The Assassin's Creed 3 Dichotomy - The Rageaholic 

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Digging that intro music.

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.

You should review Assasins creed Origins.

The opening was pretty amazing.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

One of your best, RazorFist. I still can't believe how much praise this game received when it was released.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

2:09 RIP Touchdown Jesus

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

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

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

I seriously needed this. Cheers, RazorFist.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Haven't watched the video yet, but damn 0:06 made me laugh hard. Watched it about three times now. I love kusoge.

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

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.

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

fantastic video.

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

What is the picture at 4:27?

Nice work, I really like your reviews.

I love all your dog footage!

Lol Vita's sales figures. Nice.

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

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.

Hi Razorfist, i hope you will review DmC too

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

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

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

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

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.

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).

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

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?

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

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?

Well forgive me for not noticing then! Anyway, I like it, this show keeps getting better and better. :D

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

I know right? I feel your pain мой друг.

That scene from the beginning? Happened to me in a town. Fuck ASC3.

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.

Ha. Vita. I still can't believe that thing exists.

wow great video

This game was more frustration than actual fun.

You know what else didn't need naval warfare? Sonic Rush Adventure; the fuck was the point of that in a game meant to be about speed and blowing up robots? Maybe Mario will do it next.

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?

Why is traversal slow? Silly Razorfist. The longer it takes you to get AROUND a game environment, the bigger it FEELS. Fast movement means building an ACTUAL FUCKING WORLD.

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

not to mention they got lazy with the weapon animations, he used the dagger like he was using the hatchet! The dagger wasn't even hitting the guy for fucks sake!

5:09 ....ok i need and explanetion,what the hell am i seeing?

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

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.

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

Blood Omen 1 is pain in the ass to get to work on modern OS. Try getting version for PSX or atleast emulate it. Other games from the series are available on gog.

amen, games was buggy as hell. I also thought the whole home building, hunting, aspect wad kind of stupid

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

I was burned out from the series after the first game.

Are you ready? SUCK IT! Awesome Degeneration X reference!

One thing I would like to know is what you earn your money with? With level of proficiency in the english language you should not be living to shabbily?

i agree. especially the language T_T i loved altair and ezio like 2 minutes into the games, but AC3 is some deep shit. my ears were about to bleed when i heard the native language

Agree 100% about ACIII.

I feel like Metallica's 'Creeping Death' would be the song for Assassin's Creed, commercial though they are.

So skyrim and Fallout 3 and New vegas were even more buggy but still Fantastic games
