AC a disappointment?

OK, I got AC yesterday, and I've probably played around 6-7 hours as of now. The game has some really great ideas and elements, but it's unfortunate that the game is a bit repeptitive and confusing (in terms of the storyline). The cutscenes are boring, and unneccisarily long as well. And, the game moves sllowwwllyyy. It's super slow at the beginning, so I was hoping that it would speed up a bit as the game progressed, but no--it's still moving at that utterly slow pace. The game has potential, but it just didn't exactly use it in the right way. Does anyone agree with me?biggamerhk

I can understand the cmplaint about it being repetitive, because you're doing a *job* and jobs do get that way.

The cutscenes are amazing, and the storyline I find very intriguing and impressive, not sure why anyone wouldn't.

I really like it, but I dont really see how it got a 9.0.

If Ratchet got docked for "borrowing from too many games" so should AC.

Stealth - MGS/Splinter Cell

The horse Riding- SoTC.

Combat/Acrobatics - Prince of Persia

Combat/Exploration - Zelda

Open Ended World Exploration - Crackdown

(Yes, I just totally stole this from the 1up show :P)

I've played the game for maybe a couple hours, and think it's pretty good. I admit it is slightly repetative at times, but I still haven't gotten over the initial wow-factor of approaching someone from behind and taking them out low-profile style.

We'll see what happens as I get a little further into the game. Hopefully it will earn the 9.0 I so dearly want to give it.

Great Game, it is extrememly story driven.

Hate the ending.

Great game

AAA quality all the way.

I think Ratchet and Clank got docked for too many elements with no clear definition nor reason for each, in such a short amount of time. It's what I got from the review.

[QUOTE="Footballteen58"]Hi I'm not going to put in spoiler tabs in the part where I talk about the story, so I'm going to spoil the game for everyone who's playing or wants to play the game.Gunraidan

Wth are you talking about? I didnt spoil the game in anyway. UBISOFT SAID there was going to be a sci fi twist so people know about it I didn't say at all what it was.

And for the record its not much of a spoiler as you find out in the first 5 minutes you start the game.

One of the best this year, fact! Live it and love it, haters. :DBioShockOwnz

My best analogy for the game is one i used when the game first came out. I believe the feeling i get from playing AC is that an Assassin has snuck into my house and killed any possible fun that could be enjoyed from a game like this. And on his way out he is whistling a little tune as he cheerfully leaves money in hand for a job well done.

Your job excuse is one of the lamest I have ever seen leveled at a video game. Games are made to be fun and that was definitely their goal with Assassin's Creed. Unfortunate for them, they failed.

i agree that the game is quite repetitive

it doesn't like up to its potential, but there's still a lot to like about the game

i hope we get a sequel some day, because they can make an amazing game with the ideas they have, if they're just implemented a bit better

it was still worth the purchase for me though
