Assassin's Creed 3 has always been my favorite and my childhood despite so many glitches and bugs. Connor has been my favorite character. People say he's emotionless but he's not. He's a hero and the best Assassin ever. I love Assassin's Creed 3 a lot and it's the best Assassin's Creed game ever.
Something I really liked about this game are the assassin recruits and how they gave them more character than just a faceless foot soldier. You can even have conversations about their life and how they got to be in the colonies which is always a joy to hear. One thing that shocked me was that one of the recruits named Duncan was actually the little boy that haythem met at the theater when he assassinated his grandfather. It makes me sad that they were never used more in missions and in the story as they had some good potential for more interactions with Conner and how he had to build up the brotherhood in the colonies agian.
I love one of their abilities where they go in disguise as soldiers with Connor playing the role of the prisoner. Really takes the Second Tenet to a whole new level.
@jmal I learned the hard way: make sure if you’re in a Patriot controlled area that you target a Patriot before using it. I believe the recruits default to Redcoat disguises which gets you attacked in those areas.
Best game in the franchise. By far the most nuanced and complex narratively. People get mad at Connor saying he’s badly written because he doesn’t express his emotions in such obvious ways as Ezio, but truthfully, it’s some of the most subtle character writing in videos game history. He truly is a fascinating example of stoicism, and fortitude. Meanwhile, the game itself is outstandingly ahead of its time with the quintessential experience during the American Revolution. It’s a long sweeping story that makes you feel like you are really living through both the Seven years war, and American Revolution. Also it’s the most historically accurate game on the franchise both on a narrative level, and more impressively, on a world level. It breaks my heart that Black Flag took the potential this game built and burned it to the ground to create an Ezio like pirate simulator. The platoons, the variations to the different unit types, the tree running, the sequences where you are locked into a specific area, the bounty system, the very realistically designed cities, the realistic ships and crew, the care taken to make character models, it was all downgraded for Black Flag. I love Black Flag, it was the first ac game I played and it made me fall in love with the franchise, but sadly it wasted all the potential ac three established aside from naval combat. Even ship boarding in Black Flag isn’t realistic since you’re fighting entire crews of regulars instead of sailors with a few regulars on board like in ACIII. I don’t want to be too hard on Black Flag because I love the game and I can understand many decisions made, but Rogue has no such excuse. Rogue is the biggest waste of potential in the franchise. My god that games infuriates me because it does so much right, but so much more wrong. If only Rogue was as good as ACIII and ACIV, and a truly great finale to my favorite ac trilogy. It’s frustrating that the most innovative games aside from ACII have so much potential tosses aside for the next game because people never seem to be able to let Ezio go. I love Ezio, but he keeps holding back the franchise.
@@YesNo-yl6ws You know, for a long time I said Brotherhood, Unity, and Three were all tied for number one to me. However, the more I think about ACIII the more I realize that I believe it is the best in the franchise. However, Brotherhood is right behind by a close margin.
@@ScrewthenewhandlesystemI love _ACIII_ as well, not only because of the setting and the gameplay, but also because of Connor as a character. I don't think people don't like Connor because he's not relatable. If anything, he's _too_ relatable. He's had tragedies in his life like most of us, had failures like most of us, and has flaws in his character like most of us. It's to the point that I see myself in Connor, despite not being the same race and ethnicity. That's the sign of a well-written character. While I loved that aspect of his character, most gamers want an escape from reality, that's why they gravitate towards Ezio and his Mary Sue-esque character. _Brotherhood_ and _Revelations_ made him more human when these games showed that he can make fatal mistakes (e.g. the attack on Monteriggioni because he spared Pope Alexander VI) and questionable decisions (e.g. letting Cappadocia burn).
I find I enjoy the Parkour far more in 3 than the Ezio games as well. While there is more freedom in your cancellation timing, I find that the system they used lowers the barrier to entry somewhat while still allowing players the ability to free themselves from the “safe running” by holding Jump or Drop. It just needed some tuning to not get stuck on walls when cornering…
Connor is most deserving of a sequel, this always felt like the beginning of his story. He’s such a good person who finds a way to keep hope alive through the people he cares about. Sees through his father’s lack of faith in humanity and pledges to fight for a better tomorrow, knowing full well the Assassin’s fight will never be over.
I didn’t like Connor at all, felt like he was way too serious to be interesting protagonist. He is a perfect side character but not a good main character material. Ezio had his father, brother and little brother all got hanged front of him and lost everything his family had and lost many more but he always had high spirit and able to live through those sorrows but Connor basically lost his mother due to a fire which was set up inside the tent for some weird reason and thought Lee killed his mother for some reason when he had no evidence he did, and always being rude to every person he met in the city
@@AkagiRedSun this is the same exact thing I hear eveyrone saying and I don’t know how many times people have to explain to you people that dislike Connor I respect your opinion and all but your comment seems as though you never played Ac3, you can’t blame Connor thinking Lee burned down his village the templars Lee was with ambushed Connor and asked Connor where his village was so it is kinda expected for him to think Lee was the cause of death for his mother what did you expect him to think? I like the anger Connor had in him he wasn’t with the Bs and had one goal and was willing to fulfill it, but as the game progresses he seemingly becomes more wiser and it doesn’t come off as emotionless especially if you play the homestead missions
Noah Watts(the voice of Connor) said in the Loomer Assassins Den podcast, that he was a big fan of the games and that the first one really stood out to him. So in order to create Connor he took inspiration from Altair and the performance of Wes Studi in "The Last of The Mohicans", where he played a stone cold brutal native american. Everyone on set said that his performance was outstanding, but deep down he feared that the people wont like a character, who is the complete opposite of Ezio. Noah even found it funny, how the script didn't have a significant other for the main character. The joke of Connor being a virgin must have been really common on set, haha
this was my fist ever ac game ive played, I can still remember not getting past a certain point as a little kid, then years later when de remaster came out I bought it again and man was this nostalgia hitting at its best. this game will always have a special place; alos love your vids bro:)
Which makes me sadder that _Unity_ failed because nobody else has made a video game primarily set in the French Revolution with the level of detail AC is known for. Now Ubisoft is pandering to the lowest common denominator (because of course they do) with Project Red. I'm still hoping that they'll throw their signature curveball and reveal that it's actually set in Meiji Restoration Japan with the "Feudal" part only isolated to a small section of the game, maybe as a prologue or a village untouched by Western civilization, but I'm afraid that's wishful thinking.
