AC1 was the only good one.

Now it's just a copy paste yearly realease.

AC1 sucked ass. Hail AC2 and brotherhood.

[Fwasm]

What? ACU was the best one, yeah it had like 2 glitches, but it had the best story and performance.

I really like AC1 and 2, however I dislike the fact I had to mandatorily execute some actions in AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations in order to proceed the campaign. Yes, I know there were those "synchronism events" needed for the Animus, but AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations are basically the same game with a wonderful progressing story but all of them have the same and boring gameplay.

Assassin's Creed III was the one I liked the most for a a lot of reasons. I can't tell about Black Flag or Unity because I haven't played them and I don't plan to do so once I must agree this is a franchise that needs either some serious evolution or interruption.

I thought AC4 was the best personally.

Best pirate game I ever played, even better than Sid Meiers Pirates to me.

I think Brotherhood was the second best because I love the era and setting.

Pst - Assassins Creed was a co-op Prince of Persia spin-off called Prince of Persia: Assassins back in 2005, then they turned it into stand alone game.

Yes, few things in life is as exciting as 2 hours lenght horse ride between two cities after every mission. AC1 was a masterpiece at that aspect.

So in other words, they got realism down.

[v00d00m4n]

AC1 was best one because It was realistic, it was stylish, it was conceptual, it was soild and it was single story of past that was a prequel to story of future that shoul end the game..

Since AC2 it simply gone wild, became unrealistic, lost the concept and stuck in self-repetive pattern.

Logic of AC1 was like that:
This should be a single trip into animus, to find out apple of edem and prepare Desmond to be an assassin.
In sequel Desmond should be a modern-age assassin, who fights modern Templars and story should have ended soon.

As far as i know that was initial plan, show past once and then show the future.

But instead Ubisoft decided that they should repeat same thing about animus and past, and only changed era and far-fetched reasons of going back in past, then they did it again in AC 2 addons and AC3, and even after Desmond was finished they stuck and started to far fetch new reason to go back to animus and past again and again. Game just lost the track of original idea and it never showed that modern Assassin game that should have ended series, which never supposed to be endless.

I think thats the reason why creative director and author of AC (Patrice Desilets) left Ubisfot right after releases of AC2, which i think was forced to be like that agains original idea of sequel Patrice had. And every other AC without him was going far and far away from original game.

Oh yeah, and one more thing - AC1 was the only game where Assassins's design actually made sense as cover, in rest of games this HOODY design was a total nonsense, instead of looking stealthy in AC2+ other games Hoody highly decorative design attracted too much of attention.

I really wish to see alternate AC2 release that solely happens in future, like a Mirror's Edge meets Hitman Blood Money and some little GTA (not like Watch-Dogs did), without any animus and with a decent ending of story, not that crap that happened in AC2-AC3.

AC1 was terriblly repetitive. AC2 and Brotherhood were the best. I liked Revelations, too. I didn't make it half-way through AC3 or Black Flag. I haven't even played Unity yet and probably won't play this one either.

[Jonboy]

UBi seem to be squeezing one out every 12 months now.

[BloodyStirge]

AC1 and AC2 were alright, after that the quality continually dropped off. Now it's just the combat equivalent of DDR.

AC has been an annual franchise since AC2.

[Commander Tom]

Totally right, The ONLY good one. Keep on pushing them out ubi. AC1 had a believable story and did not have launch DRM problems.

This is the only answer.

But to be fair, the real world side of things for AC1 was so intriguing, that it was literally the only thing that kept me going.
