Haven't been too active in the world of video games for some time. Aiming to change that...
I thought I'd track down all the major open-world Assassin's Creed titles - and play them from beginning to end. The only AC game I've actually played in the past is AC2 (which from memory, I rather enjoyed).
Yes, I'm only too aware that the AC games have something of a 'marmite' connotation attached to them.
I was able to purchase all nine (!) major AC games second-hand for the princely amount of 69 pounds ($131 Australian dollars). Interestingly, the only title that I can't play on my PS4 is the original AC game - which I've had to resort to playing on my PC. Looking forward to getting AC1 out of the way so I can then migrate to the comfort of the lounge to use my PS4 for the remainder.
Where possible, I'll also try to play some of the downloadable missions (some of which I might be able to get for free using activation codes, etc.).
I'm sure there will be some frustration ahead - but the journey should get more enjoyable as I progress. Many of the titles should have had their wrinkles ironed out by now (I'm looking at you, Unity!).
The PC version of AC1 is apparently a 'Director's Cut', with some extra missions, etc. That cost me 2 pounds 64 pence.
Watch this space! No spoilers please.
The irony is that I'm still working full-time, with no isolation at home - and I have a seven-month old daughter who's suddenly learnt that she can crawl...so God only knows when I'm going to find the time to play these games!
