6 Reasons Why Ass*ssin’s Creed Sucks
I’ve been playing video games for a long time, and there have been two categories I put my experiences into; games that suck, and games that don’t suck. Not all the games which I feel don’t suck are equal, for instance, Red Dead Redemption is a better experience than say, The Force Unleashed, but I still enjoy both games.
This was a system that worked consistently until 2007, when I played Ass*ssin’s Creed for the first time. Never, ever have I been so torn over whether I feel a game is good or bad. And what’s even more troubling to me is that the uneasy feelings I have for the first game, carry over with more or less the same the same potency to the two sequels it spawned, Ass*ssin’s Creed II (ACII), and Ass*ssin’s Creed: Brotherhood (ACB). Now Ubisoft Montreal has announced a fourth game in the works; Ass*ssin’s Creed: Revelations, so I feel I need to make a final decision. Ass*ssin’s Creed sucks, and here are the top six bits-o-beef I have with the series.
1. The duel-story is garbage: What made the first game so unique was the story; dude gets kidnapped and is forced to be plugged into a machine that makes him relive the actions of his *ss*ssin ancestors. That had never really been done before. And the VR machine he’s plugged into, the Animus, had this really cool way of blending sci-fi technology with a past life historical perspective. Even by the third game the effect hasn’t worn off on the player; it’s still really cool. But considering that the main plot of any game is the backbone of the entire story and experience, the fact that it’s so dull in Ass*ssin’s Creed is unforgivable. I don’t care that the main character is being kidnapped by secret organizations that want to control all of humanity, I just want to run off of buildings and kill stuff. Throughout the entire series, you probably have 100 hours of game play, and about 40 minutes of it involve some guy who’s kidnapped. Why couldn’t they just made it a game about killing people in ancient times?
2. The graphics are sub-par: Ass*ssin’s Creed is one of those epic experiences that feels like both a movie and a game. It’s in the same category of games like Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption, M*ss Effect, and L.A. Noir. But what Ass*ssin’s Creed lacks that all those other games have always had, are graphics that really immerse you into the overall experience. They aren’t terrible by any standard, but they aren’t rich and gorgeous either, and some of the cut-scenes are just atrocious. In ACB, there are some characters who, when they talk, it looks like their mouths are going to fall of the rest of their face. And there’s nothing really show stopping about the way the environments look either. There’s a ton of content, but it all looks second rate.
3. The characters are 2-dimensional: Again, like the rest of those games I just mentioned, Ass*ssin’s Creed should have characters that you really want to feel connected with, but the writing just isn’t there for things to be that way. And the characters from the “modern” part of the duel story are just awful, non-relatable cardboard cutouts of generic personalities, which again, makes me care even less about that part of the game.
4. The controls are dog sh*t: There’s no other way to put it; the controls in every Ass*ssin’s Creed game are the most confusing failures in all of modern gaming. I am convinced that Ass*ssin’s Creed is part of some evil conspiracy between Ubisoft and companies who make game controllers, to make people buy more of their product because the frustration during the game makes you smash all your controllers against the wall. I didn’t finish the first game because I broke all my controllers. I should have learned from this and not even bought ACII, but I did and I broke two PS3 controllers in the process. It’s not that the controls themselves don’t work, it’s that, since everything relies on you holding down a different set of buttons and everything in the game can be interacted with, you end up making the character do something that is NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU WANTED thousands of times, over and over. When I first got ACII, I broke the controller during the SECOND MISSION. That should have been a sign right there, but I plowed on through, until I was about 80% through the game, and I just kept bouncing off walls and falling to my death, or chasing after an enemy and instead mounted a horse and climbed a wall, until I eventually took the controller and slammed it into a brick wall until there was nothing left. And this is a shared experience that MANY people have had with the series. THAT IS NOT OK. Your game should not bring out intense and violent behavior in people.
5. The AI are all stupid: Many missions, especially in ACB, involve you protecting a friendly AI from guards while you try to make it to a check point. That sounds good, and it might be, if the AI weren’t so badly programmed that you can’t finish missions. You’ll be leading them away from an enemy, and they’ll get stuck in a crowd of people and move toward the guards and get noticed. Desynchronized. Or you’ll be moving towards the checkpoint only to discover that the target is still in battle mode, backed in a corner, even though all the enemies are dead. Or they fall in the water and can’t get back out. STUPID!
6. Overly difficult missions: There’s a fine line between very challenging game play and something that’s going to give you post traumatic stress disorder, and apparently Ubisoft doesn’t know where the boundary is. The fact that there are difficult missions is one thing, but add the aforementioned broken controls into the equation therein lies a recipe for failure and frustration that you will have to put yourself through over and over until you get it right. And there is no pattern with how these terrible missions progress. You’ll play a bunch of fun missions, then be forced to tackle a bunch of terrible ones, and then go back to fun missions, and then do terrible ones, and the cycle of hatred repeats itself. This is not the same thing as other games that are known for their frustration levels, Ninja Gaiden Black for instance. No, Ass*ssin’s Creed is just made up with a bunch of great experiences sprinkled with overly terrible ones, and it just destroys the overall fun of the game.
The worst part about all of this is all that could have been. Ass*ssin’s Creed has something that many games never have; the potential to be amazing. But what’s happened here is a cl*ssic case of a game developer who doesn’t listen to the fans. For instance, Dead Space was a great game, but Dead Space 2 is an even better one, and it’s because EA took what fans had to say about the first game into consideration during the production of the second. The Ass*ssin’s Creed experience could have been improved in ACII, and then into ACB, but it wasn’t. What pisses people off about the first game is right there in your face, four years later. And that’s why Ass*ssin’s Creed really sucks; so much good is ruined by so much bad gone ignored.

You lost all credibility when you said “I just want to run off buildings and kill stuff.” This isn’t a controversial opinion or any kind of good point. This is just a baby whining and crying because he sucks at *ss*ssin’s creed. In fact the writer’s guild of america awarded *ss*ssin’s creed brotherhood with the video game writing award for 2011. Obviously either you have no taste or have no cognitive clue as to what a good story is. The fact that you mention force unleashed as a good game in comparison is confusing because it applies to a few of your points GLARINGLY. Its been mentioned over and over again that Force has an extremely bad ai, poor targeting and controls, and a poor story that barely hold together through all of its plot holes. Its ok to not like a video game, but its not ok to put a horribly biased list like this together because your angry you couldn’t beat *ss*ssin’s creed 2. Can any hyperactive idiot write for this website?
One more thing, you have anger issues. Please see a psychologist or an anger management specialist before you hurt someone.
HAHA you don’t know what you’re talking about dude, this is totally non-sense.
1. The duel story is one of the most exciting things in *ss*ssin’s creed.
2. The graphics are AWESOME.
3. You feel connected with the characters, all of them.
4. The controls, when you ged used, are the most fluid controls I’ve ever seen
5. The A.I … There’s no game with as much A.I as AC with so much realistic reactions when you move next to them, hit them or push them.
