I want to rent a game during the March break and it really came down to these 2. I already played COD 4 and all those so yeah. Well. I was looking at assassins creed and gamespot gave it good but other sites said it was repitive and a 7 score. I looked at dmc 4 and got an 8 here, then on other sites did better. But i played DMC 3 and i thought it was the same thing over and the fourth looks exact same. But, I don't know which one to RENT. I need help from people that have played both games.

Never played any of the DMC games so I can't recommend it but I do have AC and I have to say that it started out as one of the coolest games I have ever played but them it really got repetitive. You are just doing the same things over and over again. Each assassination is different so thats an addictive element but getting to the actual act involves so much repetition that I actually gave up and haven't finished the game. I may get back to it some day but it isn't "calling me" if you know what I mean.

They're both highly repeatative. If I had to play one or the other after beating both, I'd play Assassin's Creed. The fact that you have to backtrack so much in DMC4 drives me nuts. That's my two cents.

The story was fantastic but that doesn't save it from having some of the most boring repetitive gameplay. People in general don't like because of the story but because of the gameplay.

Like someone else said there's repetition in both. ACs is a lot more boring, so I sold it and am glad I did. DMC4 is more fun even though there's backtracking.

Both games are extremely repetitive. You redo the same levels with both characters in DMC4 so I don't see how that's any better.

To me, Assassin's Creed was so much better.

If you want action packed adrenaline, then get DMC4, but if you like exploring massive cities and climbing buildings, then get AC. I think both are great games.

I fail to see the point of these threads, all you're getting is someone else's biased opinion on these two games. Are you really going to shell out $60 on a game because someone online says it's better than the other one you where interested in? If I where you I'd get what I wanted instead leaving it up to an online community, if you want a button masher by all means get DMC4 if you want a repetitive action game feel free to purchase Assassin's Creed. I've played both and neither are exactly my cup of tea but I guess if you're really into those genres you could find some fun in them.

I have the CE of both... and let me tell you...

AC is great... but unless you like repetition... get DMC4.

Any answer to this would be purely subjective. Rent what you want.

Which is why you don't understand that AC2 is going to be awesome, do yourself a favor and see the ending, then look up the meaning of it on the xbox website cause you will not understand it, but when you do, im sure you will be......"calling" for it.

AC was more enjoyable and quite amazing for the first few hours.... BUT, after playing for a few hours, I lost almost all desire to complete it... it truly does get quite repetitive.

DMC4 on the other hand didn't blow me away at first like AC did, BUT once I got into it, it became extremely addictive. Overall, I enjoyed DMC4 for a much longer period of time. I would recommend it over AC.

both :D but i would say AC is a better RENTAL, DMC4 is a game you can rent and have a decent time with. but you really have to invest the time to get all the abilities and upgrades for the characters then it becomes much better. so rent AC, buy DMC4 when its cheaper.

For my money, Assasins Creed was a fantastic buy. It had something which truly gripped my attention, and that was the ability to fight multiple enemies with a far more fluidic nature,... which so many games up until this have desperartely failed to captiure and execute.

Yes, this is just one element, but along with the incredible graphics, it gave the game a momentum which I beleive was instrumental in its success. Its by no means perfect, ( I was occasionally disturbed there was some pop up, and the frame rate juddered ever so slightly in certain areas), but, in my opinion, to purely criticise this game for being repetitive is missing the whole point of the structure that the developers strived to achieve.

The point of spy, hide and assasination is that it is in essence a repetitive task. You could lay the same criticisms on any of the MGS, COD or, indeed, DMC titles. Yes, the narrative structure and the variety and design of gameplay elements can be altered to be more varied, thats true,..... but how many ways do you want to assasinate a templar???! And surely if you are laying blame that this is just all there is to the game,.... well,... what else do you want to do,.. bake cookies for them???8)

Assasins Creed achieved what it set out to do admirably, in my opinion.
