I also think AC:R was made just not to have a hole in annual releases line. It has very little content compared to previous games. AC2 had beatups, assassination contracts, races and couriers + Tomb Missions. AC:B had many courtesan, mercenary and thief missions + Romulus Lairs. AC:R has only 2 faction missions, no lair missions except Impaler's prison (I'm not taking core memories into consideration), quite a number of assassin training missions + sh*tty bomb tutorial missions, which are much too easy and seem to be aimed for total newbies.