6. The level of AC is excellent. it’s neither an easy game, nor a difficult one.
7. AC is THE game that gives an explication to why:
- you revive when you’re dead
- you can’t go to wherever you wan’t
-why there’s checkpoints
and everything that looks illogical in other games.
8. Everything is true, Nothing is permitted.
You guys are only saying these things because you are die hard fanboys of the game. I have to agree with the writer of this story.
While i must agree on some parts ( the guards AI is below stupid at times, the cut scenes are horribly animated and some parts are really difficult) i have one question : how the hell d’you manage to break your controllers ?!! For the complexity of commands that are available, I am complerly of Leonis opinion: the controls become intuitive and I didnt even have to think about which buttons to hit after a while!
Let’s address all the points logically in a non rational, non fan boy manner.
1. “The dual story is garbage.”
“I don’t care that the main character is being kidnapped by secret organizations that want to control all of humanity, I just want to run off of buildings and kill stuff.” this right here is the main point of your argument and makes it fall flat on it’s face. You don’t present any literary or logical reasons why the dual story is garbage, you simply prove that you individually don’t have the attention span for any story and would rather randomly kill people without wanting to know why. Also, as already pointed out, Ass*ssin’s Creed’s writing has garnered a couple of official awards for it’s writing and story.
2. “The graphics are sub-par.” I’m not entirely sure how you came up with this point. Granted, I will openly admit some of the finer details in the graphics are sacrificed, the Ass*ssin’s Creed games have never been about fine detail but instead grand scope. This is especially true in Brotherhood. The architecture and buildings of the game are some of the most amazing I’ve seen. Before you slam the graphics, try climbing to the top of a building overlooking a historical landmark in Rome at sunset, watching the fading rays of light and the dozens or hundreds of people scurrying around. Those are good graphics.
3. “The characters are 2-dimensional” Again you provide no evidence why the characters are two dimensional, you simply state that they are without any support for the argument. Again I point out that Ass*ssin’s Creed received awards for it’s writing, which involves the characters. In addition, the transformation Ezio undergoes in Ass*ssin’s Creed II from hot headed vengeful teenager to collected Master Ass*ssin has been praised as one of the best character stories in a video game.
4. T”he controls are dog sh*t” Some control schemes may be more difficult to pick up than others, but in the end all control schemes can be learned sooner or later. I find the Ass*ssin’s Creed controls to be relatively intuitive after a small learning curve. However what makes your argument breakdown and actually worries me in general is the fact that you have broken multiple controllers over simple difficulties mastering the control scheme. If you honestly get so upset that you dropped off the side of a building, you may want to try not playing that game or perhaps seeking some professional help.
5. “The AI are stupid” In Ass*ssin’s Creed and in every other game I’ve ever played, I’ve seen examples of brilliant AI’s and examples of AI’s that are simply bugging or glitching out. Stupid AI moments happen in every game I’ve played. And I don’t seem to have had the trouble you’ve had in Ass*ssin’s Creed. So either you seem to have an incomplete game disc or perhaps you may be exaggerating the problems you find with the game due to your dislike of it.
6. “Overly difficult missions.” Since this argument is already based on your disagreement with the controls, I’m going to take what you say with a grain of salt already. I’ve never found any of the missions in the Ass*ssin’s Creed games to be impossibly difficult. If I failed a mission, I simply examined what I did wrong and tried something else. Usually this resulted in a victory. The only real difficulties I’ve experienced have been from the full synchronization challenges in Brotherhood, and I found those to be delightfully new ways to play the game and challenge myself as a player, not something to condemn.
Lol the other people the are bashing this article are bashing it out of opinion…. This article isnt scientific proof that the game is terrible it’s and OPINION. An opinion that I gree with, Ass*ssins creed has a great story line and thats the only thing that keeps me on these games…Other than that because of the controls i would have thrown the game right out the window ages ago. and that Ezio person is one to talk about credibiltly he lost all his credibilty by making his name Ezio in the first place.
Dude this game was easy you probably just suck
i found the controls hard too until i got used too it but you don’t need to smash your controller, thats over reacting and its wasting you money, you may have issues.
I do agree with you on alot of things though, especially the duel story. I wouldn’t say all i want to do is jump of buildings and kill stuff but i couldnt care less about desmonds storyline. Its like ubisoft are trying to give us a reason as to why we play as ezio and altiar when we dont need one.
And the difficult missions, i dont find them too difficult. But what annoys me is the guards when im not on a mission. Im not notourius and the guards arent looking for me, I try to free run and accidentally knock a jar out of somebodys hands. Suddenly about 50 templars descend with thier swords and horses trying to kill me. Brotherhood helped because you could call for *ssasins but even then i died over 50 percent of the time.
man *ss*ssins creed doesn’t suck, you just hate yourself cuz ur a templar
The plot stupid game is stupid a guy in broad daylight wearing a white robe so
he stand’s out and he completely dressed different than every one else an he is supposed to be some kind of *ss*ssin he has eagle vision and can jump across a building a mile long nonsense this game is horrible animated s*x scene’s repetitive action masonic symbol’s and a fake deep story line one after another the game are the same with a horrible fake accent
you dumb nigger dont ever f*cking write again go f*cking play runscape if u want a easy game b*tch *ss faggot
Yeah, the game sucks. It’s so boring I can’t even finish it. Thank god I didn’t waste my money on it when it first came out like all those dipsh*ts who must have everything first.
you sir should go choke on your own d*ck, and play COD. If you think the game is hard, then you have to be retarded. Moreover, you are clearly not able to understand symbolism, or any other storytelling strategy. So go play the same dumb-minded, childish multiplayer in COD. Keep in mind though, you will never be able to pull any of the dumb sh*t you want to do, in real life, even the armed forces of this country want people who can point the gun and be brainwashed. Sadly, you are too stupid to do those tasks, go rot in your mothers basem*nt along with all your “hardcore” p*ssys.
I have to say ur just the dumbest person ALIVE all what u said is totally wrong the story is just amazing the graphic’s is even better,the controls is very easy u’ll get used to them so fast but I think ur retarded thats y u think they’re hard, missions are easy too and very exciting and fun to play but ur an ASShole and all other haters should go suck ceaser’s d*ck!.*ss*ssins creed game is the best game ever made!
Let me make a few points about the upcoming game, AC Revelations.
Graphics-Awesome this time round
Storyline-No more dull kidnapped guy story, Mr AC sucks. This time you’re guy is in a darned coma land where he can do stuff instead of sleeping on a VR bed.
Controls-Are you joking? Even the original games made it clear what the controls are and how they respond, eg tap, hold, release!
I have to say that I can’t get past the part where Robert has you fight about 12 people, and ‘Let God decide’. I get down to fighting the final guy and don’t have anything left. I went online and stubled across this… The difficulty of this was way out of proportion to the rest of the game.
