On the flipside, the story intrigued me and appealed to me in a great way, which is why I continued to play each subsequent title (up until Revelations which is still on my backlog).

So lets say I spent countless hours/days/weeks watching, reading analysing reviews and comments about Assassins Creed, and because lets say (for example) there were so many mixed reviews that made me decide not to get it because from what it "sounds" from others playing it/reviewing it.

I would not have known what I missed out on thanks to reviews/scores/comments/users.
