Haven't played it yet, what do you find wrong with it?
Game starts out ok, although throughout the game you aren't assassinating many people. Still much of the gameplay is fixed. You feel like the puzzles are actually exciting.
Still no truth or glyphs or any secrets like the past games had.
Then you leave Constantinople and the game just kinda takes a shit from there:
High light to see
SPOILERS:
The whole reason you played is because of Lucy being was killed in the last one, but that in no way was explained at all. Then Subject 16s big revelation from the Truth video in AC Brotherhood isn''t even mentioned. It was like it never happened.
Then the game doesn't reveal shit. You get more fucking riddles as to what happened. It is like "oh hey you found us, remember those temples we told you about in the 2nd one well you still haven't found those? You should find those"
The game is the biggest example of just milking the fucking story arc to reveal nothing. You get a big reveal and transition from the 1st game to the 2nd and a WTF ending in the second. Now you just get something that is like just a minor detail over 2 games. It is just getting boring waiting for something to happen.
More questions are asked instead of answered.

I'm quite looking forward to this game, but i've got Skyrim keeping me busy for now. I'll wait until its $30 or less.
I'd like to know, what is your opinion of the other games compared to this one. I really got into 2 and 3, and put a good amount of time into them.
1st one I thought was good. I enjoyed the difficultly and although it was only about 8-10 hours long I felt that it gave you that "oh shit" feeling when you killed someone. Even though you can counter your way out of everything my wrist was still more tired playing this than jerking off 3-4 times in one day.
Still I would have gave the first game a 7/10 merely for its short falls.
2nd one was amazing. The vast cities, the stories were incredible. Still the game was too easy. But none the less I would have gave the second one a 9/10
3rd one was merely a filler game. Although the brotherhood thing was neat it made parts far too easy and I felt like Rome wasn't nearly mapped in depth like Florance and Venice were in the 2nd one.
6/10
4th one is mainly a filler game. While some gameplay improvements are noted. Guards will shoot you if you attempt to mass counter and the difficulty is better you still are missing some of the secrets that made the game great. The portal levels and tower defense don't feel well integrated into a game like this and just when you get to some sort of progression in the story it shits all over that instead forcing you to keep accepting the bullshit that the story is just going to be dragged out. Not many revelations here.
5/10
Well, I can agree with some of this. The first game I didn't think was very good. The concept was great, but the gameplay was a joke. It was just go here, do tedious tasks to get information, kill someone, repeat 8 times. The second game was absolutely the best though. They took their good idea and added a story worth being a part of. I put over 40 hours into the game, and loved every minute of it. The third I thought was the best in design, but it was a bit lacking in gameplay. I liked that you stayed in Rome, I liked doing the side quests for the factions, and I really liked being able to call in other Assassins. I just wish there was more of it. The story was way to short. I finished the game in about 15 hours. It had the potential to be the best, and in a lot of ways it was, but it should have had twice as much story.
Sounds like this one is going to be more of the same... improved gameplay mechanics, but not a whole lot of content.
I'm a little torn about this one. I love the AC games, but I think they've milked Ezio's plotline much more than they should've.
Brotherhood and Revelations are more like large expansions instead of true sequels. Combining them probably would've made us all very happy, although I'm sure Ubisoft is just looking for a yearly cash cow.
While I totally dig the gameplay and the style of the games, it was time to finally make another "real" sequel like AC2.
Wait, we are talking about Assassin's Creed? OOH, I was thinking that a new Armored Core game was released that I didn't know about...
Okay so I got home from work and played through the ending after leaving Constantinople for the first time. Took about two hours to finish it up not doing any of the random crap, just following the pointers.
I was upset that it became predictable IE climbing the tower and it not being Sophia. Soon as I seen she was up there I knew it wasn't going to be her.
Then it was just a run here, run there, run here, run there game.
Sometimes, I think it'd almost be better if they just let you skip all the running around and just let it play out in one huge cutscene.
I don't have any intentions of finishing up the rest of the "find everything" stuff. Not worth it. I think the ending of Brotherhood was a hell of a lot more interesting then this one.
AC2 was by far the best game of the series. The first viewpoint you climb on and the way it opens up the game still gives me chills.
Soundtrack didn't feel as epic in Revelations as it did in AC2 & AC:Brotherhood
Hopefully next year they start linking up these games and bring it all together.
AC is AC... take the bad with the good, you know what you are getting. Personally, I like it. More of the same it seems in revelations... good news to my ears, because that's what I wanted. Granted, I pick them up used for around the $20 mark a few months down the line. Finished Brotherhood a few weeks back, I really liked it. I read about 6 reviews of Revelations.... bottom line I got is more of the same with a few tweaks, bombs, and the den.... just enough to add a few differences, but otherwise more of the same. I'm good with that. I thought the same damn thing with Uncharted 3. Something that is already good does not have to constantly f-ing be re-invented.
I would like to point out that I own all of the Assassins Creeds series. Chances are I'll pick up the next one next year too. I love this series and have put many hours into the four of them.
This game though was just frustrating because I was ready to see things progress, move forward, get more interesting and intense then the last ones but it just flopped.
There were plenty of things in this game that were extremely fun for me to play and see certain events unfold but in the end, its just not what I expected out of the game. Like a new COD game, same gameplay just new maps. $60 for DLC lol
Tip for tower defense, just let the templars take it over and then kill the templar coward and you save yourself an incredible amount of time. To me, that minigame is not worth it after the first "tutorial" mission. The siege weapons at the end of all the waves are seemingly impenetrable and just own your barricades... Not to mention the game stealing your camera so you can watch an assassin or templar die and everything is still running in the background. A few seconds of not doing anything can mean a lot. It was one of my pet peeves in Fallout NV as well using VATS and watching the guy die in slow mo as everything else was bearing down on you.
But I enjoyed playing Revelations. Despite its flaws. The puzzles to find the keys, with the exception of one or two, were really intense and enjoyable to play through. Plenty of filler content to make you pull your hair out trying to micromanage it all.
I loved every single game in the series. For me Brotherhood was best in terms of gameplay and I loved it so much I finished it on X360, PS3 and am almost 30% done on PC. Revelations is pre-ordered on PC and am looking forward to it. From what I have seen it sounds great. I couldn't care less about tower defense since you will always have enough money to counter attack the attackers. It is an annoyance but I don't think it will be game breaking.
Again all hypothesis unless Ubi shits on us PC gamers. Really looking forward to this game.
Because it's an excellent game. It takes everything bad about the first game and fixes it while adding in so much more.I wonder why you guys say AC2 was so good
Revelations has not been getting great reviews (compared to Brotherhood anyway)...seems like a decent game but not the best in the series...I wish they would stop with the yearly release cycle as it will water down the quality