Totally agree to point number 4 which is why I have returned the game to the person who let me borrow it. Thankful to know people that waste their money so I don’t have to.
I agree with some of it, but the controls are as simple as 2+2 if you have a problem with them then you must be MR… Also you saying its a difficult game…. Um dude I was kinda upset that it was to easy, ya there was a few missions I had to do more than once but it was still easy…. And it got so much easier in 2 and brotherhood. The only time I remember dying in brotherhood was when I forgot to buy more parachutes so I jumped and died the other time I was bored and wanted to see how long it took the Guard to kill you… Which is to long… Hint to easy…. I’m sorry but you sound like an idiot.
The *ss*ssin’s creed games would be so much better if it would be more like a hitman game, it’s to scripted and boring.
Well – I like the other installments but I have to say Ass*ssin’s Creed Revelations really SUCKS! and BLOWS CHUNKS! At least by comparison to Ass*ssin’s Creed Brotherhood that was a masterpiece of fluidity – forget the plot it’s an action game for pete’s sakes!
All of you nigger fanboys are getting all butthurt at this article. HA! How amusing, c*ck suckers.
Get a life you fanboy faggots.
Ass*ssin’s Creed has an engaging story with believable characters and a cool premise. The controls take a bit to get used to and do work on your right hand but really you have to look in the perspective of the Dev’s. They’re trying to create a system that covers every possibility in a dynamic world. Think of all the work that went into just getting free-running to perform as flawlessly as it does. (Mostly flawless)
The story really isn’t that far out there as far as believability and fiction goes. It’s written like a Michael Crichton book; all the fiction is backed up by some sort of factual base. This is what makes it so awesome. A lot of it seems like it could actually happen. There are real people out there right now that believe that before us there was an advanced civilization. That Templars are conspiring and controlling the world in the backround. People really believe this sh*t, and that’s what makes this game so interesting. All of it fits in to place. If there’s plotholes it’s just because they put it there on purpose and they haven’t explained it yet.
This is why just running around as an Ass*ssin killing people is inferior. It’s too samey. The past storyline if it stood alone would be absolutely nothing new to the gaming industry as far as story goes. It’s good, just not amazing.
TL;DR There’s legit reasons to praise the effort put into Ass*ssin’s Creed. Some people just connect to it better than others. Don’t say a game sucks just because it isn’t your cup of tea.
Dreamcast pushes better graphics than this sh*t. Play Shenmue, it has an awesome story, better graphics, better gameplay etc. I know they aren’t the same genre or whatever, I just love Shenmue and everyone who hasn’t played it is a d*ck.
And yes ASSASINGSCREEDISBAD, everyone who likes this game is a NIGGER.
Ok well who ever made this webpage should be shot dead in the face because this was the best games i ever played and I have played a lot on games in the last 6 years so I am guessing you suck big d*ck at Ass*ssin’s Creed games so how about you call f*cking cry about it on Call of Duty you piece of sh*t and stop sitting on your couch playing with yourself and go get a life because all you do is hate on this game so why don’t you just FUCK OFF!
Just rented *ss*ssins creed revelations and have never played the series before. I don’t care for it, this is why.
Limited in what you can do. Can not explore or kill the way you want. Just direct character in the defined steps that you MUST direct character through to progress. It is basically a story with you pushing the controls like a “simon says” game.
Controls are crap, challenging those with even a high threshold for mediocrity.
I am simply not interested in a game that has me hanging on the back of a horse carriage, getting drug over rocks, watching my life bar go down, with little control over weather or not I hit the rocks. Same for the carriage scene where some programmer thought it would be fun to have the player control an extremely slow and uncontrollable carriage with a sh*t-ton of sway, attempting to avoid almost unavoidable rocks that destroy your life faster than you can blink (initiating a 20 second reload screen upon death), while at the same time attempting to smash this other *sshole’s carriage, which is apparently invincible.
That’s where I gave up and said f*ck this game. No strategy, no player creativity, just the opportunity to play simon says with a defunct control system. Hell there is hardly any fighting anyhow.
Why on earth would you play revelations if you haven’t played the first three. You are aware there’s a story involved in this game??
I haven’t played revelations yet but i am huge fan of the Ass*ssin Series. The story is simply amazing. The first game became to repetitive but the story was still freaking awesome. Ass*ssins Creed 2 completely upgrade everything and the scenery was beautiful, same with Brotherhood. I found the controls easy and the only thing to me that did suck was the stupid camera angels that came up when you tried to jump to a ledge or involved in a chase.
But besides that i think it’s an excellent series so far. But your opinion is noted but i honestly think you just don’t know how to play the game.
“Not all the games which I feel don’t suck are equal, for instance, Red Dead Redemption is a better experience than say, The Force Unleashed, but I still enjoy both games.”
Force Unleashed? So with in two sentences we can establish that your an idiot. No need to read anymore of your jibberish.
and too add, if you find Ass*ssn Creed hard in anyway shape or form you are bad at games. You have been playing game for a long time? Well stop you suck hard at them, obviously.
this is stupid, *ss*ssin’s creed is a great game, and the sales figures and awards prove it, those who hate the game are probably CounterStrike and COD fanboys who believe gaming should be all about “killing stuff” and anything with depth and dimension sucks
The level of f*cktards over 9000. Plain to fanfags the story after the brotherhood sucks. While in other made sense because the conspiracy about the famous Templar was about mostly about jews, and most famously after jews influence in roman empire and post roman empire the new influence on the empire of anglosaxons. Templar’s have known to be created the order of Masonry and have financial leverage all over EUROPE, from the Spain Portugal Itly to the famous France to UK and in Scotland the famous Scottish Knights Templar to the Swiss [bankers] and their global dominance in FINANCE and economy to thew new world america. Adam Smith written in 1776: “A great empire has been established for the sole purpose of raising up a nation of customers… it cannot be very difficult to determine who have been the contrivers of this whole mercantile system; not the consumers, we may believe, whose interest has been entirely neglected; but the producers, whose interest has been so carefully attended to.”
If the game develops on the second part of roman empire the new Orthodox world and the post Byzantium , what f* the ottoman empire was filled with Jews and Khazars. For those who have heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Templar
Free manisory was at large among ottomans and than turks.

The most famous link with kemal ata turk after post ottoman empire:
http://www.yursil.com/blog/2008/12/freemasonry-ottomans-cambridge-journal/
There are more conspiracies of ottoman empire was heavy influenced by orders set by the same and created by it:
http://www.seattlescottishrite.org/newsletter/History%20of%20Turkish%20Masonry1.pdf So why would enzio story end up aiding another faction that did absolutely the same thing and even worst. They run of the ideas and run in some retarded ideas *ss*ssin joining ottoman hashashins and working for ottomans. The most retarded serie, I laughed over when enzio was fighting the same people and organizations alike he joined them.
