PlayStation 3 Assassin's Creed patch is now live

I returned mine 3 days after release, as it was unplayable. I would keep an eye on Ubi forums over the next week or so to see what the feedback will be. I'm sure they fixed the freezing, but if the framerate and screen-tearing isn't fixed I'm not sure I'd go buy it again.

Sure, no problem :)

The music is amazing! Especially in surround sound. You can tell it has high production values.

Story, and the way it is told is very cool (has a moment a few missions in that really makes you think about your situation....which is a first for me). I like the narrator, makes everything feel extremely epic.

The levels are bloody huge.

There's a LOT going on in the levels.

....and now for a controversial comment....

I like the control scheme alot!! I'm not sure what the hell people were complaining about. It felt pretty responsive to me (maybe they added something to the UK release to make it feel better or something) Also, I play dogfights in Warhawk with the motion controls on and kick ass so this isn't much different :). You just need to think that the joypad in your hand acts like "reigns" on the dragon so you are not actually controlling the dragon directly, but the rider. I think there was only one level which I had problems with (so far lol) and it's the mission at night with tons of spotlights searching for you and I reckon that was only because I was too impatient. When I took my time, I was fine.

But what I like most about it is that I finally think I've actually played a "next-gen" game. It just feels different than most games I played (I'm comparing it too Drakenguard and Panzer Dragoon) I heard all the bad reviews but I only ever trust my own opinion in the end, which is why I like demos. In this case I took a risk as there were no demos.....but it paid off. It really belongs in my collection.

If you're just gonna rent it for 10 bucks, I'll say go for it. I bought it and I'm very happy.......but of course that's just my opinion :)

It's not a perfect game, but it didn't deserve all the fuss about it. Only one thing to add to LeShin perfect description: It's also a great game to have on your shelf for those people who are not gamers. I've seen pretty young players doing very well with it (much better than some reviewers I guess!). I've also seen some of my friends who hate consoles because they cannot stand the controllers (you know the type that won't play if it's not with a mouse and keyboard?) absolutely enjoying it and sadly, hugging my PS3 for hours... Trust me, don't spend money renting it. Buy it (maybe on Ebay) and then if you ever don't like it, sell it back. If you rent it, you may have a hard time taking it back to the store : )

Ya I really enjoy LAIR
imo the jaggies and frame drops were only slightly worst than the 360version of Oblivion. Nothing that took away significantly form the experience. The controls are intuative enough and help connect you even more to the dragon you command. Going form the air to the ground seamlessly is amazing has are soem of the enemies and levels..
Not a perfect game but still a unique and inspiring experience for all those dragon lovers out there.

Now Im praying for a new version of Draken that was the best dragon game of all time!

I have a quick question about Lair. The 180 degree turns is a sharp movement upward am I right and would the movement in Folklore to absorb souls be the same.

I plan to get the game after Christmas

More or less, yes... Think of controlling Lair like you would a horse. Hold the control like reins, basically. You wanna turn around? Well, flick the controller up, as if you're holding reins. Wanna go fasteR? Push it down and up < not like that, though.

As for Folklore, yes and no. You have to push a button to steal a soul, but you do whip the controller up to yank it out of it. In my opinion, Folklore uses motion control very well. Very subtle and very rewarding.

i agree it's certainly a game every ps3 owner should experience for themselves and make there own mind up as it's certainly not as bad or flawed as many would have you believe.
From my own perspective i found it a game i could play for about an hour in any one sitting more than that and it started to feel repetative

it's a good game tho

also good news about the Assassins Creed patch

If it goes on sale, consider it bought. But once I'm done Uncharted and some more story in Oblivion I'll definitely rent it.

I like user input more than "professional" reviews because there's zero chance you're getting paid for your word. It's all your true opinion. So I will ignore the reviews for the most part and I'll check it out, because it was a purchase to me until the reviews came around.

And being tight on money at the time, I had to heed their words carefully. So thanks again dudes.

And why are PS3 gamers so much nicer than 360 gamers?

I'm in the UK and the patch is indeed out (v 1.10), and it's 25mb. Too soon to tell if it's fixed the freezing issue (it's only frozen a couple of times for me). Everything else seems to be the same, no enhancements to force feedback I'm afraid. Oh wells :)
