Assassin's Creed III: Liberation |OT| VITA LA REVOLUTION
- Thread starter OmegaZero
- Start date
Look inside or above things.
Fund one in a tree stump and I'm pretty sure another is on top of a tree (I'm trying to get to it as I type this).
Can't find the one in SE New Orleans. It's supposed to be in/near the blockage in the road.
Also, dem fucking obstacle courses. Just started this mission where you have to pass 11 signals in 1 minute. It seems easy, but like every AC game, the assassin doesn't always listen...especially when you're doing everything super quick
So frustrating.
OT: Does anyone know the unique slave collectable? I know the assassin can gather coins from thieves and the lady can charm for gems.

kotaku's review is surprisingly positive.

Picked these up today:
Going to jump into it after I finish ZoE and VLR.

Spent the entire day on ACIII, so I figured I'd give Liberation a run again. The persona switching feels tedious, I think I take back my word on wishing the same system was implemented in ACIII. Running in the Lady persona took a long-ass time.
I like that the same melee and climbing system as ACIII was implemented. Really makes the transition between console and handheld a lot easier. The animations seem almost recycled from Connor's and Ezio's, which is fine.
Touch controls have been minimal. So far, all I've done is do one chain kill and open a letter (swiping the top of both front and back was awesome).
The game looks pretty damn good. The city doesn't feel as "alive" as Boston in ACIII, but there's a fair amount of NPCs consistently in the area to be "close enough".
Framerate dips aren't really something I pay attention to, but there were a couple of moments in the game, where I couldn't ignore it.
I'm not too far into the game, but I wish there were bonus episodic content. I'd pay for them.

From the OP:
Preorder Bonus - By preordering Assassins Creed III: Liberation at select locations and websites, you get access to the
Mysteries of the Bayou pack. This unlocks several items within the game: the Ceremonial Dagger, the Alligator Hunter hat,
an upgraded Poison Dart pouch, and the Makendal Bodyguard multiplayer character.
That's for Europe, announced on Gamescom.
None of the NA retailers had this...AFAIK

Game Cards are the slightest bit faster than the Memory Cards.
sequence 1: meh, kinda sucked. lets you do basic/boring missions. not used to the frequent dips of FPS. feeling meh about the game
sequence 2: nice, less crowded area, fps is better. doing more interesting stuff.
sequence 3: hell yes, fps drops don't really bother me too much now. doing real missions where there are major events and shit, yessss. story is picking up as well!
sequence 4 tomorrow. really improving as im going along. i like the game and there seems to be alot of side stuff to do. it's gorgeous but man the fps dips are annoying as hell but i can tolerate them now. it just sucks because when i hop on the roof and want to run around as fast as possible -- i usually get dips and feels slow motion-ish. still a great game tho, happy with the purchase.
looking at my stats under options, the total time played seems to be off for me. anyone else?

Do you guys find it somewhat surprising that the reviews out there are not really discussing the terrible audio?
After finishing sequence 2 last night, I am enjoying the game, but can't help to be bothered by all these technical issues that should never have been there in the first place.

How?
How?!

Not that the Story is that excellent, the MP just seems kinda...bland. Not even a background story like the console titels.

So the multiplayer is basically like the mediteranean defense in revelations?
I've been having problems with the Story mode... had to let myself get killed and restart the game on multiple occasions... and the story is going at too fast of a place for me to follow the plot. There is not enough exposition to understand the relationships between the characters. I wish there were more cutscenes to ground it all.
As for the multiplayer, outside of it being attached to this game this is something I would have loved to have on my phone. It is basically "MMO-Risk". I don't know if it would have been a game worth more than $1 on a phone, but I would have gladly paid for it.

Picked this up yesterday. The graphics definitely have the same "wow" factor as Uncharted: GA. I'd say it even looks better. The missions so far have been pretty meh, mostly just introducing the various mechanics, but it really feels like a console assassin's creed game which is just so cool.
Also nice to see that touch was seemingly well implemented. As much as I love the vita's design, though, I really don't like the rear touchpad. It's always awkward.
Edit: God dayum the white vita is sexy. Almost wish I had waited for it.

I just spent like 50 energy so I agree, the MP is kinda fun. I just think they could have done more with the Risk concept. It feels kinda rushed. Maybe they'll add stuff, maybe not. A small story, some customization etc would've been great

I hate to be the guy to say this, but I think I like Kotaku's emergency layout better than most recent game sites remodels.

Astroturf. Got to keep it clean.
They most likely were given a PSN copy to download and didn't want to comment on compression that may not be in the retail SKU.
It sometimes sounds better than other times, depending on the music. The voices are very compressed, but they have been in every Asscrud. AC1 had the awful townie voices. HES GOING TO HURT HIMSELF AND WHEN HE DOES I WONT HELP HIM :throughradio
I am going to start over,I am not that far in anyway...the Vita being new for me,it took a while to get use to the controls,I made some dumb mistake like buying something from a burglar that I thought I was stealing from,did some fighting while in the Lady persona,and wasn't feeling the flow of things...now that I dont struggle with the camera and all,I will enjoy it more starting fresh because I like Aveline,she is a cool character from the 2 hours or so I played...
You buy it and it asks if you want to equip it. Choose yes.
You can find the hood in those stores that are marked on your map as spools of thread.
That particular sound bite cracked me up so much because it was so wonderfully vindictive.
I don't like the fact that the people in the streets all speak French. Probably accurate, but I don't remember the city residents in AC games speaking in their native tongue.
Played a couple of hours of AC3 today and the difference in presentation is night and day. That said, jeez these games take a long time to get started.
Pause->database->tutorials or the digital manual which is the '?' sign on the live area when you are about to play the game.
After you counter, I think you press X to make them drop their weapon.

I came into work today (post Sandy) and I'm having AC3:L withdraws, I'm really excited to get home and pick it back up.
I killed my first alligator last night

Yes, it's normal.
The Animus has a lot of bugs
You can say that again.
I've encountered at least 10 bugs that made me restart the game, and I'm in sequence 2.
Off the top of my head:
-Jumped off of a building onto the ground, but couldn't move because Aveline was stuck in the falling animation.
-Jumped off of a tall tree and died, but the game didn't restart.
-Got into a tussle with guards only to find that I couldn't attack or move. They didn't attack either although they did circle around me.
-Landed on a tree branch only to find that Aveline was stuck in the crouching position. I couldn't drop down or do an unsafe jump.
And some of these happened more then once.
Waiting for the Animus 3.1 patch.
