So who is campin for this release?
I would but im broke :(

[Valkyrie]

I am ^_^ this game looks amazing!

[.Zero Nue]

I'm not. But this game looks promising unlike the other games out there.. The way the graphics are and so on looks awesome to play.

[Munky]

I really like this game, there was a gamer-tv-show that gave a preview of the game. They showed all the features of the game, the thing i like best of all was the mobility of the assassin.

The game is awesome, but it'll take a while before i can buy one :D

[Analog]

I am getting it in the first few days that its out but I am not camping out for it lol

[.Zero Nue]

Lazy aren't you lolz. But yeah waiting for it will be such a bother when you can get it later on without the rush.

[ubbi]

The game looks pretty sweet, I wish they released it back when it was supposed to. Now I don't have a 360 anymore.

[lordstrix]

ya unfortunatly i am w/out job so im broke untill then but I am waiting for this game to be released it has great graphics and very interesting limb controlls

[Valkyrie]

I love how you have to push through crowds or you can lend in with passing monks and go in for the kill.Ah why won't it come out?I want to be an assassin!Wonder what the story line is though...

[lordstrix]

well here it is
Assassin's Creed is set in AD 1191, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
The story follows Altaïr, a disgraced master assassin who embarks on a quest to restore his status within the Assassin Order. After failing to assassinate the Templar leader Robert de Sable and recover the legendary Templar Treasure, Altaïr is demoted to Uninitiated (the lowest rank in the Assassin Order).
But Sinan, leader of the Assassins, offers him an opportunity to redeem himself. Altaïr must venture out into the Holy Land and assassinate men said to be exacerbating and exploiting the hostilities created by the Third Crusade. In doing so, he will stabilize the region, allowing Sinan to usher in an age of peace.
When the game begins, Richard the Lionheart has just recaptured the port city of Acre from occupying Saracens. With a base of operations established, the Crusaders prepare to march south. Their true target is Jerusalem – which they intend to recapture in the name of the Church. However, Saladin, leader of the Saracen army, currently rules the city. Stinging from his army’s defeat at Acre, he will not allow Richard to humiliate him again. The Saracens are massing at the ruins of Fortress Arsuf, intending to ambush the Crusaders and prevent them from reaching Jerusalem.
These war maneuvers have left the rest of the Holy Land wide open. While Richard and Saladin battle one another, the men left to govern in their stead have begun taking advantage of their newfound positions of power. Exploitation, manipulation, and provocation rule the day. It is in this chaotic mess that Altaïr now finds himself. He is ordered to eliminate those most active in their exploitation. This is how the Assassin begins his mission.
Along the way, however, he will begin to discover that his targets are bound by more than just a shared interest in personal gain. They share membership in a secret society familiar to the Hashshashin. And they are not simply looking for profit. Their true goal and how they plan to achieve it leads to a modern-day conspiracy with secrets to be discovered during the course of the story.

[Valkyrie]

wow now I want to play it even more..

[Munky]

Nice story

[ProtoFunc]

just bought the game.....going to play it tonight when i get back from teh workzorz....cannot wait, looks kickass and storyline seems unique.. T_T

[Jedi Taicho]

The game is crazy cool. Proto your soo lucky to have it. I need to go out and get it too. XD

[lordstrix]

I still dont have any $ :( It looks great though...

[The_Supervisor]

it's looking really nice, not sure how the controls are gonna work out for me though, it'll prolly take some getting used to. Graphics look awesome and the amount of freedom u get is nice too.
I'll be getting this when it's released for pc :]

[Vlad]

Some of my friends got this game, so we playing it now. Graphics is absolutely amazing, the view of the city from the hill, just wow.

[rxfreedom]

Oh look way way to cool but i dont have the money or the system to play it rite now!

