Exactly what I said.

The direct download link to the movie was posted in a PC section on a site, I simply clicked on it and it downloaded then opened up in Q-T.

It looks and acts same as the PC version (I should know). ;)

Your movies does not even play BTW.

EDIT: right click Save As works.
 
Completed it last night. Underwhelmed by the story and the ending, the only really taxing bit of the whole game were the final battles, the rest was trivial. Whole game just a exercise in repeating the same tasks in different towns: pickpocket, eavesdrop, silent assassinate, climb viewpoint, kill boss - repeat ad infinitum with no real deviation at all. Naturally the twist ending could be spotted a mile off.

The only really interesting bit in the game for me was the climbing aspect, that was done really well - the rest was "meh". I particularly didn't like the fact that stealth was irrelevant outside of the stealth assassin missions - you could slaughter every guard you came across in full public view with no consequence (I don't buy into the fact that the game is "what you make it" with regard to stealth, if it's supposed to be a game based around stealth it should actively punish you for non-stealthy actions).

Plays 100% like a console game with very limited replay value, unless you count gathering all the flags (yawn).
 
rofl just found some funny bug killed like 10 guards and i though i seen dead guard blink so i switched to an eagle eye vision and all dead body's blink :eek: :D

edit: found another one i jumped from a roof and i think i died but i had full health so i was just lying there on the ground and had to restart the game

How do you mean? When I kill a guard I just get more and find myself having to run away, break LOS/hide. Or are you referring to longer term consequences as in Oblivion were the guards remember you and make you public enemy #1?

If it's the latter then you answered your own question with the first six words of your last line ;)
 
Assassins Creed is a good example of what COULD be done next time. i enjoy the environments, climbing, even the fighting is quite cool. the story is extremely painful...like a senior came up with the idea and WAS going to implement it. going to bed ffs?!

i would love to see AC made more tactical eg. stealth etc. would also like to see a mod of your character eg. if u kill everyone have more aggressive weapons, higher strength etc. if stealth is your bag, have a bag full of potions etc. sommin along those lines...

but most of all i want to be in the DISCWORLD...working for the assassins guild in Ankh Morpork :D

Yeah, I guess it's because the combat itself isn't that taxing - even if you have like 15 odd people fighting you all you need to really do is hold block and counter-attack the moment they try and strike - either it knocks them down and you can just chop them up as they're trying to get up, or you insta-kill them.

You've hit the nail on the head really - Oblivion was a game which felt like a PC game but happened to transition well to console, whereas Assassin's Creed feels like it was made for the 360 and someone just lazily re-released it "as is" on PC.

I guess I was just expecting a lot more depth to it.

EDIT: This review deftly sums up my issues with the game

Just to let anyone know who is interested.

The Retail version over the Leaked version has better eye candy.

There is 2 Graphics settings that can be set to 4/4 instead of 3/3.
 
The main thing annoying me at the moment is the lack of variety in what the guards etc say. "That will cost you your life" said a million times in 20 minutes really starts to grate!

Yeah i got fed up of that, so i just sprint straight at em and unleash the fury :cool:
 
lucky you i have sepach bug i cant hear sometime nothing i can hear only music and sound effects cant hear any conversations for some reason !
 
Silly question time - I know it was covered in the tutorial at the start, but how do you carry out Stealth Kills?. I can't remember!!!

I'm in a place called Acre ( sp? ) near the very start of the game and at one point on the map, an icon for an archer has appeared but it says it "must be a stealth kill" or something similar?.
 
If you have the quick-blade or whatever it's called equipped, you just walk up behind them until it says "Assassinate" on that control bit.
 
I dont get why ppl are complaining about counter attack making the game too easy, the thing is if u find that too easy then stop using it, seems simple enough to me, i dont use it all the time, makes the fights tougher, which is better. I even, sometimes jump on the cuddy and lay into a group of soldiers, ahh the fun :D

Think you need to switch to the weapon beforehand, which is default number 2. Then sneak up and left click. Probably one of the most satisfying kills you can get. :D
 
I've arrived in Jerusalem.

Who are these dudes I see highlighted and wandering around in various locations?:-