I can’t believe I was 6 years old when this game came out and it’s officially been 10 years since it came out and now I am 17 closer to 18 now, it’s just amazing how old ac games look amazing even in today standards, Thank you Master Assassin for making a video about this game birthday, and I hope to be like you as I’m growing my RUclips channel and making Assassins Creed videos
This is definitely one of my new favourites I just recently finished it and I have to say it’s amazing. The story is really interesting, the father son duo is just amazing and those moments were my favourite throughout the whole game, and overall it’s just fun to play through connor’s journey learning the way of the world and seeing an unfair system that needs to be put to a stop is just so great. And so is the Templar conflict 😊
Loved the setting in this game. Really felt like you were there in the founding of this country. The story is just amazing, to meet all those people that you read about and to be apart of history is just too cool. Until we can time travel into history to holiday I will always be loving the AC games
This was my first AC I ever played back in 2014 (maybe 2013 can’t really remember) and I was obsessed with it! It made me fall in love with the series and I still don’t get the hate it gets! It’s so fun, beautiful, and the story was so much fun since I’m American and I love history. Forever my favorite!
Man I remember as a kid being so annoyed with the story and just wanting to become an assassin but it took so long but now as I’m older I actually love stories of video games and listen closely
i remember when AC 3 released i was at my friends house when he was wondering around in the frontier with the snow as connor and i thought i was the most graphically amazing game ever made. AC 3 isn't my favorite in the series but it will forever be special as it is my first step into the AC franchise :)
This one changed my perspective towards games that there's more to it than just 'gaming'. The story, the emotion, the understanding of the world (templar's goal)
Maybe unpopular opinion, but AC 3 is one of my favorite AC games. I got back into the series a few months ago (thats when I found you channel) must be like in October last year. And the funny thing is, I bought AC 3 at the same month the game released, just 10 years ago.
i absolutely love AC III. i remember when it came out, i was in fourth grade learning about the revolutionary war. so playing this game felt unreal. And it was just a nice refresh of the storyline after the Ezio trilogy. Over 10 years later, i've just finished my sophomore year of college😕
That’s pretty cool. This game came out when I was in fifth grade and that was when we learned about the revolutionary war in my school district. I went on to play this game and beat it when I was learning about American history in college years later I was actually able to beat it this time because I had my own copy and wasn’t borrowing a friends
This was just one of those games that was so good you didn't want to put down the controller. When I got it the year it came out as soon as I started the game. I was hooked until the story was complete, and even after that, I couldn't stop playing. I even wanted to restart the story just to play it again. Same with Assassin's creed black flag.
This game was my first main stream Assassin’s Creed game and this game solidified my interest in the whole franchise. Ratonhnhaké:ton is much more relatable to introverted people like me than other charismatic characters in this franchise (which I also love). Thank you, Assassin’s Creed 3 for the amazing memories!
I loved the setting. The story was sad. Poor Connor did his best. I think Connor needs another game. He had a good heart and truly cared about the people
I remember when 3 came out. I was jaw dropped by the graphics, the way Conor’s quiver bounces around when we walks (Pause) and the combat. Good days. Currently replaying the entire series
AC3 was a blast back in the day, and you really cannot fault ubisoft in their environments too much. You saying footage of AC3 was used in a museum reminded me of the fact, that Unitys rendition/recreation of the Notre-Dame was so accurate and done down to the minute detail, that after the real church burned the restorers made use of AC Unity as a reference of how and what they should rebuild, in addition to other material of course. But that is still a huge testament to their work and world creation skills.
The sheer amount of combat takedowns that are in this game is absolutely insane. And amazing! It makes combat feel realistic and badass, and most importantly, FUN! Too bad there is no crouch button tho.
