AC story was not that deep nor was it interesting either IMO. I felt that developers tried too hard to be deep and thought provoking, but it ended up just being really corny with nothing original to say.
For example, before each assassination they kept stressing(hammering me over the head) how each assassination target is a very bad person. Every time I killed this person, I was treated to pseudo philosophical mumbo jumbo which boils essentially down to this person saying "I am not that bad as you I am and all my deeds are for the greater good. You just do not see it". They used this same set up over and over.
I am sorry, but this is not compelling storytelling to me. I have actually felt insulted by whole thing. Do they really think that I will not comprehend their "deep" story unless they spell it out for me in this fashion? Additionally, I do not find this idea of grey morality a revelation either.
I also love the fact that they put the banner stating that this game was made by people with various religious backgrounds and beliefs when the game starts. Who cares there is nothing new or controversial about their ideas. It is just pretencions on their part to think that IMO.
The SF element was more interesting, but there was not enough of it(I guess they are saving it for sequels).
