I believe most people were actually really happy with the change in setting and liked the American Revolution theme.

I would love to see them continue to mix it up and offer cool locations and time periods, but I've actually never played an AC game before. It just doesn't seem to have enough...content, for me. My preference in open world adventure games is more similar to the Witcher series.

I got done at Brotherhood. The settings are no longer interesting to me. Maybe if they do one in feudal Japan, I'll give it a go because that to me seems like the perfect setting for this series. Ninja assassin anyone?

i agree, but they need to return to the roots of the franchise, they need to stop trying to make it like an action game and an assassin is a super soldier. make me feel like an assassins again, make it about stealth, then ill be interested. a japan or china setting is perfect for this kind of game, yet they chose the american revolution, geez.

No, because the last AC game I played was the first one. I liked it, but by the time I catch up on the series, AC6 will be out.

Bloody yearly releases.


my advice, just play the second one, its worth it. the rest, well, you can easily ignore them


I would, but what about the plot? I was under the impression that all of the games would progress the overarching storyline somewhat. Should I just Youtube it?


for the love of god dont. see in 2 this whole overarching story line is just ridiculous, plain and simple ridiculous. its not interesting, its not logical and its extremely stupid. the story of desmond miles is one of the reasons why every AC game after 2 is lacking in quality. if you will be interested in its story you will be interested in ezio's story, which after brotherhood (the one after 2) has a fulfilling ending. AC revelations adds pretty much nothing to ezio's or desmonds story. 

Oh man. That's actually kind of...crushing to hear. I was looking forward to seeing how his storyline progressed. How about the multiplayer in Brotherhood(and 3?). Is it any good?

I have a better question, why aren't they milking the American Revolution the same way they milked Italy? Was Assassin's Creed 3 that poorly received?

the multiplayer in brotherhood is actually pretty fun, but it does have a game breaking flaw. see your either an assassin or target, if the target catches the assassin off gaurd or the assassin makes a mistake you can "stun" him. but more than once when i was playing as an assassin if the target stunned me, he would stay next to me, then stun me as i am getting up, and the whole game would go that way. it happened to me more than once actually. its a flaw that was fixed in AC3 (didnt play AC :R multi) but i just wasnt interested in AC3 multiplayer for some reason

and mark my words, desmonds story is the worst in the history of video games.

The main character from 1 gets mentioned occasionally, but for the most part they're not that related. I played 2 before 1 and it wasn't bad. And I agree nothing is better than 2 in my opinion.

So there's no exposition on Altair's character as was suggested in the trailer for Revelations? Bummer.

Everyone loves Ezio. I don't see anyone talking about Connor.

I thought AC 2 and AC Brotherhood were the best. AC Brotherhood didn't have -quite- as good of a single player (but still good), but it made up for it with the multiplayer.

 

AC Revelations and 3 were...disappointing, kinda. Still both good, more so AC 3, but nothing big.
