I have taken some time with it, and feel like I have just scratched the surface and can't wait to enjoy this game for hours on end. This game is one that needs to be experienced and soaked up at an in depth pace.
In response to the micro transactions, here's an idea.actually play through the game and earn your gear. The story has a familiar feel to when we first met Ezio as opposed to Kenway, but it is fun to play through his progression. The characters are the best I have seen in the new generation consoles (although it seems that producing realistic hair is going to be a continued challenge). The landscapes are massive and beautiful. It took a few attempts to get used to it, but it is pretty easy once you get there. For veteran Creed players, there is a small learning curve because intuitively, you just want to run head on into walls to jump up, but there are now specific controls to do so.
Trust me.there were a lot more control issues in black flag (how many times did you have to restart a mission because you fell to your death trying to descend a large mast?) and unity provides a much smoother experience than previous games. The control schematic people have complained about is actually very sound. When I play AAA games, I love to see if I am going to get bored quickly, and in Unity, there is plenty to do. I have noticed some minor glitches running through the crowds (sometimes people further away appear from seemingly nowhere) but frankly it seems to serve as a subtle reminder that I am in the animus and there is a bigger game being played around me. In the first hour of the game, I have bounced off and worked through thousands of citizens, and it doesn't feel too cluttered. I recall in previous versions of the game that the further you progressed, the more people you would have to navigate through. The first thing I noticed was that there are a lot of people, everywhere you go. I wanted to see if it truly plays like a next gen game and it does.very well. And since I have played EVERY iteration of the series, I was looking at Unity from a different perspective.
