I got this for Christmas and hell. So far, this sucks. I played through AC2 and Brotherhood and enjoyed the first of these quite a bit more than the other, but still, good stuff. So far I haven't enjoyed this one single bit.
- The graphics were outdated already, so why reuse it? Have they even made any new movement patterns (villagers walking and avoiding you etc) or just changed the buildings and clothes? Like someone mentioned the shadings are seriously off sometimes. They don't look right and they often point completely wrong.
- The main character is the most stony bastard I've seen. I don't want him to win, I want him to get hit by a carriage and drown in the mud. I also don't like how he seems to be a full-fledged assassin from the very start, it makes very little sense to me to do it this way. Not that I want AC2 all over again, it's just that you get no chance to build a connection with a character who's a superman from the beginning.
- Mum walked in when Benjamin Franklin went on about why older women are preferable in bed. Oofah.
- Shaun's humor in the Animus has reached it's lowest point ever, and that's saying a lot. I used to read through all of the place and person descriptions and now I just avoid them. I get that part of the joke is that he should be annoying but this is way beyond my pain threshold.
- It lags and I've died twice because of bugs already. Once on the ship he just went straight up into the air, fell down and died. The other time he went through a wall and somehow got sucked into oblivion I guess. Also, when the Captain on the ship spoke, his mouth was closed. All the time. I honestly thought someone else was doing his talking all the time like some kind of weird puppet joke. But there just seems to be something wrong with my game.
I'm hoping for a better gaming session.. maybe tomorrow. So far though, it has not reached my modest expectations.