Ac3, Black Flag, and Rogue is my series in the game. Connor, Edward, and Shay are great characters, with compelling stories. Connor (the assassin who wants to help his own people) Edward (the pleasure seeker who finds his way but only after he loses everything) and Shay (the assassin who turned on the brotherhood when the brotherhood went astray)
I beat black flag recently so i started playing this and the intro was sooo 🔥 i really liked how long it was, made the game as a whole feel more story focused from then on
This game came out right when i got into i think 7th grade, and i had to take american history, right when this game came out we started learning about the same topics and histories that was expressed through AC3 that is such a cool memory i have with this game, acrually playing the game, then the next day passing a test because i just played that section in AC3
It’s a game I always come back to. Really revolutionised ac games in a lot of ways lots of variety. I think the overall aesthetic, modern day, climbing and combat animations are great. Never got to play the mysterious multiplayer unfortunately
AC3 is my favourite mainly for nostalgia because it was the 1st AC game I got as a kid, still absolutely love it. And without a doubt the Ending monologue is S tier
I remember beating this game in 2012 and it was amazing, I loved the departure from Ezio, and the added freedom to the movement, the plot getting much less black and white and the ultimate fate to Desmond, such a fantastic story, where I didn't mind the modern day interrupting the fun historical story, just intertwined so well and still my favorite assassin robes of the entire series, perfectly shows the different aspects of Connor's life, his past as a native, his hope in the colonial attire and the assassin hood so unique, wrapping the robes in a show of what he ultimately knows himself to be, no longer just where he comes from or what country he is in, but the creed he has devoted his life to, I'm going to go play some now haha
You hit the nail on the head and covered literally every thought I had about this game. I don't think I've seen any other video do that. AC3 is my favorite in the franchise for all the reasons you listed and it's unfortunate that people didn't love it as much as the others. Thank you, it made my heart sing to hear you talk about this beautiful game so positively.
I downloaded AC 3 last year and I've never completed it. I'll just have to beat it this week. Thanks for reminding me of this amazing game😊😊😊 Btw still waiting for you to reach 200K😅😅😅
Totally agree AC3 is the most underrated in the series. I've probably beaten it more than any other, except maybe 2, and keep going back to it, for many of the same reasons you listed. Thanks for the video, and making us all feel old :D Cheers!
Undoubtedly the most underrated AC game. Unparalleled combat, awesome Parkour,a good stealth system, one of the best antagonists, a great protagonist, a beautiful and massive map and a morally great story. I don't get why people hate it so much
Man. It feels like it was just yesterday this game came out, I remember how revolutionary this game was (see what I did there?) It's crazy to think about this being 10 years old though.
This was the first game in the series for me so it will forever remain my favorite one... especially the combat. You just couldnt have enough of it. At times i found myself on the street brawling and not even notice how an hour or 2 had passed!
I love this game so much. I look back on my time playing ac3 & It takes me back to what my life was like in 2012 when it came out. I played from start to finish in about 3-4 days. I hardly slept. I rarely play video games but ac3 captivated me like no other game ever has. I just couldn’t put it down.
I still remember waiting for the reveal trailer for this game. It was my first time chatting with AC fans from other countries on the livestream, and the hype leading to the game was unreal.
AC 3 was the first game I played on Xbox 360 and it's still nowadays my favorite ac for it's story. Of course you cannot compare Ac 3 to AC origins ( which by the way is my favorite one) or the lastests in terms of graphics , but when I first played Ac 3 I just found it beautiful especially with the season system.
I was 19 when this game came out. Time fly still remember when AC 1 came out in 2007 as 13 year old never played any of the games till 2018 origins since then im die hard fan of ubisoft.
When my brother and I bought a PS3 it came with this game, so this was my first experience with Assassin's Creed as a whole thus it has a especial place in my hearth.
I sometimes 100% a game or two and remember that I played them a month or a year ago but then I check the date for trophies earned and find out it has been like 7 or 10 years since I played them!
My first game in the series was AC3. Love this game even now. The soundtrack is amazing. Bought the remastered version for XBOX and I am on the way to start Sequence 12. Twin holster is a heck of a grind tho but worth it. I wish Ubisoft fixed some bugs and also the horse riding mechanic could've been better. Overall amazing Assassin's creed game, very underrated.
Ac 3 was absolutely brilliant, so interesting historically, Connor had dual purpose in this game, yeah he wanted to be an assassin but at the same time it was to avenge his people. I thought Conor was a great character and Haytham at the start was an amazing twist. Would have been great to see more Connor.
Ac 3 was my first ac game I ever played and it established the love I have for the ac games Ac 3 will always have a special place in my heart Happy late birthday ac3 🎉🎉
The most stand out part of this game for me is the side content: -Homestead missions (probably the best rennovation system in the series with all the story missions with new folks) -Attacking forts -Peg leg missions -Naval missions -Assassin rectruits missions Worst part about the game is the bonus objectives.
I just bought AC1 to relive the only AC game I've ever played and plan on playing Black Flag next. Your videos are giving me ideas on which ones to look into in the future should I want to keep this AC train rolling.
This game was extremely vitally important to me and my brother. Words can’t even describe what it meant to us, the world was changing at the time this came out, and a lot of things were happening. I’ll leave it at that. AC3 is a very very important piece of information and gaming history.
Still my favorite in the series even after over 10 years. Thank you for showing it some love. I always felt like a black sheep having this game be my favorite AC. I remember when I came out for Switch a couple of years ago I played the crap out of it again (more than my original play through in 2012) and loved it even more. Honestly AC 3 is probably in my top 10 favorite games of all time.
played every single game and dlc in the series (besides rogue and mirage) and it's still the only game i happily return to years later! there's something intimidating about connor's demeanor, his persistance or rather blind stubbornness and hard shell under which he holds so much love and warmth towards his tribe and the homestead folk that i found incredibly endearing about him. the story is incredible, following haytham and the templar reveal, to connor's crucade against those that wronged him and where he's desperate to fix everyones problems only to end up making little to no impact on the world around him. the templars order will always prevail. his people are still loosing their lives and land. the things he was fighting against were just so much more bigger than himself. it was like he was trying to fight a hurricane and expecting to change its course. his story is an incredibly sad one. one of trying to make a difference and failing. from failing to protect his tribe and people as a whole, to failing his father, as well as his allies failing him, seeing the failure of the society (the slavery and the land annexation). no other protagonist in the series or a story in the series made as big of an impact as the one of connor.
