I think AC is going to be a very big franchise this gen. Some reviewers crapped on it for the parts it got wrong, and forgot that all most people care about are the new experiences it provides (in this case largely with the climbing aspect), which most agree Ubi got right.
If a game is fun and new, the public many times overlooks it's flaws... And middling reviews.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
