1:COMBAT (more fluid, more weapons, better animations)
2: BIGGER WORLD (more exploration, animals, swim, dive etc.)
IS WORSE EVERY YEAR IN:
1: LEAD CHARACTERS (from Renaissance man "EZIO" to white trash "Edward")
2: CHARACTERS (from "historical figures everybody knows since he was a child" to "people he might have heard of but does not really care if does know them")
3: STORY (From "World Order Conspiracy" to "your money or your life")
4: LOCATIONS (From "places you visit fro culture" to "places you visit fot hookers")
PLUS: I HATE THE HORSE IN AC GAMES, THEY KEPT THE SAME HORSE RIDING SYSTEM SINCE THE FIRST GAME, NO IMPROVMENT WHATSOEVER.
THEY SHOULD GO AND PLAY "READ DEAD REDEMPTION" AND SEE HOW A HORSE SHOULD FEEL LIKE.
@5w33tL1k3L3m0n5 I agree with everything, part from the naval battles, I believe in AC3 they were just a beta for the AC4, there was no reason to put it in but they did just to test it for the next game. In AC3 there was also the '"new" aiming system which was pointless since you could not miss, in AC4 they put a free aiming and you can shoot head, torso, legs or even miss.
What I am trying to say is that AC3 was a beta for AC4...
