The Assassin's Creed 3 Dichotomy - The Rageaholic

[@SecretSquaff]

Connor's surprise at slavery is my biggest problem with this game. As a Native American, it's upsetting to see the general fact that Natives had slaves before pilgrims ever came over, not just erased, but completely reversed, a slap in the face. What's the point of making a game based around the birth of a nation and the struggle of native americans if you know so little about them.

[@linhero797]

Fuck all the Native Civilizations in the Americas that were bigger then trjbes of a few dozen were only possible through slavery.

[@asdasd-ty9se]

Only push the message(tm)

[@BalrogUdun]

Poor razor he has no clue how far this franchise will fall.

[@BurnDoubt]

Ac ended with ezio for me. Watched my neighbor play ac Valhalla. What a joke

[@lowellhouser7731]

This game was like having a second job. That doesn't pay you. And sometimes hits you in the head with a hammer to wake you up from the tedium.

[@DrIMPRATICAL]

I actually got this game on release and never beat it. I got to about the half way point, stopped playing, and just never went back. By the time I remembered I actually owned the game I had forgotten every major plot point and didn't care to remind myself, so I just traded it in at a gamestop after a watching the end of the game in a youtube video. It's one of the few games I bought and genuinely regret buying because it just wasn't worth it.

[@kingstarscream320]

AC3 was the best one, douche bro.

[@SouthStarProductions-tn9jp]

You are one of the best ranters I've ever seen. You review better and than ign ever could

[@EclipseHedgehog]

sure the dlc was fun for a little while, I enjoyed the overpowered spiritually stereotypical connor who was able to travel faster, turn invisible and send out wolves to feed off of 3 unlucky fellows, but holy cow does it eat up a lot of memory!

[@Sirveaux]

I think what I like most about your videos is that I haven't found any cases of you asking for donations, you never plug products.

[@Henker1987]

Jeah i cant take anyone seriously that promotes his patreon and such shit.

[@Elenrai]

Assasins creed 2, I completed it once. Memorable target: I shot the fucking pope with my wrist. Something tells me razorfist willfully forgot the AC2 ending!

[@ShaddySoldier]

"I'm wielding a musket rifle" musket rifle that's not how it works

[@Oppetsismiimsitsitc]

Whynaut rifled musket?

[@ShaddySoldier]

Dard Hildo you can't have a musket that is rifled, they are diffrent things. a rifle is smooth bore, aka the tube the bullet shoots through is smooth. rifling was a new invention from america where you'd ad a corkscrew pattern into the tube called "rifling" that would cause the bullet to spin like a football so it would have better distance and accuracy, and would hit harder. A musket rifle is like saying an orange blue-bluebird.

[@ShaddySoldier]

Dard Hildo but I'm just being a gun spurg

[@assaultspoon4925]

Musket rifle is actually a pretty common term for describing a muzzleloaded rifle

[@Teajryan]

So four different people saying four different things. You can't all be right.

[@PaleRider559]

You're pretty much right on point with this one... 'cept you forgot to mention the annoying personality of Connor (how can you have a split personality, and no personality at the same time?), and total lack of character development of... EVERYONE! A 7th grade creative writing class could teach a 12 year old better story telling abilities :P

[@Wezzipooh]

When this game came out last year, it received glowing praise from the gaming press. A few months later, almost every games journalist that talks about it, hates it. Where have we seen this pattern before? Thanks Razorfist for another trustworthy review. I was on the fence about this game.

[@invictus8486]

Nooo....This brings back horrible memories of their game breaking bugs they never fix. Because they don't care about their fans.

[@invictus8486]

Also why did they have to add politics?

[@saintsknight986]

Good point on the Assassinations. Throughout the game I had fun gathering my Assassin's Recruits, doing Homestead missions and able to talk to them, fighting and exploring but it was all side quests not the main story.

[@SoraThe1WingedAngel]

Dude, this is fantastic. That whole bit about allowing us the grace of defeat was a masterstroke! Assassin's Creed III's fighting engine is ridiculously easy to 'master'. It really isn't all the exciting to press 2 buttons and then see a cut scene of what I should be doing.

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

Thus far, among the games I've played, there are two I have sworn to never replay under any circumstance. GTA IV and Assassin's Creed III.

[@ifgmbtf]

Same.

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

***** It was criminally overrated. Game of the year for a mess of storytelling and zero research that, in the gameplay department, resides somewhere between GTA III and Vice City? No. Also, add to that list of mine another game: Watch UNDERSCORE Dogs.

