He is correct though. Each of the gameplay pillars (stealth, combat, parkour) have been improved upon in meaningful ways. They are still not that great, but they are def better than they have been. Sadly it's hidden behind the atrocious mission design :(.

Liberation was a much better game.

i want to try out Liberation.... but im not a fan of handheld gaming at all. if if ever comes to consoles (lol ya right) then i will definitely play it.

First AC. The information you gathered were actually useful to get best optimal assassination plan, that is if all the info gathering mission were completed. I remember I had to re-read all gathered info for hints to get past without being detected. These made me feel more like role playing an assassin. Plus, each target told their motive and reason when they're dying.

I was a solid start. II and Brotherhood are superb games, kicked ass in every way. Revelations felt stagnant and unnecesary. III is a disappointment to me. Buggy mess, too many tutoirials and cutscenes, Desmond stuff sucky as always, and gameplay changes for the worse. (Can't even swing a sword without targeting someone? Get rid of the quick select weapon wheel and use a pause screen instead? Ugh) Id rank them II = Brotherhood > Revelations > I > III

See, i love the first 4 AC games, but, i cant even begin to tell you of all the times i was running the rooftops and then randomly ran up a chimney or an invisible wall, or i was running along some wooden beams and then tried to jump to the next one and then shot off in the opposite direction, or was climbing up a wall and tried to do a climb-jump but ended up ejecting off the whole damn building and falling to my death........ stuff like that :P In AC3, I never had any of that happen. i felt more in control. when i wanted to jump somewhere, thats where i landed every time. i do agree though, mission design was piss poor.

I felt the exact opposite, I felt least in control in AC3. I guess mileage may vary, it's a complex movement system and different gamers will have different experiences with it.

AC3, I wasn't even a big AC fan, even though I played all the main games. Than I played AC3, GOTY 2012 for me.

[QUOTE="Kevlar101"] Anyone who said Revelations needs a slap..... And I said AC3..... only for gameplay. Its no debate: AC3 has the best gameplay of the series. Its not rough as hell anymore. But for story, AC2 and Brotherhood take the cake.Sushiglutton

parkour isn't better at all. they added incredibly fake looking trees to climb on, but the towns... ugh it's just a hassle because there is no flow at all from rooftop to rooftop. meanwhile it's too damn easy to be seen by someone nowhere near connor which results in nonstop respawning enemies. at least in other games, when i engaged a single soldier in an alley, this didn't happen. also this game had more glitches in my personal experience than ANY other AC game. only other one i remember having problems with was the first game on the ps3 and that's because it occasionally froze until they patched it a few weeks into release.

Revelations was awesome. So was brotherhood and assassin creed 2.  I  haven't played one but have played 3 and it sucked. If I had to rate  it would probably be AC2>AC:REV>AC:Brotherhood > AC3.  AC3 is Super Paper mario bad. It ruined the franchise for me

l > ll = Brotherhood > lll > Revelations

AC left me in awe playing through it. ACll & BH didn't give me the same feeling, but were still amazing. AClll was terrible, but unlike Revelations, didn't feel completely unnecessary.

Revelations had the coolest city, and best mission designs. It wasn't a terrible game unlike AC3

Enjoyed the first the most as it felt like something new then. Got old roughly halfway through the 2nd one. Though I did end up buying all of them anyway.

AC3 had the best animations, especially in combat. Damn, some moves were so awesome that I actually went to the trouble of recording them.

That said, gameplay in AC game has never been strong. The parkour is ok and great to look at, but is very simple. That not a problem per se, but it could be more engaging. Combat was ok at best, and that is with the changes AC:B brought, before that it was less than ok. And the stealth? Damn, sometimes I didn't even know if there was any stealth machanics in those games.

AC strength is its presentation, the world they create and its high production values.

I think that II is the best. The problem with 3 is Connor, he is a terrible character I haven't even finished the game because I can't stand him

 Every assassins creed was good except for the 1st one. Haven't played the 3rd one yet.

Some of you are just weird. Seriously. Assassin's Creed 3 improved just about everything from gameplay variety, graphics, general production values, combat mechanics, traversal mechanics, narrative, to setting. Now some of those things are fairly subjective, but let's be honest, some of those things are not reasonably debatable.

The series was growing somewhat stale for me, but Assassin's Creed 3 is fantastic and brought me back. Now I'm actually excited for AC Black Flag.

What's wrong with him? Ezio was by far my least favorite. Altair and Connor are both much more relatable for me.

Unpopular choice, but I thoroughly enjoyed Revelations. I could perhaps go to a stretch and say 2 was better because it seemed to have more content, or rather more relevant content, but I did have a blast with Revelations.

