You have no idea how much I want to love this game. You have no idea how many things this game does right, and how when everything works perfectly, the game is one one of the best in the series. However, there are MANY problems that hold the game back, and frustrate me to no end.
Firstly, the bugs. For some reason I cannot get my fucking character to stop running! This is frustrating, because it means instead of opening a chest, he'll run up a wall. Because the game is so based on fucking context sensative button presses (games that do this should get 3 points taken off their overall score.) it means that I can't hide in bushes, I can't loot bodies, nor can I hide them, sometimes I can't open doors, or go in shops, or do FUCKING ANYTHING the game requires of me. Seriously, this is annoying. I JUST WANT MY CHARACTER TO STOP RUNNING WHEN I TAKE MY FINGER OFF THE FUCKING RUN BUTTON! Is that too much to ask? There are so many goddamn bugs in this game it's beyond a joke.
Next, there's the missions. Some of these are pure genious and a lot of fun. Others are tedious pieces of shit that require large amounts of trial and error with limited checkpointing. Some missions give you no fucking direction at all. They're all like do this thing that we haven't told you about yet. Yeah, we'll give you a tutorial for this mechanic in about an hour. And that tutorial will go for an hour. After you've worked it out in this mission. Because we're kitten raping pedophiles. Also, can I stop fucking following people? I got sick of doing this is the first assassins creed, so it shouldn't be a fucking series staple. It's boring as shit.
Now... I've ranted and raved about the bad things. Everything else in the game is pretty awesome. I haven't liked an Ass Creed game since 2, so the fact that I'm enjoying this is a testament. The naval combat is awesome. The game looks stunning. The fact that Desmond is dead fills my heart with joy, and the fact that we spend fuck all time outside of the animus is the best design choice of all. Oh, and the characters are pretty decent. Except one guy, who's like hardcore racist, asking why you'd give a negro a gun, and then all of a sudden he forgets he's racist and he's best friends with a black man. I mean wtf? You're racism was interesting and understandable given the times you live in. A whole narrative arc could have been drawn from that, but no, that would be too much effort from a company that fixed it's solar flare issue with a magic fucking button.
