Same. Got Black Flag and the ships put me off AC. Others may argue that it added to the game but for me it was an annoyance...

Loved 1, 2 Brotherhood and Revelations.

Wasn't a fan of 3, in fact it was AC3 that made me lose interest in the series over all. If I did not buy a new Xbox, that was void of games and that Origin + Odyssey sale was going for R200 each I probably still have ignored the series.

Being a fan of RPG's like Witcher, Dragon Age and Skyrim, Origin just grabbed me in the right way and so did Odyssey.

Haven't played Black Flag. Bought it on a Steam sale years ago, never installed it.
Origin the ship section is a mere "cut scene" filler but the game is not AC anymore. Its more like a RPG with AC elements. Odyssey you use ships to navigate the island, but very much like Origin an RPG. I recently started to play Syndicate that reminded me so much of original that I started to play that again.

The fact that they play as different games for me is a bonus, esp now that we entering winter. Will play Original AC at night in bed and Valhalla in front of the big screen on weekends :D

For me it feels like there are 2 "types" of games in the series... well bar the Chronicle "mobile" games.

Rooftop action = AC 1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, Unity & Syndicate.
RPG = AC3, Black Flag, Origin, Odyssey and Valhalla

Rouge is kinda odd ball for obvious reasons

I don't see Syndicate as a rooftop action AC. Too heavily focused on carriages and street-level action. It's the GTA of the series :)

Amazing game though. One of the best.

Unity was the last of the proper rooftop games in the series imo.

Well Black Flag went on a weird path, but man it was fun actually

Black Flag is my least favourite AC actually. It's the game that put me off the series for a few years. Really didn't like it that much.

I loved it, Unity put me off.

Their game stack event went into more technical details and none of it seemed traditional.
It’s interesting for the Xbox ecosystem, but with all the things they have ongoing concurrently I wonder if they’ve taken on too much to deliver.

I suspect its a small team maybe even just 2 or 3 employees that is in charge of the FPS boost project that test each game and report to developers for activation requests. I highly doubt it takes anything away from other projects.

That said Its kinda sad on a Series S, in order to use FPS Boost I have to disable build in upscaling.
In order to have the FPS Boost Option available, I have to set my display to 1080P :(
