Assassin's Creed

[ArKaiN]

Okay, first the obligatory wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_creed
And the fucking awesome trailer:
http://news.filefront.com/new-assassins-creed-trailer-from-ubiday-2007/
In a nutshell, this is my dream come true.
You're a medieval hitman. You go around a completely interactive city, beautifully modeled in 3d, and you kill your targets as fast as you can, then you vanish. It has elements of the newer Prince of Persia games, MGS, Thief and Oblivion.
And get this: it's based on actual history. The weaponry and the city(Jerusalem) are accurate, the targets are actual people that died(although not all were assassinated).

[hardcoresk8r69]

This game looks fucking sweet, I'm looking forward to this because I just wanna run around the city and stab peeps.

Maybe we get to assassinate a lawyer who thinks video games kill people. Edit: /sarcasm ffs

[Tempest]

This will literally be the best game ever. I bought my Xbox 360 specifically to play this and Gears of War originally. I just reserved it a couple days ago, and I'm eagerly counting down the days until it comes out. What intrigues me the most about it, and what will probably either make or break it as the best game of 2007, is the new control scheme. Forget everything you knew about these lame little attack buttons or jump buttons. In Assassin's Creed, the buttons correspond to parts of the character's body. The game uses its own discretion to decide what action to take when you press one of those buttons in the presence of an interactive item. Run towards a low wall and press the leg button, and you'll hurdle it. Press the arms button, you'll vault it. Things like that will, I believe, make this a dynamic and interesting game worthy of way more hype than it's gotten.

[NVM]

One of the major reasons I'm getting a 360.

The live E3 gave me a few speculations, though the game wasn't complete, I'm sure this will be awesome.

[hardcoresk8r69]

The game is actually complete and they are just working out all the bugs.

So it's safe to say that it will make it's November release. I'm definitely pre-ordering it. I'll get it for the PS3 instead of 360.

[PshSam]

One of the most anticipated games by me. Since i don't have an Xbox and don't plan on getting one, my friend will buy it and many good times will be had.

[I_Smell]

Maybe we get to assassinate a lawyer who thinks video games kill people.

Videogames weren't invented then, you dumbass.

+It looks like a Prince of Persia spin-off, which is cool because that series was really starting to suck.

[Jamez5000]

I've been following it for awhile, Gametrailers.com is where it's at...I've watched all the HDvids so many times and the best is watching the chase video with him jumping from buildings and running across the poles...the fighting looks stale though (based on an early video) so I hope they tweaked it out by now. Can't wait :D

[Jallen]

I may get a next-gen and if I do, this game will be on my get list.

[SlowCheetah]

I hadn't heard of this game until now, but it actually looks pretty sweet. I have and Xbox 360 so ill probably get it for that. I don't think I'm gonna take the extra time to pre-order it though.

[opn4bzns]

Ah fuck, I didn't know the pc version came out later than the others. Damnit, it better not be a shitty port.

[Jamez5000]

Aye, I'm waiting for PC too and I'm hoping the same exact thing....I doubt alot of next-gen games will slack on porting, and in my opinion a pretty big title would make sure it's quality. Most crappy ports aren't really that big a deal to begin with (look at Scarface for example)

[Rainbird]

I've been looking forward to this game for some time, it looks awesome ^.^
But I'm waiting for the PC version as well, the only thing that annoys me about it is that it's so close to the relase of Crysis (which I will be spending all my sparetime on, when it's released)

[hzac]

This is the only (insert genre of game here) I will ever buy. Greatest ever. It is seriously going to be epic.

[Assassin]

It's so awesome. I want to have it so hard. I've been waiting for it sinds June.

[Derelict]

This, NHL '08, and Halo 3 are the reasons I bought my Xbox360. I'm not really that into Gears. Best part about this game is you can interact with absolutely any part of the environment. You can jump on tables and climb up a crack in the wall, or run along a roof and use support beams to go from rooftop to rooftop.

[Cristo]

I've been following this game since forever and I'm soooooooo excited. God I can't wait, it looks absolutely amazing. And you enter three cities (not just Jerusalem but also Damascus and Acre) and do missions in them, apparently there are also a few smaller villages in the surrounding landscape with missions etc. in them.

