I played the first one and got bored that you had to slow walk everywhere or the Muslims would chase you.
Then a friend shilled the hell out of Black Flag a few years later and wanted me to play at his house. I just remember sneaking around bushes for like 5 minutes before getting bored again.
The absolute state of zoomers' attention span
They're boring and clunky.
Zoomers are the only ones that would defend those shitty games because every game is fun when you're a kid.
a 21 yo zoomer has the same attention span as that of a 11 yo zoomer
When AC3 switched from Haytham to the boring fricker, I forgot his name.
Brotherhood. I got sick of fricking ezio being the main character. 3 was a nothingburger, 4 was amazing though. Only reason I got it was I heard the boat parts were awesome as frick.
>play 4
>it's fun
>Get Odyssey for Christmas
>it's alright
And thus ends my experience with the series
Never played one, am I missing out?
I've heard good things about 1 and 2, and Black Flag is probably the most polished "authentic" experience before they devolve into RPG elementslop. Plus I really liked the story sans the modern day stuff
>"authentic" experience
It's authentic in a sense that it plays like an AC game but in the end It's a game about pirates more than a game about assassins.
Yeah that's what I meant
I've only ever played 1, 3 and 4
Halfway through brotherhood and never touched the series since. Didn't even dislike it or anything but it's too much of the same thing
rogue
AC1
They should never have went down the whole animus sci fi shit it was pointless
it was after 3 when they threw away the storyline. before it was tolerable
I still like the series, even if Odyssey was bland and Valhalla didn't have stealth. I wouldn't pay full price for any of the games, but I will buy Mirages on sale and I will buy the new black samurai one when it's sufficiently discounted as well.
3, played blackflag and it was okay and Odyssey was okay for a mindless romp I guess but other than that never cared for anything past 3.
>at what point did you stop caring?
After AC2
AC1 and AC2 are the only games in the series that I played. I liked them. Ah, and also a couple of addons for AC2, but they sucked ass.
And then I saw the trailer for 3 about LE COOL NATIVE AMERICANS and I was like "lmao don't care" and that was it.
To this day the first two games are the only AC games for me, I don't know anything about the others.
I was already starting to get fatigued around Black Flag, so much so that I ended up just abandoning it until I picked it back up a few years later, but it's when Syndicate came out that I went "yeah, frick this." Right now I'm trying to get through Origins, but the pacing is just awful. The first one is still my favorite, though.
Rogue
i have never played an assassin's creed game
I thought 1 was really bad but it had potential so i played 2, which was just straight up boring. After that i stopped caring.
played 2, brotherhood, revelations, and 3 back in the day and 3 was the last one
eventually realized it was the same game over and over and that game is pretty tedious so I stopped
even later I eventually realized that these games have so little going for them other than gud grafix and it's fun to kill people will the hidden blades. besides that it's "go here talk to this guy watch a shitty cutscene follow this guy and literally just walk and listen for 10 minutes" which is not fun at all. also the climbing was a pretty novel concept back in the day but then you eventually realize it's just "push the stick up and tilt it a little if you need to"
appeals to 12 year olds but once the novelty of AAA development wears off it wears off it's gone for good
I think the problem is you're going into AC looking for an intense stealth or action game when in actuality it's a collectathon. You can't hate AC unless you also hate Spyro/Banjo/Mario 64 etc. They're the same fricking genre whether people like to admit it or not.
>Effortless combat
>Lots of jumping around exploring areas to collect gizmos and whatsits
>Super relaxing to play while you're watching TV
If you go into the games looking for something like Spyro instead of Metal Gear Solid you'll find them very enjoyable.
I don't think spyro/mario/banjo are comparable to AC at all. those are sincere 3d platformers while AC games are action/adventure open world games. that's quite the false equivalence
I certainly wasn't looking for anything specific either I was young and wanted to play everything and anything. no expectations at all
I just don't like AC games and find them boring, it is what it is
About 3 minutes into the E3 reveal for the first one
1 and I think all the Ezio games.
I'm going to be real honest with you, ubishit incels.
