Assassin's Creed

Re: Assassin's Creed

True, but still a fun and good game even with repetition.

I have found that a very good way to really enjoy Assassin's Creed is to make sure it is not the only game you have to play. I was mesmerized with it when it began, the gorgeous graphics, animation, play mechanics, everything was simply amazing. Once some of the magic wore off and I bagan noticing its flaws (the repetition mostly), I would play something else for a while (Uncharted fit this spot perfectly). Then when I would go back to AC after a break, it was amazing again.

I still have to go back to it to beat it. One of my "breaks" (Mass Effect) ended taking up more of my time than I anticipated, and my breaks from that game ended up being Rock Band and CoD4 instead of going back to AC.

But this extra long break in then end I think will be even more beneficial to my Assassin's Creed experience (as crazy as that sounds), because I have not played it now in weeks and I am really looking forward to continuing where I left off.

LOL! Yeah, I'm working on completing all the side missions. I hope they release a patch for the flags like they did for Crackdown where there was a guide on screen helping you find the flags.

Yeah, they are sometimes difficult to find with the huge map from the strategy guide.

I'm hoping that they do release some kind of patch, that would be cool.

Re: Assassin's Creed

expect great things the first hour or two then that same thing over and over and over..... i havnt picked my copy back up after buying it the first day.

That about sums it up. Very repetitive, making it a decent game, but sure as hell not great.

Re: Assassin's Creed

Well, my opinions of the game will be delayed, because the copy that I rented was too damaged to read.

That happens about 1 out of every 3 games I rent at that damn place.

Where do you rent? Local place?

Yeah, I traded it in earlier for another copy of Assassin's Creed, and I've been able to play it for a few hours. The story already has me intrigued.


Anyways, the game has been good thus far, and I can tell that it will begin to get repetitious. The graphics and sound are great, but the controls could have been touched up a bit, as well as the camera. The guards also seem a bit too sensitive.


So far, I'd rate the game between an 8.0-8.5. I don't think it's the best of the best as far as 360 games go, but it's still good fun. It's a unique experience and the sort of game the 360 was desperately needing.

I agree, the AI guard logic at times isn't right. I could be walking/slow running and get a lot of attention. Or I could be climbing a wall next to a secure area with a bunch of guards looking up asking, "what can cause him to do that?"

That is messed up and so is the fighting mechanics, many times I tried to dodge attacks or counter which resulted in me getting stuck in motion. I hope they fix it.

I beat the game today, I'm rather confused with the ending of the game now. I'm just standing in that facility with nothing to do unless I'm missing something. I thought someone said you can go back to the cities?

Go to your room and press Y. You'll see stuff on the wall and after that the credits will start. After the credits you can go back into the animus and do whatever you want

Sweet, thanks jmood. I thought it was a very good game, I'm hoping with AC2 they cut down on the repetition.

Re: Assassin's Creed

Just finished it today. I loved the game, but I was confused about the ending. Then I saw a link in this topic that explained the ending which helped out a lot, but I have a question about Desmond's last memory

Spoiler

Why didn't Altair destroy the Piece of Eden? All of a sudden, the earth was shown by it, and he couldn't destroy it. And who were the three people that came up next to him at the end?

I'm guessing those three people were Templars.
