Assassin's Creed

[KilloWertz]

This doesn't come as a huge surprise given the rumors floating around before it became official. Given how much praise the game has gotten from E3 though, I figured it was something worth posting that Assassin's Creed is officially coming to the 360. It's actually fairly big news because this was one of Sony's big PS3 "exclusives".

Here's a Q&A from Gamespot with the game's producer:

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/assassinscreed/news.html?sid=6156918&tag=topslot;action;1

[r33hash]

Does it say when the game will release?

I want this game in a serious way. It looked insane. I stood and watched the preview at least 4 times during e3.

[r33hash]

lol.

I love fanboys.

[Raevn]

lol.

I love fanboys.
They are so much fun. Especially when they start with the fanboy drooling.

[Steel Onimusha]

that is so ****ing stupid. screw 360.

assassin's creed is going to be good on ps3. and ps3 only. microsoft can eat it. ugh that makes me really pissed off.

I take it you really hate the 360 and Microsoft.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

i love how you call me a fanboy. i'm merely stating that i think the game will only be good on the ps3.

no i don't hate the 360. i have one, why would i have one and hate it. i'm not a fanboy either, and i'm not "drooling" over the ps3. it was a basic statement. never call me a fanboy again. fanboy's would kill people to make them think one system is better, all 3 of the next gen systems have their strong points, and i will have all 3. never call me a fanboy again.

[KilloWertz]

Skywalker, this is a thread to talk about Assassin's Creed. No offense, but your part in this contributes nothing to the topic. There are much better ways to voice your opinion than what you posted.

Now, back on topic. r33hash, it has it listed for 2007 as of now. I don't think anything really has been said yet. I'm really looking forward to it as well.

[H2O Tyrant Sparda]

Wa!!! there are assassians after me! oh shiz!:eek:

[PerfectDark PMS]

yessssss! im glad it is cuz i saw the Demo at E3 and it was sooo freaking sick!!

[r33hash]

and ps3 only. microsoft can eat it. ugh that makes me really pissed off.

That's something a fanboy would say. Favoring one system over the other, especially when we haven't even seen what the PS3 is truely capable of, and the 360 can handle some very serious games and graphics already.

[H2O Tyrant Sparda]

That's something a fanboy would say. Favoring one system over the other, especially when we haven't even seen what the PS3 is truely capable of, and the 360 can handle some very serious games and graphics already.

yup yup yup. exactly

[H2O SkywalkerX]

That's something a fanboy would say. Favoring one system over the other, especially when we haven't even seen what the PS3 is truely capable of, and the 360 can handle some very serious games and graphics already.

saying microsoft can eat it is my personal opinion. i don't really like microsoft's ideas with PC's or some of the 360 games, they just don't appeal to me sometimes.

the 360 and other games are completely different however, and i still disagree with some of the games on the 360. that's just how it is. but calling me a fanboy is retarded. just don't do it.






At PAX the ubisoft booth with the frag dolls were playing an assassin game, where you wore an assassin's creed T-shirt and run around the venue sticking other people with the shirt with stickers. whoever had the most "lifes" (they were forks) at the end won something. i didn't do it, but it was amusing to watch.

[Apoth3osis]

lol... It seems wherever I go, Skwalker has something negative so say about something. Have you ever heard the saying "if you dont got nothing nice to say, dont say nothing"?

Im glad this is coming out on 360, because I dont wanna spend $600 on a system thats basically a Blu-Ray player with some gaming features on the side. Besides the PS3 is "better" (I use quotes, because im not sure how much "better" it really is) on paper, but nobody knows how it'll perform.

But back on topic... this game looks to be pretty gnarly, and I really gald that the powers that be decided to make a 360 version.

[Cr4nf0rd]

I had a feeling it was coming to the 360 and am overjoyed to have confirmation on this. This game looks so awesome and I really like the interesting perspective on the crusades.

[Look Its a Panda]

We've been expecting this for quite some time, and it's not really a big surprise. Yet another PS3 exclusive that's to be released for the 360 as well.

