because its a bad game
Why? I thought it was actually pretty good but anything below mediocre seems a bit false to me. I can't take people seriously if they say that this game is below mediocrity cos it's not as bad as Brotherhood or Revelations though it's not as good as two...1) no dodge ability
2) no block, only counters, along with enemy classes that can't be countered.
3) enemy AI programmed to spam attack the second you try to attack
4) removed full sprint, meaning you can't actually out run enemies anymore
5) removed ziplines
6) no more grapple other than human shields
7) did I mention how broken and dumbed down the combat system is?
8) lack of places for good free running
9) the fort capture system went from "oh look, an outpost, lets stealthily sneak in via free running/wall climbing and neutralize the commander" to "herp derp you have to charge in the front door using our broken combat system"
10) enemy AIs that detect and attack you way too easily.
11) over all, much shorter than the previous installments.
12) for whatever reason, ubisoft has decided to try and make the game into -blam!- farmville with all the homestead -blam!-.
13) no rewards for progression. It used to be "congratulations, you killed these guys, so here's better armor and new weapons." now its "good job, you advanced the story, have fun playing farmville on the homestead."
need I go on?
I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. It's not a game for hardcore battle. It's simply telling a story of what already happened. You can't affect any of it, and those abilities don't much matter at all in the game.
Try mortal kombat if you want uber moves.
Although, I do agree the homestead stuff is just retarded. It could have gone somewhere, but it's like they just said "-blam!- it, good enough" and sold it.but I'm not talking about uber moves, I'm talking about things that were already in the game and made the combat system work that got removed. They dumbed it down from "block then counter/dodge/grab break when you're being attacked, and attack/break guard/disarm/grapple when you aren't, and dealing with different enemy classes each required different maneuvers" to "press B when you see the red triangle, press X or A when you don't, and hope you don't get attacked by a grenadier or commander class, otherwise you're -blam!-, because you can't counter them or outrun them anymore." Even if they're just telling a story with the game, there was no need to remove those things from them.
