I fucking hate it. Some of the mission designers could go suck a dick. While I was super excited to move forward on the Desmond story the game itself is aggravating. Fast travel barely exists anymore so you're left hiking 5 minutes to a mission only to complete the mission to find out your target is not there.
Then you got missions like chase down Hickey where the first time I caught up to him I bumped him down only to have the "don't knock anybody over" optional mission fail. So I chase him thinking he'll arrive in a dead end alley and there will be a cut seen. Nope I chased him in the same loop 3 times before realizing this shit is endless I need to tackle him. So it turns out you need to tackle him is a special way which 9/10 time fails meaning you don't get 100% Sync.
If you could wait... don't buy it until it's on sale. I find myself angrily going through the story hoping to finally finish the game. If I could just have all the cuts scenes with the context in between I wouldn't have bought the game knowing what I know now.
250, your review pretty much confirm that this is a Assassin Creed game not an FPS.. Thanks captain obvious.
Looking forward to play.
