I spent 30 minutes just running from one point to another on a boat – non-gameplay, for no actual story gain. It could have been done with 'And you arrive in the new world'. I hear ACIII actually takes 7-8 hours to 'get going'. It really feels self-indulgent on the part of Ubi and it's designers.

I was on my second playthrough of Portal 1 by this point, and appreciating it's elegant brevity. Ubisoft could learn a thing or two about editing the story. The AC games have always felt like 75% padding to me but this is taking that model and spreading it even thinner. This is 3 evening's play so far (I'm lucky if I can grab 90 mins at a time) spread over a week and I already feel I'm wasting my time when I've got other, more immediate games I can actually make headway with.

The game hasn't properly started yet and already I'm seriously considering selling it on. Life's too short, y'know?
