Hey all..
So as the title says: How does AC:Liberation Remastered compairs to AC:III Remastered in terms of gameplay, controls and missions? (PS4)
On the playstation, I love to try and go for the platina throphy. I've played AC:I and AC:II on the PS, played AC:Brotherhood on my girlfriends xbox..
then I kinda drowned in other games and forgot about Assassins Creed until I saw a standalone game in the PSStore called "Freedom Cry".
Started to play that and really got back into that awesome "Assassins Creed Vibe"
Next thing I knew I made a new impuls purchase and I was enjoying AC:Unity. Altho the story got weaker (nothing beats Ezio and Italy) the game still got me hooked. I did not like the phone companion app thing and I trully HATE the fact you are forced to go online in order to get all throphies.. but I managed to do it, and I got myself another platina.
Then I just bought AC:IV Black Flag and altho the story was weird as hell (a guy that steals clothes from an assassin and suddenly IS an assassin? Hmm.. okay.. also, the non animus parts.. ugh.. BUT I loved the ship part and the sailing, and also the missions gave that Assassins Creed vibe wich I love.. the typical clothing with the hood, the weapons, the upgrades.. I never got platine for Black Flag cause well.. they force you yet again to go online, and since the server is dead, this will be one of the few games I will never get to 100%..
Then I kinda lost track of all the Assassins creed games, and I refused to buy Origins just cause I dont like the idea to buy a game for full price, and then have to buy another season pass for the lrize of a full game. So I waited and when Origins came on sale (Gold edition for like 20 euro) I jumped right in cause.. ancient egypt + Assassins Creed = awesomeness.. well.. yeah.. BUT it really didnt have the Assassins Creed vibe anymore.. does it look good? Yes, did it had many bugs? Not so many.. but it is so far off from the Assassins Creed that I came to love, that altho it was a cool game with hours of fun, it didnt feel like I had completed an Assassins Creed game when I saw my platina rolled in..
Right after I started AC:Syndicate and right from the start I noticed the Assassins credd vibe returning. I did not expected it, but I really liked Syndicate! Did not like the Jack the Ripper dlc that much but ahwell.. so I really felt happy with that Platina Throphy.
Then after a break, I saw AC:Oddessey on sale (Gold edition + AC:III Remastered + AC:Liberation). Started it, and since its basicly Origins on a different setting, the "meh" factor returned.. awesome game if they would have removed the "Assassins Creed" title.. cause seriously.. what happened to the whole "We create a city based on REAL buildings and try to make it as real as we can". After AC:II we actually went to Florence on holliday and the resemblence was awesome! So now we have arrived to the latest AC game, and story wise it has nothing to do with Assassins Creed.. it was really sad to see. No hidden blades anymore, no Assassins upgrades like I grown to love, instead, the only "Assassins" thing is a skilltree called Assassin, while the whole game just screams out: hide? Screw you, just run in and bash your way through! Fighting medusa and **** was fun, but really, I want sneaky assassinations like Ezio had to do, not button smashing a mythical creature to death..
Fine, got my platina but was left with exactly the same feeling after finishing Origins..
But hey: like Syndicate after Origins, I can now play AC:III after Oddessey and get that awesome AC vibe again ^^
Right?
No..
I just finished AC:III, got my platina and I can saw in all honestly: This was my most frustrating platina ever! The controls, what were they thinking? The story with Desmond.. geez..
Yes it felt more like Assassins Creed then Origins or Oddessey, and I did liked the ship part, but everything in AC:III said: Ok we have no idea what to do, so we try a bit from everything we came up with, and if people like it, we make a new game with better controls and less bugs..
Huh? Bugs in a several years old game wich just got remastered? Yes! WTF! My horse has gotten stuck inside a fence, Game has crashed loads of time during naval missions, I have been stuck inside a tree, inside a rock, inside a brick wall.. trying to be sneaky? Haha, nope, you can not crouch, instead, we make you crouch automaticly inside a bush, where if you move, you stand up for a fraction of a second wich in AC:III basicly means the ENTIRE world saw it and is now afyer you.. well ok, then we are going to hide.. right? Haha another fail: you can rus as far as you want, the guards will never ever lose you, even new guards a few streets further suddenly run towards you and best you can do is just fight em all.. so many flaws wich made me wanna throw my controller away, but most frustrating were the additional requirements for full sync. Those requirements combined with the controls made me realise 1 thing: this game has never been properly tested OR tested by someone who hates games..
No, I did not enjoy it. I kept going on cause maybe, just maybe, you will unlock something what makes it more AC, but nope.. you have a hidden blade and altho you "unlock" new weapons, I only used the hidden blade and a pistol now and then. Smoke bombs didnt work as flawless as in AC:II, bow is useless due to his slow fire time, 95% of the guns is useless cause after 2 shots you need to reload for like 20 seconds.. during a fight.. nope..
The game felt rushed, untested and unfinished. Loads great ideas with very poor execution..
So now back to my initial question: I got a free copy of AC:Liberation.. will that be the AC Vibe game I want? Or another AC:III?
Kinda hoping for the Vibe, but am afraid for the AC:III answer..