[hardcoresk8r69]

the only thing that annoys me about it is that it's so close to the relase of Crysis

I know, I'm gonna have to start saving to make it so I can get both. But I'm definitely getting AC before Crysis.

I mean Crysis has amazing ass graphics especially with DX10 but AC has new gameplay, which I have to check out.

[Rainbird]

Yea, I think I need to lay out my christmas wishes for this year. I'm still not sure if I should put AC on my wishlist, or just buy it (I'm looking forward to Crysis the most) :confused:

[Cristo]

Assassin's Creed > Crysis

Crysis has been done before, oh super soldier with a special power suit and you kill aliens? Wow.

Assassin's Creed completely new concept and gameplay.

[G_Havoc]

Crysis is not just about the storyline.

Crysis graphics are the best i have seen on any game ever! :facts:
http://maxygames.no.sapo.pt/Crysis.jpg

Playing the game for 5 minutes would be an amazing experience.

[I_Smell]

Never been done before? Assassin's Creed is Prince Of Persia 3.0.

[Rainbird]

Crysis is not just about the storyline.

THAT is why I'm making the choice I am ;)
And also the engine in general, amazing physics!

[ArKaiN]

Never been done before? Assassin's Creed is Prince Of Persia 3.0.

Minus all the magic bullshit, plus a lot more killing.
I see nothing wrong with that.

[Cristo]

I see nothing wrong with that.

What he said. And stuff about the new gameplay.

[I_Smell]

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying if you like the look of this you might as well play Prine Of Persia.

[ArKaiN]

Or you could play a better version.
That's like saying "why play GTA4 when you can play San Andreas"

[G_Havoc]

Or you could play a better version.
That's like saying "why play GTA4 when you can play San Andreas"

Thats true.
Assassins creed is going to be ten times better than Prince of persia without a doubt, The control system makes it better alone.

[KrazyKellen]

Or you could play a better version.
That's like saying "why play GTA4 when you can play San Andreas"

Not really because these games are in completely different series and the only thing they really have in common is the artistic style and the acrobatic moves.

[Jamez5000]

I just wish there was more gameplay footage ...

[ArKaiN]

I just wish there was more gameplay footage ...

You mean something like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsRWOxGSRWM
It shows gameplay but you have to endure the annoying bitch talking.

[Jamez5000]

yeah Gametrailers.com is my homepage at work...I've seen everyone video on their from Assassin's Creed and that is the only gameplay footage video really, seen it but as I mention, wish there were more :(

[hardcoresk8r69]

yeah Gametrailers.com is my homepage at work...I've seen everyone video on their from Assassin's Creed and that is the only gameplay footage video really, seen it but as I mention, wish there were more :(

I do but at the same time dont, I love to play a game and see one surprise after another. It leaves a lot for us to imagine I guess but then that could lead to over-hyping.

[Shagg]

It's totally like Middle-East Hitman... which rocks.

[junglebunny]

First time I've heard of this game. I'll porbably get it.

[Cristo]

Shaggmuffin, that's exactly what I think.

It's like Agent 47 + Sandbox + Medieval surroundings and weaponry. It's going to be amazing.

[Shagg]

Shaggmuffin, that's exactly what I think.

It's like Agent 47 + Sandbox + Medieval surroundings and weaponry. It's going to be amazing.

Yeah except that clearly this game has more of an open scenary then Hitman; where you had to stay in one neighborhood or building at a time. So I'm going to freakin' love this game, SOOO much.

[Oberlin]

Since Prince of Persia is my favorite series of all time, this game has a place in my library at launch. I already have the collectors edition paid off so nothing shy of a nuclear holocaust can keep me from it. Small chance I might lose my job when it comes out.

[Cristo]

That's hy I said "+sandbox" as in it's like GTA sandbox in that you can roam around and do as you please :)

What about a bite from a brown snake? Or contracting the ebola virus?

[Souldrinker]

Wow, this game looks fucking awesome. I'm not really into computer games, but if this comes out on the PC and you guys give it the thumbs on on that platform, I will definitely buy it.

The graphics look good, and from the sounds of it the gameplay will be fantastic.

On a side note, what's the deal with that Crysis game? Holy shit that looks awesome. Any shots of what the characters will look like in the game?

[Jam_man]

I have been tracking its progress aswell and it looks stunning. I would really consider buying a ps3 console purely to play and gaze at the amazing graphics and work my way through the city by jumping off buildings.

