RROD, the issue that will get you jumped on.

^Ok. I lost any respect for your opinions :P


But now, seriously. I think it always comes down to a matter of opinion. See, you were willing to forgive AC's faults just a little more than you were with Uncharted. A number of variables may influence this, and you explained some of them, but it's still subjective of course. Sometimes we are overhyped for a game, or we overexpect and then even if the game is a masterpiece we are left disappointed. It happens with everything.


But that was not the case for me with AC, I assure you. Sometimes it's a matter of the type of game we're most eager to play, or if a game is different enough from the games we've saturated ourselves at a given time and we might recieve it better than if it was in direct competition with other titles in the same genre.

I think Assasin's Creed had a lot of hype. Lots. Coming from a strong E3 showing, produced by Ubisoft, makers of Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, how can an "assasin" game with these credentials not be hyped?

Overall, I think if you read your comments again you'll see the flaws you point out overweigh the goods, and still you appreciated this "hugely flawed" game very much. I'm sure if a game like Gears of War 2 (or any other game you'd expect to be "great" 9+ ) were to exhibit the same level of gameplay quility AC offers you would be a lot more severe on it. Or probably not.

For comparison's sake, I think Uncharted deserves an 8/10. Assasin's Creed gets a 5. Thanks for your reply.
