Why do people like this game?

[The Chef]

Runs like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, stealth and combat feel like horeshit, movement feels like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.. ♥♥♥♥ the entire 90 minutes I played I absolutely HATED. Refunded to buy old assassins creed games I palyed on 360 that were actually fun and controlled well.

It's a great game and I had no problem running it at 4k HDR. Sounds like a weak rig so you go and blame the game, cool.

But to answer your question, not everyone is you.

[Jank]

It runs great on my system. The combat and stealth is quite fun and polished, in my opinion. Movement and controls feel smooth, you can move around quite fast which makes total sense given the huge scope of the game-world. It's perfectly understandable if AC:O isn't your cup of tea, a lot has changed since the older games, after all. But that's no reason to be so rude.

lol, sry, but who think that the old combat system is better, i can not take that seriously

[Ohmz]

Honestly it's a really good game and definitely one of the better AC titles. The only real odjective backstep is the high CPU load if you ask me, with all other things AC:O does them on par with or ultimately better than prev. AC games.

In my experience some of the prev. AC games don't run much better than AC:O at all, they just don't smack your CPU as badly. And to be fair to AC:O, there is more going on. Stealth has always been pretty obvious and mundane in AC games - at least in AC:O Senu adds a bit of life to this. Combat could be done better, yes, but it's 100% a step in the right direction, and even with all its flaws it's still very fun.

Because everything about it is an improvement. Combat is far more enjoyable and it's no longer just a button mash until the enemy is dead. I have yet to accidentally climb when I didn't want to (like EVERY previous version of an AC game would do). This is the first AC game where they got stealth right. Tbh I actually find it quite easy to stealth areas with no problems at all.
Each area also feels different and unique. While I loved Syndicate, every party of London felt the same.

I used to hate it always but after learning it and getting used to the combat i love it!

[Colonel Troutman]

I've only played a few hours, but so far I've had a blast. Stealth is fun, combat is fluid and very responsive, and it runs very well on my system as well.

[wicked lester]

I don't get the issue; I really like this game. Combat was a bit clunky but I mapped dodging to a mouse button and now it's fine. It runs great and looks pretty good on my oldish system (750ti video card). Stealth is good enough for an AC game.

Runs like "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥", computer is probably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Then go buy the previous games instead of whining.