[Shagg]

That's hy I said "+sandbox" as in it's like GTA sandbox in that you can roam around and do as you please :)


Oh, I thought you said it because well.. Jerusalem is a sandy-place. :lol:

This game is gonna be so awesome, and with the PC version of Assassin's Creed postponed to early 2008, I'll have plenty of time to play Crysis ;D

[TheHighwaySong]

Assasin's Creed is really looking like its gonna be a great game. And I love it when real places and real people are implemented into a killer idea like this.

[Jam_man]

Hey does anyone happen to know the song playing during the trailer? because i would be interested to listen to more of their music.

[Assassin]

MAJOR BUMP

10 days left until it comes in stores here. I can't fucking wait. My life will be complete when I have this.

[Oberlin]

Is there much XBL compatibility?

[Jallen]

Assassins Creed is one of the main reasons (out of many) that I want to get a 360.

[Werty]

I'm buying this the day it comes out - assuming I have the money. I just hope they don't absolutely ruin this game with what I've heard. Either way, i'm fucking stoked.

[opn4bzns]

The pc version being delayed makes me want to stab things. I want a 360. :wail:

[OddKid506]

This game has me literally shitting my undies with excitement. Everything detail of the game looks perfect!
But it sounds like it's going to be a fairly short game because there's only a few targets.

Or will it take hours to reach each one?

I love the idea of blending in with the crowd to reach your target and stuffs, but I hear Ubisoft are also basing the next Splinter Cell around the gameplay mechanics in Assassin's Creed. It's dissappointing that they're now trying to turn a succesful franchise into something more or less the same as a new franchise they're releasing.

[Oberlin]

Yeah, I heard tell it's like Oblivion. Not a very long main quest, but insane depth in the amount of other stuff there is to do.

[Assassin]

Is there much XBL compatibility?
There will be no multiplayer, if that's what you mean. There probably will be alot of extras to download tho, I think

Yeah, I heard tell it's like Oblivion. Not a very long main quest, but insane depth in the amount of other stuff there is to do.
I read that as well, which is fucking great. And I read it takes a while to do an assassination, as you'll need to find information and the location of the target first

It'd surprise me if they'd be able to ruin this.

QFT

I hate how they will be ruining Splinter Cell. I'm a huge SC fan but I'm really afraid they'll fuck it up immensely.

[Axel]

OMG i want assasin's creed!! i would kill for it (?)

[The Muffin Man]

This is one of the five reasons to own a 360. Bioshock, Assasins Creed, Halo 3, Jericho, and Mass Effect. (I have already played Gears WAY too much so I need new shooters.) Thats all I see the 360 for is shooters for me. I have the wii for everything else. This just might satisfy me until Brawl. Maybe.

[Bobthedeceiver]

This is the game I've been looking for all my life.

I'll probably buy a 360 for it.

[peteaboda1]

This game does look like it can be really good, I hope they have a demo on xbox live when it is released. I've already gotten guitar hero 3 and CoD4 on day 1 in roughly the past two weeks, not sure if I want to be so quick to spend another bundle of money (CoD:4's multiplayer is like a drug).

[Werty]

One more day. Needless to say I'm getting extremely stoked for the release. I'm trying my damnedest to stay home, but, seems like it won't happen. Either way, tomorrow I'll be on this game all day.

[SlowCheetah]

I havn't decided if I'm going to get it yet. I have enough money to buy either Assassin's Creed, or Call Of Duty 4. They both look amazing, but I kinda want CoD for online.

[peteaboda1]

Again, cod:4's multiplayer is amazing, as well as the single player. As for this game, my friend sent me an ad clip that has fry's electronics selling Assassin's Creed for only 39.99 so I am going to try to price match that on thursday.

[Werty]

Well, that sucks. Gotta wait til tomorrow. I guess I took the day off for nothing then. Is anyone else getting nervous about the reviews and what not?

[BAN ME PLEASE]

It only got a 7.7 on IGN >:[

[Assassin]

It got 9.1 on gametrailers and a 9.6 from the user score

[Werty]

I'm ignoring the scores for now. I mean, seriously. I'm investing $60 into this game, and the last thing I want is to walk into it biased that it will suck. I'm nervous none the less though, ya know?