@WTFITS
It’s Ezio, not Enzio, the story ISNT REAL, ITS A STORY! If you want to talk history with me…. The Hashashin Order died in Syria towards the end of the 3rd Crusade around 1275, the rest of the story has a historical background, its not meant to emulate exactly what happened, and as for the things beyond brotherhood, its not real, ITS A FRIKKIN STORY!!! The complaint was that the story was not good, not that the story was not accurate, the story was never meant to be accurate, so please f*ck yourself, this is just clarifying what you said, *ss*ssins creed series rocks, the sales figures and awards prove it.
this sh*t will end up like the TV show LOST…
there was 3 or 4 cities in the first AC now there’s only istanbul. the character were all lame and the dialogues don’t make sense anymore.
When the sh*t was about to start, BAM, the END, sucked.
the next one is going to play in Egypt so they better show me the FUCKING LABYRINTH inside the FUCKING SPHYNX, better dont screw it or get ready for some voodoo cancer!
I liked all ACs but revelations was by far the lamest. they didn’t make an effort to make it good. might be ubisoft putting fire on their *ss to release sh*t every 6 months, SUCKERS!!!!
Of allt he AC games I have played, relevations was the best. Why?
Because the story has been built up so much the past 2 games that everything is exciting. And the end of relevations gave me goosebumps. They have only improved and improved the gameplay, what you are able to do and so on
And the f*cking history behidn this sh*t. All the stuff they have taken from real history, how detailed they have been in making the maps etc. Incredible
And this is an originall game. sicksicksick
and the controlls are the best when you get used to them. The game is hard, but why the f*ck play something that is easy as hell and gives you no challenge? where the f*ck is the fun in that.
The character are all freakin’ awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MADDAFAKKA BEST GAME EVER J!#JTOGJDOgmdlpsgk b*tches
First of all, no one should play the series randomly, rather they should follow the order numerically to understand the storyline, which is shockingly great and once it absorbs you in, you wont feel much of a problem (unless you are a novice at gaming).
Secondly, its very possible to have different preferences, which in some case requires blood and gore and unnecessary killings. Those people (not gamers) should stick to FPS type games.
And lastly, at the writer of this review, don’t play a game only to write a review on it. It makes you more a critic than a gamer. And in your case you suck at both, probably more at gaming.
This was the worst AC yet. Why? They did exactly what the latest Call of Duty did, and re-used its stale gameplay, meager graphics and a convoluted storyline.
The whole Desmond side of the game was completely retarded aswell. A island. Inside the animus. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Dumbsh*t fanboys THINK the story is good, because something complex and imcomprehensible must be a work of complete literary genius.
@REVELATIONSISSHIT
I’m not a fanboy, dont label me as such… and i agree that the revelations storyline isnt as exciting as the 2nd and 3rd game, nor are the graphics a huge leap forward, especially considering there are games like battlefield 3 around right now… but you have to agree that the broad storyline stretching across the series and how it touches across offering nearly believable explanations for many historical characters and events is quite impressive. I’m a game critic for IGN, so i cant afford to be biased or a “fanboy” and lose my job
Are you kidding me, you sound so retarded it is not even funny yeah its so 2d and the controls are dog sh*t are you f*ckin kidding me ill bet you still play nintendo wii, jack*ss the storyline was amazing you are sh*t enough said
Everyone who thinks this game sucks is f*cking retarded
Okay you all are retarted if you think the graphics are bad cause some of the cutscenes look video tape the controls are easy he story line is amazing switching through characters and combining characters were awesome you obviously have no idea what a good game is
Hey,you, moron, the *ss*ssin’s creed games are the best!!!I’m not a fan, or anything, but I really liked to play the four games.You probably said these six issues only because you didn’t understand the jogabillity and the plot of the games.Either way, by your commentary, you should be a terrible gamer.I have an idea, why don’t you play PACMAN, or Pong, tisk… tisk….
Take that Chicken sh*t!!!
Ass*ssin’s creed 1 was alright if not slightly boring
Ass*ssin’s creed 2 was amazing
Ass*ssin’s creed Brotherhood was not as great as AC2 but still good
Ass*ssin’s creed Revelation was cool too.
You people go ahead and fight online in a verbal battle, its fun watching nerds fight.
I f*cking hate these games, I find them so offensive. The entire ordeal about killing Templars is enough to anger me. I have a few family members that are in the Knights Templar(yeah they are still around) and Imagine how many people play this game and *ssume that the storyline is 100% true. It isn’t like Templars are under enough theories already DX And the graphics do suck as well, I expected much more out of a PS3 game. Keep writing these things dude, maybe the truth will hit some of these people like a ton of bricks!!
I agree witht the writer. Ive been gaming for almost 2 decades and i categorize games into 2 or 3 where I have to. Those u crave to open and play, and those u dont. This is not about playing skills as much as its ambience. When i played AC for the first time, it lasted 2 hours, and i never looked at it again. it sucks. the AI are so retarded even quake2 AI is better off. The game lacks soul, which for reference oblivion has. It completely immerses one into the game. Who the heck came up with sci fi machines and ancient cities, what a bunch of balony. . it RUINED the whole atmosphere the game had left after its RETARDED AI.
“its never been done before…” – WHO CARES!! Noone has created a game involving exploding pancakes and fat women – THAT DOESNT MEAN ITS GOOD!
*** Bunch of newbs who ditch this auth, go and buy a 3 pack of Halo trash, and they’ll prob toss in a copy of LOTR1 for u types – u have trash taste and FAIL to see the clarity of quality vs waste of money. I vote for this auth – he knows what hes talking about.. folks like him shd be game designers – not like u bunch of lame counter-critics!
3 best games:
Borderlands
Oblivion
Skyrim
kelso ….knight templars is a b*tch…..they like to steal people things…hahahah weaksauce…..f*ck…and 1 thing robert de sable is a b*tch…he is a grand master of b*tch….ahhahah
I haven’t played the game on Xbox or PS2/3 i dont know on what platform it is and i dont care .
I need to say 1 thing the game is good , story is fine , I kinda lost some respect of the games after the 1st because of the guns introduced it them ( I’d prefer no guns just bows and swords etc. stuff ).
As for graphics … guys from a programmers point of view graphics age good , modeling is fine it’s just they decided to spare some DETAILS because if they make it to detailed it’ll be useless since most people that play it on Xbox or PS just don’t know what resolution their TV uses guys if you play a very detailed game in resolution less than 1366 x 1080 it’s useless, you don’t see ( more like you can’t realize you see) say 5 fragments of the graphics (called polygons) ,because you really see less than 3 maybe even 1 fragment, so if it’s not a platform for a high resolution TV or monitor ( in my case ) it’s pointless to try make it extraordinary in aspect of details ( i played it at 1920×1200 looks VERY good ),but some TV’s ( mine ) goes at 800×600 resolution so even if it’s very detailed I’d still see it like say Resident evil 5 .
