Assassin's Creed 3: 11 Years Later...

- I’ve replayed Assassin’s Creed 3 recently and let me tell you, what a decision that was. Now that I am much wiser and older since the first time I played assassin’s creed 3 which was over 10 years ago, this game has a lot more than meets the eye. There were parts of this game that I completely overlooked over 10 years ago, but now that I've actually taken my time with assassin’s creed 3. It was definitely something.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Slight mistake on my part at 4:29. It was George Washington not Charles Lee. My bad 💜
Hey man, idea for a video you haven’t done yet. Hardest achievements in every game
Yeah I was like WTF?
That's a little gripe I have with Connor though, he's so focused in killing Charles Lee, and then he finds out it was Washington, and he doesn't give him shit for it, and it doesn't change how he feels about Charles even though the biggest reason he had to hate him was a lie
@@jorgerincon6874 Captain Kidd's treasure also turned out to be a fake story.
@@Romulus_Wolf Fake in what regard?
@@jorgerincon6874 Not entirely. The way I see it was this: Connor definitely held resentment for Washington's actions against his tribe, especially since he was actively planning to do it again. Furthermore, after Monmouth and West Point, Connor withdrew his active support of the Patriots due to realizing that they were never looking out for the best interests of his people and land. However, Connor points out to Haytham that Charles is no better than Washington in any regard, and this is backed up by how Lee had his own part in the Natives' danger the second time around, with it leading to him killing Kanen'to:kon in self-defense. Plus, Monmouth's events show Lee was willing to mislead and sacrifice soldiers under his own command just to make Washington look bad.
Connor is top 3 assassin for me. Bro is a gentle giant who was naive at first but realised things may not turn the way you want but one must fight regardless. Doesn’t help that this game has such a masterful side cast in Achilles, Haytam, Lee, Washington they all play off each other so well and plus all the Templars are really great.
Same, he's my fav assasin.
Assassin's Creed 3 has a special place in my heart because it's my first AC game and I got it for free when Ubisoft gave it out for free.
1. Ezio
2. Altair
3. Edward
of course not EDWARD YES! AC4 is a nice Pirate game, but it is also a bad AC game with a BS Story@@M2Lyfe
Ezio, Altair, Edward
which one is worse than Connor
AC3 got me in the series and it will always have a special place in my heart no matter what others say about the game
Same
Couldn’t of said it better myself
It’s trash. It literal feels like an unfinished game. I just bought for Wii U for 5 bucks and feel like I overpaid 😂
@@heelturnsfaceNah it's not. The optional stuff and 2nd half of main quests are quite good. Also, Templars are "grey", not the "evil guy" cliche. Especially Haytham. Guess thats too deep for you
@@heelturnsfacecuz u got the Wii U version 😂
Connor as a character definitely suffers if you don’t play the homestead missions. It’s through those missions you see who he is truly, his stoic nature pulls back to reveal his gentleness and kindness.
Agreed i thiught he was so stiff and monotone until i did those missions
That is wrong tho. Character development should be the part of the main game, not side quests. But, there is more than lack of character development in the game. The voice actor is very poor, has robotic voice. But that is not just Connor, all of the natives talk as if they were bored to death and lack emotion in their voices. The story is also too convoluted and not explained and explored properly, seems like rushed. Some moments are then completely uncalled for.
@@thrustvectoring8120if you buy a game, why aren’t you doing all it has to offer ? And after all the natives have suffered through do you expect them to be all jolly haha smiles lmfao.
@@morbidzombii u stupid?
The Homestead missions really do completely change the game.
Connor's ending if you do them feels completely different than if you didn't.
AC3 was my first assassin‘s creed game so I’ve stuck by it through thick and thin and I am extremely happy that people are starting to come back to it and realize it was actually a fantastic game
With the trash coming out nowdays, everything from the early 2010s is starting to look like gold tbh. Looking at you, Battlefield 4.
