-Eurogamer's Richard Leadbetter (Page 3 of the comparison)
"Assassin's Creed is a total enigma of a game for me. I simply cannot disagree with any of the points in Tom's review; it's a classic example of developers getting lost in their own cleverness to the detriment of the core gameplay. The basic notion that you've seen all but one of the sub-missions by the time you've completed the first assassination is a chilling fact about the sheer lack of variety Ubisoft Montreal has offered up in piece of software that is otherwise revolutionary.
more after the jump
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.
Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4
The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.
No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.
Nope
There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war
They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided
They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back
I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.
Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.
Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience
Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.
I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Let me save you PS3 fangirls some time so that you don't have to defend your $600 DVD player!!
Lazy Devs!
Obviously Ubi doesn't know how to program the PS3 that's why GRAW and Rainbow Six Vegas was delayed!
Lazy Devs!
The PS3 is only a year old.. The 360 is two years old so...
Lazy Devs...
Wait till 2008!
Lazy Devs!Lazy Devs!
Lazy Devs!Lazy Devs!
DMC4 or Assassin's Creed?......
Oh and Jiggyjay....another easy ignore.
Can people just start taking "reviews" as opinions?
comparisions are shiiite
lets look at the real situation
360's best looking title is gears of war(kudos to epic for that) which came a year back ,no 360 game has yet to reach that quality and no forthcoming 360 games looks like it'll surpass it(maybe gears 2 or alan wake if they make it next year)
Ps3 on the other hand is getting titles that are visually surpassing the last one uncharted>ratchet>heaven ly sword and this is just the start, with killzone 2, MGS4, Resistance 2, God of war 3 to follow.
good time to be a PS3 owner i guess.
and before xbots come and start disagreeing with me go and chk my profile for my 360 gamercard.
I have the game and it works!