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

Akhamesh The worst part is GTA V isn't too much better. I mean of course it's significantly better than the abomination that was IV but it's still below San Andreas in terms of actual gameplay features. How can that even happen with a 100 mil budget? Also, I'd love to know what bike handling was like in GTA IV but I can't because I coul barely run it at over 5 FPS. And yes, the last two soundtracks were dreadful. I mean you have a Serbian protagonist (neglecting the fact that the Kilimanjaro is more Serbian than that protagonist) and you put no classic Yugoslavian rock in the game? What fucking brain dead moron picked that soundtrack?

[@ZlatkoTheGod]

***** I have a policy when it comes to games: When you buy a game, it must be all of the game that you're buying, the completed thing, no strings attached. I find waiting for DLC and shit like that to make the game bearable unacceptable. Akhamesh Oh trust me V's radio is terrible as well. Maybe not as terrible as GTA IV but I wouldn't know because I remember next to nothing from GTA IV because it was simply too boring. Hell there was a callback to a heist from IV in V and I had to go to KZbin to find a video of it to see it and realise that I don't remember a fucking thing. But yeah, at least the port of V is good enough to make the mods amazing.

[@apollojustice5338]

This thread can go fuck itself. GTA IV was an amazing game even with its flaws. Don't ever compare it to the dumpster fire that was AC3.

[@FoxFireUnlimited]

"You can write in Bullet Time." Best line I've heard all year.

[@lCore17]

Exactly my thoughts, almost every game now ends in a massive cliff hanger or get a forced sequel, It's getting to the point that most franchises need to have one new game every year that is shorter and feels like a big tech demo.

[@Gigamyt3]

And with that, I've gotta a hankering temptation of giving the first Assassin's Creed game a whirl and never raise my head upwards at the other installments.

[@AugustStephenson397]

2:09 This statue sadly was struct by lightning and burned to the ground.

[@Estwood9]

I have only gotten to sequence 7. It's my personnel opinion but feel that playing as Haytham actually felt more stealthy than playing as Connor.

[@jlall4467]

What sequence are you on now?

[@SwallowFury]

The funny thing is, it felt more like they made this just for the shareholders than because they genuinely wanted to make it.

[@1000g2g3g4g800999]

The opening was pretty amazing.

[@HungNguyen-qr7bt]

“Avoid this game like Sony avoids mentioning the Vita’s sales figures”

[@drogothlord]

LMAO! Eeyore on ambien! Your jokes and analogies never cease to make me piss myself with laughter! Badass review as always, Razorfist!

[@BalrogUdun]

You should review Assasins creed Origins.

[@AtTheSpeedOf]

I enjoyed the game for the most part, though it definitely wasn't great. I did however thoroughly enjoy the final assassination, Charles Lee in the tavern. It was sort of refreshing to see a villain die in such a calm and calculated manor.

[@kevinhibbard320]

Digging that intro music.

[@LateNiteGibberish]

I seriously needed this. Cheers, RazorFist.

[@adeptusrader]

Another review where you nailed it right on the head sir, kudos are in order

[@TheRPGguy94]

Do I recognize Stryper in that opening? Badass! Although I can't put my finger on the song.

[@LLAAPPSSEE]

I'm also surprised you didn't mention the complete lack of footprints in the snow, however there was "deep snow" deformation...(which I thought looked like shit.) Nit-picky detail. Godspeed.

[@matty5492]

razorfist, could you do a review of "Final Fantasy: All the Bravest" on mobile devices? I hate to ask anyone to play it, but I'd be amused by your opinion.

[@paxmorgana]

Eh, fuck you I like it. Favorite parts were even mapping out the frontier, the edges of New York and Boston, and the sewer fast travel system. Especially the sewer fast travel system. I know I'm like 8 years late to the party but yeah. Also, Connor best assassin by far, especially loved the revenge gearing up sequence where he shaves the sides of his head in preparation of going after Charles Lee.

[@jlwest23]

What I could never understand about the series is that you as an assassin sticks out like a sore thumb. It just did not occur to them to have the option to change your clothes when doing assassinations.

[@CurtisDyer]

I'm glad Rich from ReviewTechUSA references you; your videos are great. Awesome work, man.

[@gunnerysergeanthartmann7454]

What is the picture at 4:27?