The dumpster fires we get today make people look fondly to Ac3 it got a flack back when it first released. We are approaching Ac3's 12th anniversary. Mirage just released and people now realize what we lost
i think it was the first, and if not, it was the first i enjoyed. i kinda recall playing another ac game back like forever ago but i only liked 3 and stuff. i always liked connor hes always been my favorite tbh
@@ScarlettTheRavyou should try playing the ezio trilogy. AC2 is a bit slow but if you stick with it into brotherhood it is extremely rewarding. Following ezio all the way to revelations and then watch assassins creed embers is just peak. You really should give it a shot i promise you won’t regret it. Ezio has like Arthur Morgan tier character development. His games are the games that turned assassins creed into the iconic powerhouse it is today and it’s what led into assassins creed 3 and connors story.
Me too
Connor is always my favorite, nobody will change my idea about him.. Never!
Honestly, Connor made me appreciate how good his outfit was, I wasn't a fan of it before
@@deepflare1028 Dude same, I think his outfit is very overlooked and that's a shame. I'd even say his outfit ranks up there with the likes of Altair and Ezio
Is the second strongest and most accomplished of all the true humans, after only Ezio
@@Growmetheus ALTAIR ?????
You obviously didn't play Ezio's story. His had such an amazing character development, that there's only one other character I can think of that he is damn-near close to being on par with, and that is Arthur Morgan from RDR2.
Failed to mention that the soundtrack is absolutely goated
Connor getting renewed focus and love is great to see.
Connor is my favorite, AC3 is my favorite. I started with revelations and then play the prior games then waited for AC3 launch. When it came out, I loved Haytham. Switching to his son and a whole new narrative was amazing. Connor relationship with everyone is so strong because Connor sticks to his beliefs. I loved his relationship with Haytham and his death and even just killing all these Templar’s we learn to like as Haytham
The narrative genius there is utterly insane. You having to spend time with the people you are going to kill as Connor is so fire. It makes it personal for us the player and for Connor.
yesssirr@@eljefe2963 , never have I loved a man like Charles Lee then hated a man like Charles Lee. He was a dope side kick for Haytham, but the templar order fed him power and he loved that power. Connors first interaction with him is scary for both Connor as he could be killed like that. And scary for Charles as Connor makes his badass promise that makes the ending even more sasitifying.
@@jwaximus1113 and to watch Connor get his revenge and get absolutely nothing from. It is an excellent life lesson. What makes it that much more tragic is that it was the only way for Connor to feel like he actually accomplished some thing and in the end that wasn’t enough nothing ever was for his kind of goals. me Connor is supposed to represent what the creed could be. It makes me wonder if if he had a brotherhood of his own when Achilles died and he was in charge. I often thought of potential game where Connor had a son and a grandson and Connor became the Achilles figure, I would set it in the war of 1812, and would have Connor’s kin try to take back the colonies for the British and fail just the same. Just like everyone else in the Kenway line. Anyway I’m rambling a bit but it was so refreshing to see the heroes fail for a change even when the win.
@eljefe2963 If you listen to his speech at Achilles’s grave, he says one of his brotherhood members asked what they’ll do if/when they win. To which Connor says he has no answer, and figures Achilles didn’t either, but they fight because they must until they see that day.
And he misses Achilles like he misses his mother 😭😭
@@davidbeer5015 phenomenal characters performances writing and directing. I just wish the “fans” had the ability to see it.
Speaking of years later, we are approaching Black Flag's 10 year anniversary.
Ironic to me. I enjoyed AC3 way more playing it now than I did replaying AC4 afterwards
Ac4 never had a remastered, right?
@@amiramri3032Right i wish They remastered that game
@@nirmalcena5249actually they are remastering black flag for next gen search it up you’ll see
@@nirmalcena5249there's potentially a remake in the works now
A nice parallel between stories was the emotional heart being that of the relationship between estranged father and son. Haytham and Connor were separated by distance and the side they each had allegiance to, while it was Desmond running away from being indoctrinated into the Brotherhood that put physical and emotional distance between himself and William.