[GeekesS]

Looks oh so pretty! I can't wait to get this on the 360!

[asphix]

this is great news.. the game looks good and I dont think its likely I'll be purchasing a PS3.. so this means I can play it.

Now we just need Heavely Sword! But I think thats published by sony.. so that wont ever happen :(

Ah well. Good news for those with x360's who dont want to go out and blow close to 1k on a ps3.

[H2O Tyrant Sparda]

must buy, it for 360

[Big Boss]

The demo showcased at E3 today is pretty much amazing..

The 6-on-1 fight looked absolutely amazing..a different kill for each person..hopefully the game doesn't recycle kills too much..

The chase scene at the end of it looked like a movie..like a cutscene, but it isn't..it's straight up gameplay..

I'm definitely going to get this game in November..the storyline alone has me excited..

[H2O NINJ4]

dude, you guys, stop the fanboy talk. and i literally laughed soo hard.
.. fanboys are hilarious
but yea, i'm hoping the demo is going to be up soon cause i don't want to base my opinion on videos. almost certainly getting this game.

[Italy]

I read somewhere at IGN that Assassin's Creed was due to release in October or September. I've been keeping tabs on this game for a while now, and its one of the reasons why I'm upgrading from the Xbox to the 360 and getting rid of my Wii(not to mention there aren't many good games on the Wii right now). IGN posted that Assassin's Creed has a sort of free-run feature, where you use a thumbstick and the X-button I think. It allows you to climb to any place in the game that you can see. It's awesome if you ask me, and will be one of the best releases of the year: IMO.

EDIT: Read the article here (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/802/802794p1.html).

[Destiny1]

yep i know i saw the trailer, and trailer demo for it and it looks great it looks like they have spent alot of time on it especially since it shows that one event doesnt happen twice so basicly like in story mode if an enemy goes to a market and you like restart your system and you try to cheat by intercepting him at market he will not be there because he will be at a dif. place so thats cool how like the machine thinks for itself

[Italy]

Yeah, apparently they're smart AI. I think it's gunna be one hell of a gaming experience. This way, no matter how many times you replay the game, it'll never be the same!

[Destiny1]

yep i know thats the good part so like you might never get bored I HOPE......

[Italy]

Yeah, definitely not gunna get too bored. Plus, you DON'T have to do missions. You could just do the free-run thing until you die of old age. There are plenty of... what was the word they used... "high points" in the free-running option. Such as visiting the high points in the city, or free falling from a building top into a wagon filled with hay. There are endless possibilities....

I can't wait to get it!

[H2O Eagle]

the game really does look awsome i just wanna know how it plays

[Apoth3osis]

I hope when this game ships, it's better than that guided demo they put on at Microsoft's E3 press conference... YIKES

[Italy]

According to IGN it plays awesome. They say it's the first of the "next-gen" games, and it breaks through the barriers set for previous and new games.

As for the gameplay, according to IGN, and other companies(can't name any off the top of my head) the game isn't guided at all. No one is required to do the missions, but they are available to play. Gamers will be able to spend hours just running around the city of Jerusalem(and the other two cities), trying to get to certain rooftops and trying new stunts.

[Italy]

Still can't wait for this game to come out. It'll be the number one game on my list this year!

By the way: Has anyone heard anymore about the Sc-fi feeling about this game? Something about futuristic times trying to find relations between descendants of Assassins?

[Freakstylez]

I will laugh when you all realize just how much garbage this game will actually turn out to be. I thought it looked brilliant, too... until Ubisoft was stupid enough to reveal gameplay footage. See, that's Ubisoft's weakness: gameplay.

In the meantime, I'll be waiting for Ninja Gaiden 2.

[ZanaOyakata]

Maybe its just not for you. I for one think the gameplay is looking good. To each his own.

[Freakstylez]

Are you one of those people who doesn't like to have any control over the character?

Ah, then I guess you would enjoy Assassin's Creed.

