It would have been nice to see Batman Origins here.

I really can't force myself to agree on a 6. It's a great game, beautifully made, with a huge world and much attention paid to details. I loved the exploitation of Batman's and Joker's relation, too. Clearly the reviewer didn't spent a lot of time truly playing the game; otherwise, I'm sure a higher score would be given.

@FiddleJohnny yes. thank you.

@Samparksh I'm afraid you're right. Ubisoft will make a lot of money before everyone finally decides the franchise is not worth their cash, or time.

@Samparksh I've lost all faith in AC franchise. It's about money. ACIII's sales were very impressive, especially since Ubisoft lost money in 2012. They're in a big hurry to recuperate from those loses it seems and it's a natural thing to do to exploit a profitable direction. Hence the purchasable DLCs, and hence another, very similar game in the franchise. They're playing it safe.

I'm not sure if that's the best path, though, because if ACIV proves to be a pirate game, I surely won't buy it.

@cyberarmy also, that's hardly a "new setting"...

Pass. It seems like Black Flag will be even less "assassiny" than the III part. Not into pirates nor sea battles. I don't like this new direction.

India sounds great. I thought of Paris a couple of days ago, but decided it would be too mainstream. America was. I really liked the less known locations (I loved Constantinopole, it was so exotic and new). I actually learned a lot from AC2 series. Not so much from AC3.