[BAN ME PLEASE]

:ahe:... That doesn't make any sense. Reviews don't automatically turn opinions one way or another, but I wouldn't want to be spending 60 dollars on a game that's not going to be good. That's what reviews are for.

Anyway it's getting 9+'s everywhere else.

[Tempest]

Only one day left. I'm pretty stoked. I didn't know the release date got pushed back to the 14th though. :indiff: I felt like an idiot when I walked into Gamestop today.

[SlowCheetah]

I have to wait until Saturday unfortunately to get the game. I was going to buy it, but instead I bought CoD 4. So now I'm gonna trade in some games and get it for free, but seeing as I'm not 18 yet I have to wait until my mom'll come down to the mall with me, and she won't come until Saturday. -_-

[Werty]

You can't honestly say that when you read a review you don't rethink your purchase of a game if it's getting a few bad reviews. I mean, I've read a few reviews and I've noticed that they say it's repetitive, which makes me nervous. Shit, I don't know. I'll still have fun with it; especially just going on a massive GTA-esque rampage and kill every guard I see.

[peteaboda1]

How are you liking CoD4 so far? (Gamertag if you want to play online?)
As for this game, it is getting very mixed reviews but it seems like it is worth it. Honestly every game can get repetitive so I am not too worried about it, especially if I can get it for $40.

[hardcoresk8r69]

I'm pessimistic when I read reviews. I scope out all the cons of the game and never put any of the pros into consideration. I'm going to have to trust my gut and just buy this game. I've been looking forward to this ever since last spring and it feels very weird now that it's released tomorrow. I bet GTA4 will be the same way.

[opn4bzns]

There are only nine, very similar missions according to people who got a copy early. The general consensus seems to be that the game is incredible for the first hour or so, and then becomes samey and dull. I'm hugely disappointed. Also, you just hold a button and run to do the parkour.

For me that just means 9 TIMES AWESOMENESS

[Oberlin]

Only one day left. I'm pretty stoked. I didn't know the release date got pushed back to the 14th though. :indiff: I felt like an idiot when I walked into Gamestop today.

Ditto.

I'm going back over in 42 minutes. I'll definitely have a review of the first mission or so by this afternoon.

So I'm a bit disappointed. I went to GameStop, and they only had gotten the Standard Edition in, I ordered the Collectors. They said it should be in early in the afternoon, so I meandered around the mall, by 1:30 they didn't have it yet, so I said screw it, downgraded to the Standard, and they gave me one of the art books for it. So that sucked.

The game so far is amazing. STORYLINE SPOILERS: I expected the game to be set entirely in the 11th century or whenever. Turns out, It's almost futuristic, and the game is set in your ancestral memory. Also, initially in the game, you have every ability you'll ever get, but you lose them and have to earn them back. I haven't really gotten too far as of yet, so I don't know too much. However, I can tell it's quite a good story.

The fighting is a tad repetitive, but on the other hand you're to focus more on being stealthy, and those elements are extremely fun.

[Christian]

When this comes out am I snaggin' myself a copy. I can't wait to get ahold of this, let alone play it. Looks brilliant!

It's for PS3 as well too? 'Cause PS3 needs some good games... they can't just have Resistance: Fall of Man holding their reputation. lol, jk. PS3 is cool, I'm just more of a Xbox360 kinda guy.

Assassins Creed = looks amazing.

[Kwanza]

According to all the stores here, it's not on sale till tomorrow D: Fuck you, Canada.

I literally can't wait for this though. I made sure I powergamed through CoD4 so I could do AC when it came out. So many good games, so little time.

[peteaboda1]

If anyone is in doubt about this game because of the mixed reviews check out what Gabe said about it, Nov 14th. (http://www.penny-arcade.com/) I was iffy about it but he just reassured me. I'll still have it wrapped for a bit until Thanksgiving weekend as I am still addicted to CoD:4 (am a 55 now and working on getting blue tiger for my .50 Cal).

[Tempest]

I will never leave my house again. Not until I've played the shit out of this game. I got it about an hour and a half ago, and I'm just now to the part where I just brought the traitor to what's-his-face and now I have a list of 9 people to kill. I was a little iffy on it when I began and realized that it's actually set in the damned future, but I think they pulled it off. I've seen a lot of reviews criticizing the one-button combat, but fuck that. Even though it's just one button, it's still really fun. This game is definitely worth every penny I spent, and every soda I'll drink staying up all night tonight.

