Assassin's Creed 3 continues to be an uncharitable game with enemy placement and optional goals. I've gotten frustrated several times with the situations it forces on me. However, I overcame most with a few desyncs per encounter.
I don't understand why they made it so enemies could chain attacks that need to be blocked! Paired with swarms of enemies it makes for an annoying, time-wasting melee encounter. Some of the tools I unlocked helped mitigate this annoyance, at least.
My spite based playthrough seems to be closer to finished. I won't do any of the super optional stuff that rewards cosmetic items.
Just the content that helps level up my tradesmen and furthers the story of Assassin's Creed 3. I can't wait to be done with this game. ROFL
