I've tried to like this series, but I can never get into the games. I probably wont be picking this up unless i find it somewhere super cheap down the road.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

il be picking this up regardless and depending on the price could be day 1. All the others have been around £32.99 and i won't be paying £40 now!
I'm happy the PS3 version is the superior tbh. can't wait for AC3:Liberation too when i have more money!


Your username already told us that. But why are you happy for that? :S

Not sure that's the case anyway just yet.

 

AC3, overhyped imo. How come it's suddenly the hip thing to love everything AC?

evidently because it was the version he was planning to buy...

i don't think you would need a detective to deduce that


Exactly! All I hear is how the 360 versions are better but this time the PS3 has the content and it runs better, which is good for me! Lol 

also love how people judge my name.. I game a lot on playstation, I love Nintendo games and love Gears of War. Don't judge me on a username. 

totally agree

I find it slightly odd how it seems to be totally ok for the PS3 versions to have several extra missions, and let us be honest, we all know why.

But when... that other company does it, its suddenly an outragous and filthy tactic...

Anyways, personally don't care about that, OT: Final meta: 90-92 I think.

That meristation review or what-ever mentions inexcusable bugs. I plan to find their Skyrim review and stalk it. If it doesn't mentions bugs i'm going to laugh.

EDIT: PS3 version 10/10. Yeah couldn't care less what they have to say.

Its ok for PS3 versions to come with more stuff because the PS3 has more disc capacity to fit more stuff on it, which Sony encourages devs to take advantage of, hence the reason they used BluRay in the first place. One of the most aggrevating things about this gen, when many PS3 owners heard that BR had such a large capacity to fit larger games, we expected to get just that. Instead we get games that get capped due to trying to meet requirements of the "lowest denomonator"  consoles.

MS actively works against the possibility of bigger games. They charge game devs more for using extra discs, and they also have contractual road blocks to stop devs from giving PS3 exclusive content. So yea, when devs actually take advantage of what is actually available to them it does make us gamers happy.

lol^^

too bad the whole post has probably nothing to do with assassin's creeds extra content for ps3. the reason is that sony has paid for it (or gave ubisoft more e3 time on their stage or whatever) as much as microsoft often pays for timed-exclusive stuff or something.

btw i believe the extra content is a day one dlc so it's not even on the disc if i'm not wrong.

i should have my copy tomorrow. i hope its not true about the draw distances being reduced, climbing all those viewpoints is alot more fun with a nice view. im sure its a bad pic or maybe it needs that day 1 patch.

Sony paid for the exclusive content. Plain and simple.

This game is probably going to be my GOTY. Can't wait for the midnight release!

I don't think they did. Sony stated some time ago that they do not pay for exclusivity or exclusive content like MS does. People started to believe they must have gone back on their word due to a few games giving exclusive stuff but  I beg to differ. Sony could never win a bidding war with MS, hense the reason they want to stick to their guns and not attempt it. The second they start, it will become common place for all . I do think they are giving these devs some kind of incentive to give them special treatment. I did hear that Devs make more money on every PS3 game sold in comparison to NIN and MS, maybe that is it, plus the free advertising during trade shows. If that is "buying them off" than i guess they employ different but similar tactics. Yet they will never "loan" a company 20million just to get exclusive stuff, it just goes against there core company beliefs. This is possibly why they just don't get nearly as many deals as MS does for exclusive content.