[Sushi]

that game is sweet
I just got an xbox and that game is my first on it
Mabe it is just the experience of having an x-box 360 for the first time, but the graphics, sound effects, and overall experience is AMAZING

[deto]

awesome game, the producer is even better xD

[lordstrix]

Ubisoft does make great games Ill have to agree with u there :)

sc , pop and now ac :)

[Insight]

@deto: damn right

[deto]

btw, awesome game... playin atm... party in mah pants xD

[ProtoFunc]

yes... indeed it is a good game.. i've finished the first assassination thus far and the i must say...the free roam is pretty damn cool xD

[deto]

btw... beware: water xD and Grand Theft Horse :redbiggri

[Neku]

Great game, been playing on it loads the past few days. D:

Although i'm only up to the 4th assassination, i've been going around finding all the eagle points and saving all the citizens. Mind you i can see it getting repetative nearer the end with these assassinations, i mean its the same stuff over and over for each assassination so far, go around, pick pocket a guy, eavesdrop over a convosation, murder for infomation or interrigate someone... Still though i am really enjoying it so far. D:

[OutLawBankai]

has one else finished this yet =/ i need 2 talk 2 some people about it lol and also ive been told that there will be 2more games comming taking part on the next 2 months in the game time line

[The_Irving]

Just assassinated the 5th dude. This game is amazing in every way, and the storyline is probably the best one on the 360 so far (and maybe the PS3, but I don't own one).

[DarkSlayer]

Allow me to appologize in advance if there is another thread about this topic, I did not see one before making this one.
While we're on the topic of great games, I suggest our X-box 360 owners pick up Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed.
The game is absolutely beautiful, and the controls grant quite a bit of
freedom - though they take a few minutes to get used to.
With 3 major cities and an "inbetween" kingdom to explore, Assassin's Creed offers a lot of eye candy for those of us that enjoy crisp graphics.
Each city has tons of little missions and amazing views necessary to map out the entire city. You can save citizens of the city and enjoy the view points to help map out the city, or you can stalk the guards from the rooftops or the shadows and assassinate them at will. The battle system is unique and the counters are quite brutal.
If you don't mind a little repetition then I strongly suggest picking it up or at least renting it.

I see there was indeed another post about Assassin's Creed. Once again, my appologies. I'm still learning to use the site's functions, like Search Forum.

[The_Irving]

I just beat Assassin's Creed, and the ending is a combination of amazing and a cliffhanger that makes be want to set Ubisoft on fire. So, who wants to discuss a sequel?

[ProtoFunc]

roflcakes..

AC rox my sox.

i beat the game the week it came out.. the only "repetition" is in the side quests (saving citizens, gathering information) and even so, what game isn't like that? >.>.. the assassinations themselves are different.

only hint after you beat the game.....


use your eagle vision on the wall behind the bed.. after you do that, it's the end of the game so don't be like.. "what do i do now?"

this game was awesome imo.. worth playing just for teh freaking LEAP OF FAITHS!!! i can leap all DAY LONG! and the fighting/running/assassinating is sex. i love it.

can't wait till they come out with the sequel. hopefully AC 1 raised enough support to result in a part 2. i know that was an issue.....but damn, altair is a real man's man.

the 8th assassination was hella long too xD but fun at teh same time......and ZOMGZOR!!




Was anybody else stoked when you found out the chick who worked with the animus was an assassin and possibly worked with them????? when i saw her finger was CHOPPED OFF i was like, DAMN!!!

[Shikaru-Kuto]

this game is pretty fun. I truely enjoy just going around and killing everyone. Its good to know that I can be a mass murderer anytime I want. :)

[AznMafia19]

I love this game, and I agree with ya Shikaru just the being of killing people like a ninja is that cool feeling. :)

[Momentum]

Watched a few videos on youtube and I was like :eek: MUST GET!!! I thought the game was gonna suck, I was wrong. Pretty unusual to have a chick as a producer too... Don't have a PS3 yet but I have the money to buy one. I'll wait till Christmas. :rolleyes

[Artemis]

I just finished it.
A bit late, perhaps, but I seriously recommend to buy it for anyone thinking about it.

The smoothness of the character's moves, the interactivity.
Everything was awesome.

The ending just made me want to know what would happen if there was a sequel.

But, god, I hated the beggars.
You're trailing someone, and they come up to you, blocking you from your target. Then you try to silently assassinate the target, then BAM! you accidentally stab the beggar.

It's a pain to run away from the guards. <.<

But, seriously, get the game.
Full of goodness.

*Resurrection of Dead Thread Complete*

[Vlad]

This game is really good. When I got this game I was not sure if I like it. But this game is great.