[@lonelysith66]

Razor, I can only watch your vids once because there's just way too much awesome in them and I can't wait for your DmC video. :D

[@MrIvanm10]

Wow! amazing review and couldn't agree more...AC3 was such a disappointment and I hate myself for buying it release date...keep up the great work RazörFist

[@timinou9915]

I had the joy of trying this game for the first time on Wii U 😂

[@Costar58]

Aside from the first Blood Omen, which is the origin story of Kain all games in the franchise are either on Good Old Games or Steam, that is for the record Blood Omen 2, Defiance and both Soul Reavers

[@MetalSupplySite]

the first song reminded me a bit of vanden plas.great job again on the video its brutal as \m/ \m/

[@Caparzoshow]

Did you upload subtitles for this or youtube's shitty phonetic detection system has become scarily accurate?

[@kingti85]

Battlefield 1942 Argentina I'm hoping you couldn't find a better way of saying "Awesome subtitles, Razorfist!" and this was a rhetorical question.

[@titopatrick1]

Are we having a temper tantrum now? not getting your way? still cant figure out the caps lock button? awe wee lamb.

[@nickporter9264]

2:09 RIP Touchdown Jesus

[@TyranusRex721]

I see that picture of Touchdown Jesus. Funny how a lightning bolt burned it him down. Granted that is what happens when you make a giant statue out of a flammable material. They have since rebuilt him, but sadly he no longer calls touchdowns. Guess the memory was to painful to do the same pose again.

[@dustinnewhouse5729]

as a fan of Assassin's creed the only complants i has were the evs droping circle you had to stay in to hear people talk and the glithies

[@AnnDVine]

Ooh, is this the first video where you had the same mic quality across the whole video? (Not getting worse when you cut to the webcam segments.) That's a nice touch.

[@UnderTheSkin13]

So. Assassin's Creed IV same time next year? Sounds fitting, since the series is on life support at this time.

[@gunblade7303]

Cant wait until the DmC video we will be sure to get...I hope.

[@redshift912]

nice,new video. i stopped listening to hatebit after you left so im happy when i see a new video.

[@CHOLKYJ]

Razorfist what is your opinion on all developers taking a new approach in their latest sequel of some of their best games and failing at delivering miserably by changing the core till the game looks absolutely nothing like it's predecessors and throwing away what made them great. Assassin's creed 3 , dead space 3, mass effect 3, hitman absolution, the new DmC, just to name a few.

[@fragthekitten]

Vatican in an apocalyptic ion cannon plot... yep, sounds like Shamalamadingdong to me.

[@Xiko91]

Still playing it, still loving it. but everyone has their opinion and I see some of your points.

[@sidikus284]

Razorfist,for this review and your dead on observations,I owe you a drink my friend

[@pimpelp35]

I want that Assassin's Creed 3 image at the beginning with the Eagles :D That was hilarious.

[@RuggedTheDragon]

I always wondered what your opinion was on the Zelda franchise.

[@RagingWolffe]

Maybe if the developers send him a early copy like they do IGN and Gamespot RazorFist could put something out when the game comes out. But since he's a gamer like us then expect something later.

[@XellDincht]

Hi Razorfist, i hope you will review DmC too

[@EclipseHedgehog]

i hate how when I'm trying to be stealthy the game FORCES you to be out in the open be it cut scene in favor of chasing, or impossibly strict AI that have eagle vision themselves screwing you up. what happened to not letting your prey know what hit them?

[@Jetstoanywhere]

Nice work, I really like your reviews.

[@lolololololol012]

That would be the assassin's creed costume in metal gear solid 4.

[@starwarsfan117]

That actually sounds more interesting than being a pirate again.

[@heavywestern5943]

To this day there are STILL people who think this glitchy pile of nothing is the best AC game. Is it any wonder why the series is where its at now?

[@dragonheart967]

Razor, your thoughts on the now CoD release schedule of the Assassin Creeds games? I mean, I find it odd as fuck that their making an Assassins Creed's game where you're more notorious than Black Beard. This guy an assassin or a blade for hire?

[@Mr4pp]

This game was more frustration than actual fun.

[@INFILTR8US]

I love all your dog footage!

[@crossbones116]

Say Razorfist, you seem to be a man with a great interest in stealth games. but going by modern trends it seems stealth is just getting more and more fucked over. What do you feel the industry can do to make stealth good again?

