Hey CheapLEY... about AC Origins... (spoilers) (Off-Topic)

You're path with the game seems to echo a lot of what I've heard from around the web and with a few friends. Vinny from Giant Bomb, too, comes to mind. He tried to argue for Origins as one of the most disappointing games of 2017, just because it wasn't what he wanted from an Assasssin's Creed game. On podcasts that were recorded after their GOTY deliberations, he goes on to talk about how good it is, once he sort of met the game on its terms, rather than what he expected from Assassin's Creed.

There’s definitely value in trying to experience a game for what it is, but I do think that a part of the problem with AC Origins is that most of its weaker content is front loaded to the very beginning of the game. Looking at how it all builds and wraps up, then thinking back to the first 3-4 hours, it’s hard to believe it’s all part of the same game. There’s a drastic quality difference.