I played Odyssey's story mode, didn't even do most of the side missions (because they were boring as frick) and then I played Shadow of Mordor or whatever LOTR's second game was that. Didn't even finish it, it was such a slogfest.
With those two games, I honestly had enough about this incel company and blacklisted them from my Steam account.
shadow of mordor isn't even ubislop
I stopped after Brotherhood and I wish I got around to Revelations and I started Black Flag but I just don't want to do the follow guy missions to get to the fun pirate stuff. I guess I'm a pleb idk
These games have always been shit, they literally started the modern AAAslop style game.
If I had known what they would bring I'd have accused Ubisoft office of drawing cartoons of Mohamed and let the world take its course.
Black Flag
Brotherhood was PEAK, Revelations and 3 were let downs. After Unity came out and was a buggy mess I never bothered with it or any other one until Odyssey, which was an big as a sea and as deep as a puddle. Heard Vikingslop was the same if not worse so never bothered with that either.
Brotherhood after doing an epic heckin loot tower for the 20th time
2
QRD on the overarching story? I only played the second game. Did they ever manage to stop the alien invasion?
Ass creed brotherhood multiplayer was fun
During 3. Only good part of that game was the twist early on when your playing as the father and it's revealed he is a Templar and not an assassin.
Played a bit of the first one, didn't really like it, never touched the series again.
Black Flag. AC was never that good again after it with Unity shitting itself constantly at launch and even a decade later, still shits itself here and there.
I stopped half way through Brotherhood and never played Revelation or 3 but I gave Black Flag a chance and it was okay but got insanely boring after 5 hours. Haven't touched one since.
Stopped caring for the present day story at Black Flag, but I gave up on the franchise after the Origins DLCs.
I still played all of them but Valhalla is such a steaming pile of shit I don't know if I have the heart to finish it...
I just want an AC2 remake.
Revelations was when i realized this series is going downhill and stopped playing after 4, despite enjoying it. I dont think its controversial to say that once the series jumped to 8th gen consoles it became a shadow of its former self
How could I forget about Revelations, I fricking pre ordered that game and it turned out to be such a disappointment.
Unity. Syndicate seemed bad and I hated the RPG route they took.
Never been interested. The whole idea about reliving memories using a machine makes the whole thing seem pointless and futile.
wtf does this even mean?
NTA, but I find narratives like that quite low stakes since the events have already happened in-universe.
What game introduced multiplayer? Brotherhood?
I remember finding that more fun to play than the actual story mode.
Revelations onward is a complete trainwreck. 3 was so incredibly bad.
at Brotherhood really, I never got around the last Ezio game and Black Flag and the ones after those simpy didn't look good at all
I played AC1, all of AC2, skipped 3 because I had no money, then played AC4 after that I stopped caring and pirated the games when I felt like wasting time
Unity had a rough launch, and I didn't even finish Syndicate. Really had no interest in the open world rpg stuff after that, but probably would have played a game set in japan with japanese characters.
Revelations
>YOU NOW HAVE A....HOOKBLADE
>AND BOMBS WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS
Wow what a revolution
AC1-2, great. AC3, decent.
Black flag, amazing.
Unity, alright.
Onward, no interest.
beat 3, felt cheated and never touched the franchise again
brotherhood
I stopped caring when I learned that the first game had a moronic ancient aliens machine plot rather than just being set in the past, and then never bought the first game and haven't bought any others either. Doesn't sound like I missed much.
Here’s what they should’ve done
>Make an Assassin’s Creed game set entirely in modern day to give a proper conclusion to the Desmond storyline
>After that, they’re free to make any AC game they want that’s set entirely in historical settings with no modern day story in the background weighing it down
>Also, don’t introduce magic bullshit. The pieces of Eden are meant to be ancient technology.
Black Flag.
I checked in for Chronicles though since it played like a 2.5D Prince of Persia and wasn't a bloated open world.
black flag
>marketers avoiding these threads like the plague
Funny.
No real anons actually still give enough of a shit about this series to stir up a shitstorm over it. Everyone either dropped it years ago or was never interested to begin with.
I played the first one, 2 and Black Flag. They were okay. Haven't had desire to play any in particular.
