please, honest opinion of assasins creed...

Honestly, I really feel that I bought into the hype of assasins creed. Ubisoft did its job and managed to sell me their game which is average at best.

Dont get me wrong, my jaw was on the floor when i first played it. Truley breathtaking graphics. A week passed by though and I realised that I'm just repeating the same thing over and over again.

Now repetition isnt that bad really and some game disguise it really well. Assasins creed's repetitivness showed and it got boring very quickly for me. I havn't touched assasins creed in like a month. I thought about just doing my own thing and not worrying about objectives. Maybe thats how its meant to be played. that got boring for me as well. Wondering around aimlessly is not something anyone should have to do in a game. I can do that in real life and I often do in London. I just wonder around with friends, its good to get out and about and its alot more exciting than doing that in a game.

So im a victim of hype. I dont plan on finishing assasins creed anytime soon. Its just too boring for me. Among one of the most boring games I have ever played.

What is your honest opinion of this game. If you believe its good then take a breather and see if this is not you justifying your purchase. You are not alone, I payed £50 for this game and I believe it was a waste.

P.S I normally love a good story but I really couldnt care about the story in this game.

So take it back to the store... I love the game... did that make a difference?Squeets

unfortunatly my friend, GAME doesnt take back games anymore. If you open the seal, you will not be able to return it. They claim that they are not a rental service. Well, I'm definetly not buying my games from them anymore.

I think it's stupid. You're in a computer relating your "ancestors memories" or something. That's the corniest storyline ever. Not to mention it's more repetitive than runescape.mohfrontline

but its that the reptitivness shows so obviously. You eavesdrop, you pickpocket, you hide yourself among the white hooded religious group, you assasinate.

Repeat that over and over and its just dull

lol just wondering man whats with you and runescape i saw you in another topic saying the same thing

I also wished for more variety, but still I love the game. I hated the storyline crap and I wish they would've stuck to one period. However basically every game is repetative, and at least this was so well made I didn't mind the repetativeness at all, I simply don't get sick of this.Keitarourashima

as i stated, reptitivness isnt that bad because some games disguise it really well. But this shows. This shows like 32x shows that it blows.

Give an example pls how a well disguised repetative game looks like? Shoot that alien... go two steps to the left and shoot THAT alien, wow! a ship! and it's spewing out aliens! what to do what to do... I think I'll shoot em'.

How is it corny?

And if you actually listen during your tasks... it isn't repetitive... it is repetitive to the people that are impatient and just want to kill the guy and get their achievement...

I went into it with an open mind as it is not my normal type fo game and it seemed different than most other games. Almost its own genre.

The graphics were amazingly detailed and I liked how the world felt alive and carried a great atmosphere. I really felt like I was moving in and out of the hustle bad bustle of life.

The story was incredibly cheesy. I understand the devs attempt to somehow tie the here and now with the past but the whole ancestral memory business was pretty lame. I would have been comfortable with just starting as Altair in the world. I didn't expect anything else.

I thought gameplay was repetitive and too easy. Just a bunch of button mashing that doesn't even have to be that coordinated. Combat was the same. I thought something was up when I took on three guys at once and dispatched them without much strategy or thinking. Just mash this button and then that one. If people start chasing you just find a place, hide, wait until you are hidden again and then go about your business. Rinse and repeat. Much the same could be said with the missions. Pretty much the same thing to a different person in a different town.

The game was alright, don't get me wrong. But I did not think it was what it was cracked up to be prior to launch. I felt like the devs started with a great idea but go lazy with the gameplay and didn't add much new content as the game progressed.

Its repitive, big deal ,the game is great, its going be a awesome trilogy, of course, you need to understand the ending to fully realize how STEEP the story really is lol

I've finished Assassins Creed. I was bored when I was playing it but for some reason I kept playing it and kept coming back to it.

I hate the first hour but that's because I've played it about four times. I had it on PS3 at first (the graphics are even better on PS3) but I had to restart a few times due to PS3 hardware failure then swapping it for the 360 version.

Assassins Creed is full of potential. The first one didn't live up to the expectations of most people but who knows what the sequel will hold.

I, like you, enjoyed it only for a little while. It has great graphics, and some really fun ways of playing and fighting. Short of those things though, the game does not fulfill its promise. Thats all you really get to do, run, jump, and kill occasionally. Although it plays out very well, it does get repetitive quite quickly. I killed 3 people and put the game down. Collecting flags, Boring with no consequence to the story or gameplay. Saving citizens, repetitive and not worth it. The fighting system was lots of fun if you could get a bunch of guards, but once you master the counter system you basically become invincible.

A Good effort, but not worth $60.

I personally Liked it a lot.

I mean, its the same thing 9 times, but I fond it enjoyable through out.

I'm the same way, I played it, loved it and just as quickly found it was nothing more then a great game riddled with repetition and crappy AI.

You want an honest opinion? Go here: Zero Punctuation reviews Assassin's Creed He's spot on with the review.msjr78

True, he is one of the few reviewers i agree w/ on almost everything.

the game is repetitive and shallowGizmoSimo

my hones opinion of AC is that it is a great game but, it's a little repetitive-any game can be argued a repetitive it just comes down to what you like to do more, so let me explain.

in AC you have to clib up vantage points to unlock the rest of the city, after a few times i was like ok? this is getting old fast. collecting intel seems a little dull after a few times. besides those things i listed every thing else is fine. sword fights, climbing objects, and finally the assassinations; i loved this part but most of the time it seems your spotted before you even actually start to go in for the kill. i still rated this game a 10, but i would only play through it again if i was really board

Hmm...I never found myself "wandering aimlessly" in this game at all. Objectives, although repetitive, were given with clarity and locating them came with ease. In my opinion, this game is well worth the sixty bucks I paid for it.:PMsCortana

I agree. I did put it down for awhile when I got The Orange Box and thought I might not get back into it with some of the repetitive investigations. So one day I just put AC back in the 360 and started playing again and found as the game goes on the story gets better as do the enemies which made it fun again. It is still in my 360 now.

I definitely understand where the TC is coming from though.