So funny story. When I first started playing the AC games, I played them backwards 😅 starting with the release of AC3, and while I love Ezio like everyone else. Connor holds a special place in my heart seeing as hes the first assassin I played, dragging me into this series ❤
AC3 was my very first game and I adored it. I was like 11 when it came out and watched my sister play it because I was too scared of blood. Then a few years later I rediscovered it on my dad’s computer and started playing it almost religiously. I loved how noble Connor was and the homestead missions made his personality shine through. He was a sweet, thoughtful man but certainly did let his scary brutish appearance do the work for him (like when he was threatening Marias ex husband). Ac3 was a phenomenal game but it was released at the wrong time.
thanks for the reminder,I have recently started playing Assassin's Creed III for the first time and stopped playing it by accident.I am really hyped for Connor becoming an Assassin
Wow, time really flies! It's hard to believe that Assassin's Creed 3 is already over 10 years old. This game was such a huge part of my gaming experience back then, and it's crazy to think that it's been that long. But despite its age, I still think Assassin's Creed 3 holds up pretty well today. The story was engaging, the characters were memorable, and the gameplay was satisfying. It's definitely a classic that I'll always remember fondly. Thanks for reminding us of this great game and the memories it brings back!
I remember playing this game when I was like 10 now I’m 22 and I really enjoyed it, currently going through trying to plat all the main titles on ps5 and finished up ac2 plat almost done with brotherhood next will be revelations and I’m getting more and more excited to jump into ac3 the closer I get to it I know the plat will be rough but still excited
1st AC game I ever played through all the way, right after getting my wisdom teeth out when I had a few days off school. Still one of my favorite games ever along with RDR2 since I’m a huge nerd for American History.
This game hold such a special place in my heart. First ac game I have ever played, one of my fav settings, even tho I'm not even american. It was a mayor part of my childhood, I don't think it's the best in the series, but for me, it's definitely in the top 3.
This was the first assassin's creed game my mom bought me that wasnt me playing my friends. I was playing this while learning about the same historical events in school so is was amazing and i was intrigued, Now that im older it's sad because i cant find time to play a game all weekend or enjoy it because i have real life responsibilities to handle but wow amazing times
I instantly gave you a like. AC3 has always been my My favorite Assassin's Creed game, and Connor has always been my favorite assassin. I also agree that this game has been greatly under appreciated. Great job on the Assassin's Creed videos👍 Yes I also agree the combat in this game, I think is the best, because of the brutality and weapon variety. Plus Connor is a beast!
Weird seeing him with a sword, I played this game like three times and always exclusively used the tomahawk and dagger combo.. I wish they could create a sequel for this game. By far my favorite assassin’s creed.
This game got me thru COVID. I was home from college with no friends around. I put 600 hours in it. Just replaying and running around. I used it to escape my depression. I’ll always love it for that
I remember those days that I was watching gameplay demo and trailer over and over again. AC3's trailer is still best. I played AC3 over 100 hours. This game is my second favourite in AC title. AC1 always will be on top in my heart.
Back in 2012 when the game launched, I played it on a 2008 laptop with 12-15 fps on average and I enjoyed it. I really did. Years and years later I am glad the Internet users got to appreciate it and I thank you for making this video. Also, I bought the Freedom Edition and Connor's statue was the first of the many from AC universe. Furthermore, I bought the game on Steam to get some extra missions and a season pass (like The Treason Benedict Arnold).
AC3 was easily THE MOST hyped up game of all time when it came out. That kind of shot the game in the foot because it was never going to live up to the hype. Nowadays I appreciate many things about it.
Ac3 is a great game. I was blown away when I first played on release. I wished we would have gotten another AC game with Conner. Play as Conner when he was older. Man now I want to go replay it. The soundtrack was dope.
I grew up with Assassin’s Creed 3 on PS3 I was 13 and 14 when I passed and completed the whole game it was amazing my Sister’s Boyfriend gave me the game haha it was the best thing he ever did haha I remember buying the clothing items in the game it was awesome haha thank you for these vids bro
Also, Haytham is me and twins favorite Templar ever! He had such a sick presence and his voice was amazing I don’t know else to describe it without sounding like a total loser lol😂
Assassin's Creed III was the game that teached me English language the most, I got it as a B'day gift, for my PS3 Game Collection, as it was on PS3, there was no Polish language version on this port, so i was forced to play English.. I remember being a kiddo and deeply looking at every action that characters took, just trying to figure out what do actually words mean, I love this game, I love memories and language skills that this game gave me.
Assassins's creed 3 was the first assassins creed I played and was the whole reason I fell in love with the franchise. Conner till this day is my favourite character with how complex he was as a person. In my opinion Assassin's Creed 3 was centered around its storyline and was made more cinematically than any other assassins creed game I have played. I have always wanted them to make an AC3 stand alone Movie. He also has in my opinion one of the most unique and best assassin outfits
Assassin's Creed 3 has always been my favorite and my childhood despite so many glitches and bugs. Connor has been my favorite character. People say he's emotionless but he's not. He's a hero and the best Assassin ever. I love Assassin's Creed 3 a lot and it's the best Assassin's Creed game ever.

