Its no joke. Assassins creed is glitchy in a way that all open world games are. There are no load times in the entire map *unless you enter a building* and the developers went bat shit insane with the detail to portray the city and era. How would you even know it was rushed? Ubisoft is huge and they put in atleast 3 teams to finish the game. As for innovations, who gives a shit. There is no game on that list that is as innovative as the asssasins creed series this generation besides skyrim or portal. oh and batman. Either way though, portal is an extremely short puzzle game with great narrative. Skyrim is a glitch fest that has the worst physical combat i have played this year. It plays like fallout without a vats system. Batman  would be goty for me, but assassins creed shits on it in the story aspect. And i like the gameplay more.

its an opinion, if you dont like it then too bad. 

I Wrote the review for Assassin's Creed: Revelations AND Ratchet and Clank: all 4 one...I played both all the way through and played all of their modes, I did research to understand everything hat happened, and I can assure you both were massive disappointments to the series' they represent.  The only 'innovations' in Revelations is that stupid Tower Defense minigame...which was almost universally disliked.  The game had plenty of animation and gameplay glitches (one of the other team members played it and said the same thing), and it just wasn't that significant in any way.  Yeah the world was gorgeous, but it was glitchy as could be.  and no, not "glitchy like all open world sandbox games', there were none of these problems with ACII or Brotherhood.  It's a huge step down from the previous games in quality, and while I loved them, they weren't GotY either. 

Ratchet and Clank was just....had the same issues.  Wasn't bad but a huge step down from the previous games which weren't GotY material either.  I wish I could agree with that statement since Assassin's Creed and Ratchet and Clank were both two of my favorite franchises, but they were both massively lackluster and have no place on a "GotY vote" in a year when there were dozens of better games.