Hey, you guys remember AC Mirage?
That’s a game that came out.
What is it about Brotherhood that made everyone stop playing afterwards? I remember playing it too not really hating my experience with it but not returning back until Blackflag and Origins.
>at what point did you stop caring?
during 3.
Brotherhood, i didnt wanted exactly the same ass 2
never played after brotherhood
Honestly the second one
They went from 'this is an open world adverenture with multiple cities' to 'this is a highly story driven game and yeah it's open world but like... gotta get the story in bro'
It's kinda moronic since they really had nothing beyond 'lolz Jade Raymond is hot'
2
Despised brotherhood and revelations
Got very hyped but was let down by 3
black flag was the last I played, would've blown my mind if we hadn't already gotten to experience ships just 1 game prior (unnecessary addition in 3 imho) games bloated too much in size after that one.
Black Flag is the last one i properly played, but I skipped Revelations and AC3. AC2 is the best proper AC game. BF is a good pirate game but it could very well just not be AC at all.
Anything after that doesn't matter, and Odyssey and Valhalla are a fricking travesty.
3 but looking back 2 was when it started to go wrong.
>instead of interesting nuanced villains we have cartoon baddies
>no need to investigate, every baddie is immediately obvious and the only challenge is getting past security
>no need for disguising oneself just wear flashy robes all the time
>let's make a big historical figure the baddie oops looks like he lived for a long time guess our protag spares him for no reason
>the Medici were totally the good guys btw no moral ambiguity in helping them
>also frick the creed let's just say "nothing is true everything is permitted" repeatedly as if that's the creed now
Contrarian incel
honestly first one is the only that should had ever existed
Assassins creed 1
Brotherhood
Started getting fatigued by Revelations. When Unity came and shit the bed on launch I gave up on the series. Haven't played since and I have no desire to play again.
Revelations was a fine end for ezio he got a big titty wife out of the ordeal and closed out the Med saga
i only remember 3 because it had probably the dumbest dlc i have ever played in any game
All good things must come to an end.
Honestly? After AC Unity. I would say AC3 but I was still unsure about the direction the games would go until AC Unity.
Once they ended Ezio/Desmond trilogy i was done. That´s the peak and even the ending of revelations suffers from, let´s say, questionable quality. That said i played 2 other AC games after that. Unity, because i wanted to play a musketeer like character during the french revolution and there are virtually no other videogames on which you can do so (also Elise was cute, sue me) and Odyssey because i wanted to see Roman armors and their take on the greek world.
Luckily for me the games have no narrative continuity after Ezio and the present day plot is mostly a mcguffin to get the ball rolling.
3.
Never completed it. Did some boat shit then quit.
Played black flag but didn't do any of the story. did some boat shit then quit.
Last one I played was black flag, what did I missed?
Revelations is when it stopped being exciting, Syndicate was horrendous, Origins and Odyssey were fun in a non-AC way. I checked out completely at Valhalla.
Black Flag
Brotherhood for me.
Liked the first 2. Stopped paying them after I finished revelations.
The story was going nowhere and the gameplay was not really appealing to me.
Glad to see I was right in quoting because the story has still not gone anywhere after nearly 2 decades
I only cared for Blackflag and Rogue because it had cool ship fights.
Replayed most of the series recently
>AC1
Actually is prob my early game fav. The setting and tone is done well, the cities feel run down and the graphics hold up really really well. I played the directors cut version that added a bit more variety to the game, base game was very samey
>AC2
very fun, love the different cities. The gameplay is faster and more fun, stealth takes a sad hit. All the historical tidbids are fun, venice is beautiful, ending is dumb. Also didnt like how time just jumps 5 years by sitting on a bench, like wtf
Brotherhood> Rome is cool, loved learning about all the locations and how well the map is laid out. Story is ok, 2 was better. Didnt play the multiplayer.
