but for anyone who wants nothing more than ingame forests that actually have depth ac3 is where it's at

>>385382607
yes it is a huge forest. Shame there isn't anything remotely interesting to do on it. No, gathering ingredients is not interesting

>>385383561
It's the most interesting video game forest existing today. Sure it could be better but just try naming a forest that surpasses that of ac3s

AC III is my favorite game in the series.

>>385384425
>I got bored of the trees, therefore it's bad
Nope.

>>385384063
>rise of the tombraiders
Although it does have a good forest I can't agree with this one for two reasons:
The good part of the forest (the snowy one near the beginning of the game) is way to small to be considered much of a forest
The other big forest area (thermal something or other) is to littered with houses and ruins and stuff that it really ruins the forest atmosphere. Like, one moment you may be looking at a bunch of beautiful trees and see a deer in the distance but turn the screen just a couple of degrees over and you are already seeing signs of the ugly "native" civilization
>oblivion
Agreed, this game does have a fantastic forest. I only think ac3 has a better forest because of things like the winter and summer options, the tree climbing and movement through the forest. Obviously Oblivion isn't a parkour game so you don't get those movements but tree climbing really is a pretty fucking cool system to have in a forest

>>385382607
I spent more time exploring & hunting than I did doing the missions, shit's top tier comfy and as a bit of a collectorfag I chose the Connor in a tree figure as my representative of the series.
>>385384371
and this, they're scarce enough to not become repetitive

same fagging to shill AC3

Well, it did start ships, which were rather fun tbw. The boarding actions were great imo.

>Exploring the monotonous underground is repetitive and boring
Not that bad if you aren't retarded. I much prefer it to "climb tower to activate teleportation spot"

I'd rather just run around bits of France.

I haven't played it yet, but I got it for free so I can't possibly have any buyer's remorse.

>>385384903

litterally me then 2 hours in and i realized i just wasted my time download and play this trash

>>385384894
I think that's what most people would rather do, which is why ac3 gets a bunch of hate. I feel like I am one of the few people who would rather be running around in an expansive video game forest vs an expansive city (considering that both of them aren't boring as hell with no depth)

>>385384778
you're alone fag

>>385384984
some are shitting on me but some aren't, you wouldn't know since you think all the defending posts are samefagging but who really cares

>>385383786

it feels like they started making this game and went hogwild with creating the wilderness and then lost their enthusiasm as they moved onto the rest of the game.

>>385385437
it's a shame because most people just give up before they ever really get to freely enjoy and explore the forest due to ac3s shitty story
I didn't really have much else to do at that point which is why I actually got around to finishing the game and exploring the forest but not a lot of other people are in the same boat I think

>>385385437
Forested areas are easy and cheap to make. You can procedurally generate them then spend about 1/100th the time to clean them up then it takes to make a well fleshed out city, that's why dev teams love them so much. Throw in a little climbing mechanic and retards think you're the next messiah for what was basically no real work.
Why do you think Bethesda games have so much forested areas in them?

>>385384846
>Not that bad if you're retarded
Fixed that for you. It's unfortunate that it doesn't reveal the city, since they're ugly on the eyes and boring as well. Really, 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations all did cities better, and even after going up a tower you'd have a reason to travel and look around on foot, because it was fun.

I've always liked AC3, except the modern day parts of the story that completely ruined that whole aspect of the series. But the period is one of my favorites and the game itself was awesome. Fucking loved the winter time parts and hanging red coats from trees like the Predator. And the father and son aspects of the story were done well. I also liked how you could build a town and by the end of the game the character has a community and family again through them all gathering around him. It was nice. Black Flag is still the best game in the series though.

>>385382607
Ass creed has always been shit from day 1.

>>385383786

>>385385714
Have you explored ac3s forest man?
Bethesdas are obviously procedurally generated
Witcher 3s are obviously procedurally generated
Ac3s though, while having some procedurally generated parts, are for the most part pretty hand crafted and original (either that or they are the greatest procedurally generated forests I've ever seen)

>>385382607
I didn't finish it
But I unthought of issue is that Connor (who was not very likeable) followed who the coolest most charismatic character of the entire franchise so.. that probably had a subconscious effect on the audience

>>385385723
>travel and look around on foot, because it was fun
As a fan of video game forests, thats the way I feel about ac3s forests, which is what Im defending. I agree with you that the underground is completely and entirely bland and that the cities are just okay at best

are there any good games where I can run around as an indian and raid villages and shit?

>>385386295
unfortunately not
Ac3 is probably the closest you can get to that and it's still not even good (besides the forests, which is why i made the thread)
It's a shame that there are so many cool time periods and environments that could actually be turned into good video games yet devs stay away from them like the plague for some reason

>>385382607
AC4 is the only good AC game

>>385386604
>>385386457

>>385386135
I can't really recall many games having any sort of extensive, interactive forests, so I can see how someone who's into that would enjoy 3 more then others.

>>385385927
Do you have any facts to back up this claim?

