Assassin's Creed III: Liberation |OT| VITA LA REVOLUTION
- Thread starter OmegaZero
- Start date
Got 3 at launch and been playing it ever since, Liberation came in the mail earlier and I put it in...
Liberation is better. It could be more polished but in the end I found it more interesting than 3. I mean they are both AC3, but they are different.
Yes.
wow the voices are terrible, they sound like from very old radio, lol
hope there will be another patch fixing it. I don't even want to know how did it sound before the first one.
Overal nice game so far, some fighting glitches like standing dead guys, blade killings from distance, etc are anoying, but well..
uhh not very polished...and rushed IMHO...

I'm not feeling this, but to be fair I never liked the whole series much. What keeps disappointing me are Vita's graphics. The graphics are very complex, and in that sense they are only comparable to other Vita games, not other mobile game is on par... but several handhelds games beat it in the IQ department and, like in UC:GA, such evident flaws brings down the whole presentation several notches for me. So much that I can't call the graphics "good". :/ Just imagine how good games can look if Vita's build upon the great advancements found in mobile engines instead of down-scaling from console graphics.
As to which is better, this or Ac3... I haven't played Ac3 but I played the original and AC2. This is seems so far to aim to a much lower scope since the start. This is expected, but I can't agree with people that state that this game is superior to Ac3 if it has any of the qualities of the previous games. A similar situation with UC:GA for me.

AC2 is still the best AC.

I'm confused by both the trading system and the multiplayer, anyone got any pointers? Loving this game so fa btw, and 3...this years AC showing is much stronger and more interesting.

I just killed four dudes and then four dudes automatically popped up back in their place as if I'd never killed anyone.
After watching a few AC3 streams, I could almost say that both games were rushed out a little too early to meet the Oct 30th date.
As for the "best AC" discussion. Uhm... The one that was most fun to play was Brotherhood for me. But in terms of setting/atmosphere/story, AC2 was probably my favourite.

I am really enjoying it so far... it looks great (though it could really use the full resolution of the Vita... Sony needs to force this or something) and plays pretty damn good too. The visuals while great, aren't as good as they should be, but I'll take it. I love having full control and the complete AC experience while I am laying down in bed; it doesn't feel watered down at all. The sound is a bit of an issue, but I notice this is one of those few games that sounds better without headphones that with. Not a fix, but it helps. Hopefully they patch it and maybe patch some of the random glitches people have been mentioning. I haven't really noticed much myself, but we'll see.
All in all, this is a good first effort from Ubisoft. There is definitely room for improvement, but in terms of gameplay, they did a good job.

Just had a pretty serious bug:
In one of the early missions when I had to "protect" somebody, the controls didn't prompt, so I couldn't counter or kill the person. All I could do was punch. I fought for 10 minutes wondering why the thug wouldn't die. I decided to run away, animus desynched, restarted, and now the controls are as they should be and I can fight properly. :/

I have a bugged dressing room in my game. I can't purchase it, and when I try to, the screen turns black and continues as though I can see normally. Have to restart the game to fix it lol.. pretty bizarre. Hoping it fixes itself in the next sequence, so that I can finally purchase all dressing rooms.

oh great, game gets fun after you finish the dullass sequence 1.
really love moving through trees. Can't wait to check out 3 next month.
Is it just me, or is high profile mode... pretty unresponsive?
I thought my R trigger was busted, but it works fine in other games.
Like sometimes she's running along... then suddenly starts walking... then runs again

I honestly don't have much interest in the game, but that white Vita is pretty cool. Kind of wish I waited for this bundle.
Some plot stuff I was wondering about:
The worst part is
And, lastly
Why did Aveline's mother warn for Agaté? Once you got to him, he had no interest in the artefact. Also, after killing your stepmother and Agaté, where the hell is she? Also, the first time you meet your mother, she just disappears after the cutscène, it felt kinda rushed
The worst part is
the stepmother though. That really feels like they added it last minute. Just think about it. If they made anyone else the bad guy, the stepmother could just have been...a normal stepmother who likes to help poor slaves, like any normal mother would. Same thing for the guy in the Connor mission. Sure, it *works* but it just doesn't work for me
And, lastly
Did anyone feel like Aveline sometimes made "puppet choices", like she made choices you didn't agree at all with. I never had that feeling with Ezio and Altair, they always did wat they thought was right. Aveline though, some of her choices made me go "goddamn, I do not agree. Why would you do that..
Pro tip for anyone new to the game. There is a sort of cheat i discovered accidentally
if you feel like you are in the wrong persona for the area you are in and the game agrees, when you restart checkpoint it auto changes you to that persona
:\