[Italy]

Hmm... I was under the impression that you had control of the character. Care to elaborate on "no control"? I mean, if being able to climb any wall, fight straight through, and other things like that aren't considered controlling the character, then what does?

[Freakstylez]

When you put out $60 for this, you'll see what I mean.

Then again, if you enjoyed Prince of Persia, you might just buy into this crap.

[Italy]

Well, I guess its the fact that I won't be the one playing, and that I thought Persia was ok(could have been better). I still think this game is going to be awesome but I wonder, what happens whenever you decide to give it a try(if ever) by borrowing a friends copy or whatever and then decide that you like it. Would you change your mind then or what? If you ask me, it looks very promising!

[Freakstylez]

I can tell by the trailers that I will not like it. I thought Prince of Persia looked pretty good... but when I finally played it, I couldn't bear to play it for more than 20 minutes.

For me to enjoy this game, they'd need to: a) remove those massive battles... it just looks completely stupid to be surrounded by 12 guys that stand there like morons; b) make it truly free-roaming. I don't want any of this "you can accomplish anything in any way you please" crap only to find that there's only one way to assassinate somebody because they want to add "difficulty." The one trailer I saw made me want to cry... there's a guy giving a speech, and instead of just tossing a shuriken or knife or whatever it is your character uses, he jumps down and fights them all.

It's not likely I'll enjoy it, but I'll probably rent it just to confirm. I don't want to continue saying it's garbage if by some miracle it is actually decent.

Though, to be fair, I didn't like Ninja Gaiden at first... then again, I hadn't really played it, either. Ninja Gaiden Black turned out to be one of my favorite action games ever.

[Italy]

I see... that makes sense, though I'm still psyched for it. I'm usually more of a shooter guy, with a really good RPG every once in a while(haven't played one in forever), so I guess I'm hoping this will be the awesome RPG i've been waiting three years for.

[H2O Xanadu]

Ninja Gaiden is garbage, wish they would stop making that trash! :P

[Freakstylez]

If Ninja Gaiden were garbage and we eliminated it, and every series worse than it, we wouldn't be playing any action games. So, good luck with that. :P

[Largo]

Ninja Gaiden is garbage, wish they would stop making that trash! :P

haha, you funny. :P

Well ive got plenty of opinion on plenty of whats been said but hey im lazy so yah.

The actual map area is huge, and the strat guide is over 400 pages. So its a pretty massive game. That doesnt say its going to be good, and yes i agree some of the videos looked like crap, many glitches, but that was an old video, the newest one is much better and fluid.

Oh and as far as prince of persia, i think you should give it more then just a 20 min try, you never know by such a short time span. Offcourse i know exactly how it is to be disapointed with a game and just never giveing it the real chance it MAY deserve.

Ill be getting assassins creed on the PS3, mainly due to the fact the game initially came out and was built up on the PS3 so i feel it will just be made better on that system, They will most likely be exact duplicates, or the 360 will have somethign better lol, like ussual but my PS3 needs games, and i think i will enjoy the control scheme on the PS3 controler a bit better i guess. I wasnt going to get this game, but teh awsome 200 page art book convinced me to reserve it, and the awsome lithograph with teh special edition strat guide aswell.

As far as teh 360 and PS3 exclusive, i feel its pretty stupid for any game thats not made by sony or microsoft to be exclusive. Unless Microsoft pays it TONS to keep it only on the 360 like they did with Bioshock.

I do feel Microsoft is a cash cow monopoly when it comes to things. They use there over ubundance of money to get what they want like a spoiled child. But im happy assassins is comeing to the 360. (even though im getting on the PS3) (which by the way i got an awsome deal on my PS3, otherwise i wouldnt of wasted my money on it at its rediculuse price, and low amount of good games. Which is acctually changeing to a degree. so yay) Its nice owning all three systems.

