AC 3 or Revelations?

[Cobara]

Hey there,

I am new to the Assassin's Creed series, but have been thinking about picking up one of the games. Now the newer titles (not 1 and 2) are on sale, which one would be good to start with? I guess my budget would be about 10E max (AC3 deluxe). Would you recommend 3 or Revelations? Or something else?
Thanks in advance :)

you'd better play ac4 before you play ac3

Personally I'd say start with 1. I mean if it's between not playing at all and playing one of the newer ones, then go for it, but:

Assassin's Creed
Bloodlines
II
Brotherhood
Revelations
III

All form one more or less complete story. 1, Bloodlines, and Revelations follow Altaïr. II, Brotherhood, and Revelations follow Ezio, and all of those collectively are about Desmond.

So far I've loved the whole series. III is the first one where I noticed some real bugs, though they weren't game breaking and considering how complex the games are they work amazingly well.

My recommendation is either Brotherhood or AC III, those are my favorite.

[Wolfpup3]

They're all good, but my problem is like Brotherhood is the second in Ezio's story, the fourth overall. III's "main" story is new and fairly self contained, but it's kind of a conclusion, or at least major major major point in the metastory since the first one, soooo...

To me I still think starting from 1 is the way to go.

Thank you all kindly for your opinions :) I went with AC III, since at that time, only the newer games were on sale. If I and II had been too, I would indeed have started at one. I have to say, I'm enjoying the game so far, it was a good purchase. If more people have an opinion on the matter, please keep replying, though I have made the choice myself the topic could be useful for other users with the same question :)

I suggest buying every single AC that goes on sale :)

I've played all the way up to AC3, and I enjoy them all. AC4 next XD pretty excited.

Yeah, I'm amazed I've now played the first SIX games in the series, and I'm STILL excited about playing the next one!

I like them so much I could actually conceive of starting the next one after finishing one, but don't because it takes me a few months to play through one, and I can't ONLY play AC LOL.

Next up is:
-Liberation
-Black Flag
-Freedom Cry
-Rogue
-Unity
-twelve more games unveiled at E3 this year, no doubt LOL

Geez, I'm still FIVE games behind!

Don't bother with liberation and unity

[neutrino]

Liberation would be an okay Sunday afternoon diversion if it weren't for the stupid swamp area and all the row boat travelling.

[Wolfpup3]

Well I'm playing Liberation anyway, probably on Vita :-D Thanks though!

What's this about Windows 10 and Ubisoft games? 10's in beta (if that) soooo I mean there could be issues with it that won't be there in the final OS. Works fine in Windows 8 anyway.

In my opinion,Assassin's creed 3 started really slow but I prefer 3 though. Have fun! :)