It is also worth noting that the DLC, Tyranny of King Washington, is really where the stories began moving away from more real life historical to fantastical, with the red bark tea and the powers it bestowed not having counterparts in the base game making it less of a straightforward What If scenario.
TBH, the Tyranny of King Washington was fun to play. AC 3 with some fantasy and super power. Sometimes I forget that and try to do those special moves in the actual game. It was actually good
I really liked that you pointed out the the homestead missions and the Captain Kidd missions. I really enjoyed those missions. I hope something like these missions will came back in later AC games
Glad you like them!
As someone who this year platinumed AC 3 and I can fully agree that the Homestead missions expanded Connor's humanity and made him more likeable for me.
He's always been my favorite Assassin, ever since I played AC3 in 2012
Hes a complex character, and as a half Pakistani and half Native American it’s hard finding games that I can relate to and this game was amazing and did Conner amazingly because natives tend to be more stoic and quiet. Ppl hating Conner for being quite and having no personality don’t understand he’s just native lol. Also he shows growth and wisdom and does have personality u just have to pay attention . Also the fact of him being such a big man is true , my grandad who grew up on the reservation was 6’4 natives are stupid big lol and strong , Broad shoulders and tall are common at least for Cherokee
He was raised to be more stoic and Achilles wasn’t looking for someone with an Ezio type personality because he was still figuring out on having a protege after the events of Rogue where things went tits up.
Whoah what an awesome mix, Native American and Pakistani! I don't think I've heard of that happening before but I love it 😄
I think what left AC3 at a natural disadvantage (at least when it first came out) is that it came hot off the heels of the truly legendary Ezio Trilogy. Connor's character and the grim cities and lush frontier compared to Ezio's lovable, wise playboy persona and colourful cities of Italy must've seemed like whiplash to many fans. Such a culture shock.
Fortunately looking back, AC 3 AND Connor have found their place in the series and people look back on it very fondly in light of recent entries in the series. I truly love the human feeling AC 3 has. It's story isn't all sunshine and winning, it's grey. It's natural, multi faceted, more relatable and human.....and Connor Kenway is an absolute weapon.
The pacing and structure also left the game, and Connor at a disadvantage. Opening with the charismatic Haytham and more time than previous games on the modern day including full on missions for Desmond (which was really cool) meant less time for Connor, who started the trend of single game protagonists in the franchise. I wouldn’t blame people for being put off by how long the tutorial prologue is, it’s a few hours in before you’re exploring the world doing your Assassin thing.
You guys are just wussy’s that’s all it’s the same reason why yall prefer black flag because of the happy scenery and happy go lucky characters ac3 is a man’s game nice and cutthroat also black flag was so boring with the repetitive missions in ac3 every mission was somewhat different from the last and had variety even the current day missions were fun sky diving as Desmond off a skyscraper and the one where you explore the Brazilian ufc ring the abstergo missions in black flag were walking simulators with boring dialogue I seriously can’t understand how people say black flag is better
@@Drunkpunch33 People like Black Flag more since the combat is more fun and the main character is more charming
Great video!
AC3 was already one of my favorite AC when I was a kid, but doing it again recently has made my opinion a lot stronger. This is the first AC to introduce a lot of nuance in the fight between Assassins and Templars, with Haytham (it’s still my favorite character of the license) but also with Connor who finds himself in a conflict to which he can not bring any good answer, despite his extremely powerful conviction in freedom.
The patriots have the most legitimate claims, but Connor sees that it does not bode well for his people and that Washington is far from perfect (moreover it is he who set fire to the village of Connor, not Charles Lee). The Loyalists may provide the Amerindians with a gentler future, but this is the camp of domination, it would go against the Assassins' creed to support it. The Indians are legitimate on their land, but Connor fails to channel their rage and they run for their own loss. As for his father, he is obviously a man of reason, he sincerely wants the good of humanity, but it is such a violent manipulator that it is absolutely impossible to trust him. And I didn’t even mention Achilles.