[Freakstylez]

Prince of Persia doesn't deserve more than 20 minutes. It was enough for me to know that it sucked.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

lieunacy. honestly. you're opinions can be argued till time ends. until god smotes thee. because that's what they are, your opinions. like your opinion that ninja gaiden is the best action game ever, i myself (as you can see) think dmc is one of the best with ninjag coming in at a close second. there's also people out there that enjoy prince of persia.

and like you i was very discouraged with assassin's creed, never really looked into it, saw trailers and was like "meh". but then i saw a live demo at PAX '07. and WOW. not only are you completely wrong about "not having any control" but you saying this is like prince of persia then you are completely bonkers.

the fight scheme yes is very none assassiny and is more warrior eshce. but you have to think about it, if you make a game where you don't have to really do anything but throw a shuriken and run away it'd get boring fast. but even if you did that, i'm sure the AI would find you, as it is completely intelligent in this game, and they don't just "stand there like morons" you actually have to fit in combos and battle multiple enemies. the sword fighting is very well done. you can also decide to do some secret killing, run away, and hide, then it will go into a high up 3rd person view. and yes the enemies will follow you, and if you hide well enough, eventually they will go somewhere else. this game is different than any other action game, and i can't wait and am looking forward to it.

[Italy]

I wonder if it'll be like real time gameplay. As in you play through the hours of the day... I haven't seen any night time footage, like at all, so I'm worried about how they're planning on doing that!

[Freakstylez]

as it is completely intelligent in this game

Yes, that's why a lone assassin can take on 10 men at once.

like your opinion that ninja gaiden is the best action game ever

I didn't state that, I simply qualified Ninja Gaiden as one of the best action games. As in, there isn't one better that I could name. Devil May Cry is a series I haven't played much since the very first game, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In any case, what I've stated about Assassin's Creed is fact. Of course, not everyone will go along with facts; I know I sure as hell don't. A lot of people would say Deathrow is a garbage game... and from a technical standpoint, that's a fact. I personally enjoyed it. Metroid Prime? Technically a good game, well put together, etc. I hated it.

Fact is, Assassin's Creed will suck. Will that stop people from buying it and enjoying it? No.

(And I don't know how you think the PAX trailer looks any better. It's more of the same, though I admit that some of his attack animations looked somewhat cleaner.)

[H2O SkywalkerX]

(And I don't know how you think the PAX trailer looks any better. It's more of the same, though I admit that some of his attack animations looked somewhat cleaner.)

i said live demo. meaning i watched the lead developer play it. it wasn't a trailer which you are getting your opinions off of. what i saw was indeed true and raw fact. not based off of a scripted item.

you keep saying "it will suck". as it's everyone's opinion that it sucks. a more meaningful statement would be "i think, or in my opinion, it will suck" otherwise. i'll just disregard what you say.

gah i need to stop because your actually angering me. you're being hypocritical and thus forth i leave this thread.

bye bye :D

[ZanaOyakata]

Oh yes you know what the rest of us like. Just because we are looking forward to it doesn't mean you have to come in here and spoil the thread. Did Ubisoft or Jade Raymond kill your parents or something? Come off it.

[H2O Bunnys]

Would have to greatly agree and would also have to agree with Skywalker.

[Italy]

Have you seen the new full mission walkthrough, narrated by Jade Ramond? I think that looks amazing, not fake at all and a lot better than any other game I've seen. Frankly, I think you're crazy for saying it won't play well, it'll such, and that the facts are against it. Maybe you should wake up and smell the coffee, this game will be one of the first to define "Next Gen Gaming".

[eLDYYYY]

this game is sooo bad ass! ur free to do anything in this game! i kno imma get it when it comes out! this is uber realistic! that trailor was badd asz

[Largo]

I like Candy Canes, oh and you guys shouldnt let a guy with the name of Lieunacy get you riled up, he is a loon after all. ^_^

And most likely Assassins Creed will be a good game and get good scores, but there will always be those dumbasses who think they are better then that and try and say the game sucks just to try and look cool or something, i think those ppl are cute, and i want to adopt them and take them home with me, and tickle and laugh and smile at them and say "awww how cute is dis widdle guy, oh yes you are, you are such a cutey yes, yes, yes, you are."

