Another episode of Zero Punctuation, another week of Life I can trudge through.
Thank you Yahtzee, for giving me the will to continue.

AC1 sucked balls, it was the most repetitive thing since buttering bread and painting fences.

The series only got better and better after that. Yes fair enough ac3 was a bit of a history lesson which is gonna make most of england hate it and anyone under the age of 21 due to the worldwide infection of ADHD.


"oh look at at me all i wanna do is repeatedly stab different people in the exact same way".

Because that is so much fun.

Anyway, first review i dislike from yahtzee. I want it to win GOTY but we all know whats going to take that apple.


Anyway bring on hitman absolution. Maybe his multitude of guns might fix no stabby stabby withdrawal symptoms.

How can anyone take this guy seriously when he drones on and on about military shooters being generic and praises the games of old like doom yet trashes serious sam 3 and bulletstorm for DOING WHAT HE WANTS!? He's like a spoiled rich child screaming for attention hating everything popular when he gets everything handed to him as is.

He hates EVERYTHING simply for the sake of hating it. I'm so sick of him, he reminds me of a spoiled self entitled brat who thinks every game should be made to his specific tastes for the WEEK before he changes his mind again by getting distracted and entralled by something else more shiny. It's even worse he uses the old school thing to garner favoritism from his fans and then turns around and trashes the games like them for lack of innovation to garner favoritism from the OTHER crowd.

Your not an old school gamer yahtzee, your not even a gamer. Your everything that is WRONG with the industry. And I've had enough of you and I have no idea how you managed to get this far with your web of lies.

It seems they learned nothing from the last 2 games, instead of expanding the free-running, stabbing and stealth... they added boring game mechanics and set the game in the most boring part of history with uninteresting assassin character... its painful to see that even future Desmond got a better storyline.

He actually liked Serious Sam 3 and some parts of Bulletstorm, except that Bulletstorm added boring elements that only hampered the old school shooter formula. Like Jam smearing on the screen, cover based combat, regeneration health and having to press a extra key to move fast... and that Serious Sam 3 didn't do much to revolutionize the genre like Painkiller did. Anyways, any guy who holds Painkiller up as a great example of a FPS must have good taste.
If you don't enjoy him ripping games apart, than perhaps critique isn't your form of entertainment... and perhaps you should put fingers in your ears and live on mars.

This game feels like it has taken inspiration from Lionhead studios.

ie: "you can, but why would you want to" side quests.

The thing that was the funniest about this review for me was the end...
Hey strange hooded knife-covered man on a bench did you happen to see a strange hooded knife-covered man run through here

I stopped with the series after finishing the second game. If a game is going to hold my hand the whole way along and not offer any challenge...well, then that has stopped being a game to me and borders on work.

It seems like Yahtzee is implying that Americans made AC3.

I know America is the bestest country evar and have invented almost everything great in the last 600 years, but we gotta give this one to Canadian and France.
Also: stop stealing our bit. Only Americans get to steal credit for things. We don't need help.

And I had no idea that so many people had seen Brain Dead. Nice.

It was fun for a while but once I got through with the main story I didn't really care about the game. Still find myself playing brotherhood for some reason. Still see multiplayer as pointless and repetitive, probably why Yahtzee never bothered to mention it.

why the american revolution? seriously, why? WHY!? there are plenty of historical periods ripe for sneaky freerunning murder, or not-so-sneaky murder, the cold war (all the fancy gadgets supervillians on both sides and intrigue you can think of and then some with only teensy historical tweaks needed to make it murderific-and solve the mystery of who really killed JFK (you)), a ninja in... really any historical period of japan (wasnt this hinted at in the thing at the end of the first game? that and aztecs?) ancient egypt/greece(egypt AND greece?)/rome/anywhere with distinctive architecture, cities, and lots of murder?

He made it to Assassins creed 3!!! Further than me! I gave up 1/2 way through the first assassination mission in Assassins Creed 1 cause... Well hell. The game is boring. Not much of a game if it's boring. So I traded it in.

Disappointed that Yahtzee has gone off the Assassins Creeed franchise, he seemed to really enjoy the earlier games.

I am yet to play it but have every intention to do so! Great review regardless

I'm glad someone else pointed out one fact.

Ubisoft montreal and Quebec developed the game. Ubisoft Published it which resides in France.

Oh, I know. It's fun to jump on America because why not! It's America. Also, look into your own nation's closets before answering that but... Yeah, we didn't do this. It's nice that they focused on us. The French Revolution does sound more interesting. Hell, Crank it up to Eleven in four and make it a Vietnamese man taking out the Viet cong. That would be awesome. One man guerrilla warfare diving from trees and climbing them to take out the Cong? Nice.

But once again. Quebec and France. Not us.

AssCreed 3: Faff-fall.

OT: Why is money always an issue in these games? Yahtzee mentions it in every review.
Come on Ubisoft >_>
They're hoping that by putting it in the game, you'll sympathize with them

Funnily enough, AC3 is my top game of the year..I guess some people don't see what I do.
Wouldn't say it's my top game (that spot so far is taken by Halo 4) However it's up there with Transformers Fall Of Cybertron, Pokemon B2, and Most Wanted. Sure you end up with loads of money during the game, but that's the same with the last 3 instalments, but unlike the others i haven't found one glitch/bug at all, and Connor jumps EXACTLY where i want him to, unlike Ezio ¬_¬