I can’t argue about controls because i played it on PC but i have to say the PC controls suck i mean you hold like 3 buttons and just watch the actions of climbing go on ,on their own, like if you want to climb something hold down right mouse button , space and W and just watch Ezio going over say a tower in like 20 sec on his own .
As for the game being difficult … uhh it’s the most easy game i’ve ever finished on hard mode all fights are just get in defensive stance and press 1 button if someone wants to hit you so i didn’t even need to use any of the stealth options if i didn’t want to i just go and kill about 50 guards in a raw losing say 1 bar from the synch bars . So to summarize battles are easy climbing is easy graphics are good story is fine ,so generally the game is fine.
Oh about the AI .. well it would be nice for a change if more than 1 guy at a time decided to hit you it’s always 1 attack the rest watch.
PS : tracking missions are extremely easy just get somewhere higher than the guy ( it’s never a woman … hope they get the idea of adding some women in the game for a change interacting with guys only is sort of annoying at some times ( courtesans aren’t included as interaction since you use them only if you want and they dont interact with you in return …just walk )).
So game is good AI could be better but if you consider it’s a game and not real life experience i say ubisoft and the rest of who made the game did a good job .
I must say I dont know what more pathetic, this writers article ore the readers comments. i mean really is everyone 12 here?
The AC franchise is a great one. From Ac to ACR Ass*ssins Creed has brought a multitude of new and exciting things to todays gaming. AS far as its controls being “dog sh*t”, poor way to word it my friend, the controls are meant to feel more fluid and fitting. Now people who play first person shooters will not understand them. Which is obviously what you play.
the AI is meant to frustrate you. thats what makes it so good. They are programmed to act and think like a real person would if they where in that sort of situation. If they run its because you would to if they fight its because you would fight.
Now for where you just make no sense. The graphics for *ss*ssins creed are some of the best ever done. Ass*ssins Creed has won countles VGAs for there graphics. they look *ss if you are in a movie. notice i said in and not watching thats how rich and captivating they are. and as far as 2d you obviously dont know what ur talking about.
Now to address the readers and cmmnts. Have you no shame or life. Saying things like fanboy nigger and c*ck suckers makes you sound… retarded and moronic.
I very much like Ass*ssin’s Creed, but there two things about the series i loathe with p*ssion.
First is chariot sequences, those things suck and yet they keep cramming it in there… in ACR they even put that crap right when you are getting started… Awful, just awful…
The second one is Desmond, on this point i agree with the article the game doesn’t need him, he is just a waste of time while we could be doing fun stuff as Ezio or Altair… you know, the things that don’t involve piloting a freaking chariot (still pissed).
its funny cuz my 10yr old nephew can beat these games. Also I agree that in Brotherhood the look is toned down but that game wasn’t in development as long as AC or AC2 and its a big game. In my opinion the controls were some of the most simple and enjoyable I’ve encountered.
youre a f*cking gandu
bloody louda these games rock
do any of you realize he’s probably joking. hes writing about the complete opposite of what *ss*ssins creed really is. the complete opposite.
This game was so crappy when I got it, the most reason, I believe, is that the concept, the thrill, and the adrenaline are all missing in this game
You just want to run off buildings n’ kill stuff? So basically what you’re saying is you don’t like video games with a story, a point to them. Also you must be the biggest noob in the world the Ass*ssin’s Creed games are one of the, hell THE easiest games i’ve ever played. And i’ve played 100′s of games… Oh, and i think you might have quite serious anger problems. Anyways i know you’re just wrighting this to get attention n’ piss people off, you probably love AC… Too bad u r a noob Ha ha!
Everybody who says “this game sucks” is either a troll, 12 year old COD fanboy, or a douchebag.
However, you could simply say “I don’t like this game” and get off without looking like a complete dumb*ss. Don’t say a game totally sucks because you don’t like to play it. Save that for sh*t like MW3 and BF3. This “reviewer” is nothing more than a sad nitpicking little b*tch who’s just mad ’cause he can’t play AC. Go back to your sh*tty repetitive shoot-em-up FPS games, you faggot. HAHA!
Lawl, how is.*ss*ssins creed hard, i finished the game and was barely hit. Also you say the controls are to hard for YOU, really? just freaking counter…
In the beginning you say that you are an experienced gamer, jow can an experienced gam fail in ac? If i look at your other garbage stories i see that you are an bethesda hater, you have a storie called 5 reasons why skyrim sucks of wich 1 is valid…
HATER GONNA HATE
i think i lost my interest in *ss*ssins creed after playing revelations !
”
i mean why do i have to travel from this part of the map to the extreme other opposite part just by jumping between buildings ! :O ok i can use those tunnels but i just hate the loading screen ! RUN RUN RUN (a never ending running, which of course ends when the game is loaded) but i just hate it !
the characters are ummm stupid, in clear words…. I dont want to see ezio as an old man and most importantly the story is getting boring ! you have to agree ! well if people say that revelations is the best in the ac series then i would just say to them please play brotherhood and *ss*ssins creed 2 again because you are having “memory loss” and umm one more question i would like to ask the game developers\creators … “if altair saw the future then why did he create a 16th century gun when he could have created a m4a1 or ak47 or any kind of modern gun, i think they are more accurate and s*xy too
There are *ss*ssins, and then there are dreamers. If you want to dream, play a superhero movie (mmm like the many many that are out there). If you like realism, play AC like an *ss*ssin – as in try to dodge, hide, counter etc. The writer is a dreamer and there’s np with that – but if you want to enjoy games like AC, play them like the writer / programmer intended and don’t b*tch about sucking at video games (i’m sorry but all of the AC games are like THE easiest games ever. the only reason im taking awhile to get through revelations is because i want to unlock everything / enjoy it – brotherhood i went as fast as possible and didnt die once / have any problem with missions)
1#……..using the word nigger doesn’t make you bad…it makes you dumb as sh*t. That word means ignorant because that’s what the owner of this post is and his retarded croonies are. Ass*ssinations creed has actual history behind the story, didn’t say the whole story was true. Landmarks yah they actually went to these places to create the maps. And so what if they game glitches, all games do you Fu*cing dipsh*ts. Im a female and can out play most males on games and you…are a crybaby….plain and simple. @Samantha stfu dumb bit*ch you can’t play games either. Ill toss you out a window ho. Most of the x creed fans are dumb like box of rocks dumb. Its ok if you are supposedly a man and lack gaming skills, keep jacking off because you most likely can’t do that right. Keep the retard post going. You dont have to like certain games the fact you made a website bashing a game that’s gotten awards shows you lack brains as much as you do balls. You have serious problems if you blame a game for your anger issues you immature troll. And get some gl*sses lmao @ 2d comment in list of reasons of why you hate creed. Oh and go play angry birds you pitiful little boy.