Revelations> City kinda sucks and the story is pretty dumb. only good parts are the altiar moments. Ottomans being the good guys and Byzantines bad is so stupid, should have been neutral to the conflict. The cave city was neat though
>AC3
I really like american colonial history so that was fun for me. Playing as Haytham was 10/10 goat. Connor...ehhh...he has the best combat animations in the game. The game overall is OK. Not the best, not the worst. It gets stupid towards the end, the dramatic finale should have involved Haytham not some literal who. Like cmon its writing 101. The future stuff gets so stupid it almost kills the franchise.
>4
Love the pirate shit. Love Edward. Does a lot right. Story is pretty solid. Ship combat is fun. The future stuff DRAGS the game down hard. Here, lets take a break from being a pirate and do computer puzzles.
Ac rogue> its okay, kinda a more bland version of 4. Could have been cool if it really explored the templars better. The river map makes no sense geographically.
>Unity.
The best historical recreation of a city ever made, so amazing that they are using it to rebuild Notre Dame. Aside from walking around and really feeling you are in 1700s france, its pretty meh. It does have the most fluid parkour in the series
I stopped here
It would have been III but Black Flag hooked me back in because pirates. I got Unity with my PS4 but that was such a disappointment that it was the last time I touched the series. And judging by the fact that they tacked on shitty half assed RPG mechanics because the focus groups said to means I made the right choice.
Second game actually. I have yet to play its sequels although I would like to one day. I probably would play 3 and Black Flag to but would definitely stop there.
Never even played the first one tbh. I got a bunch for free via PS Plus, might try the Greek one at some point
Black Flag was the last AC I played.
Loved the pirate part, wasn't crazy about the assassin part.
3 probably. Honestly 1, 2, Broho/etc, were all pretty good. But the barrage of 2 and it's expansions is probably what soured most people. Sure did for me as 3 was just "more of the same" but also kind of boring. Never really played any of the others except 4 for like.. 3 hours then never again even though I got it for free.
I never played any of these. Which are worth a buy?
AC1, AC2 and Brotherhood are great, revelations is decent. In AC3 the formula started changing so it lost the feel of the original games
Watch a summary of 1 and just go straight to 2. 2 is easily the best early series game. 1 is not bad as much as people say, it's just rough, where 2 hammers it all out and it's very good. Even 2's expanded games are good if you like the setting and story.
I'd say most people agree you should definitely play 2 and 4; 1 if you're interested. Any of the others I honestly don't even think are that great or fun or interesting but some of their settings might interest you to try.
I stopped caring about the series at black flag, came back for origins/odyssey cause I wanted to explore ancient Egypt and Greece
I might give shadows a pirate to walk around Osaka/Kyotot or whatever cities they're doing, I'm not really interested in the actual game
When I played the first one on my cousin's Xbox 360 and realised it was a overhyped slog with good graphics for the time.
>1 through Brotherhood
>got bored of Revelations when I realized it might as well have just been Brotherhood 2.0, like Ezio enough but don't care for the circlejerk obsession a lot of the fanbase has
>played III, never did Liberation cause lmao the fricking Vita are you serious and the HD port came too late for me to care
>tuned out after Black Flag, decent enough but I think I was stretched thin after playing pirate for hours
>jumped back in for Origins
>got hundreds of hours out of Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla
>beat Mirage
Honestly, a pretty good time all around. I got my money's worth.
I unironically enjoyed the online multiplayer.
Here, when it was obvious this series peaked with the first game and everything that's going to come after it isn't actually going to address the core issues with the first game and instead chose to double down on them. This series has been the best litmus test in deciding if I should completely disregard someone's opinion about vidya in the fastest manner possible.
Blackflag is the only good one, such an overrated franchise.
Never did.
Was sort of interested in Odyssey but thankfully Ubishit built a natural deterrent into it via forcing their launcher so I never bothered.
I never cared in the fist place. I didn't care about the original. I watched a friend play 2 and didn't like it. I played 3 because I was bored and they gave it for free on ubisoft's platform and it was utter dogshit. I pirated black flag because it's allegedly the best one and it was a complete waste of time. I also played rogue and it was also shit but at least the ship gameplay was kind of fun. It had better ship gameplay than black flag. I've never even seen gameplay of unity, syndicate, origins, odyssey, valhalla or mirage.
