Assasin's Creed is crap!

sorry for the title i just want people to see my thread.

I have played all three PoP games and have loved them. The story was an epic one. I haven't played AC yet but i'm wondering to those who have played both PoP and AC which is better in your opinion and please elaborate why. I have a friend who have played AC on 360 and he said to me he was disappointed with the game like the AI,etc.

rent it, i was really disapointed in the story and all the tech issues. the ending is just so awful that you will be really POed is you buy it

they had too many "grand" ideas and ended up with an incomplete game

I like AC though, it's like playing GTA. You'll be doing the same stuffs that you're doing inthe first hour of the game over and over pretty much for the rest of the game, but hey it's a lot of fun and not linear.Your rightindex finger gets really tired if you play for like 10 hrs striaght like I did (launch 360 what!). You'd know what I mean when you play it that long. tonyleo01

Have you played Diablo 2? You know how painful my right index finger felt playing that game for long hours. Is it like that?

AC gets boring quick! Your doing the samething the entire game. Some people compare it to GTA but atleast GTA have alot of side missions and quests that keeps you interested

When I start up AC, I ask myself "Do I really want to play this game" because it's stale, slow and dull. I knew I should of bought R&C instead of this

I'm still missing about half the flags in most cities and about 20 templars. But I finished everything else. I really like the ending too. You people that disn't like it... after the credits rolled did you go around and look at all the writings, and did you go back and read the new emails and such on all the different computers? It really filled in a lot of back story and has me psyched for a sequel.

Ummm.... I've just started playing Assassins Creed and I have some input.

First of all, the game is stunning to look at, even with the pop-in and minor screen tearing. Animations are top-notch, the free climbing, go (almost) anywhere is pretty cool.

My problem comes with the combat. I've only got like 5-6 health bars, but when I engage a Templar I just get my A** handed to me... is this supposed to be the case, or do I just suck at the game right now? I can't seem to land a hit and all of my attacks get blocked..... I was only successful fighting them, by running in circles while on a horse slashing them, or by running full speed at them and hack & slash them to death b4 they could get their weapon unsheathed.

But, when forced to stand toe to toe with a Templar it always ends the same way, with me on my back, and a quick reload.

And GS still gave it 9.0.

Now just think of all those awesome games you've played, which GS scored 8.5 and under.

Templars are tough early on. The difference between a guard at the beginning of the game and a Templar is incredible. By the end, however, there's not as much difference. Some of the average guards are almost as tough as the templars, and you may be fighting many of them at once. The thing about the templars and some of the higher tier enemies is, they block well, and will use counters and counter grabs same as you. They have block breaker moves, same as you, that can't be countered. And sometimes, they are just jerks and will use them over and over. The fights at the end of the game; I may play through it once, and go through all of it and counter everything perfectly and not take a hit, and then play it again and have to reload 5 times. You may be master at counters, but when sorrounded by templars and their ilk, you can die really fast.

OKay, so the problem most likely isnt me then....good to know.... I'll keep at it... I'm sure once I progress and get a little more practice with the fighting system, I won't have as much trouble.... thx for the response.

Yeah, you get better, and you get more abilities as you gain ranks by completing missions. early on, all ya got is attacks, later you have counters, grab-breaks, dodges, block-breaking, and extra damage. If worse comes to worse, run, then turn, lock on, and throw daggers (once you get them). Also, if you can approach one without him seeing you, you can assassinate with the hidden blade. I've only gotten it to work on 2 out of about 40 templars though. They are very observant.

And GS still gave it 9.0.

Now just think of all those awesome games you've played, which GS scored 8.5 and under.

You'd have to have the attention span of a gnat to enjoy AC.

I bought it, I don't regret it, perhaps I enjoy it later, but having AC and Mass Effect released so close to eachother is ridiculous, because:

Mass Effect>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>assassin's creed.

I am still not sure - I think its a good experience and its def not a bad game, but there are some valid points. The cities were described as real, living, working cities etc...but I don't quite get this feel. There just seems to be alot of people walking about with jars on their heads.

I am not all that far into it yet though - so i'll give it more of a chance.

I wanted it to play a bit more like hitman, but old school, and with ninja skills