[Artemis]

And I hear a sequel coming along too.
:D

But since there hasn't been much hoot about a sequel yet, it probably means it'll come out in early 2009. :<

I'm thinking that since Desmond has so long been on the Animus, he's abilities are almost fully synched to Altair, which is why you can use Eagle Vision at the end.

Which could result in Lucy and Desmond break out and join the other Assassins and try to regain the world through assassinating key members of the Templars.

Just a theory.


Anyone else got a theory?

...And i think thats the first time I've used a spoiler for what it's supposed to be used for. :D

[DarkSlayer]

Favorite thing to do is fight with either my dagger or just my hidden blade.

It takes a LOT of practice and really good timing, but if you counter with just your hidden blade, you can pull off some sick counters.

I love fighting guards with my dagger and knocking them down - because then I just sheath my dagger and pull out my HB and stab them in the throat on the ground to finish the job and walk away. Just another day in the city.

Or assassinating every guard around a View Point tower, one by one. Walking up to the first one all sage-like...SHANK...Blend again and wait for his slow buddy to walk over and inspect him...SHANK...rinse and repeat.

[Momentum]

I'm up to the 9th person on the game. Looking forward to the sequel. IMO they should do some improvements like you should be able to knock a person out and steal clothes, act like a retarded or drunk person and actually put the stealth feeling into the game. But hey still a good game.

[November]

I'm still in the middle of mine, haven't had much time for games lately, but i love it , its fun just going around killing people and jumping off roofs.

[Pierrot]

It's a solid game overall, the story has given Ubisoft a great opportunity to make money on the sequels.
Overall I think the game looks and moves incredibly and any criticism of the engine overall would be irrelevant. Some criticisms directed at the gameplay mechanics are very accurate though, some of the design choices are just old recycled methods that have been around for too long and break the Illusion somewhat.
The Interrogations are a fine example of this, you follow the target in stealth, he predictably goes to the darkest corner of the city and then turns around and waits for you, it's broken and in 2007/2008 it should be a thing of the past.
Other claims about assassination repetition are a little over the top, I didn't find them too repetative and welcomed the post fight cutscenes myself.

I will say again, it's a fine example of a developer promising the sky, it happens all the time now with the increased influence of PR and the Hype machine getting started very early on. Assassins creed could have been so much better really, but alot of the mistakes will be ironed out for the sequel i'm sure and Ubi have made themselves a solid and generally well received foundation to build on.

[RyuTenchu]

i hate it theres NO ENDING

[Momentum]

^^ To me its like a cliffhanger. It is a trilogy after all. By the way, I just finished the game. Overall the game was too easy. I spent no more than one minute beating Al Mualim. All I did was counter then hidden blade, DONE!!! I agree with some other people that Assassins Creed would've been better but meh I hope the sequel will be better.

WERD!

a very accurate and honest opinion/critique on the game. game isn't the best, but it's not the worst. overall i got satisfaction out of beating it and do look forward to/will buy the sequel. if they don't work out the quirks by the second game though, then i'll express disappointment.

[Kuroudo]

Beat the game in a week, each assassination took a day. it was awsome for me to found out why Richard the Lionhearted did not attack jersualem, because Altair wanted peace. the ending was a massive cliffhanger though.

those symbols on the floors and walls? yeah they're all multiple prophecies of the end of the world, including the firestorm of death, 2012 December 21st, Mayan Predictions and some asian predictions. theres probably gonna be a sequel regarding that.

My favorite thing to do is just get ALLOT of guards on me and just counter attack them, one hit kills FTW its also stylish.

[Ichigo1234]

I did enjoy the game overall but I felt it didn't reach its potential. They did a great job making a sandbox-like enviornment but they concentrated too much time on the sandbox instead of spending a little more time on what to do in the sandbox as AC felt quite repetitive at times. Aside from that, the graphics are great even though the framerate drops at times. The voice acting is top notch and the story was very interesting. Hopefully, the sequel will improve on this and ubisoft trying harder on what to do in the sandbox. Overall, I give this game an 8.8

[Kuroudo]

PRoblem with beating the game is when you click contiune you start with the beginning of the cutscene after defeating Al Mualim
Then you have to wait though all that cutscene and credits crap before you get back killing some Crusaders/Muslims. The chase scenes (if you run away from the guards) are fun its all indiana jones style, jumping though merchant carts swining.etc fun stuff, counter attacking is the most funnest thing though.

