Hey there everybody, just thought i'd report in. I'm a huuuge ac fan and I hate to say how dissapointed and heartbroken I am after playing revelations. I saw this happen with the matrix, amazing first movie, then other ppl step in n you get reloaded n revolutions. The same thing happened here, somebody saw a good thing NEY, an AMAZING thing which was ac1 & 2, and even brotherhood, and decided, well, we cant have this series be thie awesome anymore. So we're going to kill every major thing about it that people love so they forget about it. They killed Altairs presence in this game. Ac1 he was a BADASS n not just his voice, his movements, his attitude, and NONE of that was brought back for acr. I felt like they imported hercules and slapped an altair skin on him. The way he talked was completely out of character, his attitude was completely wrong, the fighting style wasnt his, UGH.

Next we have desmond, who up untill this point was focused on the 2012 conspiracies being fed info from subject 16 and also learning about the assassin/templar war. He was meant to be US, the representation of OUR point of view on what is going on with the war here. But instead the writers have decided to make a movie within the ac world and are messing everything up, n hate to say it, are pulling a star wars prequel trilogy on us. Messing with things and expanding to much to the point where assassin's creed is just that, in name only.

As for 16 himself, his character was completely wrong in acr, the guy in that game ISNT 16 by any means, and I feel that they did this to stop all the info getting out about politics etc. I dunno, take what you will from that.

They killed Lucy also in a really cold sterile way story wise, just felt so numb with the way they treat her in acr. Havign said that, theyre might be a plan to bring her back in the next installment so who knows, but the point is from the begining all the reps from ubisoft have been stating that ooo all ur questions will be answered bla bla n its all turned out to be nothing but LIES to make us buy their product knowing full well theyre falsely advertising this as somthing that it wasnt.

They mislead fans to think that info about lucy would be revealed in the desmond journey trailer...nothing was revealed.

They mislead us about altair being in constantinople...he wasn't.

They mislead us about 16's involvement in the game...pretty much nonexistant.

Mislead us about the style of gameplay desmond would be experiencing..instead we get cheap tetris/portal style gameplay that the ps1 could have pulled off better.

I'm just so frustrated and angry how theyve taken one of the most amazing storys out there right now n chopped it up n took away all the things that made it special. UBISOFT, you MUST learn from this. You have made BIG mistakes with the making of ACR and I hope you're aware of this.

Misleading your fanbase like this is really not a good thing to do, I'm tired of hearing you make empty promises about this franchise. We all love it, but the reasons why are being cheapened by you more and more. You really need to start listening to us, I MEAN REALLY LISTENING TO US.

As a whole I'm seeing the fans giving this game a negative review and I sadly agree with them, tho there are some things that are amazing in this game, and the ending did affect me n shed a manly tear, you wasted an amazing oppurtunity to flush out the story and make something epic, instead u poop out revelations and flush it down the toilet.

Sorry to rant guys, I just needed to get out how dissapointed I am with this latest installment. I know they can do better, hell AC1 proves they got it right from the get go (the feel and story). I feel very let down and I know I'm not alone.
