Jesus H Christ - is this really a bluesnews comment thread that's overwhelmingly POSITIVE?
Anyway mines DL'ed his morning and i'll get it ready tonight for friday's unveiling - sounds like it's everything a massive AC fan could want so far which is awesome. I just hope I don't miss Jesper's wonderful music too much - not heard the new soundtrack yet (i've dl it as it's part of the game package I bought).

Played to act 5 today. Very very cool game. My only gripe so far is that the tree running is probably more finicky than Ezio's roof adventures were (despite an email saying that the Animus has been upgraded, and you should now "jump and fall in random directions far less.")
It keeps baffling me how the game thinks that if I jump in a certain direction, I must OBVIOUSLY mean to jump the 200 feet down to the ground where I'm left with a sliver of health, rather than to the tree branch that's 20 feet away...
Combat is smooth, though in essence it's still parry and counter most of the time, but this now happens while you're slugging with another guy. So it's no more countering everyone one by one until they're all dead. Now if you're fighting one guy, they will attack you in the back, but you can fortunately still counter. It's not Batman Arkham Asylum/City level cool, but it's very good combat.
Graphics wise it's incredible (the outdoors areas look amazing, and Boston is very well done), sound wise it's great, performance is great. The story's still a bit naff, but eh.
All in all, if you're a fan of AC, I think you'll like this. And if you're a fan of big open world areas, so far I think this game is massively huge. Just looking at the map, I've barely been anywhere, and already I've walked like 10-15 minutes straight just to get somewhere.
Oh, and their implementation of snow is really the best ever done in games.
Awesome game. Can't wait to play it again tomorrow.

Agreed. I had to check the header to make sure I was on the right site. |

Combat is not the reason to play these games and never has been. They're focused on exploration, platforming and story.
Nah I think that's a poor excuse for the combat when it comprises a significant portion of the game. Also the platforming has never really been that strong either outside of a few static placed buildings that were interesting to climb. AC is one of those games where you either like the sum of its parts or not, none of the elements are very standout aside from the engine itself IMHO. |

| The delay for the PC version was relatively short, they've lightened up on their DRM, and the PC port even has some superior features like DX11 support (after cancelling DX10 support waaaay back in AC1). Better Ubi, much better. Purchase for me. |

Yay, a 770MB patch. So here I thought I was going to get to play this morning 
Btw, why on earth did they change the characters' faces so much? Desmond looks nothing like himself anymore, and God only knows who that chick is who is with them. She's not Rebecca, that's about the only thing I know. Only Sean still peripherally looks like himself.
And it'd be one thing if they change that and make the characters look better, but they unanimously all look worse than they did in AC2 on my PS3...

I really like this game. The new engine is fantastic, and out in the wilderness there is some truly breathtaking scenery. I often just to stop to just enjoy the surroundings. I've played every assassins creed, and this is by far the best.

The graphics are really sweet. Running on a GTX680 with TXAA and everything maxed. Rarely drop below 60fps. The draw distances are huge, and the overall level of detail is astounding.

I hope this is discounted a bit in the Christmas sale, even though the game will have been out only a month. $80 for the complete package is pretty hefty and I made zero dollars this year as a volunteer overseas.
Looking forward to the game though, I liked 1 and 2. |

| This will be the first Ubi game I've purchased in a while (no, I didn't pirate others) thanks to them getting rid of their silly DRM. I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully the PC port is solid and all. I hear they fixed up a lot of the bugs so technically it should be a smoother release than the console ones. |
