Because let's be honest, the land-based gameplay consists of doing the same things we've been doing for the past 5 games and it never really improves. Melee combat is still a bit crappy and the freerunning is as finicky as always, with your character more often than not doing the exact opposite of what you want them to do.
There is nothing wrong with the land gameplay IMO. I highly doubt ACIV would have tanked without naval gameplay, it's one of the biggest and best-selling franchises in gaming. Melee combat is also fine IMO, one of the biggest reasons I buy AC every year is because of the (IMO) awesome combat. Freerunning also works fine for me, maybe once or twice thr character has jumped in the wrong direction but that is a non-issue. Like I said before, If you don't like it then don't buy it, simple as that.