The scene at the very end where Connor, still injured, limps and leans on his shovel as Achilles did with his cane, is such a beautiful and subtle staging to show that he became the Mentor, literally the Old Man on the Mountain (like Achilles, and like Al Mualim in his time). The game is so rich when you really try to understand it, but besides the gameplay (on which I have some problems, especially on the stealth that I find horrible in AC3) etc. it is really the character of Connor who marked me by doing it again.
“When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.
Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.
Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore.”
― Ezio Auditore da Firenze
I recently went back to this game. And I felt more connected to Connor than I did when I played it the first time aprox 10 years ago. He has more depth than meets the eye. Nice video.
One correction though. It was Washington who ordered the attack on Connor's village, not Charles Lee. Connor's people were neutral during the French and Indian War. Washington fearing they might join the French against the British, took precautions. This is revealed in the mission where Connor and Haytham visited Washington's camp in Forge Valley

@@expert_fretwork you're right. Apology on my part
I liked how this game portrayed the funding fathers as they truly were, humans who can be subject to greed, take harsh decisions to save their position, etc. which was a risky move from Ubisoft considering how it can be a sacred topic from some people in the US, but it made me feel like they wanted to present somewhat true history in their game. It ultimately made me more invested in learning about this historical period since these historical figures were presented as complex characters (which they must have been) instead of one-sided hero figures.
As a french guy, I was disappointed with what they did with the french revolution where we don't take part into anything including historical figures directly, just from afar, and just stick with the romanticized "Robespierre bad" narrative till the end.
Assassins Creed 3 was one of the games my mom had bought me when she got my Xbox 360 with her tax return. I was so excited to play it. Up until that point I’d only ever touched the first. Unfortunately every time that I left Boston to go to the snow area my screen tore and froze at the same spot every single time. I tried my friends disk and it did the same exact thing, to this day there’s no solution for that specific problem little me had. I didn’t get to play until it was rereleased on Xbox one, and actually haven’t finished yet. But this game is surely one of the best of all time
Connor, Haythem, & Edward all have great stories
i genuinely believe that the facial animations and the body movements in this game, especially during cutscenes, is on par with or better than the modern rpg games. i love 3, it’s a fun game,
Finally! Some love for Connor! He's been my favorite ever since I played that game, so it's nice to see people appreciate him. Better late than never, I guess.
AC3 is my fav and still is.
It’s the only one that I rewatched the trailers and behind the scenes dozens of times before it was released.
Probably because back then I always wondered about the US history around this time.
Playing it first time I still like it even though it was a bit confusing but when I went back again and lay it out as a whole for my timeline playlist.
Especially the Homestead missions I get to see roughly when which one took place, including Achilles passing. Thanks to some websites with the dates of each event.
😊
This game was tied with AC 1 as my favorite of the series. There was just so much more to the gameplay than the other games...hunting, setting up different types of traps with other assassin's. I also loved the setting. I never understood the hate.
It's funny because when I replayed AC3 in recent years I came to appreciate Conner so much more than when I originally played it. In that replay I did the Homestead missions (that I either didn't know existed or just skipped originally) though I never did the Peg Leg and Recruits which seems interesting at least. Still find the Modern Day for AC3 to be really good besides Desmond's death.
"but now in 2023. Im a fully grown adult" .. hehe trust me, you will say this to yourself many times whilst growing older. I found that this feeling of "NOW I understand it finally" never really ends. Each time I re-visit a classic I feel like I never truly understood it and I always feel like im finally ready now that Im an "adult" but it actually never ends. Im 28.. and its still like that.
So true bro
My personal favorite AC game. You mentioned the secret: it shows its beauty when you're taking your time with it. Then boy, does it shine.
I love seeing so many people learning to appreciate this game and this character. 🎉
One of the best protagonists and story’s in this series. Been saying that since day one, glad to see more of you guys finally coming around.
AC 3 is my second favorite in the series.