Something I really liked about this game are the assassin recruits and how they gave them more character than just a faceless foot soldier. You can even have conversations about their life and how they got to be in the colonies which is always a joy to hear. One thing that shocked me was that one of the recruits named Duncan was actually the little boy that haythem met at the theater when he assassinated his grandfather. It makes me sad that they were never used more in missions and in the story as they had some good potential for more interactions with Conner and how he had to build up the brotherhood in the colonies agian.
I love one of their abilities where they go in disguise as soldiers with Connor playing the role of the prisoner. Really takes the Second Tenet to a whole new level.
Duncan was Miko's (The first guy you kill as Haytham in the theater) nephew.

While there is more freedom in your cancellation timing, I find that the system they used lowers the barrier to entry somewhat while still allowing players the ability to free themselves from the “safe running” by holding Jump or Drop.
It just needed some tuning to not get stuck on walls when cornering…

true!!
Honestly the way ubisoft are these days I wouldn't trust them to make a good sequel that wouldn't screw Connors character over
I didn’t like Connor at all, felt like he was way too serious to be interesting protagonist. He is a perfect side character but not a good main character material. Ezio had his father, brother and little brother all got hanged front of him and lost everything his family had and lost many more but he always had high spirit and able to live through those sorrows but Connor basically lost his mother due to a fire which was set up inside the tent for some weird reason and thought Lee killed his mother for some reason when he had no evidence he did, and always being rude to every person he met in the city
@@AkagiRedSun this is the same exact thing I hear eveyrone saying and I don’t know how many times people have to explain to you people that dislike Connor I respect your opinion and all but your comment seems as though you never played Ac3, you can’t blame Connor thinking Lee burned down his village the templars Lee was with ambushed Connor and asked Connor where his village was so it is kinda expected for him to think Lee was the cause of death for his mother what did you expect him to think? I like the anger Connor had in him he wasn’t with the Bs and had one goal and was willing to fulfill it, but as the game progresses he seemingly becomes more wiser and it doesn’t come off as emotionless especially if you play the homestead missions
Noah Watts(the voice of Connor) said in the Loomer Assassins Den podcast, that he was a big fan of the games and that the first one really stood out to him. So in order to create Connor he took inspiration from Altair and the performance of Wes Studi in "The Last of The Mohicans", where he played a stone cold brutal native american. Everyone on set said that his performance was outstanding, but deep down he feared that the people wont like a character, who is the complete opposite of Ezio. Noah even found it funny, how the script didn't have a significant other for the main character. The joke of Connor being a virgin must have been really common on set, haha
At least Connor lost his virginity after AC3 ends
He feels exactly like Wes Studi in Last of the Mohicans in this game.
this was my fist ever ac game ive played, I can still remember not getting past a certain point as a little kid, then years later when de remaster came out I bought it again and man was this nostalgia hitting at its best. this game will always have a special place; alos love your vids bro:)
So underrated! Such a unique time period nobody ever sees in games. I love when they don't go with the trends (viking).
I thought the gameplay and story was fine but the map and main character boring af
Which makes me sadder that _Unity_ failed because nobody else has made a video game primarily set in the French Revolution with the level of detail AC is known for.
Now Ubisoft is pandering to the lowest common denominator (because of course they do) with Project Red. I'm still hoping that they'll throw their signature curveball and reveal that it's actually set in Meiji Restoration Japan with the "Feudal" part only isolated to a small section of the game, maybe as a prologue or a village untouched by Western civilization, but I'm afraid that's wishful thinking.
@@jmal i thought unity was really good
I can’t believe I was 6 years old when this game came out and it’s officially been 10 years since it came out and now I am 17 closer to 18 now, it’s just amazing how old ac games look amazing even in today standards, Thank you Master Assassin for making a video about this game birthday, and I hope to be like you as I’m growing my RUclips channel and making Assassins Creed videos
This is definitely one of my new favourites I just recently finished it and I have to say it’s amazing. The story is really interesting, the father son duo is just amazing and those moments were my favourite throughout the whole game, and overall it’s just fun to play through connor’s journey learning the way of the world and seeing an unfair system that needs to be put to a stop is just so great. And so is the Templar conflict 😊
Loved the setting in this game. Really felt like you were there in the founding of this country. The story is just amazing, to meet all those people that you read about and to be apart of history is just too cool. Until we can time travel into history to holiday I will always be loving the AC games
This was my first AC I ever played back in 2014 (maybe 2013 can’t really remember) and I was obsessed with it! It made me fall in love with the series and I still don’t get the hate it gets! It’s so fun, beautiful, and the story was so much fun since I’m American and I love history. Forever my favorite!
SAaame bruh
Man I remember as a kid being so annoyed with the story and just wanting to become an assassin but it took so long but now as I’m older I actually love stories of video games and listen closely
Same bro. Ac3 was so ahead of its time. wish we got a sequel to it
i remember when AC 3 released i was at my friends house when he was wondering around in the frontier with the snow as connor and i thought i was the most graphically amazing game ever made. AC 3 isn't my favorite in the series but it will forever be special as it is my first step into the AC franchise :)
This one changed my perspective towards games that there's more to it than just 'gaming'. The story, the emotion, the understanding of the world (templar's goal)
Maybe unpopular opinion, but AC 3 is one of my favorite AC games. I got back into the series a few months ago (thats when I found you channel) must be like in October last year. And the funny thing is, I bought AC 3 at the same month the game released, just 10 years ago.