EDIT: I'd just like to add that Leaps of Faith are FUCKING. AWESOME.

[Christian]

So true! Too many games, so little time. haha.

Yea, well, as long as I can play Halo 3, Gears of War, The Darkness and soon Assassins Creed, then I am good. :)

[Werty]

I played this game for.. I think 8 and a half hours today - hardly got repetitive. Maybe it just doesn't take much to entertain me, or maybe I just really want to love this game, or maybe it's legitimately good. But, seriously, try the game before you make any important decisions.

EDIT: Oh, and, just FYI, if you don't like riding through the kingdom(midland between towns), once you do the first three assassinations in the towns, you can basically just teleport to each town. Pretty sweet imo. That, and once you get all your weapons back, the game becomes a lot more fun.

[Oberlin]

Best game I own for the 360, and I've only made one assassination.

[social_lawnmower]

I went to buy it today and it wasn't out in Australia.
I'm disabled.

[Christian]

That sucks... :S

It's like being handicapped. Don't worry, people will recognize the Aussie's soon. ;)

[Kwanza]

Still waiting for the shipment to come in.. god dammit Canada.

[Kwanza]

AND played. This is the most beautiful, and entertaining game I've played in a while. I'm an addict.

[Werty]

I must say, I'm on the 6th assassination, and it's getting a tad repetitive. Just wish there was more to break the repetition, you know?

[Handel]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Anyone else agree with me that this game is the perfect hybrid of Thief: Dark Assassin, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Oblivion?

[Tweek]

I think a review is in order.
Someone?

[Kevosk]

I bought it in Seattle for cheaper and earlier and this game is excellent. Ubisoft put so much work into the little stuff that makes this game great.

[Christian]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Anyone else agree with me that this game is the perfect hybrid of Thief: Dark Assassin, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Oblivion?

I haven't played it yet, but I am hoping it surpasses all of the above mentioned. I loved Theif, that was a GREAT game.

Still waiting for the shipment to come in.. god dammit Canada.

Just keep praying, they will remember us! And then you can assassinate people all day long. :)

[peteaboda1]

I got the game last night and only got through the very very beginning (2 achievements). I must say that even though the combat is a tad simplistic, the finishing moves are very satisfying. I also really enjoy climbing, the animation is so natural its great to watch. hopefully I can get more into the story today to really see how the game is.

[Werty]

I think a review is in order.
Someone?

I'll do my damnedest to give it a review; I think I'm the farthest in so far.

Well, the game is fun. That's probably obvious. The free running, the random assassinations, the large-scale battles of mass killing guards, it's all fun. Even the assassinations are something that gets the adrenaline flow going. There's only one thing I find bad with this game - repetition. It's very fun, I will NOT deny that, but, after 6 assassinations, I don't feel the want to pick up this game and play it further. It seems to have become more of a task than a game. I think there needs to be something to deviate from the constant investigation, free running and killing, ya know? I like this game, but, I fear that it has no replay value after I beat the main storyline.

Oh, and, as for buying, I have no regrets about it, nor do I plan on taking it back, but if you're on a low budget and you're not so sure about this game - rent it before you buy it.

[peteaboda1]

I just finished getting the first assassination (after forgetting I had my sword, not hidden blade out) that scared me at first because I thought the getaway would involve everyone chasing after me. The chase wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, I actually backtracked to pick up some nearby flags haha. I am really enjoying the story so far, and I think that is what will drive me to finish this game, though I don't think I can list who is who when names come up.

[superdoor]

Is assasins creed coming out on pc? if so when? (did i spell assaisin right?)

[knockout]

The pc version being delayed makes me want to stab things. I want a 360. :wail:

When is it coming out for PCs?

Edit: I totally spent half an hour doing stuff before I hit reply so I echoed what superdoor said >.<

[CheesePlease]

I checked Wiki and it states that the PC version has been delayed until early 2008. I'm slightly bummed.

[Mirrorman]

It comes out february 2008. On PC that is.

[Con-Con]

Can't wait it's first on my list to Santa.

[Ishabaal]

I'm almost done with the game, aside from a few glitches it is amazing.

