Double Eights. The amphibious thing is a long running joke in sports. Back in the 1980's a basketball player named Chris Washburn was getting interviewed, he said that he could shoot with both hands so that made him amphibious. He meant to say amidextrous, he was, let's say educationally challenged. To this day announcers will bring this up or joke about it.

I was just keeping inline with the made up words theme that was going on in the thread. Was'nt making fun of you.

I see.

I just thought you might be an idiot. Whoops.

Re: Assassin's Creed

Just finished reading the article in the newest EGM and, hopefully they are incorrect, because I just went from a must buy to a wait and see. The guys main complaints were a really awkward control scheme, bland settings that get repetitive, a science fiction spin and the comat system sounds like it could be a real pain. I have a lot of hope for this game but if some of the complaints he had about the game are even half true I dont think I will be picking it up. The strangest part, and maybe I hadnt kept up on the game close enough, but whats up with there being a science fiction theme to the game? I was under the impression that you were an assassin but the write up makes it sound like hes from the future.

The sci-fi hook is that he's experiencing an ancestor's memories. Or something like that.

Really cornball idea, and muddies the concept. I wish it was 100% old-school, like Thief.

Not a gamekiller for me, though.

Thats exactly what I thought it was and really was amped for, I may rent it but if the control scheme is as rediculous as he made it sound and the areas are as repetitive as he mentioned then Im not sure how long it can hold my interest. I really hope the guy is completely wrong and it turns out to be a great game. On a side note, how good was Thief anyways? I wanted to try it but it came out and for some reason I couldnt get it at the time.

Re: Assassin's Creed

That Eurogamer article that was mentioned in the previous page mentions something about there being weird stuff going on like seeing "error messages" and stuff like that. I think the article said the producers promised it would be explained early in the game. I'm starting to wonder for myself whether this will become a rent now rather than a sale.

The things that they are talking about are part of the story.

Re: Assassin's Creed

As if we needed further proof that November will assassinate your wallet, Famitsu has heaped glowing praise atop Assassin's Creed. According to a forum post on the Ubisoft forums, Famitsu has given the title a very respectable 37/40, with the individual reviews standing at 10, 8, 9, and 10. Incidentally, Famitsu handed the same overall score to Halo 3. There are some tiny scans of the reviews on the forums, but our Kanji is a little rusty. Thankfully, someone went to the trouble of summing things up. Apparently, the Famitsu reviewers were impressed by the story, presentation, and addicting acrobatics, noting that Assassin's Creed is a true next-gen title. Some knocks against it are the one button combat, confusing map, and occasional camera problems. All in all, it sounds pretty solid. Good news for gamers, bad news for bank accounts.

Re: Assassin's Creed

MAN I'm so hyped for this game. I can't recall being this hyped for an action-adventure game in quite a while.

Re: Assassin's Creed

Wow, that really stinks they had to put a future angle on it and the controls are wack. This one just went to a rental purchase for me. At least there are plenty of other games this holiday season to keep me busy though.