This was my first AC game. This game brought me into AC series.
Me too, I think its the best AC game
@@waynekademaunga I like ac2 and ac more but this one is still amazing to me
Great game. Will you do more of the “If I get spotted the video ends,” videos? They are really fun.
What a timing. I just finished my 4th or 5th playthrough today 😁
i absolutely love AC III. i remember when it came out, i was in fourth grade learning about the revolutionary war. so playing this game felt unreal. And it was just a nice refresh of the storyline after the Ezio trilogy. Over 10 years later, i've just finished my sophomore year of college😕
That’s pretty cool. This game came out when I was in fifth grade and that was when we learned about the revolutionary war in my school district. I went on to play this game and beat it when I was learning about American history in college years later I was actually able to beat it this time because I had my own copy and wasn’t borrowing a friends
Been playing AC since the first and I think 3 might be my favourite… we neeeed this type of combat back fr
Man your content is rich with AC knowledge. I love to hear your commentary. You are my favourite AC content creator. ❤
This was just one of those games that was so good you didn't want to put down the controller. When I got it the year it came out as soon as I started the game. I was hooked until the story was complete, and even after that, I couldn't stop playing. I even wanted to restart the story just to play it again. Same with Assassin's creed black flag.
This game was my first main stream Assassin’s Creed game and this game solidified my interest in the whole franchise. Ratonhnhaké:ton is much more relatable to introverted people like me than other charismatic characters in this franchise (which I also love). Thank you, Assassin’s Creed 3 for the amazing memories!
I loved the setting. The story was sad. Poor Connor did his best. I think Connor needs another game. He had a good heart and truly cared about the people
AC III is one of the most unique video games I've ever played. Great video; it did the game a lot of justice.
I remember when 3 came out. I was jaw dropped by the graphics, the way Conor’s quiver bounces around when we walks (Pause) and the combat. Good days. Currently replaying the entire series
AC3 was a blast back in the day, and you really cannot fault ubisoft in their environments too much. You saying footage of AC3 was used in a museum reminded me of the fact, that Unitys rendition/recreation of the Notre-Dame was so accurate and done down to the minute detail, that after the real church burned the restorers made use of AC Unity as a reference of how and what they should rebuild, in addition to other material of course. But that is still a huge testament to their work and world creation skills.
The sheer amount of combat takedowns that are in this game is absolutely insane. And amazing! It makes combat feel realistic and badass, and most importantly, FUN! Too bad there is no crouch button tho.
Ac3, Black Flag, and Rogue is my series in the game. Connor, Edward, and Shay are great characters, with compelling stories. Connor (the assassin who wants to help his own people) Edward (the pleasure seeker who finds his way but only after he loses everything) and Shay (the assassin who turned on the brotherhood when the brotherhood went astray)
I beat black flag recently so i started playing this and the intro was sooo 🔥 i really liked how long it was, made the game as a whole feel more story focused from then on
This game came out right when i got into i think 7th grade, and i had to take american history, right when this game came out we started learning about the same topics and histories that was expressed through AC3 that is such a cool memory i have with this game, acrually playing the game, then the next day passing a test because i just played that section in AC3
1:35 This game helped me get an 89 on my US history finals during my junior year lol
It’s a game I always come back to. Really revolutionised ac games in a lot of ways lots of variety. I think the overall aesthetic, modern day, climbing and combat animations are great. Never got to play the mysterious multiplayer unfortunately
Also nothing beats stalking prey and exploring the frontier while hidden in the trees
AC3 is my favourite mainly for nostalgia because it was the 1st AC game I got as a kid, still absolutely love it.
And without a doubt the Ending monologue is S tier
I remember beating this game in 2012 and it was amazing, I loved the departure from Ezio, and the added freedom to the movement, the plot getting much less black and white and the ultimate fate to Desmond, such a fantastic story, where I didn't mind the modern day interrupting the fun historical story, just intertwined so well and still my favorite assassin robes of the entire series, perfectly shows the different aspects of Connor's life, his past as a native, his hope in the colonial attire and the assassin hood so unique, wrapping the robes in a show of what he ultimately knows himself to be, no longer just where he comes from or what country he is in, but the creed he has devoted his life to, I'm going to go play some now haha
You hit the nail on the head and covered literally every thought I had about this game. I don't think I've seen any other video do that. AC3 is my favorite in the franchise for all the reasons you listed and it's unfortunate that people didn't love it as much as the others. Thank you, it made my heart sing to hear you talk about this beautiful game so positively.
I downloaded AC 3 last year and I've never completed it. I'll just have to beat it this week. Thanks for reminding me of this amazing game😊😊😊
Btw still waiting for you to reach 200K😅😅😅
I never played it
Totally agree AC3 is the most underrated in the series. I've probably beaten it more than any other, except maybe 2, and keep going back to it, for many of the same reasons you listed. Thanks for the video, and making us all feel old :D Cheers!
Undoubtedly the most underrated AC game. Unparalleled combat, awesome Parkour,a good stealth system, one of the best antagonists, a great protagonist, a beautiful and massive map and a morally great story. I don't get why people hate it so much
Man. It feels like it was just yesterday this game came out, I remember how revolutionary this game was (see what I did there?) It's crazy to think about this being 10 years old though.