>>385382607
Except all of the missions are just patronizing handholding bullshit that fail you instantly if you step halfway outside the handrails. Like for fuck sake, you're not even allowed to explore New York before the game forces you to do that shitty prison mission for an hour. The forest is also empty and devoid of any meaningful content. Don't get me started on the hunting, animals spawn and wait for you in the exact same spots every time and same goes for those tracking clues.

Freedom Cry is superior, even if it's much shorter and missing shanties.

>>385386942
No, the most I have are the screenshots at the beginning of the thread.
>>385382794
This is the only solid screenshot I could find online since I don't feel like going to my parents house, getting out the old xbox, and taking a bunch of ingame screenshots and all that.

I think the main difference between I find between ac3 vs bethesda games and witcher 3 (only reason Im saying these two is because I already used them as examples) is the size of the map. Skyrim and Witcher 3 have such big maps that obviously they are just going to throw in a bunch of boring forests and call it a day. Don't get me wrong, witcher 3 is absolutely beautiful but the forests definitely don't have the same charm or authenticity as the ones in ac3. Ac3 on the other hand though has a map that while being bif enough to feel expansive, was still pretty small to the point where they were able to actually craft a lot of the forest themselves.

I dunno, Im just typing out a lot of this stuff hoping that it's true. If you really are interested (which you probably arent) you should just download a save file for the game and explore the forest and hopefully you'll see what i mean

>>385387362
I remember pre-release interviews where the director said that he wanted to make sure absolutely anyone can finish the game. That's probably the one single design choice that's consistent throughout the whole game, the bullshit handholding and 0 difficulty

What are you basing that on? Graphics? Because obviously the graphics aren't that great now but they weren't that bad for the time. And if youre basing it off the fact that you don't find forests comfy than it just sounds like personal preference. If it isn't than find me a screenshot of a video game forest that you think is comfier than the one i posted

>>385387949
The graphics were good for the time.

>>385388879

>>385384542
So you were actually giving your opinion, thats strange. Ive never played an AC game but this sure looks cool. I can only remember the forest area from some linear games like the Evil Within

>>385382794
The thumbnail looked cool so I decided to take a look, jesus this is embarassing, look at that vegetation just a hundred meters from the camera, the ground texures, the water, everything looks like complete shit.

Nah the Frontier was the most disappointing aspect of that piece of shit because it was the only one that sounded interesting. Then you actually get around to exploring it and all the tree climbing and exploring is limited to the same kind of pre-set free running tracks you'd find in the cities. If I wanted to just walk around a forest, then I would go out on another hike. All the Frontier had to offer as incentive was furs and convoys you could smash so you can buy equipment to better play the Story, or you can do the Homestead missions which only highlighted how much more of a bland hypocritical jackass that Connor was.

this has to be bait.

you do understand the idiomatic 'comfy' as applied in pop culture reference to video games people play, right?

they mean the inner feeling of relaxion and comfort that comes from playing a video game where the aesthetics, atmosphere, gameplay or story etc come together to gel into a whole greater than the constituent parts that usually defies firm concrete definition easily, but that makes one feel good to have played, to be playing, to even sit around in the 'game' purposefully doing nothing

>>385391723
>Stalker
>comfy
Sorry but no fucking way man. Stalker's graphics work on every possible level to be as little comforting as possible
Sure in some situations like the one you described the game may become comfy but from a pure exploration level Stalker is pretty far from comfy. I would say Stalker brings a type of comfort only found from the small rays of happiness that can be found in dead worlds

You wouldn't be saying this at all if you went for the 100% in 3 or Liberation. It's a nightmare of having to just go back and forth on the map on an area that looks to be shaded until it registers, and it's needed for AC3 to get to the highest tier of Frontiersman if I remember right. One of the worst additions in the entire series.

>>385382607
>whatisfarcry.jpg

Useless forests nobody cares about aside AC3 grew too big. They wanted to include as many new things as they could while not focusing on anything really well. The game was made by how many 5 or 7 bigger or smaller studios all capable to make a complete game. Coordinating this was a nightmare for sure. The main problems:

1, the story is shit and a letdown
Yes AC's story mattered before. It was about some mystical conspiracy through the times before then it ends in a complete letdown. It doesn't help the hero out of nowhere dies like a bitch at the end. Everyone who put up with the giant borefest which is the game overall was spit in the face in the end.
2, too many different ecosystems with different goals
It actually shows it was stapled together from the work of different teams. You have the classic AC gameplay in the cities, you have some far cryesque hunting climbing stuff in the wild, you have a confusing fog of war simulator under the city, you have the ship battles which are so foregin and awesome at the same time, you have the absolutely annoying present time climbing and the forced MUH historical events as missions etc. It has many things but things are not united. Entirely different games are fighting who will take the wheel for the next 30 minutes.
3, cities and events are uninteresting
I'm an eurofag, so I probably can't understand why someone thinks copy-pasted cities of plain wood houses are more interesting than climbing around historical european and eastern work of art. The cities were both boring and uninteresting. Only "good" thing you didn't need to climb that much because most building were short.
4, main hero is shit espcially compared to our favorite italian loverboy