[oPirateSatellite]

It sounds and looks so great. I just hope you can assassinate some civilians to add a bit more fun.

Shank to the face.

[Ishabaal]

You can, but it detracts from your "sync" bar, which is your health.

[Fodniethan]

So is it worth getting on PS3?

[Ishabaal]

Thats what I got it on, and yes it is.

[peteaboda1]

So I am on the 4th assassination in Jerusalem and I am not sure if I am in the right place. I have done everything, excluding about 2 saving citizens, and I am wondering if I am in the right place? I didn't pay too much attention when I went into the bureau but, are you not supposed to have icons of where to go after the 3rd assassination?

[Ishabaal]

You have to explore around, set a marker somewhere in a district you haven't been and climb to a lookout point to find your info points

[peteaboda1]

I have all of the lookout points though :confused:.

[BAN ME PLEASE]

I've played this game at a friends house. I didn't do anything that important, but just going around killing people and such.

I like the climbing and shit, but it's not really that fun. I didn't play it for long so that may be why, but I find it a lot funner to kill guards and people. The animations is totally awesome and seems totally natural when flying around buildings, But the fighting is so simplistic and awesome I just love it.

You would think that button mashing would get old by now, also along with the brain-dead guards, but I love it. The counter attacks are sick and it really feels like you're dealing some damage.

There isn't really any button mashing going on in fighting, all you have to do is hold down right trigger, and press x when one attacks.

I have to say, this game is beautiful, fun, and interesting, but DAMN there are a shitload of bugs! The first bug I encountered was when jumping into the assassin's bureau in Damascus. Altair just sat there in a matrix like jump until I reset my PS3 fortunately the game saves often. Then next was just now in Jerusalem, I had just interrogated the guy preaching by the gate, then a few minutes later I had a massive Frames Per Second loss. I mean the audio became out of sync and everything.

Then a couple things that aren't really bugs just major annoyances, just getting near a horse makes you mount it, which can be irritating when trying to make a fast getaway. On top of that, horse follow you everywhere >_> Oh yes where did altair go? Oh I dunno but his horse is right next to that bench where a guy that looks just like him happens to be sitting :/

Another thing, he jumps way too often, often in Damascus when I was scaling a tower to get a better view, I would jump right off once i reached the top because of the buttons I had depressed from climbing.

Another thing, the guards are informed about you "red eye" when you havent even done anything. I was walking by in blend mode and then all the sudden i was attacked just for walking by. This reminds me of like Grand Theft Auto Jerusalem. It is fun but at the same time there is alot wrong with it that could have been fixed. I would give it a 8/10 tops.

Yeah, I've heard that the PS3 version is a lot worse than the 360 one. Dunno why, though.

[peteaboda1]

Is it possible to be too well known in a city as a killer? Because the second time I'm in Jerusalem, since I couldn't find where to go I just saved all the citizens/killed a bunch of guards. I went to the church in the corner of Jerusalem and the door was open this time, but there was nothing to do in there but sit, so maybe I made it unplayable due to the fact they all know who I am?

edit: You only need to press the right trigger to climb (I had the same problem with jumping when I got to the top).

Well then I guess you could consider that a bug since the game told me to hold r1 and x to climb :/

[oPirateSatellite]

The citzen and guard murdering sounds fun when a group of friends are over, not when your trying to prgress in the story.

I can barely wait to get it. DAMN YOU JESUS! BE BORN EARLIER!

[SODA]

Well, I am sorry to say that I am returning it to the store.

PS3 bugs apparently run rampant and I honestly am too pissed that they released it in this state to play any more of it. I might rent it if they every fix the bugs, but as for now I will be getting my money back. It could have been one of the top 10 games of the year if it didn't get released before it was done.

[Lag]

Frankly the PS3 is the comedy option, as it were.

[social_lawnmower]

Well as soon as the "delayed shipment" docks at merry Van Diemens Land I'll offer my opinion.
What I heard through the wire was that the PS3 version has a smoother frame rate and less bugs :S
We shall see....

[Cristo]

I've played it and I really like it.

I'm on the third assassination, I chose to kill the wealthy Merchant in Damscus first, since I prefer the city of Damscus. I haven't completed it yet but I'm well on my way. It's definitely a good game and the free running etc. is definitely fun, good way of getting around town. I also like the fact that as the game goes on your reputation grows and the guards get more suspicious of you so you have to start acting more carefully - blend in with the crowd or gently push them out of the way rather than just mow them down.

