xyzzysqrlI wasn't sure if I should count this as a "game complete" or not, but then I remembered I counted the ACIV "Freedom Cry" DLC as its own thing, so... screw it, consistency over sanity.
With AC: Syndicate coming out soon I've been kinda twitching for new stabberings. Liberation didn't leave me satisfied enough, so I went back and pulled AC III out of the vault and went back to that three-episode DLC I didn't do before. It's ... pretty okay? I actually may have enjoyed this more than the main game, except that it loved to send 20+ dudes after you at a time going for the treasure chests and oh my god the combat engine is kind of a pain in huge group fights.
With some differences (crazy animal magic powers, because why the fuck not) this was more of the Assassiny goodness I wanted. Lots of chances to stab a guard in the dong and hurl him into the ocean, which is uncomfortably my signature move in this series. Good fun for everyone.
Once I'd beaten the pretty-decent end boss fight with King Washington atop the half-built pyramid he was building in ruined New York, I glanced briefly at the main game and saw I was 55% complete, so I loaded that up. After about an hour I realized why I'd left it at 55% and shut it down again.
Still, fun DLC romp.
