    Unacceptable buggy mess. I would say Ubi should give people their money back but most likely the people playing it got it free with Odyssey SP. This game isn't worth free.

    Playing this reminds me of how bad the original's story was, the horrifically designed, luck based optional objectives and ridiculous climbing mechanism. Looking past all that this game is still even worse. A remaster    Unacceptable buggy mess. I would say Ubi should give people their money back but most likely the people playing it got it free with Odyssey SP. This game isn't worth free.

    Playing this reminds me of how bad the original's story was, the horrifically designed, luck based optional objectives and ridiculous climbing mechanism. Looking past all that this game is still even worse. A remaster always includes a graphics upgrade and this game does have better graphics. I can tell because many times I got stuck in the scenery to the point where the only option was to restart. My enemies did as well. On more than one occasion I couldn't complete a mission because my target was inside a wall or someplace I couldn't get to. It is especially bad when it has to zoom in a while like when you're climbing.

    With the remaster they also mentioned making some modern adjustments but I didn't notice anything new that wasn't broken. Missions, especially homestead, tend to not be removed from the screen when they are completed. On countless occasions I had a homestead mission objective on the screen that I completed and a completely unrelated mission's objectives added below it. Climbing is buggy as well. Many times I would climb to a point and then hit an invisible wall. Backing back down a little and moving up again resolved it in most cases but when you're in a hurry it was game breaking.

    On top of this the QTEs don't register always. In several combat encounters it wouldn't put me into combat mode so I just stood there while people attacked me. This also happened in a legendary animal quest. The only way to recovery was to exit out.

    The notifications (for convoy attacks and optional objectives) also seems buggy. In almost all cases I got the message that my convoy had been destroyed yet I never got the message it was being attacked.

    Lastly the game crashes frequently when there is a lot going on, such as the big battles. Freezing game with the sound playing forces a restart from the last checkpoint. Given the optional objectives that require luck over skill this is just plain infuriating.

    In summary, same iffy game story/mechanisms with more game-breaking bugs and graphical issues.    … Expand

    This version is a complete trash
    There are so many problems. for example: Definite sound, problems in game physics and problems of optimality...
    The game is only colored from blue to yellow
    It's not a remaster, it's a scam
    This game is not worth 40$
    According to Ubisoft's new policies, the company is trying to scam users instead of providing services.

    So I have been massively looking forward to Valhalla and to gear up for it I decided to play through the whole damn series again.

I was actually having a lot of fun and I was really impressed with how well they held up and then I started AC Liberation. Oh my God if that isn’t literally the worst game I have ever played period, the gameplay sucked, the free running sucked, the combat sucked, the story started out good but in the end it ended up sucking as well.

    Like how the hell did that game ever get released and how the hell is the remaster worse then the PS vita original? I finished the game expecting 5 people who just didn’t give a **** to be in the credits but 100’s of people worked on this game, 100’s of people spent years of their life creating AC liberation. Like **** me but I would never put that product on my resume, I would offer to pay Ubisoft just to not put my name in the bloody credits. I don’t even want to play Valhalla anymore, i don’t think I want to play video games anymore period. If anyone ever suffers from video games addiction then just have them do a 100% sync playthrough of AC Liberation and if they don’t blow their head off while listing to schizophrenic show tunes before the credits roll then they will be cured.

    I’m going to go grow up now, maybe learn a trade and find a new hobby. Enjoy Valhalla everyone.


    P.S
    If anyone from the AC Liberation dev team reads this....I don’t like you.    … Expand

    No le veo nada de remasterizado más que unos toques de interfaz y jugabilidad , los gráficos suelen ser peores que los originales pues parece que saturaron la iluminación y algún filtro raro de temperatura el cual le hace ver mal , los bugs afloran , en mi opinión la calidad baja hasta peor que el mismo juego original que ya tenía grandes gráficos y resolución de por sí .

    It is sad when a remastered game plays and looks WAY and i emphasize WAY worse than the original game. Where do I even begin.

Where do I even begin. All of the cut scenes look like something fresh out of a PS2 game, the game is full of new glitches and bugs on top of the ones from the original game that Ubisoft didn't even bother to look into when remastering their game, and the games frame rate runs at almost the exact same as the original game. I was honestly very excited for this remaster because I was one of the few people that actually loved the 3rd entry to the Assassin's Creed series and I pre-ordered this game as soon as i could. But honestly after wasting 15+ hours just hoping that the remastered version of one of my favorite games would get better, I have simply come to the conclusion that this was a quick money scam by Ubisoft to try and get some suckers (myself included) to spend a buck on a game they used to love. If you're thinking about buying this game and haven't played it yet, don't bother. You will receive a lot more of a smooth playing and more visually pleasing experience by just playing the original version of this game on PS3 or Xbox 360. This "remaster" is an absolute joke.… Expand

    No mucho tiempo de su lanzamiento ubisoft nos trae un (más que "remaster") port para la nueva generación de consolas que decepciona, no sorprende ya esto de ubisoft pero cabe destacar que este es otro duro golpe para la ya sobre explotada franquicia de assassin's creed que para ya muchos seguidores de la saga está murió con desmond y ezio (me incluyo en la lista).

    WTF this is the worst remaster ever you couldn't even fix the problems that we had with it in the first place not only that even patched It's worse than ever can't replay missions to get full synchronization and the BS with crashes and honestly it looks worse than the original.

    Além de o jogo ser odiado por tantos, ainda tenho uma pegunta.Qual é o motivo de fazer 30 missoes só para desbloquear o traje iconico do jogo, é ridículo

    Despite this game taking place in a very interesting era, I could not get into it. I'm not sure why, as I had an open mind coming into this game, but for some reason I put it down quickly. Perhaps it was the fact that it is in 3rd person, or maybe it is because the beginning was not particularly engaging to me. Regardless, it wasn't for me.

    Assassin’s Creed III Remastered on Xbox One is a good game which is fun to play. The graphics may be significantly improved but this is essentially the same as it was seven years ago, albeit now up against much stronger competition. If you’ve never played it before, at £29.99, with all the DLC, it’s worth a look.

    Overall, this remaster puts a nice coat of paint on a great experience and I'd recommend everyone, especially those who weren't so hot on it at release, give it a try to see how it's held up.

    Assassin's Creed III Remastered brings noticeable improvements in visuals and overall environment quality to AC 3 and Liberation, especially for owners of an Xbox One X and an HDR-capable TV. The overall experience is still dragged down by some of the original games shortcomings, like a repetitive mission structure, but it might be a worthwhile dive in the past for Assassin's Creed fans.
