Today’s game is some more Assassin’s Creed 3. I’ve been working on clearing the DLC. I made it about half way through. So far the story has been a bit mediocre, but I am really loving the new gameplay mechanics. I think in a base game they’d get old fast but in a small DLC like this? They’re a blast because they’re these cool overpowered tools that bring up the scope of what you can do.
So far my favorite has been the eagle ability just because it’s like a grappling hook. It’s a blast to use.
I’ve also been trying to get all the optional objectives. I want to 100% the DLCs too so those are something I’ll have to work towards too. So far it hasn’t been that bad. Some of the objectives are hard, nowhere near the level of the base game though.
I stopped for today and ended up going back to the first episode to finish a few tasks I missed. I thought they’d be a pain to do but I found I could farm them all by running out of the space where they spawn and running back, then I could keep farming that for the goal. I doubt this will be of any use to anyone, but the location is the hill between Lexington (or Concord, I can’t remember, whichever is closer to Valley Forge) and Valley Forge. I found running across the River and back would force it to spawn and I could repeat that for the 5 “Save the NPC from wolves” goal.
Heyyy, it’s that ship where you chased Charles Lee!
I’ve always been puzzled by the abilities in King Washington. Like, how does George Washington going mad because of the Apple lead to Connor being able to do… all of that? Is this some whacky Isu shit that Juno didn’t see the need to tell him he could do? Or is the Apple just not even bothering to keep things plausible?
I have that ship burned into my mind because of getting 100% synch lmao.
I always assumed the Apple was just getting outlandish with the reality it makes up. I suppose with the stuff we see in the RPG games though Connor’s abilities aren’t the craziest thing
All I remember from playing this DLC as it released was the eagle flight, lower feeling production values in things like animations, and how silly it felt to see an evil George Washington. It is a fun romp.
Your thought about the eagle ability being less fun makes me wonder if you’ve played or would like AC Syndicate. You get a grappling hook in that game that makes vertical traversal much easier.
I actually really love syndicate and its grappling hook. I know it’s like a patch for the parkour, but there’s something so cool about using it to get around
You have permission to not 100% achievements (at least from this Lemmyier… Lemmier?)
Don’t forget that the journey is far more important than the destination, in most cases. Do what thoust will, but need not thee feel burden of completion. Many things cannot be. May I recommend taking recommendations? I wish not to upset balance, I am simply the wind.
I usually don’t 100% things outside of things that really catch me, I’ll usually just run through the “core experiences” of a game.
Assassin’s Creed is just an important franchise to me (I grew up with it) and I feel like going through it is an almost personal project for me. I may even say it’s a personal journey of its own
Lemming?
It would be also nice if you would rate then while posting screenshots, without details just give it a number out of 10.
I’m not really that great with any sort of numerical ratings. I don’t really ever find myself giving a rating below 6/10 just because I always find myself finding some sort of enjoyment in an experience.
I think I may just be too lenient of a person to rate thing, especially in a way that would be meaningful to others
This is just a mini game blog, not a review. They plays the same game a lot of days, what they do in-game is a lot more interesting than a score!
