Would have been a 9 if it wasn't loaded with bugs

I am going to start off with all the good things to say about this game, and then the bad things last.
The graphics are pretty good, and the environments from Boston, New York,Frontier, and the Homestead are visually stunning.
The overall gameplay and action got noticeably smoother and the game isn't so juddery and the picture doesn't cut out so much.
The story was okay, the story setting in the Revolution was a great idea to have this assassins creed in, but the story was just overall kinda boring. They lead up to the main character, Connor, in a good fashion in order to make the game more epic, but it kinda failed.
What I thought really failed was the pointless missions this game had like hunting random animals and collecting feathers, or helping some random guy out as part of the main mission. And what really bugged me about this game was that the optional missions in order to give full syncroization were just stupid and it felt like Ubisoft couldn't make up anything better for the optional missions so they put dumb ones like not being able to touch the ground, or not shove anyone in a chase, it just made it not fun when trying to get full syncroization.
The combat system got better in my opinion, but it seemed easier. The combat system gives you the ability to pick what you want to do with the enemies like throw, or block, or break defense, or kill with your gun, and you can even use people as human shield.
The game is pretty big with 4 areas to cover, and 2 cities, with many, many side missions. But most of the side missions are just pointless, meaningless missions like collection a page, or talking to a guy, or killing a bear.
I was going to give this game a 9, until I started running into major problems like my ammo or weapons disappearing on my next playthrough after a death, or enemies detecting you too easily, getting stuck, not being able to grab some things, and all these bugs ruined my ability to get full sync on missions.
