Default [IGN] Assassin's Creed sucks!!!

Quote:
If you play Assassin's Creed for an hour, you will probably think it's a fantastic game. But as Assassin's progresses, its dual storylines and repetitive quests begin to grow tiresome. There are so many great individual elements, but they are lost among the myriad of poor decisions from Ubisoft Montreal. Wasting the big twist on the first five minutes of gameplay is a tremendous mistake, but not nearly as damaging as the ill-conceived assassination investigation quests, which get old fast. The exploration aspects of Assassin's Creed and the combat are both plusses in my book. But those two elements are only a small part of the whole. And most everything else in Assassin's Creed is mediocre.

I was really hoping it would be the greatest game ever.....

While I reserve the right to make my final judgement until I have played it....this sounds very disappointing...although if it is a mediocre game...I give mad props to Ubisoft's marketing department in all the promo stuff it looks like the greatest game ever...

The guy on the front looked like someone from stalker.

I love how when things suck it's news. ATI SUCKS = hardware news. AMD SUCKS = hardware news. CRYSIS SUCKS = software news. WOW SUCKS = software news.

It got a 9.0 from Gamespot.com & they are very tough on their reviews.

it's amazing how they said that GoW also sucked but yet IMO, it kicks ass.

I never trusted IGN and never will unless they really prove something.

EDIT:
Yeah - GS gave it a 9.0. An 8 on GS is considered pretty damn good as they are rough as nails when it comes to reviewing games now that they revamped their scoring system.

I can't wait until I can get my hands on this game! It looks great so far and it would be a huge disappointment if it flopped.

I believe the title of this news post is misleading and unprofessional. I agree with the other posters. Don't let IGN make your decision for you.

Don’t buy games based on reviews is what I say... I do read them don’t get me wrong but if I decide to get a game it's my choice not because of what I read.

Get it play it make your decision.

Hell - forget trusting reviews.
