What was your opinion on this game? Did it live up to the hype or was it a super let down for everyone?

It has flaws, but I think it was a great game.

One thing I noticed on hyped games, is that people expect a lot from them, and they get dissapointed, I expect pac-man and I get Assassin's Creed, then I'm happy.

Another very hyped game, that I'm SURE it will be a let down will be HAZE. Just because a lot o people are expecting a lot from it.

Well my expectations were low in the beginning I was never really hyped on this game. I ended up buying it because every reveiw was steller but I was let down in the end. It got so boring after a while.

It was a very polarizing game. I'd say definitely rent it at least. If you like it you could prolly find it used afterwards. It had cool free walking type system but it got super repetitive. Definitely rent it though and decide then if you could imagine yourself playing it more than once.

It is a great game. If there were was something I'd like to see improved in next chapter of the story, (assuming there will be one), the mission gathering should be approached on different angle.

Instead of each assassination taking the same routes of clues, they should experiment with additional ways to gather the info. That way the game won't feel repetitious. Other than that, it's a great adventure.

IMO, it was a total letdown. I mean by the third level you were forced to do the same thing over again! VERY REPETITIVE!

Meh... I thought it was a fun game. It was definately over-hyped, but it was still a fun game. It was also very repetitive which I think was the MAIN issue with the game.

I don't regret buying it, but it wasn't a 9 out of 10 game.

Sword fighting? Come one, it is just nothing but block counter kill, block counter kill and nothing else. Boring and repetitious.

Assassin's creed was above average. It's a nice game, but it has some letdowns:

The game is repetive after a while (half through the game)
You got less than you expected (I thought this game would be OMFG :O... And it was only :O.)

Conclusion: It's more amazing than a let down. At least it entertained me enough for me to complete it.

What hype? I was never hyped for it (or any other games since Hype usually kills a game)
Personally I just heard what the developers promised for the game and they delivered.
The reason for Hype killing a game is because mindless drones overhype a game and basically promised themselves a ton of features that has never been announced for a game.
But on the bright side. When they get disappointed and cry about it, people like me can have a great laugh at their ignorance

But I really liked AC and I am really looking forward to the next one (and the 3rd one also)


Edit: Oh btw, stop with the pathetic "it's repetetive" nonsense. Every game I have played since I first started gaming has been repetetive. Anyone with a brain should be able to see that.. "No waaay, fps games are not" .. you hold the trigger and shoot the same 6 different skinned badguys for 7 hours straight.. Riiiight, not repetetive at all. Jesus H.

I couldn't agree more.... People get dissapointed because they are overhyped...

The next letdown will be HOME, I'm not expecting a lot from it, so I will love it.

Now when they release HOME, people will come to the forums and whine about missing this and that, and that Home sucks.

If you bring the drinks I will bring the food, and we can sit and laugh at them together? :P
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks.

First memory block = wow this is pretty cool. 2nd memory block = this is starting to feel a bit familiar. 3rd memory block = WTF, it's the same thing over and over again. Return game, get something good.

I agree it is repetitious. Just like the use of paragraphs.

i think its safe to say by the looks of it, its solid gameplay, great graphics, awesome story. But badly implement, not very innovative, reptitive and dull.

It was a major let down and totally awesome at the same time. I was cursing at the TV during the stupid investigation missions and assassination missions. But the assassinations were fun in the end. Get it when the price goes down.

i am lucky when it comes to AC. I didnt get into all the hype because I really didnt care all that much about it when it was a newly talked about title. I picked it up on a whim because I saw some vids and thought it looked cool. My opinion is the same as others have stated. It was a let down in some aspects and amazing in others. I think the environments and mobility of Altair are almost unmatched by any game to date, yet the gameplay is quite repetative. I pop it in now and then to show some friends what an amazing piece of work the environments are cuz it looks really good on my 50 inch tv.

Thats why it was fun :roll: being outnumbered and having to attack and counter everyone with different animations successfully was awesome to behold!

The graphics are beautiful but the story is old and the the gameplay is really repetative, all the missions are the same. Its fun for the first couple hours though.

I really like Assassin's Creed, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't get repetitive after 5 hours in.

QFT on both counts. Hot tip... if you don't hear people talking about it anymore, it was all hype. People are still talking about COD4, Uncharted and even Oblivion... not talking about Assassin's Creed, Heavenly Sword or Lair. Get me?

I don't care how hyped it was or wasn't. I thought it was a great game none the less. It was lots of fun and I didn't really think it was repetitive like most people complain about. Only thing I disliked was the ending but wait... it wasn't really an ending now was it? ;)

I got it for 40 and it was awesome but the story was so boring beacuse no one ever shut up. I was not really interested in finishing it. I did but for a game that lives off its signle player it seemed like it never ended. This was unlike Uncharted which I got at the same time and that game made me want to finsih the game.

AC is nothing more then Spider Man 3
same stupid missions over and over again
buggy
wall crawling/web swinging is better then pakour
dumb ai
easy to kill everyone in sight

the only thing AC has going for it is graphics and Art direction

i agree, while this game had so so so much potential, it was not developed accordingly. shallow gameplay techniques and repetition left and right only bring this game down further.

The point here is that AC IS AWESOME

Way better than COD4.

LOL