[@Gigamyt3]

The quantifiable amount of 'rage' isn't the proper synonym in verse to describe the qualifications in quality to what the review is supplemented towards by not just tone. Affiliations in experienced hands-on perspective of evident disclosure upon descriptive and personal analysis from RazorFist is what matters in substance towards weight in the feelings of his say in the review(s).

[@goukeban6197]

1:10 - Which movie is this?

[@expertlogicman3765]

Leon: The Professional

[@MrJobocan]

The ultimate proof of that (to me) is the mindbogglingly high reviews for DmC... which reviewers actually praised for dumbing down the combat.

[@Dragonking1984]

having played all the AC games up to ACIII i have up to this point enjoyed the games. since they focused on not only how you assassinate your target but WHY you do it. it shows what effect each kill you executed had on the bigger picture. and in some cases it showed the ripple effect it had in the game world. with each kill you did the city guards would become more suspicious of your presense in a area. do enough out in the open assassinations and the towns citizens would not hesitate to rat you out. then i get to ACIII after having seen the trailer. and...i have yet to see the main protagonist in full assassin gear. and now knowing i have to muck about with fetch quests and escort quests for 9 HOURS before i apparently earn the right to play the role of A ASSASSIN makes me want to pick the game back up even less. and people think I am the crazy one for not understanding how being a pirate on a ship has ANYTHING to do with being a assassin fighting a war with a religious cult bent on ruling the world.

[@tomclancy008]

While I disagree with you entirely on this game I'm still liking because this video is just too damn funny.

[@brianfuller5868]

AC3 is a frustrating fuckup. It's actually not bad but ....It COULD have been much better. It should have been much better.

[@TheMedievalMassacre]

Hey Razorfist, you seem like a WWE fan. Any chance we could get a video about your opinions on the current state of WWE?

[@easterneagle5]

Razorfist, minor question, Between Dishonored or Assassin's Creed 3, which game did you like (or hate) more? Thanks if you answer.

[@Sandvik83]

AC3 is just a culmination of the "more is more" thinking in the games industry today. Instead of crafting a complete product, they shove a bunch of ideas together and hope for the best. To me, there is some good hidden under the layers of developmental fat in this game. Some of the "modern" missions wsre enjoyable. But with cardboard cutout characters and a protagonist with less personality than an accountant on heroin you just don't care about the game. Only exception is Haytham. Love that guy.

[@key099able]

Are you gonna talk about Ubisofts second open world game of the 2012 holiday season?

[@LostTranslation85]

0:06 I couldn't stop laughing at that.

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

This is what happens when you have developers make a new game every year. After a while, bullshit was bound to come spewing out.

[@Hiromu656]

fantastic video.

[@Sirveaux]

Hiromu656 It was.

[@NerfedFalcon]

Is it weird that I manage to read all those comments in your 'review' voice?

[@DD2225]

Oh damn, at 3:56, I leave a few blocks from that 24 Hour Fitness (in San Diego on Midway Dr.). The commercials for this game did not make it look appealing. Captain Kidd's sword as a bonus from Gamestop? No thanks. I'm glad there are reviews like this to tell the downside of the over-hyped games that have a LOT of TV commercial time.

[@XxJeebusCrustxX]

Any chances of seeing a Far Cry 3 review from you in the future?

[@MrHiglesworth]

This is the most accurate AC3 review I have seen on youtube.

[@nightwishfan1991]

The horse comment had me laughing so hard I could hardly breathe :)

[@zyonhunter]

RazorFist will you review DMC?

[@phoenix2195]

I know the into with Heytham was long but tbh for me it was the most enjoyable part of the game, This may be due to the fact that Connor is 10% British, 10% Native American and 80% Wood.

[@unconsidered1]

I'm just curious about something, why is it Triple A's you rage at? I don't think I've ever seen you rageaholic a franchise or a indie as far as I know.

[@xMobilemux]

Hey Razorfist are you gonna review that god awful new DmC?

[@Carsonj13]

What are your thoughts on the God of War franchise?

[@kovicast]

I know right? I feel your pain мой друг.

The whole series is great, you really can't go wrong even if you just play them for funsies.

[@Cucumber-ej1pm]

The combat in Assassins' Creed games honestly has always been way too easy not just in this one.

[@Altcomsports]

You said the game was bad and to avoid it but this review definitely didn't feel as rage filled as others. I've never personally been able to get into the series. I played through the first game but I thought it was only above average at best

[@Gigamyt3]

Only on the cheek, son.

[@SirLoadingscreen]

What needs to be said that hasn't been said before?