[Livius]

Great Game. =]
I bought it the day it came out after school.
I had fun playing and the fighting was ok, but i loved doing the leap of faith.
I think i beat it in a week. O.o
No i have to do it over because someone started a new story and mine is gone.

[silverwolf801]

I like the whole jumping on people and killing them. and also standing on buildings and throwing knives. O and also assassination missions. O and sneaking up on people. O and killing templars. O and throwing archers off of the roof tops. NICE

[Tobi]

Lamest thing was.

Was when you had to collect 20 flags for that guy. I mean, come on Ubi, being ******* original you cunts.

[silverwolf801]

didn't you have to do that more than once. I haven't even collected all of any flags outside or inside of the kingdoms. Plus I haven't even killed all of the templars

[Livius]

i cant even find all the Templars....
i find them by chance.
*Running around like Batman, Jumping rooftops, Stumbles onto a Templar*
>=]

Good game though, gets repetative but still really good.

[Tobi]

Not all the Sarcen flags or anything, it was a informant for memory block 3 or something. Had to find 20 flags in 3minutes. Plain annoying T__T

[Alex26]

the flags are on order if you mean the informant ones, very easy to take them all, hardly find, more like follow @_@

[Kuroudo]

getting the flags isnt a requirement for beating the game y'know..i love taking on like 20 guards then just killing them by using counter-attack. Templars suck, i hate them.


I also discovered this if you haven't figured this out

Richard's Leave from the Holy Land

In the 3rd Crusade after taking acre Richard the Lionhearted and his army marched south towards Jerusualem his army prepared his forces ready, he could have sieged the city. but no Richard instead turned around and left for England to fight the french a few years later (of which he died then) many historians believe that Richard saw that his mean where low in morale, and were weakned compared to the size of Saladin's defense force.

Fictional Assassins Creed Explanation

While you were off killing the templar leaders, Richard and Saladin fought renlentlessly at the end of the game You Fight Robere'De Sable and kill him, Alt'air explains to Richard that the only way to resolve this conflict is to stop the crusades and have peace, though this is what Richard wants Alt'air proves him that what he is doing will only bring more pain, this fills in tha the Hasshasshin (The First Order of Assassins) managed to stop the war all together in secrecy, because there was no scolar to record this because it was in the middle of a battle, this was never recorded.

[lordstrix]

ya it was a fairly gd game didnt finish it though .... 2 hrs of sleep and hyaving objectives dosnt mesh well ... lol , i got distracted and just killed all the guards in the city o,.,0

[Kuroudo]

1 assassination=1 day for me.

[Viva_ Shira]

i got the game really dont wanna play it..seems more of another repeat of uh.. what's that game called? oh yea "sands of time"? no prince of persia oh well it's alright. But i do wanna find out what happens at the end, i guess i'll watch my bro beat it.

[Kuroudo]

lol ITS NOTHING like Prince of Persia.

Prince of Persia= 500 B.C- 500 A.D (Era of Persian Empire)
v
Assassins Creed= 1100-1200 A.D (Era of the Third Crusade)

Very Diffrent Gamplay, Prince of Persia is more like God of war an arcade-style-platform-hackslasher.

but no Assassins creed is diffrent, Assiassination, morality the way the crowds act, combat, contiuning the storyline, the graphics. oh yeah i can see the similarties. Theres sand, and theres a desert............ ya. Think again its better than Prince of Persia, wayyy better trust me.

[FiddleStick]

I enjoyed the Prince of Persia games alot more then this one. Although Assassins Creed does start out very nicely, and the ending is pretty good. The inbetween sucks, and it gets waaaaay too friggin' repetative. You do the same thing over and over again, countless times. It really sucked the fun out of the game...well for me it did anyways. With the PoP games you were always going somewhere different and solving different puzzles. I enjoyed that alot more then this game.
Get mission go to a couple different cities, and do the same thing for each one(View points, Ease Drop, Interrogation, Pickpocket, and Save Citizen(if you want)). Then later go back to the same friggin cities and do the same thing again.
All I know is that I hope the later installments in this game are alot better.

I agree though the repeteive missions where annoying but the fighting parts just kept me to love it.

