Didn’t anyone else get the game?

of course, but we’re busy playing it most of the time instead of being on this stupid board. :looney:

General consensus of a few guys I know give it about a 7/10. This game isn’t sounding too great, but I still must try it out.

Not surprising, this game was hyped from basically nothing.

Just picked it up but I will start playing it after I’m done with Mario Galaxy.

Digitalbooty · 2007-11-16T10:10:57.000Z

Storyline in this game just got top-tier.

TheSix · 2007-11-16T10:37:51.000Z

In swamped by games. Why did I buy this now? Sigh.

I won’t get to this for another week or two.

… No, I’m good.

I guess all I got now is my SMG… WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

On topic, I didn’t really understand the hype of this game. Was it because of Jade Raymond? Or was it the free running aspect of it? I’ll probably rent this someday, since its getting some mixed reviews.

I thought it looked great graphics wise from the commercial, and obviously the concept is pretty good. But yeah it’s probably because of Jade Raymond. I don’t agree with others saying she isn’t attractive, I don’t think there is a question about that, it’s just it shouldn’t matter. But it does to people. That is why my plan is to hire a bunch of models to work for me in my law firm, and then sue someone for $50M. I can’t believe nobody thought of this yet.

I’m trying to juggle this game with SMG. So far i’m playing this one more.

seven

TheRock-BoS · 2007-11-17T08:55:13.000Z

I’m at 3 hits finished so far.

I’m sure I can do some other stuff in “The Room”, like stealing “that item”, but can anyone give some hints on that?

ezekial45 · 2007-11-18T03:36:30.000Z

Just beat the game last night. Overall, the game is amazing. Really loved the story. I plan on continuing to play through the game again to finish the rest of the side missions and finding the viewpoints. How has everyone else who has the game faired?

You know, it’s really nice to have a game and thread like this, where PS3 and 360 players can post together in harmony about the same game. I can already imagine the Nintendo people peering through the window at us with teary eyes.

“But… but… Wii would like to play, too. :sad:”

PS3…you mean the version that crashes fifty billion times, right? I’ll play it on my 360, thanks. Then I’ll pop in SMG on my Wii and play that too.

But yeah, this game is badass. I only got to play a bit of it, but the free roaming is nice and it’s not as clunky as I feared from hearing game mags talk about it pre-release.

System_1 · 2007-11-18T05:29:40.000Z

Come on PC version…:sad:

System_1 · 2007-11-18T06:07:56.000Z

Can someone spoil the technological bullshit about the game through PM? I don’t have the funds, but fuzzy static over medieval J-town makes me curious.

Jade Raymond really, it shows just how sad the industry is, then again if you look at most of its consumer base it shouldn’t be of a surprise.

I’ve been watching the game get played on and off all day on Sir PlayStation the 3rd Esquire (Deathscythe’s PSTriple), and honestly it doesn’t look half bad.

I’m trying to figure out why the reviews are so low for it, honestly. I’m not seeing anything making it worth a score lower than an 8. The story is good, it looks fucking gorgeous, the atmosphere is great as is the music, and the gameplay from what I have gleaned doesn’t look too difficult.

The HUD and the reminders that pop up every now and then that remind you it’s all memories being unlocked are really golden, honestly. I like those the best.

My only complaint is that Deathscythe was riding a horse in the game earlier and it’s butt was looking like it lacked some gravity, but then again horses are nuts to animate from what i’ve been told in the past.

Jade Raymond can produce a game, I guess. She’s no Cliffy B, though.

Digitalbooty · 2007-11-18T10:05:13.000Z

Why can’t this “bad ass” assassin swim?!?!?!?

jae_hoon · 2007-11-18T10:07:09.000Z

The story sucks ass thats why, a friend of mine has it and I have been watching him play it. Awful awful story.
