Yeah, I am not a huge fan of Desmond either, but I am really curious to see where this game goes, especially with the end of Brotherhood. I was wondering if the official AC III game with have another ancestor or strictly be Desmond in 2012. Where Brotherhood ended, I now feel as if there will be another ancestor. My issue is with the core gameplay in the future, such as firearms becoming a more prominent part of battle as we already saw in Brotherhood.
For those who want to play the game, maybe not read the following, haha.
I was quite pissed off with some of the story. It was clearly not as strong as AC II as it was more random and disjointed in my opinion. Also, there were a lot of questions unanswered. One of the things I was looking forward to the most was when Desmond had the vision of Ezio as an older man in the Assassin's shrine. Maybe the only thing with that was him drawing the code, but I was really hoping we would see that as Ezio because the vision Desmond has was Ezio looking at the statues.
I was also annoyed with the massive skip between Ezio going to find Cesare. What the fuck. Maybe future DLC's will clear this stuff up, but I was definitely disappointed. I loved AC II. It is probably my favourite game, so this was a small letdown although the gameplay is still great.
Another small thing and I am not sure if anyone else cares as much as me, ha, but we never found out why Ezio's little brother collected the feathers. I collected all of them in AC II and we only received a very small scene of Ezio's mother breaking her silence. I collected them all in Brotherhood and absolutely nothing happened. Pretty aimless to have them in Brotherhood.
BlueSky, have you tried the multiplayer? I have only played wanted and I must admit, it is really fun. I enjoy it quite a lot other than the fucking hidden gun that people love to use. That is about the only problem I have with the multiplayer.
