefully do better with the controls (fingers crossed!) but I mainly look forward to the story line seeing as how Desmond is supposedly dead, yet we don't know that for sure and maybe we might switch to Abstergo's side? I don't know but I'm really looking forward to seeing how everything turns out.
Well I guess i'm done for now, feel free to point out any mistakes i've made because one does not simply type accuately when ranting o3o
I might fill more in if I think about it, but I would really like to just wash my hands of this game overall.

This war had torn our world apart, we all knew it would and yet we could do nothing to prevent its happening. This was between the people and its Government. My cousin was, believe it or not, the Leader of our area, area 23. Earth had been separated into different 'areas' in different continents where the rich were separated from the poor and I guess you could say the good from the evil. We were a well off society with very little crime and every year we elect a new leader. Life was good until when for a third year running, my eldest cousin was elected again. His mind had conjured up so many ideas for our area yet we were too small a place for all of his dreams to come true and so, he called upon the Court of Justice, this is where criminals are dealt with, laws decided and lives changed. He literally thought he could take on the rest of the world and change it for the better. I bet he regrets it now since all there is, is famine, thirsts and just total ruin and devastation. He may have the power and money to do whatever he likes now but in reality he has nothing that anyone sane would consider special or honest and well-earned.
I was put in prison for the remainder of my life as I was apparently planning an assassination on my cousin. He was power mad; too paranoid to sleep at night and since I was his only relative left alive, he thought I was trying to take his 'rightful' place as King Justice. This title was only given to the one of wisdom and un-biased mind. That sure worked well since he himself had assassinated the previous King Justice and somehow managed to make it look like an accident. I must admit that that itself was quite ingenious.
Now I stumble along the broken dusty road that led from that place of pain and misery which I used to call home. I had escaped from prison with my partner, who ended up being my devoted lover since we were both stuck together in prison. I thought he was a total nutcase as first but he eventually grew on me, as I to him, because we were in similar circumstances. Unfortunately I had become ill with this unknown disease that had broken out in my section at prison. No-one has decided to do anything about it though. All the scientists just continued their work which involved testing new types of drugs on the inmates. Some were truth serums and some were pills that were supposed to kill you within 30 seconds of taking it – they usually ended gruesomely. They never usually worked out. My partner Edward (whom I nicknamed Eddie) had been drugged before we broke out. A scientist had grabbed a syringe and stabbed him in the arm with it but we don't know what is was but it hadn't affected him right away so it mustn't have been strong, or, it was a failure. A lot of lives were lost as other inmates who still had their sanity and well-being helped us try to escape yet no-one else managed to get out of there but us.
( Not meant to be in Italics ugh whhyyy ) The question that had plagued her tormented mind ever since the poisoned jagged dagger had suddenly pierced her already sickly pale skin was why? She knew she was going to die but...she had never imagined it would end like this…and certainly not by him. Her life slowly drained from her body in the crimsons drops that slipped down her fingers from the huge gash in her side. She groaned as her weak body eventually collapsed onto the hard concrete beneath her. The shadowy dark figure that held the blood stained dagger knelt beside her and grabbed her dirtied blonde hair; he pulled her head to look up at him, into his cold amethyst eyes. Her fading blue orbs squinted at the figure before her and she frowned in confusion, tears started to stream down her bruised and beaten cheeks once her sight had cleared slightly and she was able to realise who had just taken away her final hope of living. She only held onto the thoughts that kept her sane. It wasn't him, it couldn't be. The blurred stranger gave a shocked expression to the dying girl's reactions and let go of her hair, letting her head hit the hard ground as she started to cough up a small splatter blood, "Why are you crying?, What the hell is wrong with you!?" the man asked, his pupils dilated and confused, the strange drug had taken affect was proved weak as he began to tear at his scruffy charcoal hair like he had an itch that wouldn't go away and was driving him insane. It proved his struggle for re-gaining his sanity. He stood up as he gave her a look of horror and confusion, "W-Wait...who are you? No, no, I DO know you but..." the man rambled on as the girl gave a faint sigh and looked up at him, whispering with what little energy she had left, "Y-You..." the man immediately was silenced and knelt by her again, placing a hand on her icy cheek as she smiled up at him and more tears strayed down her cheeks, "D-Do…you remember me...?".
There was a 10 second silence as the man's eyes widened in horror, as it started to all come back to him; the memories of them together for all those years and their struggle for survival and the battles they had fought while running away as fugitives. Thanks to that scumbag cousin of hers, he started to tear up in the realisation of what he had just done to her. His only friend, his caring partner and his secret lover. He shook his head and pulled her weak frame to his chest, "Y-Yes yes". "I remember, I remember...I remember" she gave a small smile to the sobbing figure who was starting to break down in front of her, "Hey...it's all right" she uttered barely a whisper and looked up at him, her dulling eyes closing ever so slightly with each breath she took as her conscience was starting to (like the rest of her) fade away. He shook her gently as begged her, "S-Stay with me...Please…D-don't you dare close your eyes! I-I'm so, so, so sorry what I've done b-but…y-you can be fixed right? I'll just get you to a hospital a-and they will help you…l-like the last time?" His hands were now stained red from her blood and his eyes pained and panicking as she gave him one last smile, "I'm sorry…Edward…"
"No, no, no it's okay…it's okay, y-you…you're going to be fine, just…" he interrupted her as he brushed her bangs from her eyes lightly, "Just. Stay. With .Me" She chuckled weakly and looked up at him, she knew she wouldn't survive this, it was too much for her body and mind to handle, "Ed, please…Listen to me". "We both know that I won't be able to live through this…" Edward continued to shake his head in denial, "No y-you promised…w-we both promised that we would always be together…You can't just leave me!" Tears were flooding from both of their red sore eyes as he held her close, "Lucy". "We promised".
Her voice was shaky as she felt what remainder of life she had left, slowly seep out of her, "I know…and I'm so...sorry it had to e-end li-…" She started to cough and shake violently, blood dripped down her chin and onto the torn lapel of her shirt as she began to succumb to the unavoidable darkness. "No…" Eddie still refused to believe the heart shredding truth as he saw her slowly fade away before him, his grip tightened around her fragile body, "Please, please…" He continue to pray for a happy ending that she would be able to fall asleep and wake up again, but that wasn't the case, it was like waiting for a train that never comes. "I…" She began as she tried to make use of her last few breaths "I…love you" her eye lids slowly began to close. She could no longer hear his screams or pain, his prayers of a false hope or the final words that he had ran out of time to say. Her body went limp. Lifeless.