I think im replaying assassins creed 3
This was the first game in the series for me so it will forever remain my favorite one... especially the combat. You just couldnt have enough of it. At times i found myself on the street brawling and not even notice how an hour or 2 had passed!
I love this game so much. I look back on my time playing ac3 & It takes me back to what my life was like in 2012 when it came out.
I played from start to finish in about 3-4 days. I hardly slept. I rarely play video games but ac3 captivated me like no other game ever has. I just couldn’t put it down.
man ill never forget speedrunning the story of this game in like two days in middle school, though it was my second playthrough it was still magical
I still remember waiting for the reveal trailer for this game. It was my first time chatting with AC fans from other countries on the livestream, and the hype leading to the game was unreal.
AC 3 was the first game I played on Xbox 360 and it's still nowadays my favorite ac for it's story. Of course you cannot compare Ac 3 to AC origins ( which by the way is my favorite one) or the lastests in terms of graphics , but when I first played Ac 3 I just found it beautiful especially with the season system.
I was 19 when this game came out. Time fly still remember when AC 1 came out in 2007 as 13 year old never played any of the games till 2018 origins since then im die hard fan of ubisoft.
When my brother and I bought a PS3 it came with this game, so this was my first experience with Assassin's Creed as a whole thus it has a especial place in my hearth.
AC3 was the first AC game I played, I was around 14 when I first played it on the ps3. 6 years later now and still my most beloved AC game❤
I sometimes 100% a game or two and remember that I played them a month or a year ago but then I check the date for trophies earned and find out it has been like 7 or 10 years since I played them!
My first game in the series was AC3. Love this game even now. The soundtrack is amazing. Bought the remastered version for XBOX and I am on the way to start Sequence 12. Twin holster is a heck of a grind tho but worth it. I wish Ubisoft fixed some bugs and also the horse riding mechanic could've been better. Overall amazing Assassin's creed game, very underrated.
Ac 3 was absolutely brilliant, so interesting historically, Connor had dual purpose in this game, yeah he wanted to be an assassin but at the same time it was to avenge his people. I thought Conor was a great character and Haytham at the start was an amazing twist. Would have been great to see more Connor.
Ac 3 was my first ac game I ever played and it established the love I have for the ac games Ac 3 will always have a special place in my heart Happy late birthday ac3 🎉🎉
This was the first ac game I fully played so it really has a special place in my heart.
The most stand out part of this game for me is the side content:
-Homestead missions (probably the best rennovation system in the series with all the story missions with new folks)
-Attacking forts
-Peg leg missions
-Naval missions
-Assassin rectruits missions
Worst part about the game is the bonus objectives.
I just bought AC1 to relive the only AC game I've ever played and plan on playing Black Flag next. Your videos are giving me ideas on which ones to look into in the future should I want to keep this AC train rolling.
This game was extremely vitally important to me and my brother. Words can’t even describe what it meant to us, the world was changing at the time this came out, and a lot of things were happening. I’ll leave it at that. AC3 is a very very important piece of information and gaming history.
Still my favorite in the series even after over 10 years. Thank you for showing it some love. I always felt like a black sheep having this game be my favorite AC. I remember when I came out for Switch a couple of years ago I played the crap out of it again (more than my original play through in 2012) and loved it even more. Honestly AC 3 is probably in my top 10 favorite games of all time.
Who remember when AC was all about assassins 😢 good times
played every single game and dlc in the series (besides rogue and mirage) and it's still the only game i happily return to years later! there's something intimidating about connor's demeanor, his persistance or rather blind stubbornness and hard shell under which he holds so much love and warmth towards his tribe and the homestead folk that i found incredibly endearing about him. the story is incredible, following haytham and the templar reveal, to connor's crucade against those that wronged him and where he's desperate to fix everyones problems only to end up making little to no impact on the world around him. the templars order will always prevail. his people are still loosing their lives and land. the things he was fighting against were just so much more bigger than himself. it was like he was trying to fight a hurricane and expecting to change its course. his story is an incredibly sad one. one of trying to make a difference and failing. from failing to protect his tribe and people as a whole, to failing his father, as well as his allies failing him, seeing the failure of the society (the slavery and the land annexation). no other protagonist in the series or a story in the series made as big of an impact as the one of connor.
So funny story. When I first started playing the AC games, I played them backwards 😅 starting with the release of AC3, and while I love Ezio like everyone else. Connor holds a special place in my heart seeing as hes the first assassin I played, dragging me into this series ❤
AC3 was my very first game and I adored it. I was like 11 when it came out and watched my sister play it because I was too scared of blood. Then a few years later I rediscovered it on my dad’s computer and started playing it almost religiously. I loved how noble Connor was and the homestead missions made his personality shine through. He was a sweet, thoughtful man but certainly did let his scary brutish appearance do the work for him (like when he was threatening Marias ex husband).
Ac3 was a phenomenal game but it was released at the wrong time.
thanks for the reminder,I have recently started playing Assassin's Creed III for the first time and stopped playing it by accident.I am really hyped for Connor becoming an Assassin
Playing this game makes me homesick because of it's woodland atmosphere. Makes me think of nature walks from when I was a kid
Wow, time really flies! It's hard to believe that Assassin's Creed 3 is already over 10 years old. This game was such a huge part of my gaming experience back then, and it's crazy to think that it's been that long. But despite its age, I still think Assassin's Creed 3 holds up pretty well today. The story was engaging, the characters were memorable, and the gameplay was satisfying. It's definitely a classic that I'll always remember fondly. Thanks for reminding us of this great game and the memories it brings back!
