Yeah...sure, it's a little repetitive, but I spent like 6-7 hours last night, and then like 4ish hours today, and I still really enjoy it. Going to different viewpoints is fun. Trying to pickpocket, while easy, is still kinda cool. I like the informer assassinate missions. Even though i'm doing a lot of repetition, it's fun.

One negative, and it's more my personal style than a detraction. I don't quite feel like an assassin when I attack my target, I always have to kill a bunch of guys and then the target. I wish they did something more with stealth in killing the final guy that level. You get all that intel (Oh, I collect it all...every citizen saved, every interrogation, eavesdrop, pickpocket, etc), but it's useless. I don't really feel the need to read through it all (though I do, cause I'm a nerd...I sat for 5 minutes mapping up the hints and the map, then realizing it didn't matter in the end).

This just makes me want the Hitman series more I guess. I know I mentioned it before, but that type of gameplay on the kill of the boss, where you have to execute correctly or pay the price would be great.

At the same point, that might take away from their intended run/kill/hide type dynamic, I dunno. I think it's just a personal preference.

Given original reviews/impressions, I wasn't expecting much. I was very very happily surprised.

Maybe you're just farther than I am but I haven't had to fight guys to get to the target, I just do blend until I get up to them and kill them, or I just sprint toward them, kill them, and run as far as I can away.

I went into my Best Buy to see if they'd price match Fry's price, but they ended up calling Fry's and since they were out of stock, they didn't match it. Stupid employees following rules

A Visually Stunning Masterpiece..... Ubisoft knocked the artwork on this title out of the ball park.. Really am enjoying this-1 a lot.

Pretty much agreed on all points.

It would've been nice to have that "pick your own method of attack."

They give you the impression that you can do that but that's not really the case.

Re: Assassin's Creed

How should I be playing th is game? Stealthy or not. I just made it to Damascus and the guards are all over me. Should I be killing them and getting my run on?

Game is great but there is 2 things I do not like.
1.Why cant you just kill anyone, if you kill to many innocents the game will just start back at the last checkpoint.
2.The damn beggars, I am like following someone and a beggar gets all in my face "need some money sir", wish I had money so they would leave me the hell alone. I dont know how many time I have been tryin to assinate a guy and a beggar run in front of me and I kill him/her instead....lol.

I also think it is amazing how you can hide from guards on a bench...lol.

As long as you don't draw a weapon, you're good.

When the beggars come, I use my fist and beat the crap out of them. Punching a beggar square in the jaw is one of the greatest joys in this game along with.

- Re-upping on throwing knives by pickpocketing someone
- Jumping off extremely high viewpoints.
- Sneaking up behind a rooftop guard and "putting him to sleep".

As repetitive as this game is (and it is damn repetitive), I freakin love it.

It's your call. There is no right/wrong way to play.

You'll see the story acknowledges how you play though.

In the cities you don't need to kill the guards unless you help out a citizen or something else that would have them get violent towards you. You can kill them if you want like Pared said but I wouldn't suggest you do that.

Re: Assassin's Creed

Lmao there was a guard on a really tall platform who knocked me off when I tried to get on then he tried to jump after me or something and fell down and died. It was hilarious.

Its pretty funny when you hit a guard with a knife throw and he falls to his death afterward.

Re: Assassin's Creed

I just saw some really dumb AI. There was a group of guards standing right next to each other and I just did a silent assasination on all four of them without anyone noticing. It's not a big deal though since it's the first I've seen of anything like that.

There are all sorts of incidents like that in the game... it's still fun as hell though

I've done something similar. I actually have found it funny, especially in Acre. Kill one guard, the other comes over to investigate, the guard says, "Who did this?" (the accent and way they say it cracks me up for some reason), and then silently kill that guy. "These are dark days indeed." You bet your *** they are!
