User blog comment:D. Cello/Assassinews 02/16 -- AC3 date released/@comment-80.216.229.97-20120219153845

seeing as how AC3 has been in the works for three years, one can only hope that enough work was put into it before the current team got their hands on it. Pardon my cynicism. For me, Revelations is the worst Assassin's creed game yet. What bothers me so much about it is the lack of stealth. Without any focus on crowd or optional routes. Such strange game design that every gameplayelement is so optional and the level design so linear. There is one route to take, every guard has his back turned against you and around every corner there is a cinematic. No gamer should appreciate such extreme hand holding.
