Whereas I particularly dislike using a controller (bought one last year because advice suggested it was far better for early Assassin’s Creed games - lasted one session before I went back to KB/M and tolerating the jank, lol), which may be a part of why I found the combat changes particularly egregious. Certainly I recognise that the experience is not the same for all. If it was just that one (albeit major) thing, or just that one chapter I would have more patience for it. Like you (and others), CE has been my favourite game for a long time, but unlike you (and more like LostBrythunian) I find less and less left of a game that I enjoy
The incoming QoL changes feel like just one more nail in the coffin - maybe one day they lead to something good, I hope that you are right. I don’t know if I’ll be around to see it.
