1.4 - You even a gamer or just a troll?

man doubt you even played the game Im over 3 days in and its freaking fantastic. No freezes since we got the fix the amazing graphics and story are taking me place Ive never been in a game before.
Its a fantastic game that lets you explore a world torn from our own history. Do you know what its like to walk the streets of Jerusalem in the 12th century? To deftly navigate its streets and roofs to find your mark and doing it all your way? Countless hours of exploration tons of hidden treasures and rewards not to mention breath taking scope. I cant wait to hop on the best rendered horse in the history of gaming and ride off to Acre to hunt my next kill.

ps if this game doest get GOTY the systems rigged.

It doesn't come out until next year on PC.And, its not that bad of a game.I like the hell out of it.It gets better when you start unlock all your stuff.The grab ledge and grab break alone have made the game more fun for me.

@gamesR4fun

Is that stupid question for me? If so here is my answer:
I am a gamer for a sh*t load of time... I'm 37 years old and been gaming since I was 12
I purchased AC for PS3 but I don't like it. Do I need to like it just because you do? lol

Anyway here is my AC experience: kicked off the game went through that annoying tutorial for Altair controls then got some 1191 AC action and was having fun when I got pulled back into the future time because the female scientist wanted me to rest... went back in, lost all my powers and then got my assignment for the first kill and another tutorial (fight tutorial). Anyway was still having fun so I completed the first kill and went back to get the 2nd kill assignment. I got 2 to choose from so I went to Jerusalem to start working on the second kill and got bored. Second kill was just like the first one... spy on 2 dudes, pick pocket another dude and kill the target dude... hmm, didn't I just did that?

Also I hated both the melee combat and the unskilled jumping around. Hold R1+X and Altair never misses a jump, nice. Hold R1 and hit square to counter attack and one shoot the dude, nice. Not going to say anything about the fact that you have to climb lots of freaking towers that all look the same to see stuff on your map. Really I have the game but I wish I didn't.

@1.2: Your statement reeks of troll sh1tt, previous reports stated the the 360 version accounted for 67 percent assuming its only console sales. That leaves 33 percent for the ps3, so that leaves a max estimated 330k min 200k.

@ krik is it your post??? obviously my answer is for the guy Im replying to.... but since your so chipper here we go.

you know you dont need to do all the interrogation's or citizen missions right? Once you find the mark you can pretty much slay at will...
Not only that but did you notice the difference between the cities and even among the guards in any one city? Has for the lookouts flags and other stuff its all optional m8 and personally Im having a blast doing all the side missions nothing beats finding all the lookout points or saving all the citizens imo. The fighting can be pretty tense too if your not positioned right and have 4 or five guards swinging at you good chance they'll land a hit or two maybe even kill ya even if you try and counter. Not to mention if its still to easy for you you can choose not to use counter at all....

Personally tho i think your full of it... tell you what tell us what the second mark does for kicks if you have indeed played the game.

Unbelievable... A half assed game like Assassins Creed. Word of mouth didn't catch on fast enough, I suppose. I won't be venturing into Assassins Creed 2 terroity, that's for sure. I learned my lesson this time aorund. Ubi-soft, you make the worst damn games EVER! Sneak King is more quality than this puddle of pig PI$$. Atleast it boots up, plays and runs without freezing.

I haven't played this yet, but I highly doubt it's the worse game to ever sell a million. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the 50 Cent game sold over a million.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have Assassins Creed.

3.4 - I agree with Chester...

If Assasin's Creed came out before reviews, everyone would say it's a good game. It's not GOTY, but everyone who's totally shooting it down and letting reviews pursway them has no credibility. The game is good, period. It's not Bioshock or any of the super AAA games we've previously had, but people are acting it's just the absolute worst game ever.

Bubbles for all of you.
JC, I'm already broke. I spent all the money I had saved for PS3 on current games and yet had to leave many other games that I wanted.
All I can say is... game on :)

Marceles, while I still believe that AC is a AAA game, I agree with you that if the game was out before reviews, people would have been different. Also, great point about people talking about AC as the worst game ever :)

UPDATE: Agreed with Daxx. Bubbles for you too :)
UPDATE 2: Thanks jcgamer :) and agreed on new IPs. Hope Mass Effect, Uncharted and Rock Band sell a lot (But deep inside, I pray AC sells the most. I'm an Assassins fanatic...)

I'd like to see a statistic based on who likes the game and who doesn't compared to which console they're running the game on.

I"m actually really happy it sold well. I loved it, but that if it was more refined and better AI that ubisoft could have a masterpiece. So maybe they can take their ideas and tweek it a little bit and make AC 2 the game AC 1 should have been.

I'm with you. It's more than great that a good new IP is selling well enough. Personally I think AC1 is a masterpiece even with AI problems and other bugs but that's just me. The experience is always worth more than technical view and AC was one of the best and most unique gaming experiences I've had in years.

Well, that's your opinion to have... Mine is of the "I don't care, like or even think about this game" nature. It was a huge waste of time, strung together by massively long, drawn out boring cut scenes and a bland character that you swap into. It's terrible. The whole aspect of the game reeked of Si-fi original picture. Maybe even worse.

Enjoy the game, I'm glad you and apparently millions of others are... Someone has to buy the $hit Ubi-soft dumps out of their outhouse.

6 - I bought Assassin's Creed

and I thought it was great. Games are always released with bugs, or collision detection issues.

I give Ubisoft props for at least delivering a new IP with a fresh idea. If this game sells well it will give them incentive to bring out other new IP's.

I haven't experienced any freezing issues with my copy. I'm not saying it isn't true, just hasn't happenend to me. Some people are too picky these days.

Agreed. It's crazy how PS3 fans call AC a bad 360 game and 360 fans call it a bad PS3 title.

I'm sure most of haters didn't even try the game and just hate it because IGN and few others said so. Also, many others tried the game prepared and expecting to be disappointed. Approaching any game that way results in disappointment, no matter how good it is. BioShock, Orange Box, Uncharted, Halo 3 and others could end up disappointing if one only is trying to be disappointed.
Stop hating and start playing...

P.S. Bubbles for you :)

11 - Despite its problems on the PS3...

I'm still buying it in the next few days. Bestbuy is selling it for $40 if you buy COD4 for the full price. Bestbuy is out of stock since last week when the promo began. There were quite a lot of people at the store going to purchase this and we were all let down by the surprise sell out of both games so Bestbuy gave us all rainchecks.

I'm sure the next part of Assassins won't have any major problems. If it still does then Ubisoft Montreal will lose all its credibility from fans forever.

It's good to hear that Assassin's Creed has sold 1 million on PS3. It's numbers such as these that will make statements on where the market is shifting to. All fingers are pointing towards Sony's masterfully crafted PLAYSTATION 3 Home Entertainment system.