Looks like you didnt like my comment, sorry, the second part of my comment wasnt directed towards you whatsoever. And you shouldnt of gotten offended by the first part, its your name, your loony haha so why are ppl letting a loony guy get them riled up, you know. Well anyways, sorry if it offended you, was not my intent. Take care.

[Freakstylez]

Only the first sentence of the post I deleted related to you, and apparently mistakenly.

The rest of it, which was 7 or 8 paragraphs total, was centered on Assassin's Creed. I just figured it would be best if I deleted it, however, because I didn't feel like putting up with whatever smartass comments people would retort with.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

god i was doing so good until you decided to blatantly bash people here.

on assassin's creed

i can not wait for this game. it's going to be really interesting and fun. i want to see how they incorporated the giant wilderness land inbetween the cities. and how those work towards missions and stuff. maybe some cool secret stuff. i also cant wait to run around on top of buildings and hide from enemies and slaughter them from behind. mwhaha. but yeah, i need to reserve this, i have yet to do so. in fact i need to reserve a few things that i havent yet lol

[Largo]

i want to rea every last bit of the post too :(

haha, no skywalker i just wanted to make sure he new it wasnt directed at him. Just at hose kind of ppl, and if he wants to put himself into that catagory and get offended by it then he has every right to do that.

Skywalker i loves you ^_^ its a thread of love YAY. anyways.

Im looking forward to the game big time, it should be good. I had it on reserve with the 360, but when i got my hands on a PS3 i switched it to that since the game was technically built for that system. It should run smoother on it. Im only going to miss the achievments, well only if they have fun ones like they had on Crackdown. ^_^ But i also cant wait for Uncharted: Drakes fortune. That looks really good too, i will probably ptu Assassins creed on hold to just play through that game real fast since its much smaller, then get back into Assassins. ^_^

Remember guys this is Wertz thread, and its a love thread. ^_^ No haten, not even haten the haters.

[eLDYYYY]

Assassins Creed= Baddasss Game

Nuff Said!

Everyone Who Posted - Me = Losers ;)

[Crash]

Now that the game has gone gold, did anyone hear any more information on the console specific problems that were popping up at the late end of development? The word from the studio was that Creed was having trouble fitting into a 360 disc while it was all fine on PS3. On the flip side of that they were having problems with the PS3 memory.

I'm definitely excited about playing this game, but I want to make sure that I don't get a version that is either missing some content or is jerky.

[Osiris H2O]

I've been looking forward to playing this game, but I do have to say that I was disappointed in the videos of the combat in the game. It looks like the enemy politely waits to take you on one at a time.

Even with that said, I am still looking forward to trying it out for myself and will hold final judgement until I've gone through a few good hours of gameplay.

I hope it's as good as I have been expecting.

[Crash]

The first review came from Famitsu 360, who gave it a 37/40....a promising start!

[Freakstylez]

I've been looking forward to playing this game, but I do have to say that I was disappointed in the videos of the combat in the game. It looks like the enemy politely waits to take you on one at a time.

I'm not the only person that thinks so! Amazing.

But yeah... there are a few other things that look disappointing, too. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft, so instead of holding out for the final judgment, I kind of jumped the gun.

Time will tell, though. If it's as awesome as it originally sounded, great.

[Seatownstriker]

This game looks friggin awesome. Can't wait to play it. Saw them do a demo at PAX this year.

[Zodiak]

I can't really decide on this game or not. I mean I seen the previews, read the reviews, I'm just a little afraid of wasting the cash.

Maybe it will have expansions like Oblivion? hmm, that would be neat :)

[H2O Bloody]

I haven't really heard much, all i can say is this game looked amazing during E3 Microsoft convention. it was one of the 5 games that had me drooling (not Fanboy drooling) but i can defiantly see this being a must have game.

[Vengeance]

i was able to get one of the E3 posters of this game...it's pretty cool. I'm pretty sure that it is the cover art, but this is a huge game and i can't wait until it's release.

