deanb Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 For the this page/previous page thing - Likely someone has hidden one of their posts, so we still get 20 to page, including the hidden one, and you guys get it removed pushing everything back by at least one post. edit: Yeah there's 14 hidden posts in this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Well, looks like I was right about my CPU being the culprit for ACIII being unplayable on my PC. After my upgrade, it runs pretty smoothly. CPU usage reported by MSI Afterburner was actually insanely high, my cousin was with me at the time and he couldn't believe it. What a load of shit, my old one clearly met the recommended specs. Anyway! I already played the game on PS3 a few months ago but since I own the season pass I was wondering, is the King Washington DLC worth playing at all? I'm tempted to just move on to Black Flag but I don't wanna skip it if it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 It's worth playing, but it's not the best thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I'm one of the biggest AC3 defenders around these parts, but King Washington DLC is bullshit. If you put Freedom Cry on the highend of Ass Creed DLC, and the missing sequences from AC2 as the low end, then King Washington would be somewhere around Final Fantasy XIII-2's DLC ("what that doesn't even make any sense, TCP!" I KNOW!) EDIT: Do you like running through 18th century New York getting chased by guards CONSTANTLY? Guards who can keep up with you? Do you like shoehorned in magical powers? Do you like everything all being a dream?! THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT, FLD. DOUBLE EDIT: I should mention that these guards can also keep up with you, unless you use your magical (somewhat offensive) Native American powers, which don't really work properly.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 did anyone buy the standalone version of freedom cry for PS3? I am having a right nightmare with it and wondering if it's the game or my console. I tried loading it three times today and it froze every time at different points but all before I actually got to the game. I've yet to play it without it freezing and having to power off the PS3 with the physical button on the console. I'm redownloading it now so fingers crossed, but I'm not keen on turning by console on and off all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I played the non-standalone version on PS4 and didn't have any stability issues, but that probably doesn't tell you much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Apparently you have to sign out of PSN for the game to work. As Sony were having their network problems when I first played it that was why I could get it to work a bit as I kept getting signed out of PSN. I guess every cloud...

Huh, I'm actually really liking AC3, too. Will be interesting to give the DLC a spin. Nearly through with the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Yeah I think AC3 is great, just very, very unfocused, with some pretty bad feature creep. The tree climbing and new aesthetic is a revelation. Some great set pieces and story, too (notwithstanding the present-day stuff which I've always hated). Unity is going very, very well whenever I play it. Did you know that, for the first time since AC1, they've made some of the collectibles (cockades and chests) not appear on your map until you find them? That is, without paying money to buy the maps for them. So you actually have to explore the city to find the collectibles now! I'm fucking loving it!

TheMightyEthan Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't remember the other games very specifically, but at least in AC:R for the Animus shards you had to actually see them with eagle vision before they would show up on your map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I read somewhere that Eagle Vision might be involved. I hope not, but that might make sense. Would be horrible because Eagle Vision is now on a timer and a cooldown... Which I'm fine with, but not when I have to repeatedly power it up and down.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I too really enjoyed AC3. The homestead was, imo, easily the best implementation of the home-base stuff they've got going in the series, though I haven't played Unity yet.

Eleven Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you have eagle vision on and a red chest is in the radius, it will be marked on the map. White chests are shown by the sync towers. So you really just run around the city turning it on as soon as you can, and there are all your collectibles.

That is, without paying money to buy the maps for them. I agree that's stupid... but you can use the Helix credits that you earn naturally throughout the game to buy the complete maps.

Eleven Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Do you earn helix credits? Isn't it just your PS balance converted to Helix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Everything I'm finding says you can buy Helix credits, but doesn't say whether it's possible to earn them. *Edit* - Oh, apparently you can also earn them by completing Uplay reward actions.

TCP Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah I finished the game with like 600+ Helix credits. Not sure how exactly, but I definitely didn't put any money into it. It was more than enough to buy all the maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
