    You Own a Town

    In the first game, Altair would drop by his master's headquarters from time to time. Here he could participate in some light combat training and engage in lengthy philosophical conversations. Ho-hum.
    This time Ezio owns an entire villa, complete with a brothel, blacksmith, art dealer, and church. Ezio works with an architect to rebuild the town from a crumbling mess. Investing in the town not only changes the buildings, but the citizens become more wealthy and the sun shines more brightly on the newly constructed architecture. You'll also receive a discount at merchants you've invested in. The villa is also where Ezio can buy new combat moves, like the ability to wield a two-handed axe, and store his collected treasures.

    Im happy that you're happy? 
    I'm not sure what you're looking for here. Adding Suikoden/Dark Cloud elements to a game that was popular because you ran around killing people seems like a weird combo. Plus its probably binary; a series of static phases that are the same for every player.

    you ran around killing stuff in dark cloud too, I'm not saying it's mind blowing its probably slightly better than the tower building in overlord.

    Kind of a weird thing to get excited about.  I'm excited because Ubisoft Montreal acknowledged that the mission structure in the first game was shit and vowed to revamp the whole thing.

     I'm amazed at how cynical gamers can be. The town building to me sounds like an interesting addition to an already promising game. So what if it was done before by Dark Cloud? Dark Cloud is nearly 10 years-old. Just because some other game did it nearly a decade ago doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used in another game. I doubt the two versions will behave the same anyway. The whole point of that feature is to make the player feel more involved in what was a fairly static world in the first Assassin's Creed.

    That's a pretty cool addition to the game. For one thing it's nice to know there'll be a central hub where I can deal with everything in one place.

    Referencing two games that you, and maybe 4 other people have heard of doesn't help your point.

    "You own a Town" is exaggerated. However, I don't have any objections with the rest of what you've written.
