But a main-character which I do liked was Haytham. He was, for me, far more interesting and a better character than Conner.
But my problem with Haytham is that, like Vaas in Far Cry 3 (another Ubisoft title from 2012, coincidence) that I didn't hate him. I didn't want to murder him, I wanted him to stay alive.

I agree he was a much better and cooler character. I didn't want him murdered either.

I really hope the next Assassins Creed (if there is one) can step up to the plate. It would be really interesting to see an Assassins Creed in the beginning of early civilizations. But thats just me ;)

I have a feeling that the next Assassin's Creed will take place in the French Revolution, with Connor again. His conversation with Lafayette seemed to be hinting to that. Lafayette also seemed like one of the only guys Connor trusted. The setting has potential, and Connor still has potential. They could have him looking for a new life since everyone he cared about is gone and the manor is thriving. He takes up Lafayette's offer, travels to France, and gets caught up in the Revolution. Plus, they could add a love interest, because he had to be married at some point.

I want more Middle Ages, without the bloody Crusades. Then, there'd be a lot of assassinations.

Am I the only one wanting an Assassin's Creed in the modern day? Besides, I wonder who is going to pop into the Animus.

It was almost as good as AC II

That's what I thought ACIII would have in large amounts.

That was a disappointment...

I didn't expect it to have such missions at first but the more I played, the more I wondered. After a point, I wished it had more missions in the modern day world. I was disappointed as well.

I despised the modern missions. Dragging me out of the fun historical setting like badly smelted metal.

It is true that if you want to play a modern day stealth action game, you don't pick up Assassin's Creed. Most of my friends disliked these missions. However its really a personal belief, you can't just ask why somebody likes/dislikes these quests.

As all the other guys, I played this for the story.

It didn't disappoint me - much.

The story practically was: 3 guys who either tried getting their honor back, vengeance, justice, seeking answers, or freedom/protecting their "people", all three of them did all they could from their early twenties to fourties-fifties, and after eliminating all threat, they had an encounter with the First Civilization telling them that they were mere pawns who have done their work so their descendant from the future could get a message but die to save the world because he ran out of time since those three guys and their respective alliances spent too much time fighting that no time was left to stop the apocalypse.

TL;DR: Their lives were just a waste, and none of them were actually remembered in the future, and being an Assassin is the job of an unemployed person who knows his way with a sword and how to climb. Optional: He should be crazy, like Connor.

And for all the achievement players, they had to go through a 17 minutes long credits to get the end achievement.

I really adored the new features, although the lack of recruiting new assassins, and you could only have 6 of them, and how did you earn them? Why, by liberating parts of New York and Boston of course! And I don't think you can customize their appearances either, although being able to give them contracts on-the-run was a good feature.

Naval warfare was a great feature, so was hunting.

I can't type more, although I seem to have a reply for every question/argument raised.

I'll try when I can.
