How did Assassins Creed get a 9?

This game is awful repetative boring and frustrating wtf is up with the beggers they just bother you everytime you do something. Combat is fun but gets old. I mean how com my only stealth move is to pray and sleep in hay to avoid guards. Why is it so hard to do an informer kill when they walk the same rout rite by the guards and beggers exposing were you are how come i can't give them money to leave me alone.

Gamespot's review is awful it does not mention any of the many flaws in this game.

How did this game score better then ratchet and clank, Uncharted, and Mass Effect.

Ign's review was dead on about this game.

So you walk around on the street in crusades time and you don't want to see beggers?
Its not a stealth game( nobel prize nomination already?)
Other than looking at core gameplay you are nit-picking things you find frustrating because you (no offense) probibly suck at the game.
How about graphics, the vast amount of gameplay elements ? Do these things mean nothing to you?

I think assassins creed is awsome.

And lmfao at your complaints. You havent even touched on the real problem. Beggers? Informer kills? Give me a break kid :lol:

well didnt you see all the banner ads arund the site around review time???niall077

Fogic Lailed.

The game is actually easy as hell i mean once you learn how to counter its almost impossibel to die the game controll really well and thats about it. Why don't the beggers bother someone else I mean if you kill them the guard come after youthe story is lame to the ending is awful.kdupe88

I love Assassin's Creed, but it is not a 9, I would of gave it a 8 (maybe 8.5). The Gameplay can be alittle bit boring (doing the smae thing over and over), but overall it is a fun game. I like using the Hidden Blade to randomly kill a guard, and try to rack up the biggest body count I can.

when you save a citizen, sometimes (well a lot of the time), you would press the left trigger or L1 to talk to them, after their done it they would look at the dead bodies and say "what happened here" or "such a tragedy" or something. It really annoyed me in game but i still enjoyed the game a lot.

You can just tell Ubisoft milked itand left alot of things out I mean you have these huge cities and absolutley nothing to do in them except look for flags. They could have added shops to upgrade weapons or buy new weapons,or added side quests to do in the cities. They stretched the game out to save things for sequels it a shame because AC had alot of potenial.kdupe88

WTF? this isnt ratchet and clank, its set in the crusades for crying outload. What, you wanted to add scopes to your throwing knifes?

to be quite honest, i dont even know what that is supposed to mean, how do you upgrade a sword? and if you mean buy a new sword, whats the poitn of buying a new shiny sword, which typically means in most games added damage, when this game doesnt even have a hit point system. :|

a big wtf to this post.

It depends on how you play the game, halo 3 had the same gameplay throughout and nobody said *yawwwwn*!!! All you ever did was go through a linear map to shut off a shield or wipeout a boss. I'd say there is 28 hours of good fun to be had with AC of which doesn't get rediculously repetitive . Then youcould go do the acheivement glitch which saves a load of time :)

look if you really want me to, i would record it on my crappy digicam. It happens, why would i lie, if anything i think this game in my opinion deserves a 9. Mainly because all the good points overshadow the bad points (im used to repetition anyway, i enjoyed spiderman 2)

If its a scholar you saved, they say "thank you, i only wish my sons were half as brave as you" or some such jargon.

If its one of the vigilantes, they say "oh thank goodness, another moment and they owuld have made off with me, i'll be sure the whole city knows your kindness"

When you hear "what happened here? who is responsible for this" you're overhearing the comments of passersby as they walk onto a scene of 4-6 dead soldiers body. They reason why you hear it is because its just like having a conversation in real life where you overhear the words of others around you.

Its a very simple concept i dont know why you are getting so confused.

Yeah you're right. I remember one time I saved a lady from the guards and after she thanked me there was one still alive on the ground so I finished him, then all of a sudden she goes screaming for the guards. The AI is not perfect.

Whats the achievement glitch?

Anyway, I've just started Assassin's Creed, but I like it a lot. I already have heard non-stop about its repetitiveness, but that honsetly doesn't bother me. The free running is enjoyable enough, and the game does other things which I haven't seen before, either.

If you don't think the game is that great, just look at it this way, the sequels are going to be a lot better because now the developer knows what works, what to keep, and what to get rid of.

No you can, when a guard is near death they're out of the equation. They're going to die anyway and pose no threat.

yeah you can finish them off or just leave them to scream till death. either way it counts as a death and makes you anonymous.

i see.

Well, more on topic, the main "flaw" in assassins creed, which people list almost as if by rote, the 'repetitiveness' doesnt bother me at all because i just dont feel it.

yea you do the same thing, eavesdrop, pickpoket, interogate, but when you them, you're treated with a niftly little cutscene-esque segment with excellent voice acting which really pushes the story along. and because they're all so unique, the actual act of the investigation doesnt get boring to me.
