I hate this game, that is just the honest truth of it.
I am not one of those people that just doesn't like the series, I liked ac1, I consider ac2 to be one of the most improved sequels I have ever played and remains one of my favourites, I loved Brotherhood as much as 2, I though Revelations was the weaker of the games at that point but still better than 1, and I liked AC3 at the time but understood many of the complaints.
Blag Flag is one of my favourite games of all time.
This game... Just feels wrong on ever level. The controls and movement feel off, the city feels too cluttered, the combat is awful and too punishing for my tastes when you cannot see when to to parry because enemies lunge at you from off screen, but it's the being shot at through smoke and crowds while zig-zagging through said crowd that pushed it over the edge for me. I found the first few mission to be clunky and unfun and can't be bothered to continue past sequence 3. The gameplay just isn't fun. This is, of course, just my opinion but I can't help it...
