Thank you for the advice.
Over the past decade I have 100%/platinumed every AC game. I own the comics, statues, novels, high end art... even Adidas AC shoes. I lived, breathed, and slept AC. When Origins came out after a two year break (which was needed), it was amazing. I platinumed that as well as all of the DLC with about 135 hours of gameplay. Level scaling was optional and not default.
Then came Odyssey. It's basically Origins 2.0 since Odyssey is based on Origins code. This time around is different though... level scaling is forced by default and no longer a choice. Stealth and assassination are no longer possible. Now you have different builds such as hunter and warrior, where you use super saiyan powers to fight enemies. You can't even die from fall damage, you can jump a thousand meters and land as if you were a god!
AC is my favorite modern day series, it's the ONE series I look forward to playing with each iteration. So to see it bastardized with mandatory level scaling, to have options removed that were there in the past, and to entirely change the base gameplay from stealth to that of an action RPG, it upsets me.