[Largo]

So let me ask you this, how many kill or be killed fights have you been in? How ready would you be to jump in and attack an individual wielding a sword with such ease? You ready to die with just attacking right off the bat, or wait for an opertunity? hmmm Im guessing you would call yourself a gamer, so you have played many other games. How many of these said games have you been surrounded by foes, and only one to two maybe three of them attack you, when ten are surrounding you? Im sure EVERY game youve played has the same thing, Even the recent Heavely Sword, i had soilders surrounding me, sometimes one at a time, sometimes several, Same way with God of War, these are two very well made and respectable games. But if you guys wanna try and think you have a POINT with what your saying its just water in a river to us real gamers who know whats what, here one second and taken down river for someone else to swim in for a split second only to keep drifting serving no purpose whatsoever.

[Kestral H2O]

yeah not everyone is God mode rambo...made it more realistic..his skills are honed into assassin skills, but there is a limit to the people you can fight haha

[Italy]

I just reserved my copy yesterday! SO happy! I'm going to pick it up on Wednesday of next week, and I'm hoping that I won't be missing H3 practices.... Oh well, I think I'll have all my practices by then... with four hours tomorrow and the next day...

[Arbee H2O]

So has anyone played this yet? Would love to hear what first impressions are on the game. Haven't been able to pick up a copy yet.. hopefully soon :(

This is very negative. "us real gamers"? Chill. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion--everyone deserves the opportunity to make it without being chided.

[FelixFortuna]

The reviews for Assassin's Creed have been incredibly mixed. 'Hoping someone who has bought the game might be willing to share their immediate thoughts and evaluations of the game. Thanks!

[moonieass13]

I cant get the game until tomorrow.. released on Thursday not today :(

[Italy]

I can't get it until Friday... my sis only reserved it not pre-ordered it... unfortunately...

[H2O Xanadu]

I got the game, assassinated someone and I got to say.. I am enjoying it. The fighting in the game is fun and actually takes timing to get down pat. The story line is NOTHING like I was thinking it was going to be (which you'll see from the moment you start playing). But assassinating people and scaling walls, great fun. If you get it, get it for the 360 because the PS3 I hear has horrible as hell slow down and lag which is uncalled for. I've yet to experience anything like that on the 360s version.

[Largo]

This is very negative. "us real gamers"? Chill. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion--everyone deserves the opportunity to make it without being chided.

I agree with you sir. But if you would kindly look back at all the former posts, and the ones that the said person you are defending has erased, he was and is the negative nancy, whom we all have given many chances to stop being negative on this thread yet he has failed to do so, as far as my comment being negative, it really isnt, our points our made, and are measured. The only person who can take it negatively is the person it was said to, and im sure he will appreciate the comment back to him, he is a loony guy after all. lol

[Kestral H2O]

This game totally kicks some butt

[H2O Bunnys]

I love this game so much i was playing it lastnight and just wow... so far ive done little with the game but have instead explored the surrounding areas which is alot of fun imo

[Guttler]

i want this game so bad.

[Crash]

Agreed, it looks awesome. Now if I can just pull myself away from CoD for 5 minutes =X

[kashinthegreen]

I've just spent a couple of hours playing this for the first time.

Awesome. Really immersive, intuitive and simple interface allowing a whole load of interactions and skills, funky storyline. I feel another large chunk of my life is about to be lost :D

[Kestral H2O]

the game is so innovative...I mean Assassin! woo

[PMS Furied Fate]

This game is awesome. It's a bit linear with the story. But the execution is awesomely awesome.

[Hadokenchild]

[QUOTE=Largo;223744] How many of these said games have you been surrounded by foes, and only one to two maybe three of them attack you, when ten are surrounding you? Im sure EVERY game youve played has the same thing, QUOTE]

Actually, The Mark Of Kri for the PS2 is a shining example of how groups of enemies would simultaniously attack your blind sides while you are engaged in a fight. This made the combat very very challenging and fun.
I am also one of those who was a bit let down that the video clips of combat showed it to be a bit slow (this is a similar sentiment shared by 1up and EGM who played it a few months before it was finished). For those who have it, how is the combat system working out? How does it work?