A great underrated game indeed.
Connor and AC3 have been my goats from the jump. Happy to see them get credit
I see Connor as a person who, in addition to not being able to have a proper childhood, losing his mother and not being able to socialize as he should, is a relentless person whose only goal is to liberate those oppressed by others, eliminate those bastards who look for the evil, that doesn't make him a bad character, in fact we need characters like Connor, now if in a game the character is not fucking Tony Stark with charisma, the character is not good, NOOO, in real life there are people , who don't talk much, people who grind and do their things secretly and who, if you know how to handle them, have an incredible personality like Connor in the Ascenda missions, I love you Connor, thank you for teaching me to never give up.
After my 2nd play, this now ranks right up near the top of the series for me. So much to do in here, great overlapping story with both Black Flag and Rogue.
Great video! Loved the homestead missions. I also remember Connor getting sort of animal powers at some point when he can turn into a hawk, a bear and a wolf…totally loved that aspect of the game…quite underrated if you ask me!
Assassin’s Creed III is literally the reason I ended up moving to Boston for college back when it came out. It’s honestly one of my favorites in the series and holds a very special place in my heart.
It’s great to see my man get more appreciation.
This Assassin made me fall in love with assassins creed games
I loved the modern day, too. The mystery and intrigue were fantastic. It always bummed me out when people said they didn't like it and just wanted to get on with the history part. That was a big thing back in the day. Everyone talked about not liking the Desmond stuff
I actually hate the modern day stuff as well.
I liked the modern day story it was pretty good seeing Desmond tie to all of them how he was born in the creed how he wanted to be different but in reality that’s who he was an that’s what he was train to do it was a parallel between him an his father an Connor an haytham
Im so mad they changed the visuals for the remastered version, the OG baked lighting is so beautiful
You're growing fast and you're one of the best AC fan-channels!
I loved the walking and running animation. It looked so realistic and urgent.
Connor is a Top 5 Assassin, this game and he will always hold a special place in my Heart.
Connor has been my favorite, then came Bayek and now it's tough between them both for me. AC3 has been my favorite title in the series especially thanks to the Desmond Missions, yeah the Prologue is very slow and long, but it's the perfect setup for the story itself and its ending. They really planned it out with that game.
Ngl just the pure strength of Conor by itself makes him at least top 5 bruh Connor was not scared to run the fade wit nobody…..
Growing up is realizing Connor is top 3 assassins of all time. Bro is a a straight g
ac3 is my favorite game of all time.This game is special to me.
I wouldn't mind seeing something like the modern day in this game return and maybe improved upon. Because this game was my introduction into this franchise.
Although I was just a kid when I played AC3, it remains my favorite Assassin's Creed game to this day. The story is deeply moving, and the world is vast and diverse compared to other games of the era. AC3 offers a wide variety of side quests, including naval missions and treasure hunts, which makes it a truly unique and rewarding experience. In my opinion, AC3 is the quintessential Assassin's Creed game.
The Homestead missions not only showcase more of Connor’s character but are super important because leveling up all the people there gives you access to the best weapons and gear. They higher the level your craftsmen/artisans are the higher the quantity and quality of goods they can produce that you can sell since sending supply convoys is the kinky way to make money in this game lol
Ac3 is the most underrated assassins creed game in my opinion. It was such a good game.
connor maybe a boring written character, but he’s literally the strongest assassin. he’s always been my favorite because he’s ruthless and the clear strongest
I believe this is by far the best setting for an AC game
Here's my TOP 3 ASSASSIN'S
1. Ezio
2. Connor
3. Altaïr
I went into AC3 last year for the 1st time with the criticism people through at it at the time in mind. I was surprised at how much I loved this game even though it does have some flaws I agree with such as the pacing and certain mechanics.