Most Likely it will be in 2012 (present day) or after Al'Tair defeated Al'Mualim and since the end cutscene showed several blood stains if you havent figured it out already they are all predictions of the end of the world the game takes place in September 2012 and is 3 months away from December 21st 2012 the set date of Apocolapyse it will haven something to do with Templars vs Hasshasshin (Assassins) and Myles will be the main char (notice how his white hoody resembles Al'Tair's outfit.)

yea i know, but besides the new stuff like hiding for the ninja crap, most of the gameplay is just like it i would rate that game a 6...it's too short from what i hear, and for me right now i dunno if i'll play it again my bro does.

O.O
that sounds cool. i wish i understood all those differnt types of symbols of blood.
the only ones that are obvious ate the japanese buildings, the english words and if i remember a pentagram...
lol im like who is Miles and i remember thats Desmonds last name.

[Kuroudo]

His name is Desmond Myles not Myles Desmond names are funny like that , my name is Brown Chris lol.

yea i know, but besides the new stuff like hiding for the ninja crap, most of the gameplay is just like it i would rate that game a 6...it's too short from what i hear, and for me right now i dunno if i'll play it again my bro does.

Are you calling hiding for the ninja crap? thats what i like about it, its very realistic unlike naruto or Ninja Gaiden, if your going to be uber strong be a samurai or something because ninja is all about stealth.

and which game are you talking about Prince of Persia or Assassins Creed? i finished the game in a week on non-stop playing, i did go to sleep though.

[IDemon]

just for those interested I found a glitch in this game
I uploaded a video of the glitch to my youtube and that can be found here
lN5xdLhRufk

Also other interesting glitches can be found via this link
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=assassins+creed+glitch

[Livius]

O.o
i think thats happened to me before.
But its normal. Thats in a ton of games. Its the falling animation but your stuck in mid air.
it happened to me once whe i was climbing a wall i think. =]

[itto]

i got stuck on a wall too... I liked the game but once you've really gotten used to it it gets boring...

[Twinky]

beat the game, amazing story line, imma play it again

[Mavvy]

The game was way too repetitive. Killing random guards once in a while was fun though.

[Vampyrelord]

I'm considering getting this game, but is it true that guards only attack you one at a time?! It sounds stupidly easy...

[young_saiyan]

Actually, while your fighting one guard, the other will attack you and you can perform a counter attack that's so beautiful it makes you cry.

I love Assassin's Creed. Love it. Absolutely adore it. You know in the first mission, if you go to the edge of Masaya (or however you spell it) and keep walking in that direction you can get that Eagles achievement for 100 kills or something. And the leap of faith's... *drools*

Best part of the game though is the Templars. I love killing those ***wipes. x3

[Manchester Black]

This was a good game in my opinion. But it did get repetative after a while. Luckily it wasn't some ridiculously long game and the repetativeness wasn't too terribly noticeable. The counter attacks are a thing of beauty.

Vamp, the game is definately worth getting and playing through once.

[Joan]

I want this game soooo bad. I even looked at it at the store today. But, I do not have the money atm. And that annoys me more than you don't know.

Maybe I'll just dl it : >

I'll see, if some money comes up I would like to buy it. I like having the casing and the original games : )

[Mavvy]

If anything, rent the game. You'll beat it within in a few days and you'll be satisfied that you played a pretty good game while at the same time satisfied that you saved money from not buying a pricey game. It depends on how much you can withstand the repetitive nature of the game.

When you're fighting. Other guards will attack you too so be aware of your surroundings when you're surrounded by multiple guards. The countering system is sweet and s fun to do. Instead of attacking, I'll try to counter every attack. xD

[Strifer]

This game looks cool.

[Vampyrelord]

I hate repetition :<

How is it repetitive? Are the levels all the same? If so, it's a real no-no for me...

[Tank9001]

This game is awesome I beat it in like 5 hours though.

[Vlad]

This game kind of bord me. It was not as interesting as I thought.

[Manchester Black]

I hate repetition :<

How is it repetitive? Are the levels all the same? If so, it's a real no-no for me...

The levels aren't the same, but it's repetative in the sense that your objective is pretty much the same.

[Vlad]

Yeah levels are very nice. But action is way to repetative.