This game kicks major salt! I just invested 4 hours into the game, and there is so much to do I only barely finished the first target before my mom made me turn the game off! So far I think I've already earned nearly a hundred achievement points, which quite amazing to me. I also think this game will make it huge, and I'm praying that they decide to go on with the Trilogy.

Five out of five stars, IMO!

[Italy]

Yeah, i give it 5 out of 5. The gameplay is amazing, though the fighting style in the game takes time to get used to. I am having some trouble with a few cases of "saving citizen" parts. I'm just not quite used to fighting yet, though I have taken like 3 steps towards figuring out counter attacks. Out of the four hours i spent playing the game, two of them were spent exploring Damascus and jumping from roof to roof (first hour was spent on getting to Damascus and the intro type thing at the mountain headquarters).

Tomorrow I will probably ditch halo 3 for about eight more hours of gameplay, lol! Oh, and I did experience a glitch. While trying to get down from an observation point, somehow my left arm disappeared and i couldn't move... it was like the game got stuck for a suck, so i pushed the "drop" button and died. Only to restart at the observation point, though I was able to climb down safely this time.

Oh, and by the way, assassinations are more fun and cool than Jade Raymond led us all to believe!

[black mamba DSO]

I started playing this yesterday and I love it so far! it's really cool :)

[EE TW1STED]

I need to buy this game..heard so much about it...

[Ampshi]

Okay, I was reading on IGN that they say Assassins Creed is one of the top 5 Biggest let downs in video game history. Honestly I was looking forward to this game for a year all the hype on it and how awesome the commercials made it look. So of course the first day I went and bought it got home and started playing and OMG the first half hour of that game was AMAZING, everything was looking great like a game of the year award or something, but after that it slowly became repetitive, same thing over n over again, EVERY mission involved going to one of the 5 citys and pick pocketing, interigation, and saving citizens .... Everything was mapped out for you and simple (boring)... then you would assassinate your target and return and repeat and the ending is so garbage :/. This is sadly dissapointing for a game with so much potiential, the graphics move so smooth as you jump over buildings and the combat is awesome, but it doesnt seem like it deserves it title of *assassins* creed, because most of the time its just a out straight brawl and then you run up a building jump in some hay and your safe. anyways just thought id share my opinion to those who are thinking of buying it

Oh and I noticed alot of you saying your free to do anything.... Theres nothing to really do, people walk around use the same boring quotes you kill one you loose health and gaurds come after you, thats sadly about it, theres no stealing items getting money for upgrades nothing you cant interact with people, you can run around the top of buildings, pick pocket ONE type of person for some throwing knives, and thats about it. You cant go into houses and see familys there, everybody is pointlessly walking around. you can get a few hours of enjoyment outa it then it gets very very ... old. thanks for your time

[1968amx]

Yea i mean i saw this one coming... predicted a Tenchu Z like game some people love it others don't I myself can't stand any game where your going to be doing the same thing all day long stalk kill save repeat I wash my clothes once a week isn't that enough repetition in my life already?

[edx]

Ty for your review, saved me 60 bucks;)

[kashinthegreen]

Played a whole day of this now, and i see what people mean about the repetitive format of the missions. I can't see myself playing this all the way through in one go, I think I will be dipping into a memory block every now and again over a few months. Shame they couldn't have used the imagination that made the world and the story to make up the gameplay.

In good news, the graphics just get more and more awesome. The fights etc do get more challenging, and you get more moves and weapons as you go. I was just taking on 6 guards all attacking here there and everywhere, and doing some very flashy attacks and counters (my fave involved stabbing him in the kneecap, then the head as he fell over).

Oh and the horseys rock.

[Italy]

The "horseys"(lol) are a lot more real in tis game than in any other "horse usable" game I've ever played. IN oblivion, they're stiff, but you can actually see Altair steer the horse, quite amazing if you ask me.