The more I look back at AC3, the more sour I feel about buying it day one.

II and Brotherhood were the best ones, they had the best set of characters and story that I have ever seen. The gameplay was so fun and there was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to do that you never get bored. :) III was good/alright, it had a brilliant franchise-defining new combat system that was very fluid and the naval missions were very fun. The setting was intriguing and new but the problems was that the story was very boring and dragged on a lot and Connor wasn't a strong enough character to be as memorable as Ezio or Altair. Some of the side missons were not well done and were quite uninteresting. AC and Revelations were very bad. They had horrible gameplay, pointless story and very boring side missions. The only good things were Altair, for being a badass character, and the Hookblade, the only good thing to come out of Revelations. The summary of the multiplayer is that Brotherhood was alright but promising. Revelations was a very good and addictive multiplayer but AC III had horrible servers where I can't connect to play it, it was very frustrating. I connected well with Brotherhood and Revelations servers, so they changed something to make it impossible to connect. Note, I haven't changed my internet in five years. P.S. I keep singleplayer views very separate from multiplayer views.

The best overall value/quality is Brotherhood without question... It has the excellent MP and SP... and people, we're talking about ROME here.... amazing game.  That said, Assassins Creed 2 is the game most people will likely vote for as it is the game that first got the formular right.  You can't go wrong picking either.

yeah, 3 was a let down for many reasons, though I did enjoy the game and played it through... Revelations was also good, but I cant say great... While I enjoyed the backdrop and the collision of Ezio and Altier, The game itself felt like it had a malaise on it... like, been there done that, type feeling....and the tower defense was blahhhhh.... But again, I still enjoyed the game quite a bit. Ive said it before and ILl say it again... Assassins Creed's magic is in its ability to surround the player with things to do within a small distance at all times.... AC3 went wrong when I had to fast travel (yes, fast travel :( ) to other maps and places completely in order to do the most insignificant of tasks.... They took the essence of the game away with that design choice. Sadly, I dont think they even realize it.

I would say the first game. I struggled to get through the second installment. It was a chore to finish the game. Since then, I haven't played any of the more recent titles.

AC3 has the best gameplay. AC2 was just the first game in the series to get it right and every game that follows has been a glorified remake with a few gameplay tweaks. Ubi needs to give the series a rest for a few years so they can make a new game that improves upon AC2 like AC2 improved upon AC.

I think many people will pick AC2, and for good reason.  But personally, my favorite was Brotherhood.  The fiction and story hadn't yet taken turns that I didn't like (as later installments did), and I absolutely ate up the multiplayer.  It was a blast.  Rome could've been better, but I loved building it up, capturing areas, assassinating the Templars that were in the multiplayer portion, and destroying Da Vinci's war machines.

I'd say 3 I guess. They have improved from year to year. Only exception being Revelations. I really had to force myself to finish the last portion of that game.

2, hands down; the story beginning from the execution of his father & brothers all the way up to the epic revelation in the vault. Also, Ezio being a ladies man, handsome, and was a more compelling character than Altair & Connor. Brotherhood was an expansion of 2, for me 3 had an epic story; having that Pocahontas feel of starting in London & sailing to America for a new beginning, seeing inside Indian culture, and the epic series of battles & events...but overall, was one of those types of games (and protagonists) where you either loved it, or hated it. But Connor was hott! 1 was new & fresh for it's time, and exploring in the land of the Bible and how the religious leaders were actually atheist (obviously) and using the Crusades not for God or Jesus, but for themselves...although Altair was arrogant and overconfident (from his Gnostic atheism to his superiority complex), he was badass. Revelations; the climatic ending, Altair's flashbacks, and the Ottoman conspiracy were the only elements that did it for me...OH and especially "Desmond's journey"

Assassin's Creed II easily. Gameplay-wise, AC III was better. But gameplay was never the strong point of AC. (Of course, depeding on what you consider "gameplay" to begin with) AC II managed to cause this sense of wonder in me. I simply loved running across rooftops in Florence and gallopping across Tuscany on horseback. Running around AC III's Frontier was also a slightly similar experience, but pales in comparison to what AC II offered. And then there was Ezio. Connor was way more of a "good guy" than Ezio in AC II was. Whereas Connor wanted to protect his people, Ezio was driven purely by revenge. But that in itself made him a lot more relatable. Game director Ashraf Ismail says that AC IV has been inspired by AC II, and I hope he means it. AC II is that high point of the series that has since then been unreachable. It'll be great if AC IV even comes close.
