I took a break from it yesterday and put Revelations back on and enjoyed a great 1 hour session playing the older Ezio. I am at 52% completed and the game awesome. Since November 1st I have hardly stopped(November 9th today.wow. Black Flag is a Pirate game first and foremost. I was going to finish Revelations before picking up black flag, but could not resist. The tower defense game people complain about can be avoided by visiting the heralds. I got II about a month and a half ago, hearing it was the best one, and wanting to get to know the story before Black Flag came out. I stopped playing before opening up anything major due to weird control issues.
