      Black Flag, Origins and Odyssey are enjoyable if you don't treat them like an Assassin's Creed game. Plus don't bother trying to 100% them since they become tedious otherwise.

        not a single game after Ezio's saga ever had as much catharsis as fricking Rodrigo Borgia's shit up while having Machiavelli as your boss.

        As a concept, yes. It was the closest to their vision of what AC was intended to be.
        The other games weren't even trying with the modern era shit anymore and were just an excuse to play in some historical setting.
        From a gameplay perspective, late games did some things better.

    You could argue that the gameplay actually improved with later games, people were just pissed off that they abandoned the overarching narrative of the series. Then starting with Origins, they just radically changed the gameplay and made it a Witcher 3 clone in a historical setting.

    current game industry's aversion for straight action games is telling. it actually takes a lot of effort to make a balanced and satisfying action game. modern asscreeds have that stupid lite-rpg crap to offset the garbage design or more like the lack of it. enemy is too strong? just give the player the ability to arbitrarily become stronger by giving him bigger numbers. i replayed the first asscreed a while ago and the simplicity was honestly so welcome. theres no level indicators above enemy heads, or numbers jumping out of my sword. no status screen where i can see how much HP or strength i have. just swing a sword at a guy and kill him in one or two hits.

      Using AC1 as an example of a "straight action game" is a strange choice given that it's the least action-y in the entire franchise.

    i like it for the setting and ezio but besides that it hasn't aged well

    rest of the characters are pretty boring, the world is pretty uninteresting to explore and basically the game does very little with its open world, the only reason i went into one of those assassin tombs was because i wanted to, zero reason to work towards better armor or weapons because the entire combat is just spamming either smoke bomb + hidden blade or hidden blade deflect spam

    I remember playing this game, I had just got done with Modern Warfare 2 and was looking for something just as good, in the mean time I was spending all my time playing Madden and gorging on Mountain Dew and Doritos, but that wasn't good enough. My older brother came home from college with his X-Box 360 and games like Halo and Gears of War but what caught my eye was Assassins Creed 2, I played it for an entire day the first time, it was the weekend so I I didn't have to worry about my bed time.

        Rogue doesn't' have jolly piracy but you get to sail, take over ships, find treasure and shit anyway while also chilling with the game's moody atmosphere and barely-existing story

          Absolutely, I basically just finished all the pirate content and then slogged through a dozen tailing missions
          Also IIRC Rogue doesn't have the big boss ships that Black Flag had (1 on each corner of the map) and that's a huge loss
