What is your opinion of the Assassin's Creed series?
Never really understood the appeal. People always say the new ones are shit but 1 or 2 was good, but even 1 and 2 were both garbage. They have really shallow, unchallenging, uninteresting gameplay, and make up for it in typical ubisoft fashion by just making really boring fetch quests and collectibles and throwing about 100 hours of them around. That isn't fun, challenging, interesting, or engaging, and I am baffled at its continued success as a game design model.

Played the first one. It was boring.

AC1 was fun and neat and one of my favorite last gen games. I never got around to playing the Ezio trilogy but I played the "where's Charles Lee" simulator and the pirate ship sailing simulator, both were pretty mediocre but 4 was a step in the right direction, sort of.
Recently bought a PS4 and played Unity, dropped that shit so hard. Might try Syndicate after my roommate picks it up and lets me know how it is.
I like the premise and idea, but far too many times do the games steer away from actual assassinations.
Here's to hoping 2016 will be a better year for the series.

Not that good, never was, never will be.

I only played the first one. It was trash. One of the most horribly repetitive games I played.
I played them all. Don't know why, I only enjoyed a few of them.

I played 1 and never understood how this got a franchise. It's literally atari 2600 game at its heart with modern graphics.
One had a heck of a decent story. Ungodly repetitive gameplay.
Second fixed all that, and still had a decent story.
Everything after went to shit when they abandoned their original plan of making a trilogy, and started milking the series.

Ubisoft can't write decent characters and story to save their lives
1 was crap.
2 was really good.
Brotherhood was crap
Revelations was crap
They've already squandered some of the best possible historical scenarios (Russian Revolution, Fall of the Roman Republic) on side games and lore, and the fact that they insist on only going forward in time means that they're fast running out of viable settings. I like the rumors of the Irish Civil War and Prohibition Chicago settings, but after those everything is already covered in the lore up till modern day, so what really left is there?
It's a series chock full of completely wasted potential and a pretty decent pirate captain simulator
