The Jaeger was falling back, and when any enemy moves backward or flinches, they are open to a chain attack, no matter what enemy. I've used this many times lol.
im really glad you liked it and i will try all of these things, theres a lot in this game that people dont know you can do, for example vaulting just before an edge or a fence will do a quicker and cooler parkour jump
Damn I miss when combat was just well timed instal-kills. Made the whole experience more immersive and cinematic and just let you go back to the rest of the game without having to sit there mashing the attack on a sponge for 5min straight.
I'm currently playing The tyranny of King Washington expansion for the first time. I played the base game back in 2012 and recently finished the story mode of the remaster. It's a great game but, because of the annoying controls, is not one of my favorites on the franchise.
I loved how brutal Connor’s fighting style was. It felt like a great mix between skill and raw aggressive power. It helped that Connor was built like a brick house.
at the start, instead of waiting at the firing line for them to go into combat, you can press sprint button+counter button to roll into them without taking damage.
3 is super underappreciated. Yes it takes a while to get going and getting to play as Connor, and the streets are too wide to easily cross over sometimes (though I don't know how you'd make them smaller and still have room for all the carriages)
I feel like 3 is the black sheep of the old formula. But I always liked it the most because of the story. Connors story is my favorite, felt more mature and nuanced when compared to the rest. However, AC4 is a very close second
To be honest, the combat is the easiest in the series. AC3 was one of my favorites but it does honestly have its short comings. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved the experience.
I’d say black flag is easier. While it’s pretty much the same, black flag heavy improved upon the combat, I find myself dying a lot more in 3 than I do in black flag
Easy to kill everyone sure but you still need to practice and learn the game to do it with style, as seen here with tool kills and double tool kills, this video is one of the few I've seen where the player doesn't just spam counterkill or break defense.
Even though AC3 is one of my least favorite AC games, I will admit that it did the rhythmic combat better than the other games, the combat was satisfying and the animations were very well done.
The combat in the new games is so bad. What a shame. Personally I think the most fun I had with an AC combat system was in Revelations. Not saying it was the best, just that I really connected with it.
While cinematic effects in AC3 combats are cool, I still think that it made the fights less enjoyable. I love combats in AC origins, there so freaking awesome.
I was just playing it and sees this for sure its the best in the combat and animation what i really loved about this is sometime it can have that cinematic look with no hud and precision aiming mode
This is a great example of how I would like the gameplay to be in the AC-game of my dreams. Regardless of time period, I don’t really feel it if the playable character is a walking arsenal with armor, maces, spears, swords, rifles and what not. Let the fighting rely on hidden blade combat, disarms and ranged weapons, whether it’s guns, rope darts or throwing knives. Really makes you feel like an assassin that can blend in and make the best of his surroundings.
I never understood why Altairs robe physics are so bad in all the later versions of the game, with the lower portion stuck to the legs of the character instead of it free flowing. Like they had better physics for that outfit in the og assassins creed, what the heck.
The combat was so basic in this game it was amazing for 12 year old me when it came out. I remember cutting down redcoats for a solid 45 minutes because the kept spawning and attacking me
My favorite thing when it comes to combat in the first 3 games was the pacing of the animations and interactions of characters they were fighting/moving, something new, way more realistic that what most games did not have at the time, most were to something closer to hack and slash style but the trilogy?
It's so fluid! I'd love love love a PS5/Xbox One X remastered edition, but maybe it's old enough that they'd choose to completely remake the game. idk 🤷🏼♂️
Friend and I used to play this game and just walk around beating up guards. The fun part was, you didn't need weapons. We would just leave the guards battered and beaten, unless someone tried to shoot us. Then it was personal.
Such an underated assassins creed game one of my favorites. I loved the combat system and using the tools. You could counter kill peoplle with traps or rope darts. But the story was one of my favorites the interaction between conner and haythem was the best example of the true differences between the Templars and the Assassins and how compromise for what we are capable of doing for our goals is better then doing nothing
AC3's combat is awesome. I wish Unity's was similar because I hated not having the ability to counter kill. I'm most comfortable with Black Flag and AC3's combat system.
Man I'm so excited to get to this game. I own all 12 mainline games and I'm playing them in release order. AC1 has some good story but the audio has not aged well. And the voice acting is sub-par.
Seriously man! AC 3, in my opinion, has the coolest combat, side story, collectibles and parkour puzzles. This game doesn't the the appreciation it deserves
This is one of the things I look back on when folks reminisce about the pre-RPG days of AC. The whole idea in the 1st AC was that it was dangerous to get caught in combat, and you were supposed to do everything you could to avoid these situations. That changed so quickly, and before you knew it there was no real tension. It became a game of how well you could press that parry button, and start chaining these combos. I honestly don't miss this at all.
