We don't know that tbf could just be that its open world is demanding on current hardware full stop.

I have seen videos of this and i can see why frame rate could be an issue that open world sea looks f*cking huge ffs.

That had quite a lot of texture pop in and slow load times as far as the map was concerned.

But it didn't really ruin my experience.

I'm far from even knowledgeable on these things but I'd say it was worse than GTA BUT I think it's improved now, maybe it was just the starting sections that were really janky

I sucked at the boat sections of AC3 I'm going to struggle here I can tell already Laughing

GOAT setting though

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Oct 29, 2013 5:42 pm

I'll probably get it when i complete The Last of Us.

I know i'll most likely love it as i was in the small percentage of people who loved AC3 and Pirates ffs >>>>

don't neglect upgrading your ship

i'm 2/3rds through the story and some of the naval fights are frustrating..and I havent actually been neglecting it, money is tough to come by compared to previous AC's. everything is expensive as hell. I havent been exploring and stuff or doing side missions though lol.

Pirates rock

by Firenze Thu Oct 31, 2013 6:50 pm

Finished it already lol, though I did just run through the entire story, tons of side stuff to do

I'd say it was tied with AC2 as the best one. It has the best supporting characters and setting, but Ezio is the GOAT.

Rushing through things

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Oct 31, 2013 7:39 pm

Is this actually any good?

I felt like I was ripped off with AC3 so I'm hesitant.

just behind AC2 as the best in the series for me

AC3 was a struggle to finish

by McLewis Thu Nov 21, 2013 2:17 pm

Agree with Firenze. Just sat down and played it again for the first time in like 2 months....just not a game I can play for hours on end. It'll likely be the same with AC4.

It's been an awesome experience nonetheless.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Nov 21, 2013 2:25 pm

I find that with most games nowadays tbh...its very rare I play for more than an hour or two in one sitting.

Tend to spread the game out over weeks and months at a time, tend to think I enjoy games now more because of it.

I'm able to steadily take it all in bite sizes instead of blasting through it in one sitting and everything being a blur.

It is a lot better than AC 3. I'd agree with the other posts that its right behind AC 2.

I knocked it out in about 2 and a 1/2 days, beat all 4(or 5)legendary ships, fully upgraded my ship, did most the side missions. Didn't care to get 100% as I wanted to start playing battlefield 4.

If you're having trouble with money find the naval convoys and hit them, they show up as blue on your map and they carry 10 grand. And do the naval contracts that you get after capturing the forts, the pay is like 2 grand each.

I didn't play AC2 but this one is the best AC i've played. part of the reason AC franchise was becoming boring was the lack of things you could do in the game, there was just a huge map but without side activity it was all useless. this one has a shitload of stuffs that keeps you entertained for a lot of hours.

I'm not doing any mission by the way, capturing forts are more fun.

by elm_baraja_shaman Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:55 am

how the legendary ship is faster than the Jack Daw still beats my mind

my ship at level 25 and I thought I was a match for the legendary ship

:facepalm:

You do realize that legendary ships are level 70 ?

by M99 Thu Dec 19, 2013 2:57 pm

Playing it. Really good game. So much stuff to do.

I have a question. Where does the metal I plunder go to? And can you do other things with sugar and rum apart from selling them?

Also I like Edward. So much better than Connor...

by Pedram Thu Dec 19, 2013 3:39 pm

Metal, wood and clothes can be used to upgrade Jackdaw but they don't have a great sell value, sugar and rum can only be sold.

I'm currently on sequence 12, really enjoying the story so far, i liked pretty much all supporting characters.

Big spoiler:

£19.99 on PSN in europe for the next two days as part of their xmas deals (you can also upgrade it to the PS4 version for £10 if you are buying a PS4 in the next month.) Great price for a great game if anyone is wanting to buy it.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Dec 30, 2013 4:39 pm

Really enjoying this as of now, ship battles and exploration is very enjoyable as is exploring the various islands, settlements, towns and jungles etc etc....

Really enjoying the missions, story and other stuff so far too if the level of enjoyment remains all the way through i'll put it above 2 i think.

by M99 Mon Dec 30, 2013 6:22 pm

This game is worse than GTA when it comes to distractions Laughing

Sooo many forts

Soo many treasures

Gotta catch em all.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Dec 30, 2013 7:17 pm

Agree with that as well lol.... i kept meaning to do things and then doing something else lol.

Not a bad thing though, i think i spent about an hour in a jungle once repeatedly trying to escape from a tiger but getting lost so kept killing them till i got bored.

Got about 30 skins by the end lol.

Yeah agreed. I haven't played every Assassin's Creed, but this is the first one that I have that I've actually tried to collect everything. In the others, if I saw a chest or something on the corner of the map, I'd just ignore it, but I guess I've just gotten into character by wanting to steal everything pirat

One thing that annoys me though is how I never have enough wood or metal to upgrade my ship. I have tons of money, but I just don't like going out and having to sink ship after ship in order to make the final upgrades I need to make my ship perfect. Also, if I get attacked by ship after ship, I just get annoyed and sink half of them without boarding sometimes, which makes a difference.
