Really good critiques of the entire AC franchise, including ACIII. They are some things I disagree with him, though.
100% achievement completion!
Thu, 07/25/2013 - 22:39 — Calvar The BladeFINALLY got the last multiplayer DLC achievement, so now I have all 64 achievements! Was a pretty fun ride, a few really hard ones but nothing unforgivable. Anyone else finished all the achievements and trophies?

Frontier Locations and Trinkets
Tue, 06/25/2013 - 20:02 — 161803398874989So I finished the main story and stuff and am in process of rounding up all the additional content. However, this requires me to find 12 (twelve!) more Peg Leg Trinkets. Now, my frontier map hasn't opened up all the way yet, but there aren't any viewpoints visible on the map. What do I need to do to get it fully in view? Just ride everywhere?

The following comments are just a copy/paste of my youtube comments for this one; I don't think there's anything important I missed. You can see the broader results of the experimentation I talk about here: http://www.thehiddenblade.com/complete-guide-fort-ai-mechanics

A Complete Guide to Fort AI Mechanics

Assassin's Creed III - A Complete Guide to Fort AI Mechanics
This is my attempt at a definitive document for AC3's AI systems in "stealth" paradigms. This should hopefully clarify for many exactly how they work, and set a stronger foundation for criticism of the game and the series in general going forward. Much of this may be old news to the people on this site, but this compiles everything, and it definitely includes things I didn't fully understand until recently. I hope you enjoy, and find it useful.
GDC talks about AC3 (found two so far)

Starts at about the 30 minute mark, the seek bar tells you the name of each segment so it should be easy to find.
Topics covered:
Uneven surface traversal (+ scramble and slide animations)
Predictive foot placement (Mention that next gen systems would have been helpful in making this work better without sacrificing performance)
New MP footage

This is just a montage of AA grabs I made. This isn't just highlights though, some parts are supposed to be slower but on second thought I don't think it works well with the music, im going to experiment with different music so I think my next video might be better. Anyway hope you enjoy some of it.
Pacifist playthrough
Thu, 05/30/2013 - 16:11 — previously vegetableInTehVaria inspired me with this and this (thank you!) which ended up with me trying to complete the game without killing anyone.
Connor can indeed be a pure pacifist (although a few kills occur in cutscenes, and fists need to be used on certain targets).
