Old and misleading

Ezio is probably my favourite assassin in the series. Think the games will look a bit dated now, but good game nonetheless. Just see past the graphics. Syndicate is another good one. Just the characters for me (leads) aren't as good. Unity is dull and boring (story wise) and assassins creed (old American/ Indian one..... forget what number) is the worst in the series.

So is it better to buy this, as a newcomer to the series, than the Hardio collection?


*gets coat* *leaves*

​I personally thought ac3 was one of the strongest in the series.

Xbox One : https://www.coolshop.co.uk/product/assassins-creed-the-ezio-collection/AG4R7P

Bargain, even if these end up being not the best remasters (not played them myself so cannot comment) a fiver each is a bargain! Hot Buzz!

Great price, I'm just gonna stick to the 360 copies :smile: heat added

I think IGN hit the nail on the head when they said The Ezio Collection's story holds up, but I'm not sure who this compilation is for.

Still, it's ~£10 cheaper than I'd previously seen it.

havent used these before are they any good? and are the copies region 2?
sorry to ask

Nice, im going to wait for payment from some of my quidco purchases and get straight on this after. Never played the original 3 games so this should be good for me even though they are not great remasters. Thanks Buzz

thanks for the info, just ordered cant beat that price :smile:

Ordered, I got a £10 Quidco bonus so £5 all in, not bad. Thanks OP

Ta Buzz. Was waiting for this to drop to £18 so at this price, it's a no brainer. :smile:

Excellent price buzz good find

Yeah, it's a bit of a strange release, however Assassin's Creed 2 still remains one of the best in the series. Might pick it up if I see it for a few quid for another romp around Florence. Helped me get my bearings when I went there a few years ago :smiley:

PS4 is out of stock >_< Was gonna get it for Remote Play

they do that i'll be asking for least half my money back lol

Playstaion 4 oos

Cheers ordered and got the rooks edition of syndicate as it was in my basket from the other day....

£28 I didn't need to spend

Great price, hope I get it, don't care if it's a Norwich second hand copy at that price, that's my biting point!

Been looking for this for the husband for a while! Saved me some money thanks op!

Bought the rooks edition of syndicate before christmas from these guys it arrived with no problems

The graphics are shockingly bad for this. Stick to last gen and PC. I'm sure someone can mod it unofficially with better than Ubisoft

They cared more about the horizon than the people.

unsure to go for this or buy the Heriage collection for PS3 which is on sale for £16 decisions...

It's letting me order for PS4 even though it's oos, will they send it if they get more stock

Maybe me, having never played an Assassin's Creed game before :confused::smile:

(Heat)

If you're looking for trophies, Brotherhood is a bast for online trophies and liveliness of the servers on PS4 I've heard.

Agreed. Interested to find out more about this Egypt concept. Spent more time on the game, so I am hoping for something pretty amazing. Time shall see.

I was so looking forward to this coming out. But my heart sank when it was basically just reissued with minor changes.

Had they given it the full mashings like Cod4 remastered I'd have been like a rat up a drain pipe.

Why expired? It still lets you add to basket?

​Ruddy good job then lol

I feel like I've missed something with assassins creed. I've heard other people eulogise over how good they are but whenever I've played them it just seems like endless drudgery of wandering through crowds gently nudging people out of the way.

Not my idea of enjoyment.

Should be expired, coolshop will just cancel orders.

The story of Assassins creed from 1 to Revelations was brilliant. 2 was my fave game of last gen. Played through 6 or 7 times. Across both platforms. The 360 version was so much better.

1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations...then Syndicate for me haha!

Does anyone know if I order this at this price and the price rises before they get more stock can I be charged the higher price? Thanks.

Paid £50 for the Collectors Edition on Ubistore.

I regret nothing.

hope mine goes through!

Stock expected on Jan 25th for both PS4 and XB1. Price up to £15.95 now but still a decent price.

Showing at £15-95 now

I saw that too. I still may ordered it and just see what happens...

Ordered it anyway.

My order has been dispatched. Ordered yesterday evening long after it started showing OOS

They accepted my order from yesterday even though I order after OOS, so it looks like stock we either got lucky or a fresh load of stock is coming in just in time.

Also ordered when OOS (XB1 version), now showing dispatched.

I bought this yesterday for £15.95 on this site.

I didn't bother with the last gen so for £5 each these are definitely worth a look.

Showing back in stock now

Have not had confirmation of mine yet ??

Back in Stock of (25/10/2017), but price has moved to £15.95 (Inc. Shipping) Standard Edition

Arrived today... It's not UK stock. The case doesn't have English on it at all. :neutral_face:

Are you sure? and if possible could you attach a picture with the region code (Side of the case CUSA....)

Thanks

Sorry about the sizes of these, but here you go...

To make matters worse, when I try to play, the PS4 says it's corrupted.

Sorry to hear that :disappointed:

Have you taken a screenshot of the listing which states it as English, just in case.

Just took one now quickly. I'm not too worried but will raise it with them still. The bigger issue is it won't actually play as the PS4 keeps telling me it's corrupted.