The colonial setting is actually one of my favorites in the series as a result. The third game also brought some nuance to the assassin/Templar conflict the previous games didn't have with both Haythem and Connor having similar goals, but different approaches. I also loved Connor. I disagree with alot of the issues people had with his character at the time. He's a different type of assassin than Ezio and Altair. He's from a warrioresque society and is focused on protecting his village and those few people he cares about like those in the Homestead rather than running the assassins out of a sense of duty or because he was born into it. It shows in how absolutely ruthless he is when he fights. I really wish they gave him another game showing his later life (maybe crossing it over with Shay, Alveline, and Arno's stories given how connected they are).
As for the mechanics. I agree with the assassin recruits. Revelations and Brotherhoods were better implemented to me even though I did like some of the actions you can get them to do and the fact they are given a story. The hunting mechanics were great as well,l and it upsets me the other games didn't keep the ability to use bait and set traps. Only thing I didn't like about hunting was the qtes which sometimes did not work at all. They work perfect in Rogue, blackface, and Liberations. The modern day in AC3 was also the absolute best and was wasted potential. No other modern day segments compares. I also agree with the menus and tool selections. I felt like 3 made it overly complicated. I also had a few glitches and other mechanical issues, but at this point I expect it from almost everyone of these games to break at least once.
Other than that I think AC3 may have been the most overhated in the series.
They still haven't found Captain Kidd's treasure. That 2015 find was proven to not be his.
AC3 was the first game of the AC franchise that made me cry at its ending - to see Connor go through all those troubles to protect his people, only to learn they still had to leave the Frontier anyway really pulled on my heart when you see him looking out into ( what was felt to be ) an empty Homestead and then he pulled the hatchet out of the pillar, signifying the end of his war.
People called him bland but failed to see that is what you'd expect of someone who witnessed his mother burn alive and have his whole village destroyed, only to then learn later in life that the man you've come to aid in a war was the one who called for his village to be destroyed.
I adore Connor. And people need to remember that ANY character that came after the likes of Ezio were always gonna gain some form of dislike when Ezio got 3 whole games for his character.
Connor became my favorite assassin the moment he said “what is your name” when the game first released. I knew right then he was different. I was already an adult when this game released so I was able to analyze his character and story from a mature perspective and I related to his character and growth the most in the series. His heart and brutality resonated the most with me. He wrecked grown military trained men as a child, with ease. He is easily in my top 3 video game characters of all time. Excellent video my guy. I’m glad Connor is getting the respect he deserves after all these years. You have more than earned a sub from me. Keep pushing.✊🏾
I always thought this game was awesome, the combat was great, awesome counter attack, being able to hunt was awesome, and the cities and story were pretty cool, dont know why people dislike it, the axe was awesome
ac3 hype was so fucking awesome. That 3 week span of AC3, halo 4, and black ops 2 was legendary. Also the smosh rap video too.
I would say AC3 is mostly a game for side missions the Captain Kidd missions the Homestead missions it’s all perfect down to the last detail
AC3 was sooo good and underrated. It also brought the first look at ship battle that made it's way to blackflag
I liked AC3 when it came out. One thing I aooreciate to this day is how this game had the balls to give us actual modern day missions. At the time, I even thought that one of the next games will finally advance the timeline to the point we're having entire AC game set in the modern day. I think Desmond's Saga has a very good plot - both the present day and the Animus parts. I wish all 5 games were REMADE.
I really enjoyed AC3. The American setting I liked because I just love the history of it all. Haytham Kenway is still one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise. Finding out he was a Templar and that we just played an entire section of the game as him blew my mind.
it was my first assasians creed game... damn glad it was
Thank you. Connor is the most underrated protagonist in the franchise. Same could be said for AC3 as a whole.
Opinions can change so fast its crazy
AC3 has always been my favorite game of the franchise, with Connor as my favorite protagonist. I also agree that the modern day plot got *completely* lost after 3, Ubisoft really should have just ended it there and started a new historical fantasy thing.
