Assassin's Creed

[Nickisimo]

AC was a weird game for me. When I look back on it, I think I really enjoyed it, and yet, 90% of the game fell square in the 'meh' category. The stealth mechanics were broken, the missions were repetitive, the fact that you had to start at your HQ each mission and then go all the way back out to a city was tedious and my word does someone need to tell Ubisoft that you can give a story a meaningful ending and STILL create a sequel(if I see one more "To be Continued" from them, I'm gonna snap).

That said, there was something in the game that left a lasting impression though. Once I got into a city, scaled the nearest wall and started hopping on the rooftops, I was hooked. All of the wall jumping and acrobatics were so fluid and well done that I forgot about most of the game's flaws. The story wasn't terrible either, but could have used a little less remorse after kills; I'm an assassin, I don't want to feel bad about doing my job.

If they take everything that wasn't the jumping, scaling part of the game and touch it up, I think AC2 will be a pretty decent game.

when I play it, I rush through all the main missions so I can do all the side missions like saving citizens and killing Templars, but I love the whole climbing up every building and leaping for ages


but yes it gets old so so so fast

Good grief, have people been watching too many zombie movies to prep for the Genre Wars? Cause a lotta people have been bringing dead threads back to life.

I liked Creed. It was fun for a while. A little too much grind killed it though.

Does anyone else find Assassin's Creed to be rather repetitive? All I do basically is getting from viewpoint to viewpoint, save some citizens, perform some tasks and that's it, apart from the actual assassinations.

Even the fights are the same button-mashing sequences usually.

It looks great though (on my X360).

Yes. This game was very repetitive, you basically do the same tasks over and over again, just with different selected targets. But yet, somehow I found that Assassins Creed was fun!

...Still think it would have been better if they found a way to inc. some multiplayer into it

I did find it quiet repetitive after the first few assassinations, but from what I hear there going to fix that by mixing it up in the second one =D

Meh, it was kinda repetitive, not the greatest of games, but certainly unique and lots of fun!

I think it is a little tedious, but the repetition is fun in a way, though I play WoW hard core

Yes it was repetitive, but whenever I got tired of doing the missions I would just run around, climb the next house and kill guards and random people for a while and then I was ready to continue with the game. I also like the story a lot, those two things made sure I never got board, even on an second playthrough.
