Looks good, but as I'm watching it I can't help thinking "wtf does any of this crap have to do with the overarching plot?"
I will not play AC3, and so far I haven't bothered to get the gist of it because I had assumed the series to have crossed the unmitigated crap line and not be worth keeping up on.
So for AC4 to entice me with Tenchu meets Wind Waker I gotta wonder if the out of animus plot even matters anymore. I mean it was a cool framing device in the original game, but now I've stopped caring.
We get it the sun is going to flash fry the planet unless we can....collect stuff created by people who already got fried by the sun.
And around 6 games later nothing has happened.
It would be like if they made a dozen Eternal Darkness games and never got around to Alex doing ANYTHING but getting caught up on all the backstory by sitting down to read the book at the start of each game.
Of course if "millions" of people are still tuning in to watch "Under the Dome" when not a fucking thing of interest has happened since the dome came, I guess people will put up with all kinds of boring plot filler as long as you make them believe that eventually it will pay off.
Hopefully AC4 will actually have a beginning, middle, and end. I'm sick of half the plot being shuffled off to the extraneous tie in comic, book, webseries, animated short, puppet show, smoke signals, and every other object that Ubisoft deems I need to own that ISN'T the fucking game they just spent millions of dollars to produce.
They are almost as bad as Deadspace. If you want to know just wtf is going on in those games you have to do your homework, rather than actually play the games.
