Ive heard lots of people posting topics about magazines and game sites talking trash somewhat about AC. They talk about how it could be repetitive, how there is no jump button (the character jumps off ledges automatically), and some other glitches and bugs. I really have high hopes for this game, and the hype for me is huge, but it worries me that EGM and some others would talk bad about this game, and I dont want to waste my money, as its in short supply right now for me. Does anyone else feel the least bit worried about AC?

Im gonna get Mass Effect for sure, but I live in a town where Walmart is the only place that sells new games, and they either get the game day 1, or get it after like 2-3 weeks, so I wanna get it day 1, but Im just worried about some of the EGM complaints and so forth. MAybe its just game industry snobbery on their part, nitpicking and such.

I am definitely concered w/ AC...It looks very cool but as stated above, I am concerned that it is going to be a very repetitive game with little replay value and poor AI. I hope I'm wrong, hopefully the lack of a demo is to keep the plot twists concealed until release and not because of those reasons mentioned in "people's complaints," we'll find out soon : ) Waiting on reviews until I purchase.

Well the game isnt out yet so they can fine tune it in a flash if necessary with glitches and bugs, and as for the no jump button, thats better IMO, because that way you can't press to jump early and that way you never miss your ledge unless you run at it funny.

I preordered it so I'll get it even if reviews aren't great. But I doubt they'll be really bad because the game seems just so big with a lot to do. I don't soley judge games on reviews anyway. They're good guidlines but its still an opinion and what I like is not always what they like.

well the new EGM( which i got today ) it said they got to play the almost finished product and that they fixed the glitches and the AI is really intelligent, there only complaint is that it could get repititive quickly, but there hoping the sci-fi twist will add variety to it.

I gotta say Im a bit worried myself.

I havent necessarilly hyped the game, but its looked really good.

I always loved Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and the development team behind it is making AC.

I think it will be GOOD no matter what, it is not going to get bad reviews, I can tell already. It may not be universally acclaimed though, if its repeatitive it will get knocked.

I will wait for reviews, as always, if they're good, I'll buy it, if they're middling, I'll rent.

I thought the game sounded awesome originally, but when I saw the most recent stage demo(can't remember which show), the fighting system looked horrible. It literally looked like the most basic fighting system possible. Either hit a button to swing, or time the dodge button to counter the enemies' attack. It reminds me of the Pirates game(I only tried the demo); I am looking for a deeper fighting system, something that would involve strategy and movement, not just button presses. Hopefully they updated the battle system since the demo, but I would seriously doubt it. I'll probably rent instead of buy....

I'm not overly concerned; I have enjoyed games that have gotten below average scores. I bought Tenchu and enjoyed it from start to finish and games don't get any more repetitive than that. So to hell what other people think.

Who cares what people say - as long as you like it, each to their own. Don't rely on reviews. They only give you a fair idea what to expect.

If you enjoy the game thats what matters.

Anyway i think this game will rock and how can assassinating people be repetitive? Im sure there are a variety of ways to take down your enemies like in Hitman. I hope you get that option like in Hitman.

Looks like the criticism was well founded. I bought the game about 3 weeks ago and overall I think it sucks. The battle system is probably the worst part of the game, followed by the repetition of the missions. This is NO oblivion....
