The most overrated series of this generation! LET'S HATE!

- This generation of games is indeed arguably the worst gaming has seem in a long time, but some games just bring the crap level insanely high, even though some people just absolutely love them.

When we're talking the most overrated series of this generations, we're talking Assassin's Creed.

...

- It sickens me when I hear people say, 'Assassin's Creed is one of the most influential games this gen' and lines such as that.

- The first issue that shames the series is how they attempt to draw you in with 'engaging stories', when the story is one of the most laughable things about this series. The first Assassin's Creed game had no story at all. It was poorly conceived, poorly told, and absolutely no one cared enough about the first garbage game in the series to spend hours trying to piece together the sloppy story. The second games story is a simple revenge story, better than the first, but not really remarkable, and the story of the last two games can be summed up as, 'Political Unrest'. Cue sleeping. Now before anyone calls me a stupid c**t who can't understand storylines worth s**t, bear in mind Metal Gear Solid is my favourite series. Enough said.

- The controls are overly complex. Complex, yes, but you do eventually get accustomed to them, and then you'll be playing like a pro. However, the controls didn't seem to be tested well at all. Whenever I'm running away from anyone, I'll find my self tripping over people, glitching my way through poles, and jaggedly ambling up the sides of walls like a drunk cow.

- The missions in the original Assassin's Creed is what made the game horrible. Cripplingly repetitive missions. The first game can be summed up as, 'Viewpoint, save citizen, veiwpoint, pickpocket, veiwpoint, save citizen, listen in, assassinate'. Just repeat that about eight times and you win. Yay. The second game and its sequels did a much better job in this regard though, so I'll take it easy.

- 'You've played one, you've played them all.' The icing on the cake is that these games are incredibly similar, and they seem to hate innovation.

Assassin's Creed 3 could be just what the series needs. Innovation, a new setting (I love American history, the revolutionary war, etc.), so this could redeem an awful series, and maybe turn it into something great.

Alright, start hating and telling me how 'I'm not a true gamer'.
