Is it just me or is Assassin's Creed....

Really repetitive and gets boring fast. I've gone through 3 assassinations and its the same thing everytime....Start at the headquarters, go to a city, do view points, help citizens (which doesn't do anything really), pickpocket someone, eaves drop someone, maybe interrogate someone, then go to the bureau and get the feather then kill the person. Seems like a alot to do and wouldnt get boring but you find out that you are doing the same thing you did the last assissination. Can anyone tell me if it changes/mixes up in the later assassinations or should i just trade it in now for Drake Fortune.

I understand why reviewers gave it a 9/10, because the graphics are nice and the environment is basically completely interactive and is a step forward for all games like this.

But the repetitivenessgets to you.

The repetitive label has scared me away as well.

Was trying to choose between this and COD4.

Probably opting for COD4 tomorrow unless lightning strikes with something different.

I too accept the repetitve argument, but honestly, the only gripe I had was the damn freezing issue; and since that has been fixed, I am having a blast just screwing around and trying different approaches to killing guards and Templars.

I would at least give it a rent, or find a friend that has it for either console and give it a small test drive.

Go to Best Buy and pick up COD4 for $44.99! It's the steal of a century.

Well, it is a bit repetitive, but not that much really.

Saving citizens in an option, no one is forcing you to do it and each time you eavesdrop or pickpocket there is a interesting and well done conversation. Try actually listening to the story and the purpose of your victims assassination. There is a great role of excellent story behind everything you do.

God forbid if games are bit more then point a gun and click..

I personally loved climbing towers, or walking in the living cities while gathering information about the next victim.

The game is not meant to fly through as most inpatient gamers do. It's a great game. Try taking some breaks between missions.

Again, I agree that it's a little repetitive, but that's no where the reason to pass this great game as it offers a lot and being great while doing so.

No bro...it's not just you.Hopefully they will correct this issue in the next installment.

Yes this game is Repetive

But aside from that its f***ing awesome

at least they tried something new and attempted to create a game that can be labelled as next gen. if there was more variety and a better story that would have made the game perfect.

they should make a game where ur family was slaughtered when u were a childby a ruthless king and its up to u on how u go about ur redemption. pick off people one by one or just go head on. spend as much time on hand to hand combat as u do stealth.

If you've played through three missions you've played through the whole game. Go trade it in if you can get a good deal.

Whoever says this is a good game is obviously a graphics whore. This game is a sum of many bits of other games. Unfortunately it doesn't do any of those things as well as the previous games did. The city environments were much more diverse and interesting in GTA. The combat system was much more fun and strategic in Prince of Persia. The only thing this game might have done better than other games is the free running, but that's just holding down two buttons and pressing up on the left thumbstick. looks pretty =/= fun

Its worth a rental. This game has probably the best story of any video game this year. I agree it gets repetive and they screw the end of the game up a little. Everyone should play and finish this game. The game makes you think about how religon isman made.

Man made god, not god made man.

I lost all interest after the hour and a half beginning of the game that was not interesting at all because it was all just sitting and listening to everyone you talk to lecture about nothing...

Most people think I'm crazy when I say this but I think Assassins Creed is one of the worst games I have ever played when you look at the hype it had coming out and the actual final product was so bad...

You are kidding me right? Did you finish the game? I doubt it. There is alot of depth to the story, if you can't see that you are blind my friend. And next time you critisize me learn how to type.

Do you mean it's deep in that every time you talk to the Professor you are lectured for a half an hour and nothing of stubstance comes from it? I don't mean to flame you, I just honestly can't see how someone can say this game had the best story for a game this year... Especially when a game like Bioshock has come out in the same year.

Agree with everything but the story does not make since. How come people don't like the story? It makes alot of since. I cant go into details explaining it because of spoilers, but I thought it was brilliant.

Not sure what this has to do with anything butQFT

If doing missions is boring, do something else, theres a TON of other things to do besides the assassinations.KamuiFei

I'm not trying to be an @ss here or anything but what? You do the assissinations, or you do the "prep" for the kill, info collection, saving citizens, getting the view points, what's left? Flag colecting and killing templars?

Everytime I hear Assassin's Creed, repetitive is in the same sentence. I still don't see how this game is repetitive. I mean this game IS considered an open world style of game. If doing missions is boring, do something else, theres a TON of other things to do besides the assassinations. And for those who don't understand the story or think it sucks, you just don't know what kind of history was involved. Do a search on the Freemasons, Templar Knights or the Holy Crusades, read up on it, and the story will make sense. In my opinion, AC has an excellent story and makes perfect sense.KamuiFei

I swear its not THAT repeptetive.. I can see why some people would say so, but then, its just SO MUCH FUN!!

Its not just you. I can't even finish this game because of how boring it actually is. The cities all look the same, the saved citizens say the same thing, the story reminds me of some educational video I was forced to watch in school, and the A.I. and fighting system is seriously flawed. Do not buy this game and if you get it for a gift don't open it, just return it for COD4 or Uncharted. This game is a shame, it truly is.

QFT, what kind of open-world game ends once you kill the last guy? In GTA you could still explore and do whatever you wanted long after you finished the story. It would add some replay value if you could actually do that in AC, however, YOU CAN'T! People that defend this game are just in denial because they were so hyped about it and they spent their hard earned cash on it. I bought it too but I will be the first to say that it isn't what it claims to be. Rent it first, I beg of you.

I loved this game! To get the most of it, don't just do the bare minimun to get to the assassination memory. Doing that just cheats yourself out of gameplay. I played through it with the mindset that I was going to finish every dang event before the assassination, and I had a blast. Near endgame with all your gear you are an unstoppable bad*ss taking on like 10 guards at the same time. You just have to get in character for the game, some people just can't seem to though. Its their loss really.mbrockway

the game is fun...3 misions in isn't anything. the further u go u get more weapons and fighting techniques, just more fun. yes u are doing the same thing over and over but it's not like you can't enjoy what you're doing....besides the sitting on the bench spying BS.

I LOVE THIS GAME, PERIOD!

That having been said, yes, it is quite repetitive, and no, the tsks really don't change up that much. This is a game that you enjoy if you like running around looking at and experiencing the game environment for the sake of looking rather than having some extra tasks or goals to force you to look around. I love history though, so I like the game.

HAHA freaking hilarious:lol:

total shame coz it could and should have been the best game ever, it should have been set out the same way oblivion was,a whole continent withcities all over the place with 30 hours+ gameplay,the game was rushed in my eyesDawson82

I've yet to play AC, but I find it rather funny how loosely people use the term, "there's a 'TON' of things to do". If there's a game where this remark holds true, it's Oblivion.

I have stated why I don't agree with the "it's repetitive" thing numerous times. I think it's just you in my case because I love this game.Liquid-Prince
