i like actually playing the games though

i'll play pirate sim 2018 if i wanna just aimlessly steer a ship around

I only played up to Brotherhood. Both II and Brohood were great, but I personally enjoyed Brohood more due to the assassin raising thing. Always love raising simulators.

Well, if you don't like the boat games, Origins is actually pretty well received.

Didn't AC2 have that?

It sounds like I'll have to give Origins and Brotherhood a try though

What a nonsense response. You're still playing the game when your out on the ocean as there's ship battles, ship wrecks to dive down too and lots of islands and towns to explore. Nothing "aimless" about it.

I thought Black Flag was unbelievably good
---

I actually didn't like controlling the ships because I felt it was too hard.

Rogue was a favorite of mine.

It was a great pirate game with Assassin's Creed name and skin. Didn't really feel like an AC game.
---

Do we all agree that AC3 was bad though? That was the last game where I was really thrown off the series and I didn't play much after that

I had started playing the pirate one and I wasn't a fan
---

stop saying Black Flag was fun, that one is pure garbage that only NONE AC fans would like

the none fans are those NOT into stealth that want to ride boats and shoot guns...smh horrible

AC UNITY was the last true to the essence AC & Brotherhood( ONLINE mode), anything after that was ass....

Syndicate= WANNABE BATMAN

Origins= WANNABE WITCHER

AC3 had a 6 hours Prologue tutorial.......

the concept was cool but the overall aspect you can tell they lost themselves in the process.
---

AC3 should have starred Haytham or whatever his name was at the beginning for the entire game with the he's a Templar reveal being the ending
---

AC 4 was a fantastic game though I missed the earlier games with big cities and rooftop running, something i haven't seen since Ezio's games. The most recent game I played was Rogue. While it was a fun mechanic, once Rogue was over sailing and pirating had stayed it's welcome and I'm glad it was time to move on from it.
---

There are more good games after 2 than bad ones

Brotherhood, Black Flag, Rogue, Syndicate, Origins
---

Ac 3 was the last game with heart to it. Despite it being flawed.

Origins is the best post desmond game by far
---

Good Tier:
AC
ACII
Brotherhood
ACIII
ACIV
Origins

Okay Tier:
Bloodlines
Revelations
Rogue (good, but too short)
Unity
Syndicate

Shit Tier:
Altair's Chronicles
Discovery
Liberation
Chronicles

what ever one that feels the least like AC.
---

AC 4:BF
Rogue
Syndicate
Origins

All of these are great post Ezio trilogy AC games.
---

origins is an improvement but you dont care about the story or the characters, at all.

this is my main thing. i loved exploring historical Italy etc., running through city streets

Black Flag, Syndicate, and Origins were all well received.

I enjoyed Unity enough to finish it at least.

Unity, Syndicate, and Origin are all great.

As someone who's played everything in the main series except Origins:

2>Black Flag> Brotherhood> Syndicate> 3>Rogue=Liberation> Revelations> 1= Unity

2, Black Flag, and Brotherhood of the best games I've ever played, no hyperbole.

2 improves on 1 in pretty much every way. I just beat 1 properly this year and holy shit is it the epitome of repetitive. It also has one of the best final boss fights ever.

Black Flag was so good I 100%'d it. The ship combat aside, there is plenty to say and do on land, Edward is the most realistic protagonist in the series, it has an ending that doesn't leave you guessing for once, and the combat never gets old, especially ship plundering.

People keep bitching about 3's long ass intro segment (which is fair) but once the game opens up it becomes probably one of my favorite in the series. The world is just so much fun to roam around in, and the inclusions of seasons make it even moreso for me. This is probably the first game in the series where the Assassin/Templar fight feels bigger than just you, and the amount of things to do can be staggering, even if some of them aren't as great as the others.

Rogue is Black Flag 2, and while it's back in colonial times, it's not really better or worse than Black Flag. The story makes the Assassin's comedically evil and the Templars comedically good, and it's kinda on the short side. Still definitely worth picking up.

Liberation is a mobile AC, and has many of the things you'd hope that were in 3. However, the audio quality is iffy, the three persona mechanic can be clunky at times, and the story is just barely there. Still recommend playing it after 3 though, I've heard most people preferred it over 3.

Revelations is only worth playing if you care enough about Ezio or Altair, which I did. Their personal storylines are concluded satisfyingly here, but the primary conflict in Constantinople was so boring that I couldn't wait to go back to the Ezio/Altair segments. That being said, those Altair missions are some of the best in the series.

Unity....fucking Unity. Despite being set in my dream era of the French Revolution, the game does very little meainginful stuff with it. Arno is Ezio-lite, and has no real reason to be in the Assassin's this game other than his father was in it. Some of the memories just feel like plain busywork, the performance was atrocious when it came out and now just became playable, and there is a dumb amount of chests to open. It's still worth playing today, but imagine how pissed I was paying $60 for it.

1 is the epitome of repetitive. I'm playing through it right now just to say I did, and holy shit. No fast travel, Altair climbs like a turtle, every single memory is the exact same in terms of presentation, and the modern-day story makes just about no progress. Still looks incredible in 4K though.

*continuing next post before I run out of space*

Syndicate is everything Unity shouldve been and more. Jacob and Evie are likable protagonists even if theyre not the brightest, the gang system makes you feel like London is actually being influenced by your changes, and it took the climbing system from Unity and made it even better with various little changes and the big grappling hook.

How do you take something so good (AC2) and make it even better? Idk how, but Brotherhood managed to do it. From the character models to the environments to the story, if theres one game you want to 100% its probably this one. The story is a direct sequel to AC2 and picks up right at the end of it, so definitely want to play 2 first.

Revelations was my last fav

lots of words

Alright well it sounds like I'm gonna try out Brotherhood first, then I'll try Black Flag again.

I think the era's presented in Unity and Syndicate sound pretty interesting too. Are they fun gameplay wise?

Unity no, Syndicate yes.

Part of Unity's problem is that the world building is mostly nonexistent. You're thrown into the French Revolution, and the Templars are responsible for the actual revolution, for some reason. Arno story-wise has no reason to be an assassin. The Assassin's Order in France are mostly older, noblemen and he's a rogue. The people you kill only have death flashbacks and not conversations to explain themselves. You'd have to read fucking NEWSPAPERS for an idea of what's currently going on in-game, or what year it is. Elise is a good supporting character but her relationship with Arno is so dramatic it's forced.

My favorite part of Unity, is the amount of weapons you can use. They feel meaty and different.

Which is good, because you only have that primary weapon. No hidden blade, no side weapons, no upgrading your pistol. Fucking Unity.

Syndicate in comparison, is a blast. The RPG elements and perks make you feel like playing each character, London is nice and open and they make it easier to get up and climb down walls, and the story is so over the top like how an Assassin's Creed game should.

k adding Syndicate to my list then

Brohood and Black Flag are gettin a good amount of love itt so I'll try them both out too
