Any news on Assassin's Creed PC?

game looks great, but it's the same team that made the last Spliter Cell right? I've heard the PS3 version is buggy, I can't hope for much since it seems a lot of Ubisoft games PC ports are horrible 🙁

to Ryland a Wii version was announced this week.

True, but the recent Ubi ports that suck came out the same time as the console yes? I can't remember... the point is I think they're trying a little harder on this one. I wouldn't hold my breath, but I don't think it'll be as bad as the R6:V port. <shudders>
 
heard people complain about the R6:V port, what was so bad with it? I haven't finished it, but playing thru about 75% of it I haven't had it crash once, and haven't noticed any problems. Never played the Xbox360 version to compare. but it seemed pretty smooth on my PC overall.

the release version of the PS3 game was buggy, but they released a patch that fixed some/most of the issues. IMO don't waste your money on it. The climbing element is cool, but the voice acting is horrible, the plot makes 0 sense, and the gameplay elements, though novel for the first city/target, are rehashed for the remainder of the game.

In otherwords, the gameplay is like this:

1. Go to new city

2. Climb tower to find assasin guild "local office"

3. visit local office, talk to some dumb sh!t who has the same voice in every city, no matter that he looks different and is in a different city.

4. Find out meaningless crap about your target using one of 3 or 4 mini games: e.g., interrogation (very annoying); pickpocketing (incredibly annoying because the tutorial for how to do it is terrible and the controls are not exactly intuitive); and eavesdropping (i.e., sit on park bench listening to people who <gasp> BOTH have the same voice as the assasin's guild local office guy talk about random crap that you are supposed to use to exploit your target)

5. once you have done enough minigames (usually 4-5): go back to local office, talk to the dumb sh!t again, get permission to kill target

6. Go to where target is, cue random cutscene designed to show you how the guy you are supposed to kill is bad;

7. Kill your target (which is usually very very easy), and while the guy is dying, listen to him give a 2-3 minute explanation why he was not, in fact, bad (nevermind you shoved a spike in the guys throat, he can still talk)

8. Run away.

9. Return to guild main hideout, get new mission (which involves EXACTLY the same elements as the first mission. Wash rinse repeat 9-10 times, with slightly improved equipment each time.

My suggestion: wait for a demo. If you like that, THEN consider buying it.

Yeah it looks good but it is so boring. Biggest gaming disappointment for me in years.

Agreed. Watching the trailers for it on TV was more entertaining than actually playing it.

lol.. yea..thats the game alright. I finished the game but I got really tired of it halfway through the game. Not sure what possessed me to keep going except maybe hoping things will get better later in the game. No day/night cycles, no indoor gameplay, beautiful cities with nothing to really do except find stupid flags just for lame achievement points, horrible in between level segments with slow plodding movement and super easy fighting...etc. Don't get me started on the ending. Yea its different but its still very underwhelming. Thats the game in a nutshell..underwhelming. Gorgeous graphics though..

HERESY! It is the same team that made PRINCE OF PERSIA, which was gobs better than any of the SC titles.

God dammit.

Aside from that, however, the reviews were lukewarm on the gameplay, and I intend to check it out before buying. It seems like it might be off target a bit.
 
I enjoyed the game on my PS3.

However, it begins to get very repetitive in the middle of the game.

Then, it becomes very easy, even to take on a virtually infinite number of enemies at once.


I am expecting that AC2 will be much better. They set up a very interesting storyline.

They ported a console game, intended for use on HD TV's, which are 90% widescreen.
The Xbox 360 standard resolution is a widescreen one.
They neglected to include any non-4:3 resolutions in the PC port, so while the original console version was basically only widescreen, the PC port managed to be totally non-widescreen.
IIRC they didn't include 5:4 1280x1024 either.
That's just one fairly obvious example of the poor job they did.
Also, if the Unreal 3 Engine is anything like the previous ones, it's remarkably simple to add in new resolutions and FOV's for them.
 
The game was leaked a month before retail release..crazy!!! I already finished it on the 360 and have no intention of playing the pc version but its ridiculous how fast some games get leaked on the seven seas.
 
I'm sailing toward that sweet booty now.

I hope they didn't fuck up the controls and make it a shit console port...

edit: on second thought after reading a bit about it, this one isn't even worth the download heh.
 
The Russian release works, but the problem is that it's all Russian. While the other leaks aren't 'finished' as they crash at a certain point.

I thought Creed was awesome, I would highly suggest it.

It does get repetitive at times, but so do most games, its a beautiful game, and if you like exploring around and doing awesome fucking assassinations, then this game is totally for you.

I loved it, others loved it, some hated it.

I found I enjoyed it more when I took my time on it, my friend powered through the game in a day or two and hated it, I spent a couple weeks on it and it was great!
