Morning Discussion

Should be a short but busy week around here for everyone. If you haven't checked it out, there's a fresh Shackcast for you to sink your teeth into. Plus Faylor brings this week's NA Release List, letting you be more intimate with your wallet's mangling. I myself will be sitting around a Best Buy tonight, awaiting another morsel from the Harmonix feeding tube. Anyone else?

      A friend of mine was playing over the weekend and said it was horribly horribly repetetive. I watched him play for about an hour and had to agree. It looks stunning, and some of the counter-kill moves are fantastic but you essentially do the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again..

      ..he also said the story wasn't compelling enough to want to continue playing.. the only reason he finished the game was so he could say he had and sell it back to Gamestation..

        At the core, most games are horribly repetitive. You can say it about anything really. Look at guitar hero. All you do is press the same 5 buttons over and over again.

        That being said, I do somewhat agree. I realized I have more fun with the game when I slow down and take my time doing things. I make it a point to go to all the synch spots and save the citizens and what not. It is really repetitive, but it is a lot of fun too. Personally, I'm not sure if it is worth full price, but I don't necessarily regret picking it up.

          But in GH you press different buttons - sometimes it's the red one first, in others it's the blue one first - each record is different, sometimes you have to press the yellow one first or the red one again and then blue or orange.

          If that's not variety, I don't know what is.

          You've just described every game ever made, if you want to boil it down that much.

          I'm tired of playing my PC, the power button is so boring and repetitive. And don't get me started on how many mouse clicks I've done.

      I'm enjoying it quite a bit. The tasks leading up to the assassinations are repetitive, but they're still fun (and usually pretty brief, individually), and I'm really enjoying the story.

      Abso'100%'lutely! It's still my GotY and the sole reason I picked up a 360 1 yr ago. If you enjoyed any of the Prince of Persia games on the original XBOX you will love this. Not disappointed at all.

        "still"? It's only been out for a week.

        Way to hold onto that GotY for a whole week Assassin's Creed!

      I loved it, and it has some replayability as well.

      Fun game, only complaint I have is about my actual 360 and how I get random disc errors and lose my progress.
