Not fun at all, does it gets any better?

[Korrosiv]

Im playing as Haytham Kenway, and things got really annoying really fast, constant cutscenes, very poorly designed missions/levels, glitches, unintresting story... right now im at a mission where kenway says "maybe i can sabotage the canons", so i get close to a cannon and suddenly i gotta run back to stay in range to eavesdrop some soldiers that are walking, i try to do a ledge-stealth-kill and it wont let me, i try to do the "sudden hidden blade in the stomach" stealth move and the idiot starts to do this unnecesary coreography with the hidden blades drawing atention.

Nothing seems to work smoothly, and missions feel like a chore, please tell me it gets better with connor....

I personally enjoy the game as it goes on, but it does not get any less glitchy. I'm actually at a point where I cannot continue due to a glitch, and I cannot find how to fix it anywhere. The game is broken, but it is enjoyable as it goes on.

I actually uninstalled the game because the Haytham Kenway section was so boring. I'm glad I reinstalled it though because the rest of the game is vastly better. It's still not a brilliant game I still think Assassin's Creed 1 was the best of the series so far but it's still worth playing since you've paid for it by now.

The first few hours are rather boring, but does get a bit better in my opinion. The story changes pace after sequence 3. It's not the best Assasin's Creed but I like the time period so I enjoy it. ACII and even ACIV are better.

The game never gets rid of the bugs. It's so much more buggier than IV on my machine. I can't have my joystick plugged into USB or else I can't play with my gamepad. I also have to return my CPU and GPU to their stock speeds before playing, or else the game constantly speeds up every few seconds. Console port much?

Thanks for the feedback, good to know im not the only one. I'll give it a shot till chapter 6..

do the evesdrop and then sabatoge the cannons. I personaly, liked the haytham part. I did not like the hour long native language part with the constant rain dance drums that never change or end. Had to mute that entire two hours.

[Korrosiv]

Oh god, the native kumbaya background music is driving me insane...

[Denton of Science]

This game is a pice of crap on pc and argubly the worst game in the francise...

This game is bad on the Technical Side and even more on the gameplay side...

The Story,art and Music is fine in my opinion.

Sadly to say this game is really the weakest i have played so far in the entire series. It starts out really slow and boring, picks up a little bit when connor enters the stage but quickly then returns to being boring and un-intresting, and like you said, doing thing feels like a chore.
I actually did things that while doing them you say to urself "hey i did these things in prior games but here it feels so much less fun doing them".
I went online to see how many chapters/sequences are there and i can say that i have 3 more sequences to do but i think im gonna pass on it and just abandond this crappy game.
It's the most dumbed down game of the series.

The game is about telling a story, so you will have cutscenes.

I finished all game and I don't know why, but I enjoyed it in spite off really big technical problems and some broken missions.

Playing as Haytham early in the game sets the stage and explains the characters that are important later in the game when you play as Conor, so even though his early missions are somewhat boing they are important for understanding the story later.

I came pretty close to doing the same thing. I played this for 2 hours as haytham and quit. I JUST returned to it 3 months later because I got a friend into the series and started ac3. My friend LOVES the series, but I am practically forcing myself to play it.

I DO like it, but there are certain aspects of the game that completely kill it for me, such as the desyncronization, map restrictions, and respawning enemies. I was in the north part of Boston just a few hour ago, and it always tells you in a conflict that you hide or kill etc to end the conflict. Well, I must have killed 100 soldiers before I gave up because they kept respawning around me. A certain alleyway and part of a street was covered in bodies, and all I wanted to do was end the conflict (and there was a town crier right next to me, which I could never become anonomous for more than a second in order to get my rating down.

Another thing was using pistol/bow. Several times I've been very close to a target (say he's on horseback, just getting onto a horse) and I go to shoot him with my pistol. Well, it decides to target the guy behind me instead so I desync because of it.

Desync is the worst concept I have ever seen in a game. At the beginning where you save a guy in a river, I was following the guy to the river and got snagged onto a broken wagon or something. I didn't even have enough time to get loose before it desync'd me.

Sorry for ranting lol. I love the series but it's making me work for it constantly. Oh, and idk how you like AC1 the best. I thought it was the worst, I forced myself to play it as well although I didn't quit it for 3 months like ac3. I absolutely loved the Ezio Triology, minus the map restrictions.

One game mechanic is pretty bad too. Idk about anyone else, but after collecting 1-2 almanac pages, I'm like....no. I'm not doing that.

[Korrosiv]

Yeah i've beeng crashing with several frustrating glitches too, i hope im not missing much by not getting all the synch points cause it was impossible to do several side objectives early on (thanks to bugs) so i decided not even trying to do them.. the ones that make me rage are the glitches in the eavesdrop missions.

[Bargle The Infamous]

The game itself is quite good although i cant be bothered with all the extras of the game like getting 100% sync on everything, and some of the side missions. Some of them are rock hard and just not worth doing. Also i found the washington DLC as boring as hell. The last part of chapter 1 is bugged over all formats and if you get there and it is bugged you cant complete it unless you start again. I got part the way through the second chapter and gave up because i got so bored with it.

I did like the main game though. Although it is riddled with bugs. TBH the assassins creed series is becoming a bit of a money spinner for ubisoft and i certainly wouldnt pay full price for another one. I got this one in the xmas sale and it was worth it for £10 but i would have got the version without the DLC for £5 had i of known.

you are boring, ac3 4life !
