Yeah I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the gameplay video demos showing some of the naval stuff and land stuff I thought it might be worth checking out. The funny thing is, the water spouts, which were one of the things that looked interesting, I've rarely seen so far. There's just so much good stuff in the game it doesn't need any one dynamic to carry it.
I also think they've achieved a good balance between complexity of content, and RPG features, without over complicating it like previous titles as far as crafting and upgrades. It's sort of an AC meets Far Cry 3, but it definitely works. I don't know why, but this game isn't being talked about much on forums though. It's as if after a certain number of sequels people just assume they're bad.
I'd go so far as to say this is one of my fave AC games, right up there with the venerable AC2.
