ASSASSIN'S CREED!!!

[Grisu]

I hate games that offer some new stuff and are sold full priced. It reminds me of the fact that the designers left things out just for holding the release date. - SAY NO TO BOOSTER PACKS!

I pity those that have already beat this game. I've played it a lot, stayed up late the past couple of days, and I'm still having fun and I plan to have a ton of fun for a long time.


There's no need to rush a game like this, and if you did, you're not getting your money's worth at all.

I've done almost everything there is to do in the game bar a few achievements.

And beating the game has no bearing on you being able to go back and enjoy the game.

Will wait for a polished PC version in 2008...

My son Prey_for_death finished the game in 5 hours that was a waste of cash So i'll wait and play the PC version because they are add 2 new city to it from what I heard on Gameers TV Interview with Jade whats hear face.

No, No, and no.

If you just buy games to see how fast you can finish them, then Assassins Creed is a terrible purchase. But if you buy games to have fun and to experience the world that the designers created, then its great.

+1000!!! Same with any game imo...


ALSO....
You can't beat the FULL game in just 5h...
Have you collected every flag?
Killed every Templar?
Reached every viewpoint?
Saved all the citizens?
Done all the secondary assassinations?
Eliminated the groups of 30 guards that occasionally roam the roads?

QFT.

I can see where the negative reviews were coming from, because if you just blitzkrieg this game it's very short and repetitive. But if you take the time to enjoy it (I'm having fun seeing how brazenly I can pick off random guards without getting caught, and killing a rooftop guard then hearing the screams when his body hits the plaza below never gets old), it's really well done.

Here's a nice little easter egg:

And to all those that have the game already:

If you think the combat is too easy, try aggroing a bunch of guards (preferably ones with helmets or templars), and attack them with nothing but the hidden blade. Seriously.....I played through the entire game once without ever using this ability . Now that I've seen what you can do with it.....its ALL I'm doing (second time through the game ). Hidden blade counter attacks are some of the coolest kill sequences I've ever seen in a video game Makes you really feel like a real bad-ass assassin too

Oh, and lol at the Optimus Prime easter egg.....saw it before, still funny

[thedeadlyassassin]

I've noticed a lot of bugs, as in the Assassination of Sibrand, a lot of the guards during your escape jump in the water and suicide, making the escape a breeze (if Altair isn't retarded and jumps onto the posts instead of in the water as well)

And once, damn I wish I got it on video, I killed a guy, he landed wrong, and started doing flips and everything, acting as Mr Incredible getting strethed while doing about 900 rotation in 1 second. It was amazing.

I've also noticed that the ending is very easy if you're smart and use your best weapon...

And once, a guy was running away, but stopped near one of those wooden structures (that painters or carpenters use), I used my hidden blade to finish him off, and fell into the structure and couldn't get out.

[Thrashdragon]

I haven't tried meleeing with the hidden blade yet, and didn't know that you could....but I also just found out last night, completely by accident, that you could melee with the throwing knife.

[thedeadlyassassin]

Throwing knives are my favorite weapon. Just run and wait until they are hanging on ledges trying to catch you and pick them off

i think there's many things we don't know about this game lol

lol.. the short blade (throw knife) is great for melee... such fast speed kicks ass lol...

Actually, when I'm in a crowd of hostiles, I prefer the long sword. It parries better than the short blade, and it has the best combo moves (some good counter moves, though the hidden blade counters are a bit more awesome IMO ). Now after playing with nothing but the hidden blade in combat, the sword and short blade feel like "easy mode"

For all out killing potential though, the long sword wins hands down.

Speaking of easy mode, did anyone else flatout not die at all during combat?


Overall, I thought the game was a bit on the easy side. But a blast none-the-less.


(This is not an exaggeration. I didn't die a single time in a fight.)
