its no more repetative or vacuous as Crackdown, but everyone seems to bang on about how good a game that is?

Crackdown does offer a lot more in terms of character progression.

I never bothered getting past the 4th assassination, it's more repetitive than college

I ordered it this morning, but after hearing the comments on here im holding my breath.

This game looks so cool, that im really quite sad that its getting such poor reviews

Indeed, sadly a lot of people bought it on looks alone....They are probably the ones that are most disappointed. I am glad I rented it as no matter how slick animations are, textures, AA, whatever, doesn't matter if the gameplay is repetitive.

Can anyone tell me a game that isn't repetitive?

Just got this as an FHM freebie.

Played it for 30-40 mins and quite frankly I wanted to snap the disc in half.

Cut Scene...Cut Scene....Wonder about for 5 secs....Cut Scene...Cut Scene....Stab someone.....Cut Scene...Cut Scene....Cut Scene...Cut Scene....Have a Sword Fight (slowly).......Cut Scene...Cut Scene....

Should I preserve, its bloody rubbish up to now.

On the plus side...nice angle on the story but not 100% on the presentation.

I'll give you a tenner for it.

Half Life 2, there are many ways to travel...apparently.

NokkonWud · 20 Dec 2007 at 05:28

Half-Life 2 is one of the most repetative games ever.

mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun, mavity Gun etc..

doesn't help that the cut scene "system" is so so poorly directed.

All games are repetative

blueshift · 20 Dec 2007 at 10:15

I think you have to have an interest in the period etc, its set in really

Surely that would make it the most inaccessible game ever!!! The setting was good tbh (and I'm not a serious History buff), its the gameplay people are criticising.

There's repetitive, And then No variation.

If that makes sense.

In a lot of games, You may be doing the basic things over and over again. With a makeover hiding the fact it's the same thing again.

But with Assassins creed, You really do just do the same thing over and over. Without anything hiding the fact.

i've got a copy on order withthe FHM deal, if its boring i still get FHM for a year and if its good i still get FHM for a year

I thought both the KOTOR games were repetative along with Fable, however I still played all of them through several times and they rate as some of my all time favorites.

Lateralus68 · 20 Dec 2007 at 14:48

Yes it's repetitive... indeed. But I still love it. I am about 3 quarters of the way through and I am finding it most enjoyable. Probably because I am taking my time with it and not rushing through. :cool:

wannabedamned · 20 Dec 2007 at 14:56

What I think we need is a Thief game designed using the Assassin creed Engine. That'd be awesome.

spoonz · 20 Dec 2007 at 16:39

im going to give it another few hours of my valuable time and see if it can win me round.

If not Im going to microwave it and post the video. Wasting my time! pffft