So far the assassinations have been fun and fighting guards is good as well when you get the counter-attack HOWEVER; The whole save the citizens/view points/informers gets really repetitive considering there'se like 10 of each in every district of every city. I think they could have put a bit more into the side missions/mini-missions to be honest because I'm afraid that's going to get quite boring in the long run.

Speaking of Assassin's Creed though: I'm gonna go play some now : D

[Ishabaal]

I'm afraid that's going to get quite boring in the long run.


Nope, it doesn't.

[Imagine_This]

So I am on the 4th assassination in Jerusalem and I am not sure if I am in the right place. I have done everything, excluding about 2 saving citizens, and I am wondering if I am in the right place? I didn't pay too much attention when I went into the bureau but, are you not supposed to have icons of where to go after the 3rd assassination?

You should if you've been climbing up on the lookout points.
Also, LAG.What are you on about? The ps3 clearly overtakes the 360, and wii in power. The wii even overtakes the 360 in power, as did the gamecube and the xbox. The ps3 is the strongest and has the most memory speed, and uh... Cell processor, Blu ray technology? 1432 resolution?! The 360 falls flat on its face, other than it's game selection, but around March of next year ps3 will have a huge selection as well, or.. they'll scrap it and move to the ps4, like they say they're gonna do.

[Lag]

blah blah console wars blah blah
The PC will overtake all three so shuddap.

+So far I haven't played much but have gone through quite enough to tell this game will be just as great as the Prince of Persia Series.

[peteaboda1]

You should if you've been climbing up on the lookout points.

Uh oh...:help:.

[SlowCheetah]

I'm completely addicted to this game, I played for hours today. I don't think I can ever get bored of it, I mean, there's so much shit you can do in it. I'm on the 3rd assassination so far.

[Con-Con]

I'm getting it for Christmas along with Guitar Hero 3 ant one think I should get anything different.

[SlowCheetah]

I have both of those games, and you definately shouldn't get anything different. Unless you replace GH3 with Halo 3 or something.

[junglebunny]

What the FUCK is this game about? Seriously I have never been more confused by a video game. Can someone please explain the storyline or at least what the fuck is going on?

[peteaboda1]

Do you have the game?

If so, You are a prisoner in the future to this company that uses this machine to access this "retired" assassin's ancestor's memories. I am not that far into the game but I do know that there is something the main "doctor" is looking to uncover

[Tempest]

For whoever was saying the game need something to break up the monotony, I believe that part comes when you take over as Desmond and are able to begin piecing things together in the real world. If you're at the 6th assassination (I'm about to the 6th myself), you should already have the access code to unlock your room's door, as well as the access pens for both of the scientists, and the ability to read their emails. Also, make sure you talk to the female scientist every time you come out of the machine.. Not only does it give you an achievement, it reveals a lot of the plot that you'd otherwise miss. To me, this is a nice break from the constant run, jump, kill.

[Assassin]

I finnished it yesterday, and it was fucking awesome. I've never been into a story of a game as much as this. This is deffinately one of my all time favorites. Though, the ending is a bit confusing, it's fucking awesome. There comes this point near the end when you're going to kill Robert, when you have to fight against like, 100 soldiers. Really fucking epic. Unlike other games/movies, the plot twist was really unexpected. To the people that say it has almost no replay value: fuck you. I'm going to start a new game, but without the gps and map and sync bar and shit, so I really have to look for clues. I almost never replay games so that means it really is fucking awesome. I agree that the process before an assassination can become a bit boring, but that's just a small issue compared to the game's awesomeness. I give this game a 1000000000/10.

[peteaboda1]

So I am unstuck, and finished 3 more assassinations, I am now down to the last 2. I must say this is a great story, I think I am going to go ahead and finish the game tonight!

[Oberlin]

I'm stuck on the 4th assassination =/

That one mission where you hafta kill 2 guards in 3 minutes, I can't do it without being seen, i played it for like 2 hours yesterday, and I think that it may have frustrated me to the point of not sharing playtime with Rock Band and Mass Effect.

