There was nothing new in the game
Desmond sections? Altair missions? Expanded multiplayer modes? The improvements made to Eagle sense? Defending Assassin dens? The improved sequences to recover Altair's seals? Hookblade?
execpt the ability to make bombs (which are totally useless, i think i only used one throughout my playthrough)
Granted, I found them pretty useless but only because I decided to forgo experimenting with them in favour of moving fowards with the story. I'ma go back and try to incorperate them into my attack style next.
and the story doesnt tell us anything at all. Its way to complicated and the ending was just terrible.
May I ask... since when has the AC series story ever been simple? It's not like the series has a reputation or anything for having "wtf" cliffhanger endings that make no sense or anything and make you shout at the screen "YOU CAN'T END IT THERE!"... oh, wait. AC, AC:II, AC:B anyone?
I have a feeling that ubisoft made this game to please the hardcore AC fans because the story doesnt progress at all.
So harcore fans aren't interested in the story? You assume they're in it for the gameplay then. But wait, you just claimed there were no improvements made to gameplay... so by your definiton, why d'you think Revelations would make the "hardcore" fans happy? Surely they're (assuming 'they' exist and are a separate to the rest of us AC fans) the ones who'd want to see the series expand and improve the most, since they're "hardcore" and have likely invested the most time in playing it?
Also... Ezio's and Altair's stories progressed quite a bit, didn't they? I mean, I guess if you were under the impression the modern day story was going to progress then you'd've been disappointed.
did anyone else felt like i did after completing it?
You can probably tell, I was fairly satisfied with it. That isn't to say I don't have any criticisms... I think it's far from perfect, if I'm honest. I'd've liked the modern story to have progressed a bit further, I couldn't believe they ended it where they did... so close, and yet so far from a resolution. But I think they did Altair's story justice, and I think they did Ezio's story justice... and looking at it, I'd much rather have had closure on that first before moving on, than leave it where we did at the end of Ezio's part in Brotherhood and got a bit further with the modern storyline. I mean, it makes sense that the game where Desmond prevented/tries to prevent the 2012 disaster was going to be one that
actually came out in 2012... if anything, that'll make it more exciting.
I love the Desmond's Journey part as well, they fleshed Desmond's character out a lot in that... I guess in some ways, I've always felt closer to Ezio because we'd seen so much of his life, seen the things that made him who he was, understood his motivations... we never had that closeness with Desmond, we knew very little of his life before Abstergo, and I liked that Revelations bridged that gap. I feel like I understand Desmond better too, now. I'm sad I can't say the same for 16 though... I was really
really hoping we'd learn more about him it this one, it seemed the perfect chance... but eh. Maybe Ubisoft's still keeping that one up their sleeve? And while the Desmond sections were awesome, I still don't think they fully explored the concept of being in the guts of the Animus... I think they could've done a lot more with that opportunity. But again, maybe that's something they're going to do later. Who knows.
I'm not so enamoured by the series that I can't see what you're saying... but I think maybe you did let the hype get the better of you. Maybe you should judge and enjoy the game for what it is, not how well it holds up against what you
wanted it be :\ In any case, Revelations was intended to be a bridge game, a purpose which it more than fufills. And maybe it's just me, but Constantinople is probably my favourite city so far. I loved the way it blends together the atmospheres of AC:I and AC:II/B... I could wander the city for hours (in fact, I have~) and not require any actual missions to keep me occupied :3
But again, maybe that's just me.
