Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed Will Be as Big as GTA

[Valkyrie101]

I must be the only person alive who absolutely loved Assassin's Creed 1. Unique premise, interesting story, great protagonist. And for everyone who whines that "it's repetitive" and then goes and plays the multiplayer of Call of Duty or Halo or whatever, look up "hypocrisy" in the dictionary. Assassins Creed 2 was even better, which I didn't think was actually possible. And now it looks like Brotherhood will come along and destroy the series with idiotic multiplayer. Face it guys, multiplayer does far more harm than good.

I loved it too, though I disagree on the protagonist; he was a bit bland. Technically the game does become repetitive, but you only needed to do two or three investigations per assassination, and they weren't exactly long or difficult. The game had plenty of flaws, like unskippable cutscenes, but it was still great. And then AC2 made it nearly perfect (apart from the escort missions).

I don't think multiplayer will destroy the series, but I have my doubs about how well it will be implemented. The whole premise of AC just wouldn't work very well with it, and it means diverting funding away from the simgle player.

Marketing, that's all it is. Don't feed the troll is what I'm trying to say, I guess. Except the troll here is a multinational company that likes to pretend that games actually matter in the grand scheme of things..

Well I know I definitely look forward to AC releases than GTA releases. Especially since GTA took their crappy serious route with 4, at least AC is staying consistent.

Well, they are failing enormously, I havent played the second one, but the first one was kinda meh.

Play the second one before you judge - its alot better.

What if I play the second and it's not good, what then? I need a guarantee that you will find this... erm... that the game will be good. Virtual pinky promise?

Well I can't promise you'll love this one (not knowing what you actually like in a game) but I personally found that AC2 fixed EVERY problem I had with AC1. The only 'bad' addition (imo) was making it so you can't leave the animus outside of specific story parts.

Hell, even Yahtzee acknowledged that it was basically AC1 done right, with a slightly botched money system; which will probably get the same level of makeover in Brotherhood or something.

Saying a game will be as big as games that are past their prime, isn't really impressive.

And I'm an xbox fanboy, so it hurt to admit that...

 

[Littaly]

It has the potential if they pull their act together. I can forgive the first Assassin's Creed since it was a bold new experiment, you can't expect everything to be perfect the first time. The second one I can cut some slack because they are still in the process of straightening the game up. But now I (we?) want to see the franchise move forward, don't just polish the game, evolve it!

 

[Upbeat Zombie]

While I do look forward to AC Brotherhood. I don't think the Assassin Creed series can appeal to as big of an audience as GTA or Halo.

 

[Starke]

I assume this is in the same realm of insanity that by 2013 every one is going to have a 3500$ 3D TV plus accessories.

It's the same guy, so that does kinda track...

A wha...? What does a pinky promise require of me if you find the game not to your tastes? Your pretty profile picture won't lully me into a false sense of security....

Anywho, on a serious note, whilst I liked Assassin's Creed 1, I didn't love it - Assassin's Creed 2, however, I loved enough to get nearly all the acheivements without actually 'achievement whoring' for them. if you're unsure, I do recommend you rent it and give it a shake.

 

[pha kin su pah]

it already feels about as entertaining as GTA4, i always feel like it becomes a chore trying to finish it.

This.
...Dont do this Ubisoft. DONT RUIN IT ALREADY, DAMMIT!
Now you know theyre going to milk the sh*t out of AC till it goes stale. And they'll keep on churning out spin offs and stuff. (TRIPLE COW RELATED PUN. alright it wasnt really a pun but it still had words related to cows.)

I didn't like the first one because of a bad experience. I got stuck... in the tutorial. That part where you have to go through people carrying vases. So I got stuck and didn't play that for like a month. So the next month I get past the tutorial, and then get stuck in the first boss. And I haven't played it since. Yes, I know what you're thinking...
