PC guys...don't waste your time. Another mission just means you'll be doing the same thing again and again.

...so when's it pouncing back onto my 360 in the form of a sequel? That cliff-hanger ending was weak!

Once i buy some more ram, i meet all those requirements, and can almost tap the recommended settings on the shoulder. The PC is just absolutely fine if you don't want an xbox 360. I'll have the opportunity to play almost every exclusive that recieves critical acclaim and i don't mind waiting one bit, i've got other stuff to do.

We've already got Crysis, which your consoles can't run. PCs for the win.

Personally, I have no interest. Beat as much of it as I could before getting terribly bored at a friends house.

With so many of the games I have on 360 now popping up on PC with extra content, I often question my purchase ¬_¬

I think those requirements are a little bit too high. Looks like I'm gonna need to boost up my budget PC soon...

I already exceed all of those requirements.
Seriously though, at this rate, I'm wondering why the hell I ought to get a 360 if games are rolling onto my PC.
Without Xbox Live.

Most true PC gamers have at least those specs... If someone's going to invest as much time into their PC for gaming as you would on your console, then they're going to have a decent PC. Plus, having a fast PC also has more practical uses, like... editing your Word documents faster, duh.
Oh, and they could also play almost any game using mouse and keyboard, 360 controller, a Wii Remote/nunchuk combo (classic controller or even Guitar Hero guitar), Sixaxis (why anyone would is beyond me), or virtually any other console controller (through USB conversion) all at higher resolutions (or 1080p on our TVs). Granted, you're paying much more in the end, it's only a few hundred dollars... lol.

For some reason, I kind of want this for PC even though 1) I have it for 360 and 2) My PC will implode upon itself if I even move the disc an inch near my DVD drive.
I don't know why, something about it on a PC appeals to me :P

Probably because if it can be modded, it's the sort of game that lends itself to a lot of possibilities. I'd be curious to see what could be done with it, though the point is academic for me, since I don't think it'll come out for the Mac.

AC is the video game equivalent of "Pearl Harbor". Lotsa hype and big sales, but everyone is left wondering how the hell such a terrible game can make so much money.
It is probably the worst thing I've played (outside of some lame-o demos) since E.T. I question it even being called a "game" since it operates more like an interactive experience (remember those?) in that you walk up to someone and press the "assassinate" button. That's it. No great sword battle. If you do get chased by guards or if your target attacks you first, you simply hit the exact same button repeatedly (and they call this a "combo" - imagine if a Big Mac combo came with two Big Macs, nothing else!). Just terrible. $60 I might as well have flushed down the toilet.

I agree.
A week ago: Is not that bad, is lackluster but is not bad.
Now:Okay AC is a piece of sh!t.
Even after months of its release Ubisoft keeps finding ways to piss me off.
Pc fans don’t even bother; this game was mediocre in consoles, considering that every Ubisoft port to the PC sucks it’s probably going to be an awful port with shitty extras.

Esc: Splinter Cell games would like to disagree with you. And Prince of Persia. I'm picking this up because I've played it before and I enjoyed it and the day I take posters' opinions on Joystiq as fact is the day I purchase Enter the Matrix because it was so popular.

More missions? Sweet...nothing like adding more Save the Citizen, Eavesdrop, Pick-pocket, Collect flags, Kill random guards for some other Assassin.
Oh the variety!

If Ubisoft could come up with any other types of missions, I would think they'd already have been in the game to begin with... I agree it's probably going to be a rehash of the original missions. [insert task here] [insert name here] without being caught.
It's not like it's an assassin's job to walk to the market, buy some fruit, deliver fruit... Stealthily. Wait, now there's a game I'd pay $50, or even $60 for.

The thing I hated was when one of those drunks/retarded guys would push you and all of a sudden the guards realized you were the assassin. How does that make sense?
"Hey, that drunk just pushed a guy! He must be the one who killed that guard a couple of yards back! KILL HIM!"
Ugh, reminds me of how honking the horn in Mercenaries would make the North Koreans realize you were the mercenary, even if you're in a tank and there's no way they can tell who's inside.

No,what actually happens is that the retard screams "He is an assasin!!" whenever he pushes you,for some reason the retards reliaze a guy full with blades is up to no good while the guards don't give a damn so as you see the retards are more intelligent than the guards.
In fact I think the retards are the only NPCs with a developed AI.

That is a lie. You don't need a high-end PC to run Crysis. You need a high-end PC to run Crysis on maximum settings and to see the sweat on your enemy's face and the bug in the tree four miles away, but just to get the game running decently? No, you don't need a high-end PC.

I certainly wouldn't say that AC was a piece of shit. It certainly had some nice aspects such as the interesting time and setting. But it had a lot of hype behind it, and is among the biggest dissapointments I've ever played(and very few games I feel live up to the hype).

It's just not a port. It's a new game, which is the prequel to the console game.