I just hate the fact that the game makes you do races, steal, and sh*t like that. That crap is stupid and pointless but everything else I liked.
Never played it…watched someone play it though…and the last thing I thought was “Ass*ssin”
Wooow, all your reasons aren’t valid, to be honest. These are just YOUR opinions. How many people think will agree with you or think like you about ACR? Not many, I can tell you that already. You’re just being a hater. And haters gonna hate. 6 reasons on why YOU think Ass*ssin’s Creed Revelations sucks, is totally you. I’m sure a lot of people oppose of this post. If you had made Ass*ssin’s Creed… I probably wouldn’t play it, because you’d probably make it a shooter like everything else is nowadays. Ass*ssin’s Creed is fine the way the creators make it. You only judging it with 6 reasons is like trying to take on the whole world. It just doesn’t work. Sure some of people may not like Ass*ssin’s Creed… But the majority of people love Ass*ssin’s Creed series.
Stop hating on something you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Sure, it’s freedom of speech or whatever… But criticizing a great game, is pretty much criticizing the whole series. Think about what you’re gonna post next time before you post half-*ss reasons.
Wow man u rely have no taste on games do u. None of your reasoning is true. Maybe you should think before you post next time. Nobody agrees with you.
This must be some sort of psychological test or something, just to see how much a dumb-*ss post pisses people off. Noone in their right mind would write and post something like this and then leave an option to reply to it -.-
@first time Player *ss-crap
If you had the attention Span to play through that entire level,
Then you get to the free roam Part. The last carrage ( bald mean guy, if. I remember correctly)
You don’t even have to touch yOu just survive long enough for the cut scene to take over.
I think revelations sucked but not because of any of the reasons you listed.
people are f*cking dumb the game sucks i havent beaten the game once because of how dumb the developers are they make missions uncompletable if u dont agree then u f*cking suck u p*ssyies
f*ck u URE A PITTIFUL LITTLE BOY
YOU ARE A DUMB WHORE U BITCH!
i bought the game but i don’t like it. it doesnt fit in my Atari 2600 so i cant play /:
I’ve seen nothin’ but boredom in this game should I say?
The whole story behind Assasins Creed is stupid, rediculous and historically bullsh*t. The whole templar thing is just hyped up rubbish, why coundn’t they just make an *ssasination game with a good historical setting.
The whole Byzantine – Templar alliance in Revelations really just points out how shallow the series is. Anyone with knowlege would know the Byzantines would never ally with Western Catholics or a defunct Knightly order that was disbanded. The fourth crusade would have been a much better setting.
Lastly all the games are the same, the only improvements in Revelations was a hook so you could scratch your d*ck and a half *ssed Constantinople which didn’t include half of the city.
Ubisoft have a good concept but they just ran with it too far. The story gets more bullsh*t with each game and the improvments are lacking. And now the Ameriacn revolution, thats just lame. I wonder how they can fit their whole *ssasin/ templar war into a revolt by americans who were being taxed too much for importing tea.
Ubisoft lack creativity and imagination

First off I wanna say that the whole byzantine-templar alliance is ridiculous! The byzantine empire would never have allied with the western christians! They hated eachother and do not see the pope as holy! If u read up on history u will know that the western christians betrayed the greek orthodox byzanytines to the ottoman turks! The ottoman turks were one of the most barbaric civilizations in history! How can you lot make out they were cultured and friendly to all races! That’s propsterous! Also, the game isn’t explained enuff, it doesn’t have enuff meaning, all this fighting and killing to stop the templars.. Why? What the hell is it for? Control of the apple of eden? I duno, somehow the game lacks something. I think they shud make the next game set in renaisance medieval england or the mayan years! Maybe somehow go back in time even more! Or the greek revolution with lord byron, that’s a pretty cool theme. Or maybe christopher colombus discovering america!
The guy is right about the controls, it’s really really ASS. Comparing it to an FPS is unfair as the controls are much simpler, so to give another stealth game as an example, Hitman 4, Splinter Cell series (I’m talking controls) both allow you to do exactly what you want. Ass Creed isn’t hard, I thought most of it was too easy, but the hardest parts were only hard because of the awful control scheme. I’ve been watching some videos on youtube of the best players in the world, and it’s even obvious that they have problems, running is a huge problem, I find that whenever I enter high profile my character just goes wherever it feels like going 50% of the time. I disagree about graphics and story, but you’re 100% right about control.
test
Anyone saying this is unhistorical is an idiot. Before the game even launches there is a message saying something around the lines of “This work of fiction is based on real and fictional events. The team that created is made up of varying religious beliefs and backgrounds.” So obviously it’s not historically perfect. But there are some real people in it. (Sulieman for example.) And Ass*ssin’s Creed controls are simple to remember unless you are such a COD fanboy that insists on using those controls. Finally, this whole game series is BASED on the life of Desmond Miles not Altair or Ezio. Learn the background of the game first.
hmmm , The guy got some points , but also , i wouldn’t even give this article a 50% , Because simply , this Article made no sense AT ALL. anyhow those who hate on people who love the game , kiss my Ass Bastardos , cya.
FUCK OFF EZIO , nobody wants or needs your sales pitch, now go kill your mama and yourself
No the controls are not “FLUID” better yet your “stupid”
And this game is a POS that is mostly schematically that lacks any replay value, now take your mouth with this game and go to h%LL
the missions are to not to hard they are challenging, when i first played it i found it too hard but i learnt to play the game as did everyone else
*bob, most of the stuff in the game is conspiricies, even giovanni auditore was real, all the deaths in the game are al deaths inwhich noone knows how they died and one of the conspiricies is that *ss*ssins killed them.
Ass*ssin’s Creed is a vastly overrated game that panders to the Newb Generation.
The whole sci-fi twist was a terrible idea to begin with. If they would have created an interesting non-stock main character, set it in the actual time period, and given it an epic historical feel this series could have really been something.
I have no quarrels with the gameplay, the controls, the gfx, or the difficulty (anyone who thinks these games are even remotely difficult must be a terrible gamer)
What I do have a problem with is a terrible main character amplified by a third rate story, even for a video game. To defend AC’s story is to admit to having never read a single piece of even mediocre literature.
AC’s story and characters are dogsh*t, but the gameplay is really enjoyable. I love the climbing, the swordplay, the free running, and just about everything else that the AC games have to offer, so why do I hate it so much?
YOU CANT SKIP THE MOTHER FUCKING CUTSCENES. 4 GAMES INTO THE FRANCHISE AND I CANT SKIP A MOTHER FUCKING CUTSCENE? NOT EVEN AFTER I BEAT THE GAME? WHAT THE FUCK UBISOFT? WHAT. THE. FUCK.
One more thing, they are releasing these games so fast that you cannot tell me that the franchise has a nickel’s worth of value with each new installment. Good games don’t take months to make, they take years. Period.
