It's the whipping boy of this new iteration of the graphics engine, much like AC3 was to the last one. That, and Ubisoft can't make a good AC game during any revolution if their lives depended on them.

First we had an Altair-esque "stoic" character with Connor. Now we had the Ezio-esque, even in clothing, upper class puckish rogue Arno. Both fell flat on their face, one more than the other.

And it's still hilarious that Rogue, which was really conceived as a throw-away and cash squeeze from last gen consoles, ended up being the proper AC game of 2014, despite its low production budget. And Shay was without a doubt a better character than Arno.
