It's a great game. The story is well driven, the characters are interesting, the gameplay is great, and the fighting and assassinating is much better than odyssey. People are only complaining because the main player base is getting older and falling into their nostalgic pits refusing to accept the change this game brings. Yeah I'll admit the world seems a bit less interactive than the older games, but I honestly prefer it because I'm not chasing around 150 flags or 100 bird feathers or something like that. And I like the new any armor you like can be upgraded to be good system. The game is really good, don't listen to the bitter people and try it yourself. Like I said, so many people get so caught up in the nostalgia of assassin's creed 2 or whatever there favorite was that they forget to keep an open mind and just enjoy it. Definitely one of my favorite installments. I say keep it up ubisoft, keep polishing each story and making each game new and interesting. most of us got bored of games like call of duty or tony hawk's pro skater because it was the same game every year, now people want to complain that they are making assassin's creed games different? Can't get past your nostalgia she'll? Then play the old games and stop trying to put the rest of us down for liking the new ones. Nuff said.