Let me skip the HORRIBLE cutscenes and I’ll show you a decent action title.
lol *ssasins creed sucks!
i like the first one a little bit, but i was heartbroken when after 2 years of waiting there was no crossbow, ubisoft are tards anyway
The duel-story is garbage
–I absolutely love the story, but that is just my opinion. Though Ubisoft is at least attempting to make original plots rather than just using a super soldier, nature vs. machine or space marine cliches.
The graphics are sub-par
–There are a few bugs in the animation and in the expressions, but overall the graphics are top-notch. Plus the environments are easily some of the most gorgeous out there.
The characters are 2-dimensional
–The characters are far deeper than most of the games out there. The games have consistently been building up the characters personalities and back-stories.
The controls are dog sh*t
–Just learn how to play the game. The controls register perfectly fine and its your fault if you’re jumping off buildings. And stop breaking just because you suck at the game.
The AI are all stupid
–True for most of fighting AI, but the normal AI responses to your action take the games immersion to a whole different level.
Overly difficult missions
–Seriously? The missions are easy, with the only even remotely parts being some of the 100% synchs.
@THESTORYSUCKS The ‘Newb Generation’. I guess I can agree with that to an extent, but Ass*ssin’s Creed should in no way be lumped together with COD and Madden (the defining games of this generation).
You can skip the cutscenes. Just go to the pause screen.
the graphics on ac2 are not amazing but there still pretty good
the story line is f*ucking amazing,
i’ve had the game for a while now and I do run up the occasional wrong wall but there still pretty good controls. But breaking the controller is just dumb
If you just wanna kill some people just play cod instead.
I am finding it a bit difficult to kill ceaser in acb but apart from that the game is easy.
But I will agree with you that the AI are stupid and there missions are rubbish and the characters are very connectible.
This article is retarded. Nuff said.
you retard person, the game was easy and awesome with the best controls, the only problem was the repetition of same missions
Assasins Creed is about as original as call of duty is. A re release of each game. The overall plot is an episode of ancient aliens basically which killed the plot in the second from a cool scifi theme where I guy is uncovering a religious historical conspiracy.. Objectives are rehashed to fight these people, hide in this crowd, kill this guy oh wait he has guards dont let them see you, free run. Granted *ss*ssinations and brushing past and into crowds is sweet but there is a huge lack of control when your jumping off a building if executed wrong. Characters are boring a worthless in both lines people just ignore it because of bad*ss enzio. Admittedly I liked Leonardo but it was a poor attempt to add new mechanics to the game shooting and flying which overall were just wastes. There really is little variation in distractions as it always amounts to hire these people or throw money or smoke bomb which is all often to generic in these series. Combat is mediocre though that fact is set aside because I like death animations and it is a stealth game. Maps are all pretty much the same with no real curve balls to through you off besides a random river, taller building, or just if your wandering outside. I’m banking on ac3 being a good change and a better game but for as cool as ac2 started by the end i was rising through just to beat it and not die of boredom.
Most of the comments on here are just as bad as the post. Yes, I disagree with him, but I don’t feel the need to swear my head off at him and/or insult his intelligence. There is no such thing as a “wrong” opinion. Calm down people.
You all need to loose your v cards
@FSTAROCKA
nobody cares how long you’ve been gaming. It means nothing. As soon as you said quake 2 has better AI you lost all credibility. You’re list of “Best games” didn’t help either.
Borderlands = probably worst game I’ve ever played. I actually regret buying it. Most boring game I’ve EVER played.
Oblivion = Worst elder scrolls game. Get so bored of it so fast. nothing immersive about it.
Skyrim = Amazing game, have it and love it.
Ass*ssins Creed is by far in my top 5 game series of all time. Love it and always have loved it.
I’m always astonished by people who say things like “Assasin’s creed has an amazing story!” etc.. etc.. I wonder if they’ve ever read a book in their life? Even a naff one. God, even a cheesy daytime soap-opera has more going for it story-wise than these nonsense games. It’s just tripe. The corny cardboard characters with their wonky accents ruined these games for me and don’t get me started on the whole sci-fi meta-twist rubbish.
Hopefully (as for example vanquish proves), it doesn’t matter that the story is about as compelling as rat-sh*t.. if the game plays like butter and delivers the fun. Sadly *ssasin’s creed doesn’t. unfortunately it doesn’t let you get on and enjoy the game on your own terms and allow you to play the game just for the game. If forces you constantly to play in the context of this god-awfull story and thus if you can’t connect to the story, you’ll have a much harder task connecting to the game in general. That and all the stop start crap.
I agree with this guys opinion. I think harsh critique is necessary to push the industry forward and keep developers (especially one’s who churn out the same franchise year after year) on their toes. It’s not worth getting stressed over, if you don’t agree – then you don’t agree. Play the game and be happy. However – *ssasin’s creed is undeniably pants.
i swear i will cut off ur d*ck with a hidden blade for the words u wrote. u moterf*cking *sshole!!
The arthor is right about the controls. They are f*cking horrible. I love the story and single player campaign and have finished all 4of the first ones. But this game has always controlled like sh*t and its really cheesy multiplayer. I have had lots of great multiplayer games on AC but then there is always one cheating douche that always know who who you are or a whole pack of um working together. Author has alot of it right and alot wrong. If you play this game on PC there are graphic quality options. If you have a PC that is high end then AC doesn’t even look like its console counterpart. PC version has graphic alot of graphic options that console doesn’t offer like lighting,shadow quality, character texture detail. Steal the torrent file and try it out don’t pay ubisoft for cuz they sux *ss.
Dude he’s saying the controls are bullsh*t because your character misinterperatesthem. Youcould be aiming for a haybarrel to hide and instead run into a retarded man who keeps shoving you untill the guars catch up.or you could be heading for a tarp covered box and climb it instead of hide inside it. It gets so infuriating after 10 minuts that you need to ventilate your anger onsomething.
Lol, everything you said is completely opposite to what it actually is.
you r retarded and must suck at games if u think the controls r hard. i am a pro at this game. i know all his moves and pressing the buttons is especialy easy. if u know a controler without looking down at it this game is easy to control. u really dont know what your talking about.
I love the *ss*ssin’s creed story. I owned the first one and brotherhood (didn’t really feel the need to buy the second one), but I’ll be honest I hate Revelations. I love how much there is to do in the world with the viewpoints, buying places, etc., but the controls kill it for me. It’s not that the controls are hard to learn necessarily, but it’s that they don’t work. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been trying to go up a building or across a ledge, and he goes flying off in some weird direction instead. This is a problem I’ve had with the series since the first game, and let’s be honest they’ve had three other games before this one to get the controls down. Here’s hope Ass*ssin’s Creed III gets it better. Oh and as for the graphics I think they’re pretty nice for what they’ve got to do (being as big/open worldly as it is), but I laughed at AC 2 at certain parts. The blood looked like ketchup sometimes! It’s gotten a lot better though.
