Assassins Creed for PS3 Users

<div class="IPBDescription">(It does need it's own topic, BIG FLAW)</div>This game totally screwed up my PS3.

It may not be everybody, but there is that chance.

And I'm not the only one. At one of the local Game Stops I go to, they've received other reports after mine that Assassins Creed has made the PS3 unable to locate the HD. If you do get it at a place that has a PS3 setup, demand/request/whatever to play it on their PS3 first.

This is the error I got and I'm sure others are getting as well:
Cannot start.
Cannot locate the correct hard disk.


Good job Ubi Soft?

    If this is true, I advocate caution in general. If it's a problem with the game in conjunction with the PS3, it's more likely that it's a problem with certain PS3s than with certain AC discs. If you want to be on the safe side you're probably safer off awaiting further news.

    This is why I'm sort of dubious when people brag that their consoles are so much easier to use than computers. Sure, 99% of the time it might be a slightly easier experience, but if a game bricks your PS3, you're boned. At least with a PC I can fix the thing whenever something goes wrong. I'll take greater control and versatility over simplicity with limited ability to influence stuff any day of the week. Except maybe Wednesdays.

    I'm going to try to contact Ubisoft in the next few days and give them a heads up.

    My friend at Game Stop refused to take an AC cd and put it in the PS3 they have hooked up for demos. lol


    But the good news is:

    I got my money back (all of it) from the PS3. (except for the games and I now have a BRAND new unopened AC that I'll probably sell).

    I went back to that game stop, got a new PSP Slim, FF Tactics (psp) and the Castlevania duel pack (psp) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Did you update your ps3 firmware before you tried to play the game?

    There are a number of issues with AC on the PS3 related to the firmware patch from last week. Apparently a fix is due out rsn. I've been lucky though, the game has crashed on me twice in the 5-6 hours I've been playing it, but other than that, no major issues. The game went gold before firmware 2.0 was released, so unfortunately it didn't get tested on it.

    I originally decided not to buy the game, but my gf arrived home with it as a gift yesterday and I have to say, I've really been enjoying it. I'm on the third assassination mission now, and things are getting up to a level of difficulty where the game is starting to become challenging.

    After the game crashed my HD, I couldn't get any furthern than the SCEA display, so I couldn't update even if I wanted too.

    I"ll get a new one probably on Xmas.

    Bummer too, it was the last 60 gig at the Best Buys I went too.

    you can restore the ps3 to defaults if something like this happens. Did you update your firmware to 2.0 before the problem occured though?

    Jade Raymond should start a new company called Boobiesoft.

    Well this isn't good, I just ordered a PS3 earlier today and should get it in the afternoon/tomorrow morning, and the first game I'm going to buy is Assassins Creed. Whats the problem, can anyone pin point it? Because I don't want this thing to brick on me when it first hits my hands, its an 80gig PS3.

    It's a cheap blu-ray player and it's made by Sony. Problems pin-pointed.

    Whiny, I wouldn't know. I've only seen pics, and I think watched one interview video without bothering to turn the audio up. Just cause I heard she was cute, and wanted to take a look for myself.

    As for "not very attractive"... on what, exactly, are you basing that statement? Just throwing some BS out there like that really speaks on your perception of real life women and what exactly makes a woman attractive. Like, in real life. IRLs.

    She's got a cute face, a nice clean smile, she's slim with what you could confidently assume to be nice boobs, and she produced Assassin's Creed. Altogether that's not bad. That's actually good.

    I agree that she's nothing special. Because she made a game and she's a girl, she goes from average to hot? She's just not a major ugly girl in gaming like the othe 98% out there. She's average.

    Right, she's no Scarlett Johansson...

    But the whole geek factor really <i>is</i> a turn-on for us in the geek crowd. Isn't it?

    In black and white: a very cute girl who maybe has the same interests as you > a super hot chick who is a bimbo and a ######. That is, if you factor those kinds of traits into your attraction for females. Maybe it's just me, because I dig dorky chicks too. My girlfriend is cute as hell but just about as much of a dork as I am. We both cosplay and do other nerdy stuff.

    I work with a guy who thinks that seeing a decent-looking woman in a big-ass, lifted pickup truck makes her about 2 points hotter on the 10 scale.

    I think it's that whole thing.

    Pretty much every chick I know in real life is a gamer to some extent, or a geek, so it's really not a turn-on or attraction for me. If anything, I find geek/gamer girls are obnoxious as hell. ESPECIALLY the hot ones.

    I'm not a fanboy by any means, I'm just irritated by people who come into threads and constantly bash on one console. I like both. I was torn between PS3 and the XBOX 360 but eventually I went with the PS3 because of the backwards compatability and not having to use my PS2 anymore (to free up space, which I really need). That along with the free online (<i>even if</i> live is currently better) so I don't have to continually shell money out, and in addition, blu-ray.

    I love my friend's XBOX 360. I mean, myself and another friend actually crashed his house when he wasn't there just to play his. He came in and was pretty surprised to find two people in what he was expecting to be an empty house. We had an urge man. But it's okay, we bought fifty chinese dounuts and all sat down and jammed on Halo 3 multiplayer for awhile.

    There are actually THREE current-gen consoles. It's curious that you're not even counting the most-selling one.

    ahh wth.

    *insert wii fanboy ######ii here*

    However the reason why the Wii never comes up in these sorta discussions is that everyone either:
    A) Acknowledges the superiority of the Wii.
    or
    B) Is a idiot that just doesn't understand how AMAZING the Wii is.






    <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    That or they just are not interested in the types of games that are on the Wii (like my brother).

    I didn't think the Wii had the hardware to support something like AC. Motion sensors isn't too 'next gen' for me. People don't try to compare the Wii to the PS3 or the XBOX 360 for the same reason I didn't mention it - it simply isn't in the same "ballpark" as the others, it feels like a different system. Very fun in it's own right (I enjoy it, at least) but it doesn't feel like a competitor rather than another product all together.

    Yeah. Wii's not next gen, its got its own tree. I hope that tree is the future honestly, 'cause ###### I have a lot of fun on it, but its certainly caught in last gen.

    I think it's more a case of setting the "next-gen" bar based on graphics alone, which I guess is one way to do it, but if that's the case then the PC is already a generation ahead of PS3/360 and is about to be 2 generations ahead.
