Yeah, its trivial once you figure that out. hahaha

Hey gang. I'm mid-way through seq 5 and I can't figure out how to see what mini-challenges, like Frontier Challenges, are available. I've pushed start and gone to the menu, but can't locate it. XBOX, btw.

Any help?

[happy_daiz]

Those are accessed through the back button, not start.

It contains your map, challenges/log, inventory, etc.

^ Thanks. I saw a nice article that said hold off on exploring until after Seq. 5, so I'm obeying. There seems like a ton of stuff in this game, though, it seems a bit more buggy than previous AC's.

 %99 of the kill animations Connor is able to do. We can use snare too which im going to try now

You know, I thought some of the things I was experiencing were bugs, but they ended up being by design. For instance, Artisans in your homestead don't really start leveling up until around sequence 8/9. Before I got to that point, I was getting really worried that I'd missed something. As it turns out, I just needed to be patient. Oops.

The only actual bug I experienced was during a Hunting Society quest, where a body didn't spawn where it needed to. I ran around like crazy, thinking I wouldn't be able to finish the quest. I left the area and returned later, to find the body spawned correctly the second time.

There have been a couple of other things I worried about, too, but they seem to be intentional. For instance, when you're out in the frontier, there are 3 General Stores that don't show up on your map until you a). find it, and . walk inside.

I think the advice you're taking could probably be stretched a bit. My advice would be to do the homestead quests when you see them, and once you find an underground tunnel location in Boston (and later, New York), explore the whole underground network. There are some fun little puzzles inside, and once you find all of the exits, you'll have a ton of fast travel points available to you. It makes getting around a whole lot less tedious.

Most of the stuff in Frontier are not showing on map till you got really near them, especially general stores. I relaized there are two stores more after completing tthe game

Listen to the Dorky Talks Podcast covering Assassin's Creed 3, featuring ME! YOUR FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD PRINCEY PRINCE.

Dorky Talks- Assassins Creed III

First 30 minutes are spoiler free, then we unload with spoilers everywhere. Have fun, tell me what you thought!

[LPPrince]

So, having tons of fun with the game, I got every achievement barring two thus far.

The first being to 100% the main mission constraints, the second being to 100% all grid tracker entries(that one will take FOREVER).

Might as well.

[LPPrince]

Okay, let me revise that.

Might as well, UNTIL Dragonborn.

Really enjoying the game but I have to say, it's a very buggy game. The controls and UI is also horrible. This game was definitely rushed. I'm not sure how that's possible with three years to work on something like this.

Connor's story was great. Desmond's felt like he was a side character as usual. While you actually get to play as him more in this game than any previous AC game, I still never felt that Desmond is the main character. The entire end of the world plot and the Deus Ex Machina ending was bad. Very cheap way from the writing to give resolution to his story and then slap you in the face with a massive cliffhanger.  I was happy they did mention Lucy several times in this game and Desmond deals with his guilt. I found it incredibly annoying they didn't even mention her character in Revelations and it was probably because of budget cuts on Kirsten Bell. That's likely why they wrote her character off. The Revelations DLC gives you mention about her being a Templar and that short letter completely butchered her character.

Connor, on the other hand, has an outstanding story and I really enjoyed seeing him mature into a man. I loved the shades of grey between the Templars and his father. Some relationships were rather awkward though. Especially when he first meets his father.

I would say this is the best AC game but I'm going to hold AC2 higher than AC3 simply from the experience alone. AC2 blew me away. A lot of glaring flaws in AC3 held it back from topping AC2 in every way. Tons of bugs, horrible UI(what the hell were they thinking with the convoy UI), bad controls(chase scenes!), and I felt like I was stabbed in the heart with Desmond's story. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that ending and figure out what the hell happened.

I've always enjoyed the symbolism in the AC games and AC3 is no exception. Did anyone notice the references to the Freemasons in this game? I'm starting to grow really tired of the mystery angle they throw on the first civilization too. Can we get an entire game devoted to them please? I'd love to see the next AC game deviate away from the traditional known human history and explore the first civilization. Although, I really love the historic eras I go through in the AC games.

Lastly, the soundtrack is woefully forgettable. I couldn't believe this. Five minutes into the game and I knew it was clear Jesper Kyd didn't do the AC3 soundtrack. AC is known for amazing music and AC3 really failed in this area. I think soundtrack only has two memorable songs and that's about it. I miss Jesper already...

8/10. A few patches with all the bug/UI/control issues and I think it will be a 9/10 game. Getting 100% sync on some missions was freaking annoying and it was mostly the controls being exposed(looking at you chase sequences).

Can't say I agree with all of that, Deuce. Some easily(different strokes of course) but at least from my perspective-

-Definitely not rushed
-Kristen Bell wasn't in Revelations or AC3 because she was signed on for three games(originally AC1, 2, and 3, but became AC1, 2, and Brotherhood) so they had to write her off
-Soundtrack is definitely not forgettable

Though on the soundtrack, I may associate the songs better once I really take a look at the track names. I can do so with some AC2 songs because that soundtrack was amazing(favorite track still being Chariot Chase).

My friend felt that way. I felt the opposite. I was extremely pissed off about ME3's ending, yet I find AC3's acceptable.

Probably because I felt Shepard was my character and I defined him, while with Desmond he was never my character and he made his own decisions.

