Just curious what others think here, because maybe it's just me, but I definitely feel like AC is a bit lost in the mix of high profile releases this year. Obviously I'm not suggesting AC isn't high profile itself, but of all the big holiday titles coming out this year, this is the one that there just doesn't seem to be much excitement for. I see gamers hyped for CoD, Battlefront, Halo, Tomb Raider, Fallout, and of course recently we had MGSV and hell even Taken King that all have/had people amped up, itching to get their hands on it.
Nobody seems to be talking about AC Syndicate at all. Hell I don't even see much in the way of advertisement for it, which strikes me as rather odd considering the game is quite close to release now. Usually the big sites would be doing much more coverage on this franchise so close to release.
So why is that? Is it simply a bad year? Overshadowed in a crowded year, and still reeling off the issues of last year's game? Are we seeing the start of a more permanent decline? Or am I just looking in all the wrong places and people are actually plenty excited about this game?
