Okay, I have been a little burned out from this series but that GIF has me interested.
Thanks for the reply. I've never played rogue. I'll hunt down a copy. I loved black flag.
Pretty hyped for origins tbh. The setting looks great and I think an 84 average in the current market is extremely solid
Syndicate is low-key the most underrated entry in the franchise. I adored it.
I'm getting this free but I may still put it on the back burner. Mario, Wolfenstein, other recent stuff I haven't gotten to... I can wait a bit before stabbing Egyptians.
Bayek is a great protagonist with some very interesting shades that the game manages to highlight (I like his lowkey reverence for the priests and temples for example.) The game undeniably bungles it's opening hours and first impressions count for a LOT... I don't blame people if they have trouble getting invested after that.
Based on what I have played thus far, Origins is my third best AC game after Rogue and BF respectively. Easily better than Unity and currently tied with Syndicate for me but I know that it will surpass it once I complete the game. Rogue and Black Flag remain my top two respectively.
As for AC II, I quit that game halfway through the story. It was just boring and bland. Hated those glyphs puzzles and just wasn't into it at all. I tried and even bought sequence 12 and 13 DLC for it but still nope. However, I did play it after Black Flag which was my first AC game. Watching BF back in 2013 made me hyped for AC to where I bought the game and season pass two months before the game was released. It may not be an awesome AC game but it's an excellent pirate game and just so calm, relaxing and fun to play. Only Rogue surpasses BF for me.
I LOVED Black Flag (which was my first AC game) and LOVED Rogue even more. Rogue is basically an ice cold water version of BF. Everything is pretty much the same except that the story is short but better and best of all, no eavesdropping missions at all which was my only major negative with BF. Plus, you play as a Templar and is connected to Unity but they fucked up the connection in Unity.
As for Origins, after two days of playing, I can safely say that it's my third best AC game after Rogue and BF respectively. Easily better than Unity and currently tied with Syndicate for me but I know that it will surpass it once I complete the game.
