Had a buddy of mine recommend the new AC: Origins and I got it. The graphics are very nice and the gameplay overall is definitely Assassin's Creed. However, the combat engine seems to be improved, more Witcher-like than previous AC games I've played. Viewing distance though is where it's at. Here are a few screenshots.
One complaint - I really don't care who exactly was involved in the development of my video games; however, Ubisoft decided that the main loading screen is going to state that this "was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities." I DON'T CARE! I don't need, nor particularly want, a statement every time I go to play my game that Ubisoft doesn't discriminate and that they're politically correct. The addition of this has ZERO bearing on whether I buy the game; it might actually detract from it. I want to play video games and not read political statements while I do it.
