Don't believe the hype. This is just another Assassin's Creed debacle where Ubisoft Montreal failed to optimize their game. IF you can miraculously load into the game without becoming frustrated, the game play is interesting. However, very over hyped, I spent the last two hours attempting to play through the game with intermittent freezing and skipping making the game unplayable. I have a GTX 760 Overclocked 4MB and I cannot run this game. I meet all of the specifications and the game still runs like crap. Don't waste your money. ------ For obvious reasons, the fan boys will disagree, however many people are experiencing these same issues including stuttering and freezing during driving, general game play, crashes, or not being able to start the game. I wanted to like this game, I was anticipating this game for two years., and now I want my money back.
