I think this one is the best out of all of them. I didn't find ezio to be interesting after 2 that was the old one I found him interesting in and maybe a little bit of brotherhood. Revelations was just completely unplayable for me. It took me the full year to beat that game I finished it about a week before 3 came out. This one had the best setting IMO and one of the most interesting characters. I don't get why people hate this one so much.

I would've like Revelations better if Altair was included more, maybe it they had made it half and half. Ezio's story wasn't that epic so having flashbacks to Altair more often would have been better.
As for your question, I have no clue. This game is amazing. I enjoy it very much. The frontier is amazing. It's a great change from being stuck in a crowded city for the whole game. The colonies are good too. Story line always catches my attention. I think a lot of people didn't wait for the updates and jumped right into playing a game with some major flaws at release. I waited it out for the updates and just recently started playing and the only thing out of the ordinary is I get a random map marker that automatically pops up. I pull up my map and click it and it's gone. Doesn't bother me a bit. I've been taking my time playing the game and I enjoy every bit of it. I have no clue why this game gets hated on. People are so over expecting that they just have to complain about something I guess.
People also complain about Connor's character. I've read that some don't like his dialogue or his actions. I think Connor is a great character, because it makes sense with him being raised in an Indian tribe, with no clue how to interact with the outside world. His attitude is natural. If he would be cool calm and collected and a people person THEN I'd have something to complain about.

I agree with just about everything you posted I played the game the day it came out and finished it like,2 or 3 days later and while I encountered bugs and glitches I never encountered anything game breaking. And I think revelations would have been the best if they had switched ezio and Altairs involvement. Like had you mainly playing as Altair and then have flash forwards where you play as ezio and his parts are the parts where you get the keys for Altairs library. I found Altairs story to be much much MUCH more interesting then ezios his was boring and not interesting at all.

I think the main reason is just series fatigue. That and for some reason a lot of people got mad that the game took place in America.

I don't understand why people would get mad at that. I think the setting is the coolest out of all of them.

Because they think it's cool to hate on anything American, so they just blindly hate it. In reality it is a great setting though. So much better than a bunch of open cities with nothing in between, not that those were terrible.

Because colonial America, interesting as it is as a setting, doesn't have the architecture to really make the free-running sections work. And the frontier is glitchy.

To be honest, the architecture of Boston and New York makes for much more fluid free-running than Constantinople did. The architecture in Revelations was a complete mess. Buildings of wildly different heights and proportions all grouped together, sky bridges everywhere, and the occasional Templar Gun Box with full 180 degree vision thrown in.
AC3's layout was much easier to comprehend. In Revelations, and occasionally in Brotherhood, you'd be left wondering whether you were considered to be on the 'rooftops' or not.

That happens when you highlight an objective on the map which you then complete, causing the objective marker to disappear. The custom marker you placed on that objective is relocated to the middle of the map. I'm not sure why it doesn't just disappear, but that's why a random marker will pop up in the centre of the map every now and then.

This one has very good combat apart from the shooting and amazing graphics and story but i hated the Frontier it was very boring Connor i know he has only starred in one game he wasn't interesting to me and Boston and New York were not very exciting ethier, My Opinion.

I expected better, especially after the strong reviews.
- Combat is boring. What was acceptable a few years ago is less acceptable now, especially when competitors like Batman Arkham have done so well.
- Worst main character(s) in the series. (I'm including the character you play in the intro.)
- Tediously long and boring intro. Come on Ubi, this isn't our first AC.
- So much backtracking and busywork, such as not enough fast travel spots in the Frontier, convoy management, and unnecessary city underground sections which added nothing to the game. They could have let you unlock fast travel from above ground too.
On the plus side, the naval combat was awesome. I loved that.
On the whole, not a terrible game, rather it didn't meet my expectations, which I think were reasonable.