You don't have to do EVERY objective, just letting you know. I never did that one.
Sadly, I think after I beat this game I'm going to put it up on craigslist for $45. I don't see myself playing through it again, but it has been fun (I am in the middle of getting information about the last assassination).

[Imagine_This]

Of course the pc overtakes all consoles, duh.
It always will.

[Imagine_This]

Also, to get the full story, you need to do everything, aside from flags, and Templars.

But all of the informer assassin, save civilian, view points, it's all easy.

[Con-Con]

How many assassinations are there?Is it a short game?

[Assassin]

How do you mean? Like, more cutscenes?

[Tempest]

How do you mean? Like, more cutscenes?

Not necessarily that, it just gives you more insight into your assassination targets. To be totally honest, so far, the part of the story I've found most interesting is the real life stuff with Desmond. The assassin's backstory is pretty bland, so far, to me.

[peteaboda1]

So I finished the game today and yes, it got pretty exciting at the end (definitely worth it). The only problem I had was the ending.I figured out that the eagle's eye showed all of the blood stains that were from subject sixteen, but the two scientists just seem to leave you on a cliffhanger after the main boss speaks. Did I miss something?

[deadchild90]

Yeah, Can someone please explain what the fuck happened on the ending?

[opn4bzns]

It's a cliffhanger apparently.
I.e, they're going to make you play AC2 to find out what happens.

[Werty]

Yeah, they're planning on making Assassin's Creed a trilogy. I'd just wait for it.

[pyromaniac]

I can't complete it because of a glitch. It won't let me get into the city robert is in to kill him.

[hoLLow TeaRs]

Friend got it, I played it for a bit, it's kind of boring, it's like GTA without missions. i mean it has missions, but they are boring and dumb and really easy.

[Hulabalooza]

How do you read their emails? I just completed the game but I cant access the computer I just sit it says "ACCESS DENIED" and thats it.

[Werty]

I can't complete it because of a glitch. It won't let me get into the city robert is in to kill him.

Which one? Arsuf or Jerusalem?

[Tempest]

How do you read their emails? I just completed the game but I cant access the computer I just sit it says "ACCESS DENIED" and thats it.

That's somewhat of a spoiler, but anyway, you have to find the access codes during the times when you're in the normal world. You find the first one around day 3 or 4, after you're done in the Animus. When you enter your room, the towel closet will be open, and you'll find a key code to open your door. At that point you'll find Lucy Stillman's 'pen' with her access code next to the computer, and you can access her emails. The next day, Vidic will wake you up, then walk to his desk and stand with his back to you looking out the window. Walk up to him and interact, and you'll pick the pen out of his pocket. That's as far as I've gotten so far, don't know if there's more.

[Hulabalooza]

Ok well I found the one in the towel closet but I have no idea what it is now or how to find out what it was.

[Tempest]

Ok well I found the one in the towel closet but I have no idea what it is now or how to find out what it was.

That's the code to your room's door. When you go in and it locks, go back up to it and press the interact button, and you can unlock it.

[Hulabalooza]

Oh OK thanks. Well I think Ive missed the chance to read the emails so if anyone can come up what they say or something I'd appreciate it.

[Werty]

They just give more of the plot to you. Nothing spectacular, but, still, you know?

That, and, I really can't remember what they say.

[peteaboda1]

So I think I figured out some more about the story.How it says on your bedroom wall "I am in the Animus" or something close to it, could subject 16 possibly be the main boss? Or was that a given and I just figured something that everyone already knew.

[Assassin]

I can't complete it because of a glitch. It won't let me get into the city robert is in to kill him.
There are two roads leading to it. One is locked the other one is open.

[SlowCheetah]

I beat the game today, and it is fucking amazing. I read up on it and decoded some of the messages at the end, its pretty sick. Oh, and it's part of a trilogy. You man all know that, but I just found that out a couple minutes ago.

[BKS]

Because of these spoilers, I am now getting the game. Wasn't too impressed by it, but from what I saw, it's a hell of a lot deeper

[Assassin]

I'm replaying all the memory blocks now on my finished account, and it's really fun again. By doing all the investigations now, I come to places I had first not been to, and when you finnish the game, you can kill innocent people without punnishment now, which is alot of fun.

[ArKaiN]

I know it sounds gay, but I find myself just standing in high places and looking around pretty often while I'm playing this. These graphics are almost as good as crysis's.
