I'm the opposite. The Haytham stuff is interesting and fun and once you switch to Connor it becomes a slog and one of the worst AC games. But even if they'd gone with one or the other, it's one of the worst by default because it's the one that ruined the controls, of course.
So they're covering the Switch version in the next week...
This two-month wait seems more ridiculous knowing that, but I guess it'll be nice to know if the version's good before I put £30 down on it.

They just have to get 1 remastered and then the gangs all here.
Syndicate..
Not showing poor Syndicate any love? :(

Small animation mistake here. Haytham doesn't have a pivot blade. Otherwise AC3 really did have some of the best animation blending from last gen.

That's a lot of Ass.

*laughs in Xbox One backwards compatibility*
Also I really hope that's not the icon for the Switch version, but I guess it's probably going to be.

If I wanted to play a trash version I could just play the PC version. No, I want a remaster so they can modernize it a bit.
Syndicate is too good to be neglected like this.

They need to test the frame rate on the frontier because it's bad.

For a time period I have zero interest in it's never been on sale for a low enough price. I only got Unity because I got it for I think $4.
Both of those games really fucked with the modern day and that is a crucial element of these games for me.
I definitely agree with that; the animations still hold up very well with today's standards in my opinion. I know this one is better suited to Connor's tomahawk, but just appreciating it. :P
It's a whopping 65 GBs on PS4. The PC version is listed as requiring 44 GBs, but they said that would be the size of the PS4 version too so i'm not sure how accurate it is.
The original release file was 44GB, the day one patches were around 20 GB+ though.
Yeah, 44GB for the PC version is also incorrect, but not by much: the actual install size is 48.36GB.
Spoiler tagging this just in case someone's going through the series for the first time and hasn't played the later games:
I won't defend how the two games handled the modern storyline's implementation, but I do think the story that Syndicate told was pretty decent. We finally got to see Galina a bit in a game, and there were some pretty good moments with the characters (namely Rebecca and Shaun, of course). Plus, those two finally got to put their skills to the test at the end. I also thought the moment where Shaun opened up about Desmond was touching. It's just a shame that Ubisoft kind of dropped everything that the game was building up to in favor of that fucking comic series and the crap we've gotten in Origins and Odyssey...
... Also, ugh, why the fuck haven't Shaun and Rebecca been in the last few games? :( I'm just making myself sad about the recent state of the series now. I'm gonna shut up now.

This is one of the buggiest games I have ever played.
My only AC experience to date is Origins and Odyssey (both of which I got 100% on) so this is incredibly difficult to play and get into. The story also makes NO sense to me.

AC3 is the final part of a five-game arc, from back when the games had a heavy overarching narrative that carried from one game to the next in a meaningful way. Why Ubi tried to tie this to Odyssey confuses me, because it really is from a different era of the series in a lot of ways, and also because it really doesn't try to fill you in on a lot of the specifics from previous games, instead assuming (aside from the short opening scene) that you know things like who Desmond is and who this Lucy person they keep talking about was. At the time this game came out originally, those were things that people who had played at least some of the series were familiar with, but for anyone who jumped in afterwards, I can see why it would be confusing.
I'd recommend reading the in-game database entries to learn more about the story and the context of a lot of it.
Syndicate is easily one of the best AC games and I will forever miss the rope launcher.
It fixed all the bullshit from Unity. The story isn't super exciting but compared to Unity's absolutely horrendously stupid characters it's great.

Had to a do a double take, was wondering how I forgot I posted a screenshot of my AC folder to Era lol. Running the exact same theme right now and my folder looks identical except for me having Rogue in place of Syndicate!

Good to hear because I am playing through Unity for my first time right now and its the worst AC game I have played.
Someone who allegedly worked on AC: Liberation Remastered posted this on the Digital Foundry video. Seems like the projects were handled separately due to running on different engines. Hopefully in a month or two once the remasters get some patches and the Switch version is available, we can get a comprehensive teardown of both games. They really did put a lot of work into these, and it's kinda thankless. I do notice that Liberation Remastered doesn't seem to have the facial lighting problems that AC3 Remastered does.

You like Assassin's Creed, don't you?
I have to agree. I almost skipped out on Syndicate because I thought Unity was so bad. I'm glad I bought it when it was on sale on Uplay because I enjoyed it a lot. It fixed the issues I had with Unity.
I'm getting sucked into it, again. Lighting is working for me more than it isn't. This was a really nice freebie with Odyssey Gold.
I'm really liking the story this time around tbh. Just disable as much of the HUD as you can (it's playable without minimap) and take it at literal face value, it's a very competently told through gameplay tale.
If it had been better visually directed, as in, say, RDR2 Style, it'd probably be a classic.

I sunk a few more hours into it today. Got to Chapter 4 in the frontier and have been having a blast running around collecting everything. Say what you want about the faces but running around in the frontier with the new lighting is incredible. And the animations of Connor are still amazing to this day.
Yeah it's strange that they would get different counts, especially by that large of a margin.
All the ones in the prologue and sequence 1 were blinding white for me. Changed to non-offensive black ones once haytham got to Boston. My biggest complaint seems to have been fixed.
(Noticed this game wigs out when you resume it from system sleep. No in game sound until you restart the game.)