This AC will always have a special place for me, dunno but I love everything: Connor himself, story, characters, setting. I enjoyed Valhalla more, (cause ac3 optional objectives were a pain in the ass) but I put this at the same level, maybe a sentimental thing not so sure. Don’t care if they are different, both are the AC games I love the most.
I would rather have easier combat with bad ass animations than more difficult combat with shitty animations. AC3 animations are god tier imo. Bravo sir
All games that used this combat system were easy as hell but at least AC3 somewhat made up for it with enemy numbers, while Black Flag and Rogue rarely has you fighting more than 4 at once.
Hearing that theme reminds me of when everyone started to speculate about what AC Revelations was gonna be about and people being generally excited for the next entry. Good times.
cool moves n all but that amount of money tho...
I just realized that, holy crap lol
How’d they get that much money?
Wow whenever I play AC3 I'm broke all the time since the missions don't give money rewards
Me on PS: □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □
Assassin's creed combat in a nutshell
It feels like the new games are so much more fighting oriented than stealth.
You will not have a good time if you do that
Xbox with RB
Imagine being one of those guards seeing 12 of your dead buddies and thinking “yea I’m gonna be the one”
Hey the guy you’re attacking has to get lucky every single kill, you guys only have to get lucky once
Mastered the combat ——> attempts to chain kill a Jäger
Exactly, not that I do this all the time 🧐🧐
that was more for cinematic effect lol, but if they are unarmed you can chain kill them
The Jaeger was falling back, and when any enemy moves backward or flinches, they are open to a chain attack, no matter what enemy. I've used this many times lol.
That's AMAZING!
Woodkid - Iron was used in the cinematic trailer for Revelations! SO good!
im really glad you liked it and i will try all of these things, theres a lot in this game that people dont know you can do, for example vaulting just before an edge or a fence will do a quicker and cooler parkour jump
wait, what? you can use hunting snares for counters!?
Damn I miss when combat was just well timed instal-kills. Made the whole experience more immersive and cinematic and just let you go back to the rest of the game without having to sit there mashing the attack on a sponge for 5min straight.
I'm currently playing The tyranny of King Washington expansion for the first time. I played the base game back in 2012 and recently finished the story mode of the remaster. It's a great game but, because of the annoying controls, is not one of my favorites on the franchise.
I wrapped up that DLC a few weeks ago. It took me a while to readjust to the controls. The story on the DLC wasn't all that great but 🤷♂️
I do not care that this combat style made the game easy. It was hella scinematic and what made me immerse my self into being an assassin and a badass.
I agree with you, these animations always made me feel like an actual trained killer. The finishers were so damn good
I loved how brutal Connor’s fighting style was. It felt like a great mix between skill and raw aggressive power. It helped that Connor was built like a brick house.
Its cinematic for sure and doing parkour with precision mode is so fun
It wasn’t any easier than combat in recent games.
How did he get it cinematic like this so much? Mine rarely went into cinematic scenes during combat
Bruh the combat became boring after 20 encounters
My immersion always breaks when the entire dock yard is piled with bodies after fighting for 20 minutes straight without a break.
Miss this type of combat so much
It sounds like they’re dividing how they’re designing the games
at the start, instead of waiting at the firing line for them to go into combat, you can press sprint button+counter button to roll into them without taking damage.
They didn't take damage anyway. I think that was a flex
3 is super underappreciated. Yes it takes a while to get going and getting to play as Connor, and the streets are too wide to easily cross over sometimes (though I don't know how you'd make them smaller and still have room for all the carriages)
I feel like 3 is the black sheep of the old formula. But I always liked it the most because of the story. Connors story is my favorite, felt more mature and nuanced when compared to the rest. However, AC4 is a very close second

I’d say black flag is easier. While it’s pretty much the same, black flag heavy improved upon the combat, I find myself dying a lot more in 3 than I do in black flag
none of the og games combat is difficult at all. well ive never played ac1, but certainly ac2-4 all have very very easy combat
Just like in real life where a gang of attackers would politely fight you 1on1 until they're all dead.
Ah, a gentleman of refinement. Low HUD and Altair robes all day, no matter which game.
anyone who appreciated the goodness of AC3 instantly becomes my friend.
It was the first AC game that I owned, besides Bloodlines on the PsP. I can't even tell you how many times I've beaten Bloodlines before it broke.
Not cool man, just taking a CGI trailer and passing it off as your own gameplay, im on to you…..
