Agreed 100%. I think that Crysis and Bioshock still win the GOTY, but this is still a close third. I cant seem to put the game down......

I'd personally say it's better than Crysis (well the PS3 version of Assassin's Creed anyway) and I haven't played Bioshock. The only problem I find with this is it does get a bit repetitive after a while, given that the missions are more or less the same but with more guards/different locations. Still great fun though.

BTW, the quiet voices are a problem on the PS3 too - after changing the options and boosting the volume on my centre speaker I managed to get it to a better level, but otherwise voices just get drowned out by other sound effects.

Personally i think Bioshock was a great game with one small problem single player only apart from that pure gold.

From the pictures shown on the thread it only seems to stretch the hud, which is the lesser of two evils, imho. :p

I guess that's true. But there is a big difference between stretching to 16:10 and stretching to 4:3 :D

Lol, that's true! :laugh: I haven't seen any 4:3 comparison pics whilst using this tool, and seeing as I use a 16:9 monitor i can't possibly image how it would look. :ohwell: But it is a lot of screen estate to lose :cry:

Im kind of shocked, my system is fast for what I paid and deffinatly for whats in it, but its not the kind of computer that plays modern games on max settings. In' AC on directx10 with everything maxed @ 1200x1024, on my 2nd monitor, It has no problem running while I have my desktop and other items up on the 1st one, I was sure it was going to get very pissed off, the only problem I have is fraps only displays 88 in the courner (not the right fps), but it seems smooth to me.
This game is kind of addicting thus far.

Well, I guess I could upload a 10 minute 720p video, but I really doubt anyone will be intrested in downloading that.

If the youtube video doesn't want to load, then you need to update your flashplayer so that you can play high-quality youtube video's.

Really? I get 35fps while riding a horse and it doesn't look really smooth. If you have 20fps then riding a horse must be really choppy, no?

Dont much ride the horse after the first three missions since I have the option to memory skip to a city after i leave th assassin's temple. :)

Wasnt the PC version supposed to have four additional missions after you completed the game? If so, how can i access it? I cannot click on continue in the Animus.

Oh, it's the game, not a compability problem. Ok then. Thanks for quick reply.

Don't really understand why so many rumors spreaded about requirements for this game.

There is only 15fps difference between 1280x1024 and 2048x1536.

At 2048x1536 with shadows at 2, I still get 40+. Looks pretty :)

For some of us, 15 fps slower would put us in the negatives. :laugh:

In the animus its at the very end - i can see it quite clearly even beginning a new game.
