Assassin's Creed: short? repetitive side missions?

Wabba · 01-11-2008

I loved this game. I think Altair is one of the most badass characters. Even if it was repetitive, it was still fun imo. Storylines > game play to me. Thats why I love kingdom hearts and other repetitive games. This had one of the best stories in games ive played. Also, the graphics were amazing. Usually when you look from a cliff to a city, its just decoration and there are invisible walls all over the place. Here, you could go everywhere that you could see.

Im posting a link with huge spoilers and it explains the ending in detail, including AC2 possibilities, as well as email explanations.

Altair is a badass.... But you liked the storyline? I thought it was terrible.

At first, I thought the "twist" in the beginning was busch league, but after I realized who was in charge, I actually thought that it was cool. Also, the ending with the eagle vision made me stop and go... wow, I cant wait for the sequel.

Yeah, I agree with you... to me, the ending of the game somewhat made up for the cookie cutter missions.

I actually enjoyed assassins creed, it was pretty freaking awsome, the ending left me excited as hell for the next ac, i'm pretty sure the next one will be a shooter since desmon got the eagle vision at the end.... and um well now he has to escape now, and the animus thing is done so the next one will be very diffrent, can't wait lol, ac2 should be out by the end of this year, or early next year.

I'm on my last kill right now in Jerusalem but I turned my 360 off and now i can get my system to work... I dejust put on some VGA cables (i think) and ma the graphics own. My room mate who set it up hopefully can get it to work in a few hours.

I think the side missions aren't that bad... I dot mind saving a citizen or basically just fighting some dudes. i would like some variation in some things but the cities were so bad *** and diverse it was okay. I'm ready for the ending though.

I heard from one of my friends the next AC has something to do with the mafia, or something.

I don't know about "the mafia" having something to do with the next AC game, but I'm thinking that there will be something that involves the corporation's hand in all of this futuristic "templars vs. assassins" kind of vibe.

If that doesn't sound right, I am talking about all of the weird crap that happened near the end of the game... if you got through it, I hope you know what I am talking about.

Yeah, it makes sense. I just got through it last night actually. I started reading on here about the "crazy cliff hanger ending" and had to dig deep inside myself and find the resolve to complete the it, and I honestly was disappointed with the game as a whole can't wait to take it right back to Gamestop.

It was just extremely short, and all the missions were the exact same every single time. The only ripple of difference was when you had to get to Arsuf or whatever the town was called, and run the little mini gauntlet of fighting the soldiers and then, the last fight with what's his face was different, but confusing at first. I think more could have been done with the fighting system, or at least done differently as it was kind of akward. I don't know, i'm sure they will do better with the next installments and hopefully they will deliver because this one sure didn't.
