[QUOTE="Arsuz"]Ouch. What about the PC version? I can't acces IGN right now. Don't know why.mastarifla

Oh and before I forget: LOOOOL PS3 VERSION GOT LOWER!!! :lol: TCHBO! AGAIN!

Playing back-to-back with the 360 version, it's obvious that Ubisoft did not devote enough resources to the PS3 edition. The framerate is considerably worse, so much so that it begins to affect gameplay in the later levels. You can get through the first two-thirds of Assassin with the framerate being just an annoyance, but it becomes more of an issue for the final third of the missions.IGN Review

This is horrible news for cows...:S

Isn't Ubisoft Montreal the same dev team that claimed PS3 development was a piece of cake?

because all Assassin creeds topics are getting locked, which i think is moronic imho, cause tell me ? how many people will see this post as opposed to a single topic, and I think Mods should distinguishe between one line posts .. and a whole argument post ... oh well ... what can i say ...

here goes the post :

this post discusses a single significant point of the argument.

WHAT THE #%@ is wrong with these low reviews from IGN and 1up ??? Did they give any credit to the story at all ? Can you seriously penalize a game for simply being repetitive after half of the game when other RPGs are almost entirely based on grinding yet score higher, and seriously is repetition something that brings a game down to that point ? since when ??

DID THEY FREAKING CONSIDER THE TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF AsC ?

DID THEY EVEN REALIZE WHATS THE SETTING IS ALL ABOUT ? I.E. THE STORY ?

Anyway, I think you guys need to check a more sensible review, which is in my opinion Game trailer's review. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27754.html?type=

Those @#$!@ reviewers seriously need to consider FE (that stands for further education) at least a college degree if you see what i mean. Their knowledge is so shallow that they are under-appreciating masterpieces and great epic stories of history. The most sophisticated thing they can absorb and appreciate seems to be how mindlessly can you kill a monster or a nazi or "now" a more general term "terrorists".

7.7 for assassins creed ... Pfffft .... the crowd's interactivity robust system on its own is probably worth 8.0 just to be able to experience it ....lol .. I say .. lol ..MORE OF LAWL to say the least ..

By the way, the most thing that pisses me off about these reviews as well as GS's reviews is the incredible inconsistency, I mean how on earth could assassin creed be equal in production values to another 7.7 title or even an 8.0 released in the same period ... tell me .. how ??? (forget crysis for a second, i heard it got 8.0 in 1up, my guesses are, they had a mass hashish party for all reviewers to pass the crunch period)

Oh the irony, games created by some of the most talented and creative people in world are judged by people who probably can't pass a test in Teh Engrish Language of Teh writingz of reviewz ...

I duno what to say anymore ..

Keep it clean .. Keep it freaking REAL ...

peace^^

If you agree .. tell me what you think ... not being able to post this as a separate topic still pisses me off though ... IDOIT Aliens crossing the streets ..

i mean ..

nothing really .. :)

Questions:

1. Have you played the game yet and therefore formed your own opinion based on experience?

2. Does your opinion completely disagree wtih the so called "Bad" reviews?

Answer:

Congratulations! You have found out that your, and only your opinion really matters. Ignore them and enjoy your game.

great epic stories of history

wiidominance

The story is about some guy 10 years from now getting to relive his ancestors memories through some kind of gene scanning device :| Epic stories of history indeed!

One particular thing in the IGN review that I find amusing is the fact that they gave Assassin's Creed an 8.5 in graphics, whearas they gave Halo 3 (which I loved by the way) a 9.0 in graphics. I am sorry, but it does not take a genius to see that Halo 3 is no where near as visually impressive as AC is....especially the character models.ironcreed

its like if the game has 1 bad point it completely overshadows all the good stuff

Wow, thanks for just ruining it whatnot.

Graphics are more than just how pretty a game looks, Assassin's Creed is full of glitches.

IGN - 7.7

WOW THATS A FLOP!

[QUOTE="ironcreed"]

Well, it is definitely starting to look like that is not meeting reviewers expectations, that's for sure. However, I am still fairly confident that I will love the game personally. But I am definitely going to go into playing it with a level and realistic mindset so that I will not set myself to be let down.

