@saturatedbutter: The movie only tells a 'story'. That's it. No lessons, no themes - just a story. Pretty boring right? Well, only if it didn't suit the eccentric had I said so but it did suit me though. People who watch movies for the 'atmosphere' surely did like it.

I don't disagree with your analysis but this movie just wasn't for you - most likely.

@saturatedbutter: But that scene really was oscar-worthy though. Not Leonardo per se but that scene was oscar-worthy.

But man, Leonardo's oscar was long overdue. He may have got it for the wrong movie but still...

That horse archer + assassin strategy never failed to work unless in dire initial economic conditions.

When is this 'game' being released in Cinemas?

Back to School, ubisoft. Back to school.

@MigGui: Purpose is subjective. Some play for story, some for gameplay, some for the philosophy behind the game and some for something entirely else.

@d-man: Is there an obligation on me to support the developers? Nope. Gaming is not some 'romantic' hobby. At its very core, it's 'business'. It's only ethical to pay for something but when you can get something without paying for it, and it is legal too, then I don't see any reason in spending my money mindlessly. Sure if I liked the game or wanted to experience it on my own then I would go for the purchase.

In case of short adventure games, youtube is a far better companion than a digital purchase on steam; unless, as I said before, you, for some reason, want to play the game with your own hands.

Seriously, take this subservient attitude and throw it in a trash can. Improvement is the desired end-goal. Be hard to please and they'll try hard to please you. With this kind of attitude, it's only obvious how the developers will react - and it is pretty much evident too that some BIG companies are now just taking your support for granted and you're sitting there like a despairing widow, ''I WANT TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPER". Come on...

I finally read the review and with all due respect to the reviewer's opinion, let me just say, that Ubisoft still doesn't know how to make games. There's still much of that 'hand-holding' in there; what a pity that I felt like it was going away with, after, Unity but it's still fudging there! to top it off, stealth is even easier because it now tells you which enemy should you approach first. Serious question: When will I get to use my brain in an AC game? Why can't they just stop hand-holding you?

Imagine an AC game where you aren't held by your hand. Imagine. Imagine one of the best stealth game ever made. Imagine the impossibility.
