So apparently (spoiler about modern day)
The new modern day protagonist is female, and more in lieu of Desmond than the faceless ones we've had the last couple games.

Playing AC:S. Realized that I strongly dislike the sound violins make. But the setting is interesting enough. Found the Gilded Grasshopper.

Two more days to Origins. I've to confess I'm very curious. Not sure if the streamer I always watch would get early access; he does sometimes. Totally depends on the pubs if they want to do that. EA (early access) gameplay on Twitch will promote the game.

EA (early access) gameplay on Twitch will promote the game. Me too. I am also getting cautious because of how badly IMO the AC2 handles novelty features with the gazillion pretty much obligatory exploration tasks being completely at odds with far more linear and forecefull storyline. Altair was very much a free operator who could roam if he wished and was actually encouraged to. Ezio is cornered by various competing priorities and is not given any time to roam and remember, let alone complete them. The design of AC2 contradicts the idea of the game. I hope it improves soon or in the next game.

What I'm generally hearing is that it's a return to form, which is all I really needed to hear.
Ashraf and his team really ought to be the only ones allowed to make AC games.

I don't remember having to collect stuff for AC2 unless I wanted to (except viewpoints). Which I did Altair had like 9 billion flags and 2000 templars to kill. But I only did it once. For Ezio I liked doing the hieroglyph thingies. I can't wait until midnight tomorrow though. I'm eager to see Egypt. Has anyone seen how big the download is for the patch on release? I think I heard Ashraf say there was one?

Tyvm! I found that info after I clicked on "launch day essentials" on Uplay. Derp Doesn't seem to be any before the game releases activities though like they had for Syndicate.

So the internet murmurings I've encountered seem to say it's Black Flag or better, as the series goes. Still has some of that Ubi copy/paste design, but goes much further with individual quests. Combat seems to be hit or miss with people. Some complaints about bugs. I watched some Twitch streams and I can't help but notice the visuals are not quite what I saw during initial presentations. I know with open world visuals can vary greatly, but I also know Ubi sometimes pulls shenanigans with this.

Probably what excites me most - there is apparently no limit to what we can climb now. We can now scale everything in ze world like Ancient Egyptian Spiderman.

I think I heard Ashraf say there was one? Well, nobody told Altair to gather flags and I don’t think they did anything. Off the top of my head, Don Ezio so far was told to: -gather codexes to increase his healthbar - find plans for Leonardo to upgrade his weapons - I have no idea what that does - collect feathers to heal his raped mother who does not speak no more - collect money to fix up the estate for Tio Draculo -recover Mr. Stamina’s armor - get glyphs for Mr. Dull and Miss Lucy -

Except for gamespot all reviews are pretty upbeat so far. I feel like I should have started playing the franchise earlier, heh.

Gamespot give ratings 0.6 of a mark lower than average anyway (says MetaCritic data). These are the people who gave No Man's Sky a 7, MEA a 6 and Syndicate a 9. In short, I probably trust Gamespot least to know one end of a review from another... Oh, and 10/10 for Super Mario, fancy that...

I keep watching Outside Xbox videos about Assassin's Creed Origins and... Im tempted??? Idk. It looks a really fun game and I love the idea of exploring Egypt but idk if its for me... the only other game ive played (well "played") before is Rogue, and from what I played I... dont think I liked it??? The naval stuff terrified me tbh and it didnt make me want to play the game at allllll. I just dont know about Origins, Im mixed... I think if I was able to play it Id probably enjoy it, but I dont think its something im gonna go and buy myself. Im like that with so many games right now

I just never really got invested in it. And as I said... the gameplay with the boats scared me so much. Well it was more the whales and the sharks It was recommended to me. I really like the look of the combat in AC Origins though
