Re: Assassin's Creed III

Thanks. I finally figured it out. It seems also seems like the last few missions you need for some sections is hidden or you have to randomly come across it.

Yeah, the viewpoints don't work as well as other AC games. Usually viewpoints would uncover all of that stuff. The liberation missions in northern NY was the hardest to find so far.

Cdawg44,

Hey I figured out what the problem was with liberating North Boston. There is one mission that you have to do. It doesn't show up on your map, but there is one red restricted area with one last prisoner to free from the stockades. Free him and the rest of the Liberation mission will appear. It is located in the north section of the map. (Atleast for me.) Hope this helps.

Thanks again N51, I was able to find that last North Boston liberation mission!! Now I gotta find the last West New York Missions. I think I need to kill two more sets of rabid dogs to finish the libeation missions. Now at 72% synch.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

I like that theres more character built into the recruits but recruiting them is such a process. -.-; i only have 2 so i havent sent them on a mission but can they die? And if they can do you get new liberation missions from their area and meet a new face?

[Mabster]

Your recruits don't die. They can get injured though and you have to wait till they've healed before you can use them again.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

I'm loving the game but some of the optional requirements are brutally tough. Not the fun kind of challenge but annoyingly so. I'm in sequence 8 and I have to

Spoiler

catch Hickey before he kills Washington's guards and kill 2 militia. I've tried it like 20 times so far and ended up killing Hickey like 3 times on accident meaning I have to restart the memory. If he would get stuck in the crowd more often it wouldn't be so bad but it feels like 80% of the time he gets clean through and you can't catch him no matter what you do.

One of the Naval Missions was tough too. You have to kill a fleet in 1:25. I quit after a number of tries. I didn't realize you could upgrade the Aquila though so I'm going to try again after I have more $$ for upgrades.

I got Hickey on my second try. When you assassinate, there is a "lung" effect. Meaning you don't need to be right near him to assassinate.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

How about the 2 militia men though?

Re: Assassin's Creed III

You got to learn how to do those instant kill type of moves. I killed 2 at the same time just running full speed directly at them.

This. It's all about catching them off guard in a sense.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

Man Sequence 10 was a bitch.

Spoiler

That chase the letter carriers mission on the horse through the woods, OMG, the horses suck in this game. They would get stuck on small branches and small rocks. And this mission glitched on me dozens of times in a row. Literally had to do keep doing this mission for 6 hours because every time I would come up on the last guy on the horse, my horse all of a sudden would stop for no reason and turn around facing the wrong damn direction.

Or he would hop on to a boulder for no reason that was on the side of me and get stuck on there. That irritated me so much......I was yelling why is the horse controls and horse combat so damn bad. It is terrible. Horses have a mind of their own.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

I just accidentally discovered that if you run around the woods with your hidden blades out (hold attack button), you immediately kill any animal you cross paths with. I was running around like some low rent Wolverine, crested a hill and BAM, dead rabbit.

Re: Assassin's Creed III

So just finished the game.

Spoiler

Wow the ending was awful. Desmond dead and that's it? No explanation, not reaction from his dad/comrades he's spent so much time with, nothing. He's just BOOM, instantly toast and all that buildup through five games is gone.

I thought this game started too slowly (not bad, just slow) and the pacing was all out of whack, the missions were all over the place and Conner,

Spoiler

minus those missions he's teamed up with Haytham

, is a forgettable character. I feel like they could have done more with some of the main characters in the historical period too. Washington, Franklin, etc.

Ugh. This game, though a good game on it's own, really disappointed (to me, anyway). So depressing. After having finished Halo 4 over the weekend (pre-streeted it from work and took a break from this to play it) that game is head and shoulders above this one in terms of writing, characters, emotion invested in the plot/characters, pacing, etc etc. WHYYYY DAMN IT. Ugh!

EDIT: Did anyone finish all three epilogue missions?

Spoiler

What the hell is a pivot, what are they for, and perhaps most importantly who was that talking? Templars?

Re: Assassin's Creed III

Spoiler

Yeah. I guess they couldn't figure out a way to make Desmond an engaging character so they just wiped him out. And I'm growing weary of the precursors. I didn't even realize that there was more than one past woman until I found out about the emails and read them. At least some of those were quite funny. And then lady with the crazy hair starts talking to me through emails and talks about how she hates me. As soon as I read that, "Great, she's going to kill me at the end, I know it."

The sequel hook is unsatisfactory. I'm not running around the maps just so I can plop down thsoe triangulation origami things for some guy that hacked the animus. Whatever happens when you do that I'll have to just YouTube the result. Can't help but feel like they wasted a golden opportunity. The VITA gets the character I would've MUCH rather played as in the same setting.

Sooo I hunt Charles Lee for years, and just a few days ago he was talking about cutting my people heads off. Yet, just before I kill him, I share a beer with him?

Spoiler

You weren't sharing the beer, you pretty much mortally wounded him in the events before that. The ending was essentially him conceding defeat, it wasn't meant to be a friendly moment. It was just to show the wear and tear on Connor after all the fighting, showed the human side of things.

Pivots:

Spoiler

Are simply considered 'junk code', your supposed to find these by placing your own pivots around the green area, shrinking the search radius until it's minimal. The more friends on your friends list whom beaten the game increase the pivot find right by 20%, all pivots you find are ones that had been placed by someone else playing AC3, as for how they impact the story, even the guide book I had just said it continued to hold the door open for a sequel. I'm hoping Connor doesn't get a whole spin off arc though, he is absolutely forgettable
