3. …AND THE STEALTH… From how the enemies react when they spot you, to how you sneak around Paris, stealth gets a full makeover. That includes a new stealth stance, which changes how Arno moves and alters how he sees the world. In fact, stealth is once again at the center of the experience, thanks to some radical changes to the gameplay. After all, as Amancio says, “Assassin’s Creed is first and foremost a social stealth game. You’re an Assassin. You shouldn’t be Rambo.”
4. …AND THE COMBAT Speaking of Rambo, when it comes to combat the team went back to the original core values of the game – but then executed everything on a next-gen level. “We actually made combat a little bit harder than before,” Pontbriand says. “The Assassin is still a very, very strong fighter. He can easily dispatch an individual or a couple of guards or enemies. But we also wanted the game to be a little bit more realistic.”
Enemies are both smarter and tougher, but so is the Assassin. Button mashing will no longer work when facing a large crowd. A savvy Assassin will have to rely on a combination of stealth, planning and all the tools at his disposal to handle certain situations. “It’s more fun because there are more tactics involved,” Pontbriand promises.
I remember a lot of complaining about it being an unoptimised port and a couple other issues but can't remember exactly what they were. My PC handled it fairly well even though I was still running an nvidia 8800GT. I upgraded shortly after release. My Experience at launch wasn't too bad though and I don't remember having any major issues.
I disagree, I thoroughly enjoyed gta iv on the 360, it was blurry or large at all.

Ok, maybe wasn't really as bad as I made it sound but having played the PC version before the console, it seemed that way to me.
GTA V though, I am impressed by what I am seeing. Aeropost screwed up my order and sent me a PS3 version instead of a 360 this morning. I'm hoping to have this sorted before weekend.
Same here, it should unlock by tonight at 8pm most likely. I don't know what nonsense Ubisoft on. You can use the CD key from Steam to activate the game in Uplay but I see that they have separate keys for Steam and Uplay now...it still won't work.
