You're not missing anything, don't play Syndicate or Odyssey, they're trash.
Play Origins in it's entirety, possibly one of the best installments, and I memed about the KANGZ meme back then. It's honestly a damn good game.

the question now is, did they pay amon amarth for the soundtrack or not...

Origins was a meh assassin game but a fun RPG, but Odyssey was just terrible at everything. For someone interested in ancient history the amount of stupid bullshit that made no sense in those two games was tragic. I could go on an autistic rant, but I won't. I just so hope they completely ditch all pretense at being a stealthy stabby assassin for this new game and just let us greataxe everyone in the face so we can steal their shit. And yes, the old Vikings did have a fair bit of gender equality compared to everyone else. If you can fight, you get to be heard, and shieldwomen were a thing.

As a lover of Victorian England and Ancient Greece I’ve got to at least try them.
Look, I’m gonna just be real honest with everyone here, I’m very easy to please when it comes to games, I understand most aren’t and it’s totally ok to disagree with me, but that’s just how I am.
A game has to do things wrong to an extremely bad degree most of the time for me to dislike it.

Did you enjoy the Romans being super ebul villains in Origins while Egypt was the oppressed underdog who totally never conquered and brutalized Nubia? Did you enjoy Caesar being made into an evil sexist who had to be assassinated for the greater good by the totally selfless and not at all aristocratic Brutus?
Maybe I never noticed the glaring historical inaccuracies in the other games because they weren't my area of expertise, but Origins is just blatantly wrong in so many areas.

Another good one someone pointed out is that an absurdly high amount of your real-life targets are pro-semetic people, like historical figures that tolerated the hebrews. That plus Shaun's link to Wikileaks and the whole "nothing is true, everything is permitted" and it really paints the Creed as a huge alt-right terrorist group.

Not really. Was thinking more along the Kangz stuff, the super-ebul Greeks that everyone acted like were brand new conquerors instead of the highly-assimilated Ptolemies, and the complete lack of ethnic and cultural diversity one would expect in Egypt of that time period. No Galatians, Thracians, Jews, etc. Nor were the Egyptians themselves so super-oppressed since they had themselves a pretty good chunk of power at this time as a result of being pressed into military service a few times during the various Diadochoi Wars.

You aren’t really missing much. Origins is an okay game that suffers a bit from some its design decisions, and Odyssey gets really boring really quickly. I’m just wondering why they’ve insisted on spurning Steam again. My understanding is that Ubisoft’s financials weren’t great before Corona-chan kissed the world. Division 2 badly underperformed from what I understand, Ghost Recon outright bombed, and their other IPs are dormant until the new consoles get released.

This would be pretty rad. Heck, setting a game in historical African civilizations like the Aksumite Empire or the Gold Coast states could be neat from both a gameplay and historical perspective.

Viking: Total War 2
A game set in Greece being gay isn't surprising, leaving that out that would have been strange and it makes sense for the setting. Have you seen greek women? They're hairy as fuck so any homosexuality could be accidental. It comes from greeks being 70% turk by volume and those guys are even dumber and hairier. Jesus christ, a turkish fruit vendor wearing a tank top might as well be donkey kong guarding his banana hoard.
At least the quran mandates muslim women to shave their bodies, they figured that one out. Maybe the greeks weren't that smart(pension at 50?).
Setting the game in britain at the time the vikings invaded only means that the local population will look like Oblivion characters.

I never liked the series. The story outside of the simulations is just a boring version of national treasure/tomb raider. Desmond is like a hybrid of Tony Hawk and Mark Zuckerberg. The only fun i had was with the American revolution game because it was completely glitched (characters multiplying in some scenes and carriages going through the ground)

Here's some more information. Takes place during the Viking conquests of England in the ninth century, and the dude who declared war on the Vikings was none other than Alfred the Great. Alfred is rather well regarded in England, so the producer of the game pretty hastily said that the Vikings wouldn't be the good boys. And yes, all the shitty ass RPG mechanics are returning, including playing as a girl and romancing people.
Oh yeah, it's exclusive to Uplay and Epic Games store on PC. :^)

Hopefully they improve on the RPG stuff, like adding in joinable factions this time around. Being able to formally join and fight for Sparta or the Delian League would've made a lot of Odyssey's quests and mechanics more meaningful.
To be honest, I actually enjoyed Origins and Odyssey more than I did any of the recent games by BioWare, Obsidian, or inXile.

I put 200 hours combined into Origins and Odyssey, so I am pretty hyped for this new game. I really enjoyed the cultist system in Odyssey, as well as the Witcher esque questing.
That being said Black Flag is the best game, besides the forced follow missions I have no real complaints about it. I wish they would make another "old school" AC game, but I still really enjoy the new ones.

I haven't enjoyed the series since 3 ( yea sue me ). Ever since Unity they keep trying to add more and more shitty RPG elements into something that shouldn't be an RPG. Yea before the combat was stupid easy but at least it was fun. Unity's combat was too realistic to be fun, Syndicate was a batman ripoff with combo bullshit, and I'll never play them but Origins and Odyssey dissolved it into level caps and a grind fest. Like they won't even let you "Assassinate" people anymore?! Are you fucking shitting me!? I'll stick to bludgeoning and rope hanging smug british people with a tomahawk with my Native American boi.
