Assassin's Creed

You know, I love Assassin Creed series and they are the best! However, due to all these *Save Protection* issue, it just makes me want to know if the developer is going to plan ahead with this SAVE lock?

If they are going for 'SAVE Lock', then I will cancel my pre-order, grab a PC version and play it at home with my N+ Wirelss Router.

Secondly, I already have enough *Save File Protection* nightmares and HELL - already lost too many save protected file, HRS of FUN and progress - even got YOLD 2 weeks ago. Nevertheless, I just want to backup my progress with my USB stick. Sigh... PS+ is waaay too expensive and half of the services is considered useless. But, that is my opinion. Some of you may be against this - I don't care... this SAVE protection has gone far enough when "Trophies" was indroduce for the public / gamers. I just wish there is something Sony could implement or Sync all SAVE files to the PSN Account (the holder of the account) and allow gamers to backup their SAVE freely. However, the SAVe file is locked togheter with the user ID account. Which means: only the holder of the account is allow restore their save and continue where they left.

Seriously... this 'Lock' issue is getting worse for everbody. Just look at the amount of votes from the US PlayStation Blog: http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/ideas/2010/03/17/remove-copy-protection-from-game-save-files/

Understandably this is annoying and I would say they probably will use the protected saves on Assassins Creed: Revelations but if it is that much of a problem just use PS+ cloud service. Sure it's "expensive" but not as expensive as losing hours of gameplay.

Most of the people on the comments on the PS Blog were wanting to share saves across systems / PSN IDs and agreed with trophy / reward hacking. That's the whole point of the protected saves lol.

Also with the recent security breaches and jailbreaks etc. It's a small price to pay in my opinion. Sony are offering a solution. It's just not a free one but then we don't pay for much else. So I don't have a problem with it.

I am glad I am someone who completes my games 100% before moving on if this is the case. I also pay for PS+ mostly for the Cloud service.

As far as I remember AC2 had protected gamesaves but AC Brotherhood didn't so hopefully they are not going back...

God prays that they are NOT going back and put a Lock on the SAVE file. So yeah... AC2 was a good game. But, it makes consumer angry due to the Lock issues.

I think they already realised their mistake with ac2 and corrected it with acb, dont worry about it tbh..