[Freakstylez]

With any luck, the Marketplace will have a demo of it soon so I can get a feel for it. I don't exactly have the money to blow on renting/buying games at the moment.

I doubt I'll be giving it a very high personal score, but we'll see if I can't enjoy it enough to get a few achievements. :)

uh huh, and they get impatient and huff and throw their heads about if you mess them around too much. I could probably just ride around Kingdom for ages. Definately the best game horses, even though they can't charge like thewar horses in Kameo, that was cool - but not realistic.

On another note, I also like the noise when you stab someone through the top of the head - very satisfying, does that make me a bad person?

[Rip]

I wasn't planning on getting it anyway, just too many games and not enough time, but this is indeed a shame after the hype :(

[Largo]

You and I know you dont wash your clothes ONCE a week. :P

I knew what i was getting into when i bought this game, and i never let the hype get me either, the only game that im really hyped up on, which didnt have hype, so i hyped it up myself is Uncharted, Drakes Fortune. Anyways. Research done is well worth understanding a game before you buy it.

[VballChick PMS]

meh, i will still rent it for the gamerpoints lol

[tehnaz]

i wasnt interested in it anyway. id be the same though rent it out for a checkout but thats all

[H2O Xanadu]

I purchased it even though I knew there was repetition and I enjoy it. Of course i've spent about 8 hours in the game and most of my attention and hours spent on mass effect. The story though in Assassin's Creed so far I think its nice and wasnt what I was expecting.

[NeXuSIoN]

Yeah, better off renting. I'm one of the few that bought it, lol. Fun... Just repetitive.

[H2o Redeemer]

thanks for the review I was about to buy it tonight but instead I'll just go rent it and save my money for rock band.

[B1gg Randall]

meh, i will still rent it for the gamerpoints lol

Lol thats the same thing I was thinking...lol :hooray:

[Italy]

I bought it, and I think its pretty good. Interesting storyline, but like you said, repetive and not much to do. I spend most of my time just going through the game itself, and exploring for the flags to get the achievements.

[Zodiak]

True it's a little repetitive, but it scores points in awesomeness to flee from the soldiers or free fall from 2000 feet up in the air.

Is it me or does game feel like Zelda a bit? :swordfight:

[KRL87]

I love this game.. I rented it.. Its so good. I can't seem to turn it off. Yes repetivie.. but almost in a good way.. and Jerusalem looks amazing in the game. That golden roof when you first get in, is still there today.. its probably the holiest(sp) landmark in the world.

[H2O Tyrant Sparda]

Have it beaten it and love it. i give it 8/10 it has a few things I would have wanted differantly but other than that its good. things such as wall sneaking, crawling crowching, crossbowFPS mode, and wall running.
but sinces its already confirmed that there is a sequal coming out, i will start my hibernation early this year. later everyone.

[Freakstylez]

It's not technically great, but I just played it for a while at my friend's and man is it mindlessly entertaining.

Pouncing on unsuspecting guards while they converse... win.

[Chaoswarrior634]

I thought the story was interesting, I didn't think it would be a sci-fi kind of game. But when you first start it pretty much gives that away.

[The Geeky Panda]

playing it but getting mixed feelings about it already, its good n stuff but there are some parts I don't like about the game and yeh the huge twist got revealed TOO DAMN EARLY, but yeh I will continue playing it, got a week before I can just go to GameStop again and trade it in for another game.

[Freakstylez]

I see flags in my ****ing dreams now. Or I will when I start sleeping again. Talk about a chore...

[H2O Sonik]

finished it.
cant wait for AC 2 and more jade raymond.


i HOPE there is a relationship with desmond and lucy (which was modeled after kristen bell who i have the biggest crush on)

[BlackwaterReap]

Terrible game.

Got bored of it very quickly, the historical accuracy of it is on par with Harry Potter and the Gameplay is repetitive, lacks innovation and general sucks the balls.
