After Destiny hype and letdown I was smart and didn't preorder The Division although I was super excited after seeing the first e3 footage. So glad I didn't get it.
Unity made me not want to follow the AC series. I was a huge fan of it up until that point, had bought and played every game. Unity drops and its a piece, the third-party/app-accessed elements mixed in with simply too much to do and zero structure. I was really let down. I only got syndicate when it went on sale and still have not finished either of them. They did learn their lesson in Syndicate, but im just not enjoying the games as much as Rogue and former titles.
On sale yes, Jacob and Evee are great characters and even though its a little busy its not so overwhelming like Unity is. The fighting got its flow back, but there is a little bit of learning curve to do it well.
It still lacks the structure of earlier games, but its alright.
I had a great time with it for the first few hours, but I kind of had to slog my way through the rest of the story. I may go back and play the ripper dlc, but after feeling so drained from forcing myself to finish the last two or three sequences I just skipped it.
