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.

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

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.

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!

I agree that's stupid... but you can use the Helix credits that you earn naturally throughout the game to buy the complete maps.

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.
