Once again, it really seems that this game was made as a filler for some quick cash. I mean it really, really feels it was artificially lengthened. You get notorious for renovations = you spend time reducing that. You get higher apprentice level cap = you spend more time sending them on mission to max them out. You get 2 parter quests for them to actually max out, also for nothing else than more artificial lengthening that doesn't really have anything to do with the story.

I mean what, first memory of the first sequence is a cgi trailer-made-intro, and nothing else. Second memory is actual gameplay. What. Seriously, what. Where's the goddamn proper memory followed by a landscape view and game title coming in from two previous games?

On the plus side, there's the fact you can max out the income right off the bat. Literally, I had everything renovated, challenges done and apprentices maxed when I took a break before first memory of third sequence. This kind of freedom without Animus forcefields is a plus. Kind of stupid that Arsenal was walled off with one though, and so I couldn't get the tenth memoir page for Pasha's armor. Not that it would make a difference, since both it and Master Assassin one is ugly as hell, and I'll stick to Sepahi set.
