My sole reason for playing Assassin's Creed games is so I can wander around in historical settings and read the flavor text they use to describe the various landmarks and historical events, artworks and people. Honestly, I think Ubisoft should eighty-six the assassin stuff and just make virtual museums.
That is not what I am referring to. The structure of those modes is too rigid: players have to follow a planned route, stop and wait for the guide to finish talking at each station. Too much like a real life tour.
Ah I understand, my assumption is you can disable/ignore the tour and walk around as you wish but I'm yet to have chance to try the mode myself to confirm.
