This game was biggest disappointment of the year so far for me personally.

Elaborate....
I actually was wondering if anyone felt the same way as me & well your post just about summed it up. I hate this game, but find myself playing it because I am a fan of the series.I'll preface this by saying that I'm a massive AC fanboy because I really enjoy the whole Ancient Aliens/Desmond storyline and it was probably the first true Next-Gen IP that I grew to like.
But I felt like this game was a massive step backwards from AC2/ACB/ACR. Extremely repetitive (which is expected of an AC game but still), Connor was as boring as a cardboard box, and I don't know how to explain it, but I felt that his storyline/character was completely pointless and I became extremely frustrated with his motives/character. Achilles had a lot to do with this as well. Horrible characters. I just didn't like Connor all that much, especially when Haytham was a more well rounded and personable individual.
Like others have said in this thread, I had absolutely NO desire to pursue side quests or purchase new weaponry/equipment. I don't even think I entered a general store, unless I was forced to do so by a mission. The underground tunnels were extremely stupid, why even have branching paths to explore that are completely empty? Or why have Fast Travel locations, when I can fast travel to the Harbormasters and Exit map locations without going to the bother of walking around empty tunnels. They could've made some of those like the underground/secret missions in AC2/ACB/ACR, but they were ultimately useless. Hunting was pointless. Naval combat was a chore and I did not enjoy it, I don't see why everyone is praising it as a game saving feature. I disliked it immensely. The map itself was a chore to traverse and I don't know why they changed it, but in the previous games, the viewpoints would open up and clear the "fog of war" on the areas of the map that you hadn't visited yet. They didn't do that in this game, which was extremely annoying and I had no desire to explore those uncharted areas, because it would just lead to more boring crap.
The free-running controls were horrible, I don't know many times during a chase sequence I got stuck on a 2 foot tall incline, or running up a tree trunk when I was supposed to advance to the next branch. Riding a horse in this game was an absolute nightmare. Combat was fast-paced and exciting, and I spent most of the game starting riots and purposely attacking guards just so I could fight 10-20 at a time. But after playing stuff like Arkham City the gadget integration and combos could've been more thought out and implemented better. Having to open a menu that completely breaks immersion just to change from a pistol to my rope-dart thingy halfway through a 20 man battle royale is just
I haven't talked about the Desmond missions yet, but it felt like they gave those whole portions of the game to the work experience kids to complete. Those maps were ugly, the characters were ugly and they felt like tacked on afterthoughts.
Having said all that, I didn't experience a single bug the whole time I played, but I guarantee if I did, I would've hated it even more

I stayed up till 3am the other night just to finish this thing so that I never have to play it again.
So this game is what I thought it was (Coach Green) . AC Revelations was so bad that I hated myself for finishing it. Sounds like this new game is the same. I do want to see what happens to Desmond and what everything means but I'm not sure I want to buy this game, maybe i'll just youtube it.
My sentiments exactly except I didnt finish Revelations, I couldnt put myself through it. IDK if I even want to bother with this game, this series is dead to me for the most part.So this game is what I thought it was (Coach Green).

Same here!

Agreed to the fullest.Just give it a go. This game isn't that bad. It's good, just not great like we all expected it to be.