You almost had me for a second there 🤣
AC3 was fluid as fuck
Easy combat to master. Just press a button or two
Easy to kill everyone sure but you still need to practice and learn the game to do it with style, as seen here with tool kills and double tool kills, this video is one of the few I've seen where the player doesn't just spam counterkill or break defense.
The countering system from this game is unmatched.
Nice! Finally someone who knows the combat system properly lol.
I hope AC Mirage has double counters etc
AC3 is my second-least-favorite AC game, which plants it firmly in the category of 'games I can return to and have fun with every couple of years'.
I wanted to love it. I love the idea of it. A super jacked Native American assassin and MURICA as it’s overall theme? Amazing.
So I feel like I’ll get killed for this combat, but I honestly prefer this kind to any other and I hope it’ll be in Mirage.
Gets hit in the video...
That's just a failed attempt to make use of the Jaeger retreating, which leaves him open for a chain kill, but he was too late.
I thought he did it on purpose to make the fight look more dramatic
Just cause he got hit doesn’t mean this wasn’t smooth
I really despise those targeted white lines. Completely destroys immersion
I have been trying so hard to get into this. It's a problem that it is so SLOW in moving the story along.
It's slow to get stated but it does have a pretty deep story
This is so damn good, I watched it like 4 times
with that money you can buy the colonies from the british and skip the war lmao
I loved 3 too. It's underrated. Connor was such a badass.
Even though AC3 is one of my least favorite AC games, I will admit that it did the rhythmic combat better than the other games, the combat was satisfying and the animations were very well done.
Awesome sequence ! Props on the timing.
The combat in the new games is so bad. What a shame. Personally I think the most fun I had with an AC combat system was in Revelations. Not saying it was the best, just that I really connected with it.
AC3 with Revelations trailer theme and Altair’s robes
This game made me feel more overpowered than Odyssey
Probably an unpopular opinion but imo AC3 is better than AC Black Flag
I don’t agree but I can see where you’re coming from
Yezzir
Revelations had such an amazing trailer
Don’t disagree, but not sure how that’s relevant to this 😂
Holy shit how lol
Are you serious or not? This is basically what you do in AC3, it's extremely easy but it looks cool asf
Ac3 is the most over-hated game. Black Flag stole its whole flow no kizzy
While cinematic effects in AC3 combats are cool, I still think that it made the fights less enjoyable. I love combats in AC origins, there so freaking awesome.
Meh. Didnt even switch weapons really or use the rope dart. Average at best tbh
the problem with switching to rope darts is that it takes you out the emmersion because it brings up a menu,
Say what you will about AC3's story but the fighting system is FIRE!
I hated 3
It's my least favourite of the ones I played
Black Flag is next level with its Navel battles, the Sea still blows my mind playing it now.
It's giving kill bill
@redbird699, your weapon selector loadout, please
I certainly enjoyed it too. :)
Bro got Bezos money
Not the casual NPC walking through an active combat zone!
I always find it funny how the enemy just stands there while you’re stabbing someone multiple times.
It has my favorite theme song of all the AC games. When those drums come in it sounds amazing.
I was just playing it and sees this for sure its the best in the combat and animation what i really loved about this is sometime it can have that cinematic look with no hud and precision aiming mode
Amazing video! Would love to see more like it so I hope you make more!
Wait what on earth was that shield in the beginning? I don’t remember ever seeing that.
Connor was a monster on the battlefield
This was also my favourite, i loved jumping around in the trees
I think you got him
I love this song but I prefer the original AC3 Theme.
Just wow! Best fighting scene í ve ever seen!👌
This is a great example of how I would like the gameplay to be in the AC-game of my dreams. Regardless of time period, I don’t really feel it if the playable character is a walking arsenal with armor, maces, spears, swords, rifles and what not.

Really makes you feel like an assassin that can blend in and make the best of his surroundings.
I’m not a fan of this combat system, but you make it look great. Well played.
I loved carrying the Double Barrel Flint Lock. the executions with the axe.
I never understood why Altairs robe physics are so bad in all the later versions of the game, with the lower portion stuck to the legs of the character instead of it free flowing. Like they had better physics for that outfit in the og assassins creed, what the heck.

Your a beast, I didn’t like AC3 that much but after I finish Unity I’m definitely going back and practice its system.
This is my favorite Assassin's Creed game
Im doing the platinum right now and I love this game ! Even the grind makes fun for me haha
I wasn't expecting the music, gave me goosebumps. Great work !
Holy that was smooth and cool asf. Makes me wanna play AC3 again 😮💨 🔥
Casually the richest man in america
If AC series goes back to its roots it could benefit from the Arkham batman style combat system.
