So many Assassin's Creed games.. which one is worth skipping?

Now that Black Flag has been announced, there will be 6 Assassin's Creed games out there. A lot of people disliked the first one, but if you were to recommened an entry to skip for a new comer, which one would it be? The story might make it worth revisiting some of the old ones even though the gameplay doesn't quite hold up when compared to the new ones.

I personally have played only 1 & 2 so I'm considering skipping Brotherhood and Revelations and moving on straight to III and eventually IV. Do you think I should skip those two games?

the main character is probably the worst part of the game, after playing as such a charismatic, awesome character like Ezio that is so full of personality, i don't know wtf they were thinking with the AC3 main character. and the frontier tree running stuff gets boring after like 10 minutes, the towns are small in comparison. and i feel that is what AC games are all about, the city environment and stealthily running from rooftops and stuff feeling like a badass.

None is worth skipping for each has some interesting things to add to the franchise and several different things that several different people may like

I hated the first and had no interest in playing the others after that one. Went against my better judgement and played the 2nd and loved it. Brotherhood was enjoyable as well. Didn't play revelations because I was getting burnt out on them at the time. Heard its good though. Bought 3 super cheap when it was released, its trash and it felt like playing the first one again. Forced myself through it and sold it right away which I rarely do with games

Personally, I'd skip the original Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed III. One is a good game that's plagued with repetitive gameplay and an awful notoriety system (Assassin's Creed) while the other is a okay game with identity crisis, boring protagonist, and disappointing conclusion to the "trilogy"'s story (Assassin's Creed III).

The Ezio Trilogy is only worth playing in my opinion.

play them all.

III is sadly the worst of the group in my opinion. I would skip it for sure if it had to be just 1. I really like the others, but III just sucks imo... I tried to like it, I really did, but it just felt forced and out of place. When the first two hours of the game is the best part and it goes downhill from there, that is never a good thing. I would suggest steer clear of this title.
