So far, 8/10. Im starting to get a bit bored with the main story. Its.. slow, even now as I am connor. Played about 8 hours. Like.. Im not too fond of the pacing and the missions to be quite frank. Its a fun game no doubt, but nyeh.. I just dont know.

you haven't gotten to the big scale battles or high stakes action yet.  

This is what you call epic buildup.  you know it's coming, but dammit they want to spend a lot of time making you care.  

I agree it's slow for a decent amount of the game, but like Lord of the Rings, the payoff is pretty grand.

Oo now im excited! Gonna play more.


One thing that bothers me is that the framerate really drops at times when they decide to put like 40 people on screen XD. I really really like them being so ambitious with this but at times it kind of is annoying lol.

Yeah, epics should build up slowly.

I hope you're giving it a great review man. You mentioned you're responsible for the gamrconnect review, right?

Assassin's Creed is so goooooooooood!!!

what system are you playing it on?  I'm on PS3 andI've never had framerate issues.  LOTS of animation glitches, pop-in, and weird shadow formation, but no framreate issues.

Truth is, this is how I've felt about every Assassin's Creed (played the first three). They are just a couple of hours too long, and I end up getting bored about half-way through.



All i can say is that I think Connor is pretty badass and my favorite AC character yet. I'm not even halfway into sequence 5 and this game is the best game I've played all year.



Ubisoft needs to do away with the Synchronicity and the linearity of this game. A title like this begs to be explored, even in the beginning. It truly deserves an 8.5 as it stands where I am for now.



ran into some really funny glitches. bodies floating around, guards getting stuck and all sorts of other shit. connor was even moving his mouth like he was talking but he wasnt saying anything. still loving it though. some of the glitches are fun. like executing a stuck guard.



Beat it.

Too tired to tell you my biggest gripes (its 6am). But I can give you a number for the lulz...

Its weighing between a 6 or 7/10.

Fucking let down immensly. Good night.
