I agree. I had no problems with the main Ezio storyline. It felt great, and looking back, it fit well for Ezio in his old age. I really liked it, apart from some things that I would have done differently, but that applies to every game.

Though about your high expectations, I don't necessarily agree that it was your own fault. I do realize that they weren't able to put everything in, but The Secret Crusade was partially intended as promotional material for Revelations. So everyone was right to expect to see the events detailed in the novel. Seeing them portrayed differently was confusing and disappointing indeed. And the Desmond memories... well, in the Desmond's Journey trailer we saw gameplay from a third person perspective, so Ubisoft led us to higher expectations than was intended. I really wouldn't blame yourself for having higher expectations, but rather Ubisoft.

But that doesn't mean the game was bad. If you judge the game without baring those higher expectations in mind, it was a good game.
