Caught between fun and frustration mega

Assassin's Creed 3 (100% uncut) might be the most beautiful and best game of the genre in 2012 and 2013 and even has the makings of a title "best game ever".

All the great things that are reported about this game true and beyond the story still has some surprising twists that would captivate the player from start to finish, IF ...

... Well, if the game would not be constantly interrupted abruptly by annoying and especially completely unnecessary errors.

Equipment that can be displayed while in the closet, but not selected. A double holster where never stuck the guns that you have chosen. An inventory that is partially erased after having played maritime missions. Suddenly disappearing NPC, which then emerge seconds later behind a back. Quests that are not shown on the map. Quest givers who are well displayed on the map, which are not present but in reality. Places where you have to climb or should - where it is not possible, however. Knee-high obstacles that the Char simple block, although he should swing loosely over it. Places where you can fly from the game world and manages of nowhere, only to fall out of what felt like 100 m height from the sky, while - of course in the middle of the mission - burst like a ripe berry on the ground. Emissions, which, although it has ended, but which are not recognized as terminated ... etc. etc. etc.

I could go on and on, but in addition to the objective and unreasonable errors, there are also a number of criticisms that are subject to personal taste:

The "economy":
Perfect mischief, because you can buy what you really need to be better or easier progressing in the game nothing.

Weapons:
Collectibles that fill the shelves in the armory, but thanks to 1-button operation and win-button rich the initial weapons completely. As a child I had done all the liberation mission in the border area with ease. Not what can not be overcome with a brain cell and two thumbs.

The settlement project:
A nice idea to found a settlement. It has to be done by the swineherd to flower pickers sorts and it's a nice and entertaining diversion. But nothing more. The purpose should be to settle craftsmen to certain items to build. I love "crafting" - that is, the production of own items. Here, however, presents only one awkward to use interface, with which innumerable useless objects can be produced, the sale of which to make matters worse and is still uneconomical. Only at a very late stage of the game, can be one or the other pocket extension o. Ä. Can make. However, one has then already so used to the scarce Platzberhältnisse that one has adapted his style of play and the extensions are not necessary.

Country convoys:
Also a nice idea early to earn money in the game is that you sent all sorts of stuff about country of the dealer. But I said, their own production in most cases is uneconomic. So unfortunately all nonsense. If one believes really need money, you can fund everything by selling bearskins. And should a convoy times are attacked, one would be defending him by his assassins CAN, if this feature would not be full of errors.

Movies:
Besides the fact that the dialogues are asynchronous, depending on the applied Connor wears clothes yet its standard equipment. A bad visual break in the game experience. And after the sequence have disappeared around you regularly every NPC. It moves toward a group speaks in the sequence with the characters. Then makes it "blopp" and one is suddenly alone in a limb. Extremely poorly done.

Sea mission addicts:
After I get the control that was really fun. When I had all missions, but it has been enough. The full upgrade of the ship, before you even sometimes goes to sea, settled easily finance the sale of skins.

Conclusion:
Once we are 2 further updates, the game is likely to be a rewarding and beautiful game experience about in Summer 2013, but currently it is just a joke, to demand money. Who is a fan of the series and can not wait, it has anyway already and takes the back. But who can wait, it's still not for you, but to wait for the bug fixes.

The game lives in large part by the story and the game play. It is a "total experience" and I doubt that you frustrated by all the bugs that can make up for the game in a later passage. If a movie or a book you have in most cases only after the first time this "Whow effect" ... and the Ubisoft has messed thoroughly with this semi-finished product.

// Edit: Meanwhile (December 2012), there is another patch that fixes a number of serious errors. What is of course not resolved, is the lack of meaning and depth of gameplay.