I also recently replayed Ac3 after almost a decade, now that I am older I realized how much I am in love with the game, so many things I skipped and overlooked gameplay and story wise, the characters are amazing, well written and it shows that Assassins arent always in the right, I want more of it, Rogue isnt enough. One of the best Ac games ever made
AC3's ending basically delivered the lethal blow to the series for myself. AC4, Rogue & Unity failed to follow-up the modern day plotline in any meaningful way and to me made Desmond's death feel meaningless and this made me drop the series entirely.
Crazy you drop this while im replaying it for the first time sense launch lol hated it back then but its one of my favorites now.
This game will always be by fav game in the series. AC3 is amazing.
Connor is misunderstood as hell, but one thing is that he lacks the influence and timespan that Ezio and Altaïr had, Connor is essentially rebuilding the wreckage of the order. Altaïr had a redemption story surrounded by guides that he needed, and Ezio was surrounded by Assassins teaching him about the order the entire time, but Connor just had Achilles and Faulkner and his own students. He’s also being exposed to a completely new world early on where the war shows him the ugly side, but the better side is shown by the Homestead. If anything, Connor is an overwhelmed idealist but in retrospect he reminds me much more of Adewale in his stance than any of the other main characters.
Also, a lot of people talk about how much of Connor was lost by cutting out his ending monologue, and you can tell just by watching how much the ending was rushed, Connor is still bleeding from his wound fighting Charles Lee a year after during Evacuation Day.
I have so many memories with Assassin's Creed 3!
Assassin's creed 3 also has a couple epilogue scenes, such us the village being abandoned, a very tense conversation with george washington, and(i think) connor speaking to Achilles grave
I don't understand why this game isn't talked about much. I think this is the absolute sickest assassin's creed theme - the whole assassin concept from the prior games but fit into the revolutionary war period. Everything just made sense and fit with the Native Americans and the British/Colonial conflict time period. One of the most critical points in American history lived as Connor
Totally loved AC 3, the prologue twist was brilliant, and Connor grew on me on a second play through, played first on pc many years ago, then on series x a few months ago.
Great video, highly enjoyed this one. I agree with pretty much everything you said.
It’s brilliant that they have you play the antagonist in the prologue and it’s not a concept that is wildly explored.
I played 3 after playing 4, Rogue and reading Forsaken and absolutely LOVED it!
Haythem is my favourite character in the series and i loved seeing Connors relationship with him
If you understand the tragic family lineage of Edward, Haytham and Conner (where Haytham's story is fully explained in a novel rather than a game), you can see a sort or Ezio like growth arch across the patriarchs of that family, and Conner is a steadfast resolute simple and noble vindication and rectification of that tragedy. He is not "boring" and "lacks complexity" when understood in context.
Further understand that Conner is based on the real life character of Joseph Brant who was a 6 nations chief who aligned with the British in the war of independence and was banished to Canada (southern Ontario) where he was primosed a massive reserve from Niagara Falls all the way to Guelph. He founded the town of Brantford which is the idealistic reference of his homestead in the game. The real life tragic story of the 6 nations Indigenous people is that as Joseph was a known alcoholic the British got him to sign treaties after he was deliberately intoxicated and the British later reneged on all treaties leaving the 6 Nations Reserve less than 10% of the original treaty which is now a small tract of land east of Brantford and ironically Canada's largest reserve.
The real life "Conner" continued to get screwed long after the events of the game, so the game took a merciful melancholic but pure attitude with Conner as a guiding light amonst the sheer double crossing, death and genocide along with white washing of this historical period. Conner is a tribute to the 6 Nations in many ways who got screwed in the game of real politik of New England and the formation of the America.
When you understand how utterly ugly and complex the politics and fictional storyline of Conner's family is, you appreciate why he was so stubbornly simply and good amid all that.
I've always loved this game and Connor has been my favorite Assassin since 2012. He reminded me a lot of Captain America. He didn't fight for what America was, but rather what he believed it could be.
Thank you. As a Native American, I would say "Of course it was misunderstood, because Connor was well written and people don't know a lot about Natives perspective." While people saw him as boring or wtv, I was like, Finally! A character that makes sense.
