Considering Ubisoft is trying to maintain the late October launch window of Assassin's Creed games, on new hardware no less, "too much work" seems like a passable--albeit weak-- excuse. Especially if they want to get a female character right, as opposed to a token one to satiate the masses.
The next iteration in the series, however, should have no such excuse. An actual reason, as opposed to a half-hearted excuse, should be used in lieu.
@lugpoints ?????????????????????????????????If you're complaining about no Xbox controller support on a PC, then you're doing it wrong. Get an Xbox and use your Xbox controller on that.
