-nice try-
You're starting a fight in a thread that this doesn't belong in. Last reply from me since I'd rather this topic stay on track.
I wrote up a big response, then realised there's no point. Just like fighting with Tumblr, you're not going to be persuaded since we've experienced games in a VERY different way. You're entitled to your opinion. Feel free to claim victory if it pleases you.
All I'll say is that you're trying to fight against a story in a game that hasn't been done well to this day, and has no real place being the focus when you consider how incredible the player experience can and should be (the tactical, careful and slower-paced assassination gameplay is one hell of a good gameplay experience loop). If you want story well done, go watch a movie for now, since games are still trying to find their storytelling feet.