Really not my day today, Buzz. Already had a £280 car bill this morning. :laughing:

Shame about the game case and bad luck you got a corrupted one, really bad luck as ime it's extremely rare to get a faulty factory pressed disc unless it's been really bashed around in transit, which is usually obvious from the state of the box.

Anyway, has anyone else got it yet? If so could you please start it up and start off a game to see if it has English in game?

Personally not bothered about the box text too much, but would be a showstopper if you can't even play them in English....

oh...sorry to hear that, bro. From the writing looks Norwegian, and by the sounds of it I will be returning as soon as it arrives.

Well, funny enough, the disc wasn't in place on the clip and was loose in the case. Have performed a database rebuild, cleaned the disc, disconnected from the internet and tried again and it failed again. Going to try waiting this time for longer as it seems to install AC2 and fail on Brotherhood and Revelations.

Really annoying to be honest. Case says the game is in english for what it's worth but I can't confirm just yet.



Looks like mine will be getting returned too if this doesn't work this time. Got a bit further than I did previously (got to the Ubi logo and then it froze) so fingers crossed. If it works, then I might ask for a partial refund. :smiley:

Just a heads up, I've heard back from Coolshop. Their stock got mixed up. You may still receive an English copy. If not, get in contact and you can send it back for free. Good customer service thus far. :smiley:

Had an E-mail billing me, Still no sign tho of posting

Sounds less worrying now...I guess. Did you manage to get yours working?


Yes, got the invoice also...expect it tomorrow (2-3 working days)

I received my copy today and the disc is loose in the case on mine too (also, not a UK copy). I don't think I'll bother opening it now and just send it straight back. I did ask customer service about swapping it for a UK copy, if I returned it, but they weren't sure they had any left. :disappointed:

Edit: completely botched the quote up :laughing:

I cleaned some marks off the disc (not sure how they got there) that looked like scratches. It then allowed me to play AC2 (with odd freezes on videos) but the console refused to install Brotherhood or Revelations. It's definitely faulty. Have sent mine back today asking for an English copy or refund if it's not possible. It's free returns and Customer Services will send you a link to the freepost labels too.




Probably for the best. The game is in english it appears from what I could play (not sure about subtitles mind) but without the english case, you'd never be able to trade it in. I don't think it being loose is what damaged mine, I have a feeling it was just from a bad batch. Hopefully others won't get the same problems. My PS4 was making all kinds of clicking noises trying to install it so the laser was clearly struggling. Hope your return goes well if you do decide to return it. Remember to ask for proof of postage at the Post Office just in case. :smile:

Nordic copy here as well :disappointed: Seeing biddilybah's comment above, has anyone been fortunate enough to receive a UK copy?

Are you all getting PS4 copies ? Or has anyone ordered for Xbone ?

PS4 for me.

Xbox One for me, received a Nordic copy too. Says on the box "Game in English, subtitles in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian". Presumably subtitles can be turned off. I've emailed Coolshop to see if they'll exchange for an English version.

Still not arrived :disappointed:

ive not even received my copy yet, hopefully its a english version if not its certainly going back

mines just arrived too and its the same as the picture on this page, its certainly going back, not using coolshop again

Xbox one for me as well - English on front, but foreign on back. Torn what to do! It's dirt cheap at 15£ and as long as it plays fine in English, should I be worried about the 5£ I may be able to get on trade in when I eventually finish the game in about 6 months? Decisions decisions!

Mine arrived on PS4 and it's the foreign one pictured. Still I bought the game to play, not look at the box, and I tend to hang on to games I enjoy so I'm tempted to keep it so long as the games run ok. Has anyone else who received the foreign box PS4 version tried it yet? So long as all three games play in English I think I'll hang on to it, will mention it to Coolshop though and see if a partial refund is possible since they do advertise it as a fully English game (inc case).

Doubt you will be able to trade it into Cex (for example), but possibly sell on ebay.

just to update this thread mine arrived yesterday and although it was a foreign copy too, it still worked perfectly on ps4 and all games worked fine. Game plays in English and you can turn subtitles off(don't think they are on anyway ) :smiley:

obviously if you want to sell this I don't think CEX will take it, you'd have to sell on eBay. thanks for the post as is (and still is) a good price :P. I still might push for a partial refund as it was promised to be a English copy

Thats awesome! might go and try that myself now haha. Hmm I know they had far cry primal for a good price, so I might go and pick that up if its back in stock :stuck_out_tongue:

Mine came thru today. Ps4. Disk rattling in the case. Foreign back of case

Mine came yesterday, Nordic, don't care though for that price

Yep Arrived yesterday Nordic as well.
Before I open it does anyone know if it plays alright on Xbone ??

Works perfectly - full English :smiley:

Mine arrived today...I also received a Nordic copy with the disc also being loose for some reason.
Honestly, as long as it works and plays fine...I don't mind. However, I will most likely have to sell it through eBay as is, but hardly any hassle.