1) The duel story seems to be a tag on that will eventually end up being something quite amazing, you’re closed-minded for not giving it a chance.
2)The graphics on a small scale aren’t very intricate. It’s the grand scheme that is appreciated, maybe it’s not your thing. But what you fail to realize, is how IMPOSSIBLE it would be to make a game that MASSIVE, and have every little window ledge, or grapple point, every asdfasdf thing supremely intricate. Your xbox probably couldn’t handle it without loading times more ridiculous than Skyrim’s. Again. You should learn to enjoy the beauty of things for what they are. The little story clips they give you.. I’ve noticed some that were pretty bad. Yeah. Especially in Revelations. That game was a m*ssive disappointment. Still though. It didn’t diminish the quality of enjoyment I received from two, and brotherhood.
3) The characters are not 2 dimensional. I’ve played it on TVs that made it look 2d, and I couldn’t handle it. If you hate the game because you played it on a tv as such, I understand. Also, have you tried messing with the 3d intensity? That helps it in most cases. But of course, if you couldn’t figure out the controls, chances are, you don’t know that options exist in the start menu.
4) The controls are not dog sh*t. You’re mentally impaired. They’re elegantly applied, I find. I suggest you see a therapist.
5) I have to agree with you on that, the AI frustrates me at times, but normally, it works fine. Just like every other game. I guess when you’re dead set on hating something because it’s well loved, you’ll use anything as an excuse. Remember, when you refuse to conform, you’re only conforming to the non conformists.
6) Just like with the second reason, I see someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate life, and highly recommend you see a therapist, because you’re not willing to find yourself. Every mission has something that aids the story line, except in revelations. That one was a disgrace. I will agree with you in totality for revelations that it had potential to be amazing, but left it. Lackluster story, and bad missions sprinkled through. But in two and brotherhood, I enjoyed just about every single mission, but if I had to play them again, I would say that quite a of the missions had a very low replay value.
Oh, and to all of you who dislike the ‘fanboys’ keep in mind, there’s nothing wrong with appreciating a good series, but what IS wrong is blindly dishing out money to them for making bad games. Revelations was completely disappointing, and I hope they fix their sh*t for the next game,
IF ANYONE READS THIS— DO____NOT_____PLAY____REVELATIONS. Haha. The controles didn’t even work sometimes because of the hookblade, which was the worst thing ever. The city was cool, I guess. But I didn’t appreciate the lack of nice tall buildings to climb that didn’t all look the same. The story was awkward, and lackluster. It lost the feel of Ezio being the guy who gets stuff done. There was even one mission where you had to “Get your fellow *ss*ssins to ensure your safety during the transaction” the game was one of the worst I’ve played. The story made me want to kill everything. Must be redundant to make my discontent blatant. Game sucked. Really badly. They hit their peter principle with Ezio, sad to say.
Ass*ssins creed has a whole sh*t-load of room for improvement
Leave up to someone who gets frustrated with a game too easily…
Im the one who posted the pitiful little boy comment, are you going to make me shut up?? Of course your not. I would be angry too if a female could play games better then me and ilI had a small nut-sack…YOUR a wh*re…a gaming wh*re who cant even play a simple game…Ive been waiting for an idiot to reply to my comment..LMAO at you…LMMFAO actually!!!!! Your the reason they dont let retards test ut games, you never could play the game nor finish it because your head is so far up your a** you cant do anything but breath your a** air all day. And talk sh*t because thats all you eat. Im also a black belt so dont get schooled in not only getting your a** kicked on a game, but in real life too
LOSER!!!! HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! BITCH!!!!!!!!!!
Read your history …Alot of the people like vlad the impaler and the templars …. are real!!!
Jackie chan, isnt asian ..cause asians can play games!!!! Retards cant handle simple games…Not a shocker..
OH…AND FOR ALL THE AC HATERS!!!! THE DEVELOPERS HAVE LISTENED AND PROBABLY READ THIS RETARDED POST CAUSE GUESS WHAT?? there is another AC coming THIS NOVEMBER and features the revelutinary war!!!!! So HA….HA………….HA!!!! YOU A**WIPES…TAKE THAT AND SHOVE IT…say what you want..im sick of halo…call of duty…and all the other stupid war games..are they going to quit making those?? NO of couse not.. So STFU…..AND ENJOY THE CREED!!!!!!!!! BITCHES!
You can’t just play the game for a few minutes and just *ssume everything about it sucks, the point about this game is to realize that Nothing is true and Everything is permitted..To say that Nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say Everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our own actions, and that we must live with our actions whether glorious or tragic. There is alot of truth within these words; there is alot of truth in this game. You shouldn’t criticise it just because you don’t like it, the only thing that matters is the story; not the graphics or the gameplay style or the controls, if you had half a brain you would realize that none of these things matter. Creating a blog that says how much the game sucks just proves that you haven’t played through any of the games and that you have no idea what you’re talking about. ill give you some advice, get these games and play through all of them, get a life, and kiss all of our azzez because it is you who sucks. You dirty Templar.
you are joking right
I have played ac1 ac2 acb and now playing acr
and the game is really awsome
and the controls is easy
you are just not good enough or *ss*ssins creed is not your type
I understand your problems with the game. But don’t say it sucks cause you can’t do it right. Look at me I have AC1 to ACR and look at me.I don’t lash out on the internet saying it sucks. And AC and ACII were the best of the series. ACB and ACR were shorter but had better scripts and game engines. Also learn how to play the game by learning the button and atacks and everything if you must and then replay the game and you’d notice its easier.
I have played two of the Ass*ssin creed games form the series, Ass*ssins Creed Brotherhood and Ass*ssins Creed Revelations. Although I have not found the controls irritating, the graphics terrible, or much of what you said, it is of course normal for people to hate a game while others don’t =.= We are all different. (Overall I actually found the game’s controls and the game content enjoyable.)
The only problem I really had with this article was when you started to bash and criticize this game and even made crazy statements saying that Ubisoft’s Ass*ssin’s Creed main purpose is to make people smash their controllers against the wall to make them buy new ones. Also, next time if you really find something so terribly hard to finish, just relax, take a break, be patient, come back next time to finish it, and don’t post negative articles just to help prove that everything you believe sucks is correct, because not everyone will ever always agree with you…
Also to those who found this game crappy on the first three missions, just continue on and see why other players had found this game interesting and had given it positive comments, or else why would they say such pointless comments, unless 50 – 80% ( A statistic that seems possible) of the players who played the game are completely crazy.
Also, this article was quite funny, and I did not really understand why people had felt so offended, it was just an opinion after all, and calling him a “dirty Templar” would not change his opinion at all or prove that he is wrong about thinking that this game sucks.
Don’t blame the game just because you suck at it. Go back to playing with barbie dolls or something.
And it’s “dual”, not “duel”. Damn, you gamers are uneducated.
Go back and play madden which is not fior Gamers.
