Assassins.Creed.PAL.X360-Allstars

[QuantumFluxx]

Nice. I'm at 90% on my usenet download for this. Still got about 13 DL discs left plus some memorex ones if I'm desperate. Just need to make sure I have enough for Mass Effect (4 discs O_O) and then I think thats it for the good 360 games this year, maybe Blacksite: Area 51 but thats up in the air. Next up after mass effect is gonna be Lost Odysee I think. Another 4 disc game. Glad I have unlimited bandwidth usage.

I just rushed to Staples to buy some discs for this, I'm inpatient as hell. I can't wait for it to finish (25% off of Usenet.)

This is one of those games that I know won't disappoint.

Looks very good, getting excellent reviews. It's a decent length too. 40 hours I think.

One thing a reviewer noted is you have to be patient while playing this game, it's not full on action.

40 hours?!?!?!?!?!?! maaaaa!
اي خدا

(i'm full of off topic!)

Yeah I've read that you have to be so patient and a lot of things are so time consuming(probably why it's 40 hours) that it actually makes it not fun.

So, I'm waiting to hear what everyone has to say about it.

My 360 RROD yesterday.

Bad timing, but I probably wouldn't have played it yet anyway, I've got a ton of games I need to complete before I start something else.

Hopefully Microsoft will take my 360 back.. The warranty sticker is a bit mangled though

towel trick ?

Where'd you hear that gonzo? I hope it isn't like that.

Here are some bits of reviews:


100/100
GamePro
It's hard to put the sheer size and brilliance of Assassin's Creed into words. It is an epic game that you have to experience for yourself. I will caution that the game is not for the impatient or the faint of heart. While you can plow through the main storyline in under 20 hours, to truly get every single last shred of gaming goodness, you will probably have to put in twice that number.

100/100
Games Radar
With its riveting story, beautiful visuals and surprisingly lifelike world, Assassin's Creed is an incredibly deep, enjoyable game that kept us addicted from beginning to bizarre end.


95/100
Game Informer
Its stunning visual style, high concept story, and wildly open level design are like nothing else, even if too much repetition begins to frustrate in the later hours. It’s a game people will still be talking about five years from now.

Hmm, so since the PAL is region free its almost 100% that the Asian version is region free??? If so im buying it for $56 Australian dollars

Nice, those are making me think I will probably give it a chance!

Here's the article that said that thing about it falling into realism so much it's "not fun"

PC VERSION NEXT YEAR!!!

Speaking of discs, how do you burn PS3 games? With those 50GB Bluray discs it seems like it would be a bitch, but good thing most games don't even go to a quarter of that, not to mention full =/

Don't think any ps3 games are using the 50gb discs yet. Not really relevant any way as there is no way to play em yet

I've got my pre-order for the game in. Picking it up on Thursday. Damn this wait

...oh wait, I have CoD4. Nevermind

 

[Gaisuto]

Oh this sucks. It was just about to finish downloading, but part 38 won't download off of Usenet for some reason.

Damn it, just ONE MORE PART!

 

[BoneMonkey]

im climbing up the walls like spider man

do i get other swords ?

 

[qusai]

DAMN YOU CRAPPY MEDIA!
I get to this one part after i get the horse and everytime i get to the loading area i get the error message about cleaning the disk. I'll have to pick up some verbatims tomorrow. stupid philips dls =(

Though so far the game is awesome, the free running couldn't feel better to use. some people were saying that there isn't a jump button in the game but there is, you hold the RT button and A and there you go, a jump! i got the hang of all the controls really quickly except for the combat, that's the only part that takes some getting used to, but when you do it's unbelievable.

I was worried that the side story with the scifi twist might ruin the game for me (i hate scifi games, movies.. i just hate the whole genre) but they couldn't have done it better. I can't wait to play more of this game when i get back from work tomorrow!

Great, now you're making me nervous because of the crappy filler discs I got in place of the Verbatim... :'(
It's finally burning now...
