I just go through Seq. 5. I love this game so far. I really love the story and environment so far. Old Boston is so cool. I know a lot of people say the first few hours are a drag. I like it so far, and I like that it's a tutorial. This game may be in the running for my favorite AC game so far.
Yeah I didn't mind the beginning either. Actually I wish Ratonhnhaketon had a slightly longer intro.
Even though I was aware of some of the most pivotal story events before starting the game they weren't diminished in anyway. When I reached the end, I felt the journey between those key moments was what really made everything come together so nicely and shine like a wondrous star. On top of the story, I loved the combat quite a bit too. I hope you'll get even more out of it.
