Oh goodness.
You buy a FPS to do the same thing in different maps with different objectives.
You buy a fighting game to do the same thing vs. different people.
In Assassin's Creed, you assassinate people to progress through the story. Sometimes you sneak in on foot. Sometimes you fly. Sometimes you have to escape through a bunch of guards. Sometimes you have a clear path on the roofs. Either way, you're doing the same thing in order to achieve a final goal.
My point, which was apparently missed, was that the initial argument that the missions are the same thing over and over is a poor assessment of the game, because everything can boil down to that short of a game based on puzzles.