I can't do that.

Not just because I spent five games playing Desmond but because ownership doesn't give characters a pass to me. Like say the Joker's Five-Way Revenge, which is considered one of the more classic old school Joker stories.

At one point in the story Joker has a hostage and tells Batman he'll let the hostage go if Batman gets into a shark tank (this makes slightly more sense in the comic). Batman shrugs and gets into the shark tank without even planning on how to get out. This is stupid. Not only does the Joker throw the hostage into the shark tank too (Batman even gets the anvil-headed line "But you promised!") but it's just stupid no matter how you slice it.

In AC3's ending Juno's standing where Joker is and is holding the world hostage. When she says "kill yourself so I can get free of this super computer and control the world or most of the world will be flash fried" Desmond just shrugs and jumps into the shark tank.

This is stupid.

The biggest difference here, of course, is that the writer for The Joker's Five-Way Revenge didn't think he was some ultra-cool edgy artist and end it with Batman dying in the shark tank. Batman got out and stopped the Joker from killing again. Desmond just dies and we're supposed to like how a character's final action in the story and life was to act all kinds of stupid.

I don't like it.

[Foolsfolly]

And the soundtrack is bad, Deuce.

Some relationships were rather awkward though. Especially when he first meets his father.

That scene's fantastic! I'm going off memory here but it's something like:

Dad- "Oh, Connor. That's a shame. Do you have any final words before I kill you?"
Connor- "Wait."
Dad- "Those are poor final words."

I love and I mean love like he's the best thing in the entire game love Connor's dad.

That's because you perceived Desmond's decision as stupid while the writers were hoping you'd perceive it as a sacrifice for the greater good.

Thats my guess at least. Writers can't count on people thinking like they do, ex- ME3's trash endings.

[LPPrince]

Haytham Kenway? Best part of AC3?

I can get behind that.

I was going to get it on PC and I'm sure my experience would be a lot better on there. But Ubisoft screwed PC gamers again, so I just got it on PS3. Something I loathe doing because PS3 games are almost always the inferior ports. I literally see grass growing before my eyes. It's painful to see. Pop-up every two feet, HORRIBLE shadows, graphical glitches galore, tons of bugs/glitches I've noticed, yea.

Hope they don't screw PC gamers with the FC3 port too...

On the AC3 ending, it's bad. No if ands or buts about that. If you hated the ME3 ending and then liked AC3's ending, then I don't know what to say. Not only is it a mess(without going into spoilers) but it's the very definition of Deus Ex Machina. At least ME3 established a god device 5 minutes into the game, so it couldn't come out of nowhere. The decision was just stupid. I felt like I played five games for this? Really?

I guess if somebody had very low expectations for the AC3 ending they couldn't be mad. That makes sense to me. Just proves to me when a fanbase doesn't have any emotional attachment to story/characters, they don't care. This ending is infinitely worse than ME3's ending...

I don't have too many problems on 360. I hope you don't either if you get it on another platform.

[deuce985]

I find it funny how much the AC writers throw a lot of modern conspiracies wrapped into the story. You could associate the first civilization with the Ancient Astronaut theory, something mainstream science doesn't acknowledge. Obviously December 21st 2012 is the Mayan calendar ending and solar flares on the sun is very controversial right now. It's in the peak and some believe Earth's magnetic field is weakening. A powerful well-placed flare can put Earth back into the stone age. A bad solar flare hit in the late 1800s and wiped out telegraphs. Difference is, we're in a digital age now where everything is built on computers/satellites. We have no protection against flares.

I'm wondering if Ubisoft kept the scalping code in the files for the PC version. If they did, I'm buying the game again just for that feature they removed on console. Means if they have it in the code, you can mod it into the game on PC.

[Puzzlewell]

Hello gang. I just wanted to chime in and say that I completed the game the other day and quite honestly I adored it. Now as for the controversial ending I am a little torn myself. I found it fascinating for the most part but I do feel the final scene could have used a bit more emotion (Rebecca and Shaun doing or saying nothing kind of bothered me). I mean sure time was of the essence and they were doing what Desmond told them but even a little flinch or goodbye would have made it even better for me. The ending did not make me angry or anything, the cliffhanger I felt was intriguing and I look forward to seeing where they run with this.

I absolutely adored the Homestead missions. Those warmed my heart completely (well the last one made me cry but still, amazing). I know the game had its issues but all-in-all I am very happy with it.

[LPPrince]

I think the lot of us are happy with it. I hope so at least.

[Puzzlewell]

Which is a huge breath of fresh air. I looked around a few other boards and a lot of it was really venomous. To each their own of course but it makes me feel better looking at this topic and seeing for the most part that you folks are quite happy with the game.

[LPPrince]

Pfft, I don't see what there is to be venomous of. People hate to hate, I guess.

Anywho, I collected all the Almanac pages and then crafted all of Franklin's inventions.

Cool little detail was that my Animus Database reached 100% when I got them all, so YAY.

Next I'll be liberating districts and simultaneously leveling up my assassin recruits while doing something else like collecting feathers or opening chests.

[deuce985]

I want that Target pre-order outfit. As it stands, Achilles Assassin Outfit is the best looking in the game currently. Ezio and Altair robes look weird on Connor...
