@blitxxx1981: The bugs are almost entirely gone. There might be some weird clipping issues every once in a while, but other than that, it's fine. As for the game itself, I thought it might be the most fun I've had with the series on a gameplay level. Everything is fine tuned, and the ability to fight and specialize with different weapons was a great addition. I really liked fighting with heavy weapons, which turns me off in most games. The customization options were cool, and unlocking costumes and stuff felt like it had a real purpose outside of being a time killer. But my favorite part was that the side missions were a step up from most games. At the risk of being shouted down, I thought many of them were on the level of Witcher 3 side quests. I loved the Sherlock Holmes-like investigations and some of the heists. Money is actually useful, so getting a big payday from a perfectly executed mission felt rewarding. Then, without giving too much away, there are these fracture things that allow "time travel" in the animus and some of the time periods were very interesting. They all take place in Paris if I remember correctly, at some important times in the city's history.
The modern day story is still terrible, which AC3 ruined imo, but luckily it's stripped way back and isn't really important. Other than that, the game is a lot of fun and only gets the hate because of the terrible launch, which is deserved I guess. I bought it a year later as the complete edition, and never had to deal with it. I recommend it highly if you're a fan of the series.
@darthbluntsaber: yeah, I thought Brandon Routh was a perfect replacement for Christopher Reeve. He kind of proves it in his role on Legends of Tomorrow. Superman Returns was just incredibly boring though. And say what you will about Kevin Spacey, but he was the best part of that movie.
you do realize that almost every major actor in hollywood today has been in a superhero movie, right? Even the ones who haven't have been in big blockbusters that might as well be called superhero movies.
@pankajdoharey: yes, anyone interested in the adult cartoon genre who hasn't at least tried SP is missing something special. Archer too. That show deserves so much more love than I see it get.
@ahsanh: yep, only 2.5 billion years of it. It's hard to uproot that kind of teaching. And boy do I love being a straight white male. It's not privilege, it's an honor. I mean, Charlie Sheen levels of winning over here.