Then there was Edward in BlackFlag, and it felt like a huge stepback for a protagonist, to me. He was so immature lol.
The hometead missions were gold! And I loved the Assassin recruitments, such a shame they ditched the whole concept after that.
Loved the music too! Lorn Balfe had hard work to do to match Jesper Kyd 's awesomeness.
Anyway, it was the last real AC game and one of the best for me.
I stared to retry this game, I’m very early in this game. I really like early Boston’s layout.
Connor had the misfortune of attempting to follow up Ezio, which so many hated. For me he's always been so underrated
Im.so glad im not the only one who has realised AC 3 is a masterpiece. I played it when it released and only finished it just to get the ending to Desmond Story. Now im playing the remaster and completing it 100% its a masterpiece of a game
This was one of my favorite games and my favorite protagonist in AC.
I never realized this game was so disliked by so many people because I remember being blown away by it when it came out and everyone I talked to who played it also loved it. Then again that was back when every game didn’t have every aspect of it picked apart by every single person on UA-cam so my understanding of what people thought of it was limited to just people I talked to at school pretty much.
It was a special game for me I remember being blown away by the first use of parkour in outdoors using trees and stuff
Definitely my favorite setting in the series. Once you get past the incredibly slow start it’s fantastic
I played all games as they released, but AC3 is my favorite. I loved Ezio and all of that, but there were a couple of things that separated Connor and AC3 for me. First, I absolutely love the Revolutionary War. Second, I got the game during superstorm Sandy. We didn’t have power for 2 weeks, but the volunteer fire department I belonged to at the time had a generator so I would play between calls. And third, not long after Sandy we had a snow storm and the crunching of the snow in the game was SO good that I remember feeling like a kid again wanting to recreate the games I was playing.
Never understood the hate for this game. It's easily in my top 3 AC games.
AC3 was my introduction to the franchise. I remember seeing the trailer for it in theaters (I don’t even remember what movie we saw because I was so pumped just seeing AC3’s trailer) and me and my mom thought it was a movie trailer.😂 When we both realized it was a game she said “Oh we have to get that game for you.” With that being said though I had no basis for what an Assassin Creed game was like and what to expect, I actually prefer it that way because I absolutely loved AC3 and appreciated it for what it was. I went back and played the previous titles and it made me appreciate the game even more cause at first the modern day didn’t make sense to me until I went and played the rest but man does this game resonate with me especially Connor cause I was a teenager when I played this and I feel like I related with Connor way more than either Altair or Ezio. I’m glad looking back now more people are warming up to it kinda of like the Star Wars fan base that hated the prequels when they came out but then when they got the sequels man did they miss prequels Star Wars.😂
Connor will forever be my favorite AC character
I never understood where all the hate for AC3 came from. I loved it from day 1. Sure, Connor may be a bit lacking as a protagonist, he's certainly no Ezio, and the modern day storyline had a very unsatisfying ending. However, AC3 is a hell of a game! The combat, the tree climbing, the hunting, the rope darts, the crafting, the Homestead, the forts, the underground tunnels, the naval combat, Captain Kidd's treasure, unique settings in Colonial America, so much to do!
I'll never forget the moment I crafted a dual pistol holster, equipped two double barrel pistols, and started every fight by shooting 4 guards.
And getting lost in the Frontier was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Still one of the best in the series in my opinion.
What's truly beautiful is that Connor, on Achilles estate, builds the truest idea of what America is supposed to be. A land of beauty and freedom, open to all, regardless of race or creed. He opened his land to all who would build a new life and who came together as a beautiful community that was anarchist and supported each other from childbirth, faith, marriage, snd statting new lives.
As a Marvel fan, Connor may be more Captain America than Steve Rogers
The kenway trio is my fav games always and connor has a special place in my heart
With Ubisoft's return to form with Mirage I'm actually excited about the modern day story with Basim.
AC3 will always be a top 3 AC game for me
