lack of freedom, bad AI, repetive missions, and pointless flag quest... even though im hoping for a better sequel AC was probably the most overrated game i played last year
Yes if one thing has to be said in Creed's favor its the art. The game looks so distinctive from other titles and really no developer has emulated that art direction.
However, the game was amazingly repetitious, lack of variety, and the AI was easily manipulative. Sticking through the whole game was worth it though: The final or so hour of narrative was fantastic and makes me want the second one immediately.
But yeah, within the replies in this thread you'll see repetition cited as the reason for hate.
I just picked up this game yesterday (30 euro's brand new FTW), I just got into the first real city and Im already feeling the reptitivness of the game. Bad AI, I walked up to a guy, threw him off a cliff and was still able to perform an "assasination" move on the guy standing next to the first one, because it took so long for the second guy to react.
Im still probably going to enjoy the heck out of this game, but Im not expecting anything big out of it. I knew about the flaws before I bought it, thats why I waited so long before picking it up. I wish I had done the same thing with Bioshock.
Because it's so boring and repetitive. I bought it when it first came out and tried playing it again recently and both times I can't get past anymore than about two hours in. IThe games presentation is awesome but it's so repetitive.
The game is extremely repetitive and the missions uncreative and extremely similar. The graphics are very nice but the graphics doesn't matter when the gameplay is broken.
I'm getting so close to beating this game. I have to play it for 1 or 2 assassinations before I get too bored, then I come back to it weeks or months later and do a few more. I think I'm actually on the last one but I'll get around to it sometime.

I loved it! Sure there is some unnecessary repetition, but I did not let that get in the way of my enjoyment. And the game is even better with much of the HUD disabled.
[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]Assassin's Creed is very repetitive and it's quite repetitive. Also, the game is very repetitive, so I'd say it's rather repetitive.EuroMafia
Repetitive and slow is a bad combo.
And I thought the controls were awkward too. On the 360 version anyway, I just found them so damn clunky.

Controls were alright, but there weren't enough consequences (if any) when free running and climbing buildings.
I agree it gets too much hate, but it's nowhere near amazing. But not terrible either.
It's just the repetition killed the game. The swordfighting and AI had some issues as well. But it's one of the very few games that delivered on the "next-gen" experience.
