Ubisoft sucks: Save points are just FAIL.

Holy perpendicular horizons, Batman!
So I bought Assassin's Creed last week. It was reduced to USD 9.99 on Steam, and seemed like a bargain. Wrong. You have to play until you hit the save point; it gets 19fps on a 2.4 GHZ quad core system with a HD3850 GPU and 4GB RAM and it has save points. Did I mention the save points?
Honestly, games where you can't just save where you are and come back later are FAIL
Quitting from the games takes some serious navigating through menus, which is further FAIL.
Ubisoft: You suck.
