The Souls series was the new Assassin's Creed.
There was literally no evolution after DS1.

that may be true, but "ass as in greed" was never good.

AC1 was good. Dont deny it.

DS2 added:
being able to knock away shields and punish turtlers
viable dual wielding
torch lighting (even if they gutted most of the game's lighting engine)
actual changes to ng+ besides buffing enemies
backstabs not being instant like in DS1
parries no longer instant
a way to restore spell casts
severely nerfed poise so you could no longer faceroll attacks
DS3:
introduced an MP bar with a way to restore it
kept the non-instant parries of DS2 but took out the ridiculous "fall on your ass" animation
made stamina usage while running more bearable since in DS2 you could only run like 3 seconds before your character had an asthma attack
I'm sure there's more in there but it isn't the same thing every time

Assassin's Creed will go down as a classic. Sure, they kind of beat beat the thing to death, but prove me wrong bitch.

not bad but it was mediocre at best. Demon's and Dark Souls were absolutely glorious games.
There were direct improvements from 1 to 2. They actually downgraded dark souls from 1 to 2. So in that respect Was Creed is better.

AC 2 was much better you fucking casual assassino

>being able to knock away shields
Can do it in ds1
>muh op backstabs
Git gud
>mana bar
Are you really this new? Demons did it.
Assassin's creed's issue was that Ubisoft milked it to shit. They released a game every year for God knows how long.
The souls series released 4 games over a period of 7 years, that's pretty excusable. Minus Bloodborne which managed to spice up the formula a bit.

You do realise those aren't game changing right ? The only reason you guys are fine with the souls game is because they're sowewhat unique and decent.
But even AssCreed has more new stuff in every game than this
