Another classic RJG thread derailment!

I love the new PoP style too.

It was alright, nice shiney graphics for one, but the combat - "quests" were, as said, mindnumbingly repetitive.

I wouldn't call it open world though, most of the areas are locked when you start, you go to a city, do the outlined quests, move onto the next city - thats not open world.

It would have been more open, and IMO a better game, if you could have chosen who to assasinate and when - that, and some sort of leveling system so fighting 20 guards actually had some benefit.

I agree though that PoP was a much better game. The combat system was awesome, great story line, decent graphics - and obviously Im a fan of the Daharka ^_^  I'm waiting eagerly for the next title.

as repetitive as it is (and it really is) it is worth the $40-50 that it goes for these days

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I should really rent Assassin's and see how I like it.

Assassins Creed has a wicked storyline. You can tell there has been a lot of effort put into it. I just read http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=175552&site=xbw which explains the ending in detail (spoilers obviously)
I didn't pick up on half of that stuff, but it is cool that it's in there.

Tightly designer environments built for fun and gameplay have their place. Just throwing a bunch of random sh*t around and letting people have their own fun isn't always the answer. I mean, Assassin's Creed has you do the same thing every bloody time: Climb up high to unlock more areas so you can climb up high and unlock more areas and now you can go and assassinate someone oh but first you have to do these handful of mini games and little quests over and over again.

Sands of Time > Assassin's Creed, in both story and gameplay.

I did only play until the end of the first assassination I had heard it get repetitive.

Ah so that's what the Assassin's Creed developers have been working on.

Open World > Linear imo

Haven't you seen the new Prince of Persia game?!

I'd play a bad open world Prince of Persia game over an actual Prince of Persia game any day.

You can get a 360 Pro bundle at GAME with Gears of War, Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed for $489 at GAME. That's basically a Pro for under $400 already. Anyone who turns their nose up at those three games doesn't deserve a 360.

Played all three, didn't like any of them. Two shooting games with a controller and a multiplayer fanbase of 12 years olds and a bad open world Prince of Persia game? Besides, if I wanted two of those games, I could get them better on PC, and the third one will probably have a PC release soon anyway.

I enjoyed AC but the other two I couldn't really get into.

Until I can be sure I'm getting the Falcon chipset with a HDMI port, I won't be buying one. I don't want a noisy, overheating POS, not even for that price.

Even with $50 extra that's still extremely cheap.
