I bought Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and Assassin's Creed III about a month or so ago pretty cheap on Amazon. In preparation for playing those, I replayed through the first Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II as well, since it had been a while since I last played either of those. (I'd forgotten how samey and kind of boring the first game was after the third or so assassination [out of nine]. The second game is way better.)
After finishing AC2 today, I started AC Brotherhood and played it for a couple of hours or so. Everything was going fine at first. But then, when I got the chance to do so, I exited out of the Animus (right after completing the "catch the pickpocket" mission near the beginning) and tried to go outside. As it was loading up the new area, the game froze. I reset my 360 and tried to load my save game. It froze again. Repeated a second time, and it froze yet again. Apparently, they had the bright idea to have the game simultaneously save while it was in the process of loading a new area. Absolutely genius, that. -_-
So, essentially, my game is fucked and I pretty much have no choice but to start over. My interest in doing that right now is pretty much fucking zero, in part because I have no way to know it won't just randomly freeze up again. This game is three years old. It should fucking not still have game-breaking freeze/crash bugs in it, and yet, it does. I'm pretty pissed right now. I'm just glad it decided to do this when I was still fairly early in the game rather than waiting until I was really far along, but it's still fucking bullshit regardless.
(EDIT, the next day)
I tried it again this morning and it actually loaded this time, except that it put me back inside the Animus again. Well, that's better than what it was doing before, I thought, so I tried to leave the Animus again and... yes... it locked up once more. I just sighed wearily and turned the 360 off. Fuck this buggy, piece of shit, broken ass game.
Also, one of the first things I did was check Google and, sure enough, this is a pretty common issue, on 360, PS3, and PC apparently.
