Finished Ep 3 last night, boy oh boy does the modern day stuff just suck. Really is inexcusable. I did enjoy Atlantis however, most visually stunning of the three DLC areas imo.
My gf started Witcher 3 for the first time recently and I watched her for a bit. It's amazing how much Odyssey and Origins blatantly copied the W3 formula. I don't really have a problem with that ethically, it was just interesting to note.
Watching the opening hour or two of Witcher 3 really demonstrated how much better the voice acting, facial animation, direction and writing is compared to Odyssey/Origins, despite the fact the game released years prior. Even though Ubisoft is taking a year off between entries nowadays, I really think AC games would benefit from a longer development cycle. More variety in environmental assets, more attention to detail with random NPCs and encounters, better animations would go a LONG way in a game of this scope. I think a large part of the reason I would often get burned out on the recent AC games is cause they just feel so shallow and interchangeable after a while. One village may as well be all of them in Greece (less so in Egypt I thought).
Anyway that's my rant.
