I just can't understand their marketing.

Altair, Ezio, connor, its understandable why we've never heard of them, despite their rise to power. It takes a little suspension of disbelief, but its possible.

Then we have ac4 telling us that edward kenway is the biggest and baddest pirate threat in maritime history. Either the screed games don't take place in our universe anymore (which, if you recall, is and has always been the central conceit of the series, up to and including the rushed release date for 3), or we're supposed to accept that despite having an enormous piracy record and a reputation to scare Edward Teach himself Edway just faded into the background. Which is LUDICROUS. It completely breaks the game's illusion for me. Add to that the death of Desmond, the questionable turns in the main plot, and the general shittiness of the last game, I'm just not willing to pay money for screed 4. It might be crazy fun. But unless i get it as a gift, I'll never know, because the series the game is attached to has just killed it for me
