Years after the original release, I can honestly say I had some fun with AC3. That being said, what the hell? AC2:Brotherhood was so good. It was three games getting better than the prior with unique added on features. Three was fun but none of the support stuff felt important. I'm finally building my homestead after finishing the main story. Crafting is unnecessary and yields no real value monetarily. The naval missions are tons of fun but what am I gaining from them? I had fun on a lot of different parts of three but I also had a lot of moments of wondering what I could do next to make the game interesting.
