Assassins Creed, why the hate?

Its extremely repetitive.

Hmm I see alot of people saying they are disappointed in the game. Why is that? Seems fun, I like how the difficult scales with each city, I like pwning the soldiers and stealth killing roof guards and doing the assasinations as well. What was so bad about the game that so many of you disliked it?jangojay

Repetitive and the combat is kinda meh

weak combat, dissapointing AI, and again...repetitive gameplay

Extremely repetitive, AI issues, and bad combat ruined it for me. Great concept and setting though.Saturos3091

darn u beat me to it.

Haven't played it yet (waiting for a budget price) but it seems a lot of people are disappointed in the fact that all of the missions turn out the same... ie... sit on a bench... use the "birds eye"... and assasinate a target... rinse and repeat.. I don't know maybe people were expecting too much... Or they just were drowning in the sea of great titles released at that time.

I don't think that a competent AI should be out of my expectations.

Okay, there are 9 main assassination missions. To do them you need to do sub-missions which involve studying your target. These are:

Interrogation: Wait til they finish talking, then press one button to beat them up

Pickpocket: Wait til they finish talking, then press one button to pickpocket them

Eavesdropping: Sit down, then wait til they finish talking

Time challenge: Race around and pick up all flags in area within time limit.

The combat system also consists of pressing one button......repeatedly...... til everyone is dead....... then run

Well most games are reptitive.. shoot shoot shoot.. Combat isn't that bad and I thought the difference in scenery kept the game fresh :P and interesting.jangojay

Scenery was the only thing this game had going for it. The combat consisted of just standing there and blocking while waiting for someone to attack so I could immediately counter-attack for insta-death.

Repetetive.Pietrooper

says it all

I find most games repetetive, so AC didn't really bother me in that respect. I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit, albeit I'm a big fan of rogue/stealth titles, or ones that cater to that play style.-RPGamer-

Yea same with me!

When *people* are hyping the game to oblivion and back and it turns out to be good not over the top they call it trash. I really don't like when people do that. I wouldn't say ubi gave more hype that an average dev would give.

ummmm......I was gonna say Repetitive?joe_g_patton

Don't, if you did this thread would sound repetitive.

you no when i turned off the game, after the first main kill, i stab the guy in the neck,,, then he talks to me for half an hour aww. what a *** load of **** this game isiamshivy

I felt the same away about the story droning on. I made a crucial mistake in continuing through the game sadly.

yup....

yup....

Please, this is the worst "hyped" game I have played all gen. The first level was fun the wash and repeat for 8/10 hrs.

It really seems like we should use IGN for all tigs. They seem to be on top of things lately. Well at least I have been agreing with them.

A few things about the game that pissed me off.

1. Go investigate your target collect 3 out of 6 pieces of info to continue. *Spend a pointless amount of time climbing up buildings and for some reason being able to spot two guys having a conversation about something related to your target from a kilometer away, go listen to them (or mug them or pickpocket them), kill your guy* Good in theory but after the first three times it gets a bit old. By the 9th time you want to kill yourself. Thats the entire game in a nutshell.

2. PLEASE SUH I AINT GOT NOTHIN' IM SICK AND IM POOR AND IM HUNGRY

3. Most convoluted retarded ending I have ever witnessed. I find it funny how they use the stupid assassins sight, they obviously added it to the game just to use it in their stupid ending considering it has absolutely no use in game whatsoever.

4. This probably isnt even a good reason but I actually looked forward to the scenes in the present day (which were just there to recap and drag the story along to its abominable ending) just to escape from the monotany of an assassins life. Thats bad.

5. Later in the game after the guards supposedly know of your description, practically the only way to avoid suspicion is to walk around with your head bowed in the priest position known as blend...*The man with about 4 weapons strapped to his body wearing a high quality outfit made of white leather looks suspicious my fellow guard! ~ NONSENSE his head is bowed in respect to our lord, if anything he is out to slaughter some non believers! ~ Agreed! ~ WTF HE STARTED JOGGING ITS THE ASSASSIN!!! KILL HIM!@##!!!*

6. LOL TIME TO ESCAPE! LETS RUN THROUGH THE STREETS TO SAFETY AND JUMP INTO ONE OF THE HUNDREDS OF PILES OF STRAW FOR SAFETY! WHOOPS A RETARD JUST MEGA BLASTED YOU INTO A RIVER! TOO BAD ASSASSINS CANT SWIM!

7. BUH BUH WHY DIDNT YOU JUST ESCAPE TO THE SAFETY OF THE ROOFTOPS ALTIAR?! Oh well my good friend thats because after the first few levels the rooftops are littered with archers whose sole purpose in life is to kill anybody who goes above 10 feet off the ground. Not to mention that the ground guards have just about as acrobatic as you! Those years in the arabian circus really payed off.

8. LOL at the suggested time traveling girl with the missing finger that you cut off in the past.

Holy crap I'm sorry I just sorta went blind with rage after thinking about how I played through this game.

Edit: Hehe, I realize how childish this sounds but god this game makes me angry.

i thought it was boring as heck.

and repetitive.

Repetitive and way too simple. A child could beat that game.