Even so though, I still think it will be a terrific game from my perspective....and that is what counts. But it does indeed look like it is not quite meeting it's hype. Though it would not be the first time it happened to a game that I ended up loving anyway, that's for sure. Therefore, I am not going to read anymore reviews until I have played the game myself tomorrow.

HarlockJC

I understand where you are coming from there are many low ranked games on my favs list. Sometimes scorces only metter in system wars.

It's not the score that matters, but why the game got the score it did. While the mechanics may be well implemented and the visuals stunning, the lack of things to do combined with the game's repetitive nature made me cancel my pre-order.

Basically; read the reviews people, not just the scores.

I agree, That is the way it goes with some reviewers, and why I am positive that I will still dig the hell out of this game. Even if does not completely live up to the hype it set for itself.

Here is another comparison that I find quite ironic. They say that Assassin's Creed is repetitive and the fact that it has no multiplayer hurts the replayability? What about a game like Bioshock? A great game indeed, but it is one of the more repetitive games that I have played this year, and it has no multiplayer. So what gives?

It just goes to show that reviews are not gospel, and are full of double standards. And why some people base all of their gaming purchases solely off of other's opinions is quite baffling, if you ask me. Oh well, it is what it is, lol. Cannot wait to pick up AC tomorrow.

ASSASSINS CREED IGN SCORES:

PS3 Version - 7.5

XBOX 360 Version - 7.7

"These big open worlds, which are fully interactive, do come at a severe cost on PS3.There is considerable texture pop-in and noticeable framerate issues. Playing back-to-back with the 360 version, it's obvious that Ubisoft did not devote enough resources to the PS3 edition. The framerate is considerably worse, so much so that it begins to affect gameplay in the later levels. You can get through the first two-thirds of Assassin with the framerate being just an annoyance, but it becomes more of an issue for the final third of the missions."

IGN - 7.7

WOW THATS A FLOP!

greenleaflink

While GI, Gametrailers, and Gamepro all gave it AAA scores. At this point the GS review could go either way.

This game didnt flop at all! GS gives it a 9.0!MetalContra

lol indeed not a flop

do you see the differences though? those reviews all came out early. The reviews out now are average to sub par. they reviewed higher because they were given the chance to get their word out early.

Congrats on the 9.0. I want the PC version :)

Looks like IGN pulled a Ratchet and Clank future over there.

9.0 AAA at GS!

IGN and 1up officially suck.

IGN's review was MUCH more detailed - scroll up to my post and read it.

The PS3 version has terrible framerates comapred to the 360 version.

And Gamespot gives it a 9. This has to be the biggest love it or hate it game I've ever seen. Seriously, look at the wide variance in scores. It's crazy.Zeliard9

Well Im gonna have to go with gamespot on this one. Im so sick of critics slamming games for not being inovative and them not giving them credit when they are. The game is fun and inovative and thats all that matters.

9.0 AAA at GS!

IGN and 1up officially suck.

Gamer556

Everyone has their compeltely wrong stupid review. This is IGNs stupid review. Gamespot has Ratchet and Clank.

This game didnt flop at all! GS gives it a 9.0!MetalContra

Ahh yes, GS....respect earned.

"Assassin's Creed is a beautiful and exciting experience that you'll remember for years to come."

9.0 sounds completely reasonable to me.

There's a pretty big contradiction in the IGN and Gamespot reviews about the differences between the PS3 and 360 version:

These big open worlds, which are fully interactive, do come at a severe cost on PS3. There is considerable texture pop-in and noticeable framerate issues. Playing back-to-back with the 360 version, it's obvious that Ubisoft did not devote enough resources to the PS3 edition. The framerate is considerably worse, so much so that it begins to affect gameplay in the later levels. You can get through the first two-thirds of Assassin with the framerate being just an annoyance, but it becomes more of an issue for the final third of the missions.IGN

There are few differences between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. PS3 owners are blessed with a slightly more solid frame rate, although the 360 version features a little more contrast in the lighting, so it's pretty much a wash.Gamespot

Where is this so called Gamespot review? I can't find it.

edit
Never mind.

This has got to be the most polarizing game for quite some time.

IGN's review was MUCH more detailed - scroll up to my post and read it.

From the gamespot review:

Gamespot word is LAW HERE not IGN. Stop talking trash lems.

Thank you gamespot . After the lackluster IGN review this is good news.

PS: I'm back !
