Whoever marketed it like that was a fucking idiot.
You read my thoughts exactly. I came to reply with that sentence in my head.
And AssCreed? In my book literally *everything* that came after part one was milking the cash cow, just as all the mindfuck with 'dream yourself back into your ancestors' stuff was just a bad excuse to leave the 'to be continued' door open a tiny gap. I mean, especially the multiplayer in Brotherhood is nothin than a tacked on piece of shit. That thing maybe would've been sufficient in the golden era of Halflife Deathmatch - but 2K10+? Bitch, please. Running around, stabbing people may *sound* like it' true to the bones of AC... but that leaves out the stealth as WELL as the parcour part, which both literally defined the singleplayer gameplay. "Go for a walk - and while you're at it, kill someone. Rewind and repeat for 15 minutes." Hoofuckingray. Has written silent assassin written all over it. Not. *bleh* I'm so glad I never wasted my money on the follow-ups. AC1 was fun. Repetitive, but entertaining. It should've ended there.