There isn't any penalty for just stabbing everyone right?
Everyone shoving me around always seem to end up dead

I would hope they address the compressed sounds and sound glitches with a patch. Consider it the equivalent of an HD texture patch.

well not aside from the bits you are not allowed to do that
guys i seriously am getting no issues with the sound. Are you on gamecards? because im on a PSN DL

I have the DL too. Sometimes, I hear some kind of quality loss. Not sure if that's just the Vita speakers quality or the thing everyone is mentioning/
The first week-long multiplayer round ended a few minutes ago. Red won, but I'm not sure if there is any way you would know this unless you knew where things stood just before it happened.
The entire map went Grey, and everything is up for claim.
I was sad to see that all my character skill ranks reset... But at least I kept all my assassins. And I was finally able to claim my geographical location as my home for a point boost.
I enjoyed the multiplayer more when I thought I could only log in every 30 min and perform one action per character... but since you can repeatedly attack, it takes about 20 minutes to extinguish all my energy. :/ So it lost a lot of its charm once I realized how long it takes to perform all your actions.

so the stats are totally messed up
apparently i have been playing for 31 mins and travels over 20k's
I have been playing for at least 3.5 hours lols
Im enjoying it. Got all the view points in the main town and the swamp. Still on sequence 3 only lol. I like to explore in these games.
However it seems to stick to the grand old AC tradition of missions going from totally pointless and strange to awesome and cinematic. Its like the missions were made by different people and they didnt communicate with each other at all lol.

Got to play a bit more of the game last night, maybe another two hours or so, and I'm really loving it. Not much more to say about it, really. It's Assassin's Creed, and if it's not your thing, this game, I don't think, is going to make it your thing.
I really like Aveline as a character, and the graphics are really impressive as well. I haven't had terrible performance issues for the most part. Negligible frame drops. The audio didn't seem god awful either, maybe because I'm playing with headphones? I don't know, but it didn't bother me.
Little bugs and glitches here and there, but it's kind of expected, I guess.
As one of the Vita's first open world games, it's pretty damn impressive. Honestly, I'm impressed with the Vita's first year period. I have a lot of games to play, and still more to buy (Zero Escape, Ragnarok Odyssey, Ratchet: FFA, etc). I'm glad I bit the bullet and picked this one up. I'm not disappointed so far, and I doubt I will be.

Guys, how the eff do you pickpocket? I get its the rear touch pad but what motion is it?
TwoDurans
"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Supposed to be up and down, but it seems rather hit or miss for me.
Press L to go into precision mode. This causes a nearby civilian to get highlighted. Go near them and slowly move a finger up or down the rear touchpad.
EDIT: If someone sees you or if your target sees you, your pickpocketing attempt will get cut off.
You can tell that you've been spotted if people are looking at you while shaking their fists or crossing their arms.

Hold L and point the pointer at the target, than slowly move your right finger from top to bottom, if you do it right you can steal 3 things i believe. Make sur eyou are close enough of course as sometimes you can be just out of reach.

IIRC, Posters are for the Slave Persona. Lady Persona has witnesses that need killin'

I see what you did there.
Look for eye icons. Those are witnesses that saw you do notorious things. Kill them silently to lower your notoriety.
Isn't "where ya at" a New Orleans-ism?
(I actually don't want to hear any familiar New York or Boston slang in AC3 because most of what we think of as classic only dates from the last 150 years.)
IIRC, press the [] button and the analog stick toward the next person you want to kill.
It can only be done after a successful counter kill, I think.
Unless you're talking about the Chain Kill ability, where you press right on the analog stick to stop time and then touch the enemies you want dead.

Hmm, this is what I've been trying to do, but it never seems to work, Aveline just attacks like normal whenever I try. Combat in general seems really, really glitchy though.
I just tried it, and it seems to work.
Press the analog stick toward the enemy and press square at the same time after a counter kill.
Welp, my game is officially dead.
Redownloading the entire thing and starting from scratch now. Luckily, I have a lot of trophies and I don't have to redo all the sidequests and stuff.
Worst part though, I was one mission (first mission act 9) short of 100% sync. It's ok though, since the game is very easy, although I'm not looking forward to some of the annoying ones. It's a real bummer, since I was still updating the trophy guide, and I was in the top 10 with most trophies. I'll lose my spot now for sure.
I do wish I could skip cutscenes though.