10 years old and still in my top 3 AC games ! I just love the ambience
I remember playing this game when I was like 10 now I’m 22 and I really enjoyed it, currently going through trying to plat all the main titles on ps5 and finished up ac2 plat almost done with brotherhood next will be revelations and I’m getting more and more excited to jump into ac3 the closer I get to it I know the plat will be rough but still excited
I still remember getting this game in like fourth grade and playing it nonstop because I didn’t have Xbox live gold for online multiplayer
1st AC game I ever played through all the way, right after getting my wisdom teeth out when I had a few days off school. Still one of my favorite games ever along with RDR2 since I’m a huge nerd for American History.
God why are you making me replay this game for the 100th time
I’m happy you made this video! I’ve always felt like the minority that actually looked this game.
This game hold such a special place in my heart. First ac game I have ever played, one of my fav settings, even tho I'm not even american. It was a mayor part of my childhood, I don't think it's the best in the series, but for me, it's definitely in the top 3.
One of my favorite games I remember playing it when I was younger so many memories
This was the first assassin's creed game my mom bought me that wasnt me playing my friends. I was playing this while learning about the same historical events in school so is was amazing and i was intrigued, Now that im older it's sad because i cant find time to play a game all weekend or enjoy it because i have real life responsibilities to handle but wow amazing times
I love this game, Especially Boston since me and my dad went there last year. It was awesome seeing the buildings I remember in this game.
I instantly gave you a like. AC3 has always been my My favorite Assassin's Creed game, and Connor has always been my favorite assassin. I also agree that this game has been greatly under appreciated. Great job on the Assassin's Creed videos👍 Yes I also agree the combat in this game, I think is the best, because of the brutality and weapon variety. Plus Connor is a beast!
Weird seeing him with a sword, I played this game like three times and always exclusively used the tomahawk and dagger combo.. I wish they could create a sequel for this game. By far my favorite assassin’s creed.
The Soundtrack and the modern part are my fav aspect from this game
This game got me thru COVID. I was home from college with no friends around. I put 600 hours in it. Just replaying and running around. I used it to escape my depression. I’ll always love it for that
I remember those days that I was watching gameplay demo and trailer over and over again. AC3's trailer is still best. I played AC3 over 100 hours. This game is my second favourite in AC title. AC1 always will be on top in my heart.
Back in 2012 when the game launched, I played it on a 2008 laptop with 12-15 fps on average and I enjoyed it. I really did. Years and years later I am glad the Internet users got to appreciate it and I thank you for making this video.
Also, I bought the Freedom Edition and Connor's statue was the first of the many from AC universe. Furthermore, I bought the game on Steam to get some extra missions and a season pass (like The Treason Benedict Arnold).
First AC game I've ever played!
It introduced me to the whole franchise & holds special place in my heart
Thanks for the awesome video..I'm playing it for the first time currently and enjoying it
AC3 was easily THE MOST hyped up game of all time when it came out. That kind of shot the game in the foot because it was never going to live up to the hype. Nowadays I appreciate many things about it.
Ac3 is a great game. I was blown away when I first played on release. I wished we would have gotten another AC game with Conner. Play as Conner when he was older. Man now I want to go replay it. The soundtrack was dope.
My favorite Assasins Creed of all time! just circle and square to perform a kill love it!
Like the guy in the video saying the combat in the game is amazing circle and square to kill!
Playing thru this game AGAIN for like the 8th time. This will always be my absolute favorite 🤘
I grew up with Assassin’s Creed 3 on PS3 I was 13 and 14 when I passed and completed the whole game it was amazing my Sister’s Boyfriend gave me the game haha it was the best thing he ever did haha I remember buying the clothing items in the game it was awesome haha thank you for these vids bro
I had so much fun playing the multiplayer mode on this game. I miss it a lot.
Also, Haytham is me and twins favorite Templar ever! He had such a sick presence and his voice was amazing I don’t know else to describe it without sounding like a total loser lol😂
It was the last game my mother ever got me, it'll always hold a place in my heart.
I still remember all the trailers and gameplay demos xplay used to cover when this was coming out.
I remember the intro taking ages and the combat looking beautiful
Assassin's Creed III was the game that teached me English language the most, I got it as a B'day gift, for my PS3 Game Collection, as it was on PS3, there was no Polish language version on this port, so i was forced to play English.. I remember being a kiddo and deeply looking at every action that characters took, just trying to figure out what do actually words mean, I love this game, I love memories and language skills that this game gave me.
My favorite ac game, still have it on my pc, playing it from time to time...
AC3 is not only the first AC game I had, but it was also the first physical game I ever owned which is why the game and Connor is so special to me
Assassins's creed 3 was the first assassins creed I played and was the whole reason I fell in love with the franchise. Conner till this day is my favourite character with how complex he was as a person. In my opinion Assassin's Creed 3 was centered around its storyline and was made more cinematically than any other assassins creed game I have played. I have always wanted them to make an AC3 stand alone Movie. He also has in my opinion one of the most unique and best assassin outfits
Great game.
But absolutely Masterpiece as well
Average to slightly below average.
