For a game that calls itself an "assassin" game it really doesn't feel like an assassin game to begin with. Hence why I stopped bothering with the game after AC II.

I mean you got him crashing onto the battlefield and single-handly taking out a platoon and then axing the leader and then you got naval battles...I mean what?
I meant in terms of supporting/side characters. In fact, not counting ignorable homestead characters, I don't believe there's a single female character outside of your mother with more than 5-10 lines in this game. Maybe the wise-woman of your village.

And, yes, there are a few forced stealth missions (failure on detection), but when it isn't enforced, it's far easier to just wade in and press counter, attack or counter, break until there are a pile of bodies around you. Brute force should be the harder path, and nigh near impossible, with stealth and actual assassination rewarded. There's never been an easier AC game than AC 3. Which, if the story wasn't complete shite, I wouldn't have minded so much.

It feels like years since they've been updated, btw.
Also, cake.