How i miss the old ac games lets hope the new one will be as epic
Still my favorite AC game! I love Ezio and Altaire but Connor is the dude tbh
It's so fluid! I'd love love love a PS5/Xbox One X remastered edition, but maybe it's old enough that they'd choose to completely remake the game. idk 🤷🏼♂️
Bad ass
Damn connor has some serious cash!
That was swedome. Which is cider and autocorrect for awesome. If that was an ad for a film I'd be buying my ticket right now.
i still prefer odyssey combat.
The game that i decided to never buy another AC game (tbh any other ubi game) until it's massively discounted
What’s with the weird pause at the start and why did no one shoot you im so confused, thought this was a joke post
Isn’t that the song from Revelations?
What's the name of the ring that protects you from projectiles again?
Same
Man. Imagine if we could watch Connor and Eivor fight side by side. Those two are absolute brutal tanks
Games way to glitchy for me to even attempt that
And this is what Ezio would have done if he not been distracted by Altaïr.
I thought I was the only one who loves AC3.
Thank you for showing me the original sample of a Kendrick song. Also, you're pretty good!
Is that the song from the AC:Revelations trailer?
Today I found out I’m ass at assassins creed
Very satisfying
I love that the enemies just sit their and wait for you to kill their friends before they start their attempt.
that was straight heat
Is it just me or where the graphics better in the pre-RPG style games?
Love AC3
that one high ranking officer countered your attack. im sorry you have (not) mastered the combat
Lol dw it was done of purpose for effect
Amazing game but god damn did they ruin altairs robes in everything after brotherhood
Damn I forgot about Woodkid!
AC3 is in one of my Top 3 AC games
God the sounds of the fighting with the song playing in the back is just so good
As much as I love the combat in Unity the most, absolutely nothing will beat the cinematic style that this game's combat had!
This is my favorite ac game bro. Its just so much fun. I absolutely love the games before origins
The songs name?
Friend and I used to play this game and just walk around beating up guards. The fun part was, you didn't need weapons. We would just leave the guards battered and beaten, unless someone tried to shoot us. Then it was personal.

Hell yeah. It was my first ever AC game and will always be dear to me. And this is synced beautifully
Seriously man! AC 3, in my opinion, has the coolest combat, side story, collectibles and parkour puzzles. This game doesn't the the appreciation it deserves
I must have watched this 4 times kudos to you OP
OP: "AC3 is my favorite game" Also OP: uses Revelation's trailer song
Always appreciate some AC3 love. Connor is a beast! And one of my favorite assassins!
I enjoyed ACIII too, but never played even 1/10 as well as this.
The game is fine, the story and characters however…
This is one of the things I look back on when folks reminisce about the pre-RPG days of AC. The whole idea in the 1st AC was that it was dangerous to get caught in combat, and you were supposed to do everything you could to avoid these situations. That changed so quickly, and before you knew it there was no real tension. It became a game of how well you could press that parry button, and start chaining these combos. I honestly don't miss this at all.
The combat is mostly just watching kill animations
This AC will always have a special place for me, dunno but I love everything: Connor himself, story, characters, setting. I enjoyed Valhalla more, (cause ac3 optional objectives were a pain in the ass) but I put this at the same level, maybe a sentimental thing not so sure. Don’t care if they are different, both are the AC games I love the most.
I would rather have easier combat with bad ass animations than more difficult combat with shitty animations. AC3 animations are god tier imo. Bravo sir
i forgot how connor just slides long distances lol
All games that used this combat system were easy as hell but at least AC3 somewhat made up for it with enemy numbers, while Black Flag and Rogue rarely has you fighting more than 4 at once.
Disgusting cloth physics as always
Best game in serie , in my opinion
Combat in AC3 is extremely easy.
the HUD is different to what I remember is this the remastered HUD 👀
There is no combat to master 😔
How did you get that much money sir? I’m playing the game right now and I need to make a lot of money
I always loved how fast and efficient Connor takes down the enemies.
A very good game. I don't know why people like the Ezio trilogy the most.
Only ac3? Did that with 1 up to 4
After the fifteenth kill I would’ve just walked away instead of jumping in
Slicin and dicin. Beastin and feastin.
So badass, nice
Hearing that theme reminds me of when everyone started to speculate about what AC Revelations was gonna be about and people being generally excited for the next entry. Good times.
How do you get back into the game with no main missions? I keep going into the end credits
And the game still tells you "hey, you know what combat is?" in that popup.
I really miss this combat style in AC it’s so fluid and technical
Game was lit when I come back I still be finding shit that I didn’t know was in it. 4s probably right there with it
But people prefer to use mystical abilities to take them out like a assassin would
I think 3 has an average story but an amazing setting and combat system.
Still don't see the appeal. It was fun at first with brotherhood but the insta kills started getting stale every new title after it
