Yeah that's abit sleazy, but good to hear the game doing well. Seems like they've been really working to improve the series with this one and the last one. I personally never liked the series all that much, AC3 was pretty poor, and while I liked Black Flag, I never stuck with it and only dabbled with Rogue. Rented Origins, but only played for like an hour or two as I wasn't really feeling like getting invested in it. I'm actually kinda interested in Odyssey, mostly because it seems like they took out the stuff I care least about, which is basically the whole Assassin's vs Templar's thing, along with the modern day stuff (I don't know if they removed it for Odyssey). Though I like that it seems that any possible mythical creatures shown in like the Medusa are justfied by being creations of the first people that created humanity.
Also heard the combat was improved, which is even better as the combat was never super great for the series.
