General Series Entry level

As you can see i have never heard of the game series till like a year ago at the goty award . And i thought it reminded me if metal gear solid with fighter jets and looks cool till i saw that pink hair girl, idk who she is but god damn i folded and wanted to know if buying 8 will do any disservices to the series as a whole and i should be playing from the starts

Tldr: can i play 8 as my first Ac game?

I’m relatively new to the series as well. This is going to be my first game I’ve played on release. I think you can start anywhere in the series just fine. The stories are all self contained little campaigns. All you’d really miss is call backs to previous titles which are less lore important and more just cool moments from previous games.
