Assassin's Creed as a concept is the best Franchise in Existance.

I don’t really think that games based on history makes them good...

It makes me appreciate that type of work because a ton of research has to go into it... but generally fantasy games are more fun imo.

And just because a game is considered fantasy, doesn’t mean it’s shit like you implied.

That’s a pretty narrow view of game quality.

that is not what I mean but "Dragons and shit"

I absolutely love fantasy games. Particularly RPGs. Final Fantasy, The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Zelda, etc. I was just trying to highlight that AC is rare in that it tries to actually make games based on our history. 

But we have all sorts of games out there that are either loosely based on real history, or follow as much history as possible. We've got Dynasty Warriors and it's silly and loose focus on history. We've got all sorts of turn based and tactics strategy games that focus on real wars that happened centuries/decades ago.

 

Creed isn't doing anything new exactly. If anything it's following exactly what DW is doing, by introducing silly things, while also trying to follow some semblance of history. it's gone from a stealth assassination game, to a mixed bag RPG world tour style game (Which screams the "ubisoft model").
