AC2 brotherhood, next question.

mikeslemonade3746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

The first one. It was all franchise fatigue after that.

edit:
Seahawks.. I hate Peyton. And I hate Richard Sherman, but I don't want Peyton to win another superbowl.

Kingthrash3603746d ago

lol! yeah after ac2bh...the homie E-Z-0 was the best assassin
.....BRONCOS BTW

theWB273746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

So the sequel that was released a few years after the first one was already fatigue? I honestly think that's hyperbole especially since 2 pretty much improved on every single aspect of 1.

On topic
AC is my favorite franchise and I've loved every single one...Revelations had the worst city. I hope they go back to a pretty old time period. Closer to AC1.

Superbowl
I hope Broncos smash the Seahawks. I'm a hoosier, Peyton did everything for our Colts. Win another one.

abzdine3746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

AC1 is the worst game of this gen to me. what a scam with all that repetitivity!
I bought AC2 because there was a price cut on it long after the release just to give it another chance. I noticed improvement from the garbage first episode but it was still very boring.
I hate this series it's so overhyped for nothing. Animation is poor, different character at each episode and they all run climb fight the same way..
I liked the Italian history touch from the AC2 that was all!

ShinMaster3746d ago

AC4 > AC2 >>> all others.

Hellsvacancy3746d ago

I preferred the original game, first PS3 game I played, loved it, yeah it gotta little boring but it was all new, never played a game like it

After that the AC games went downhill after each release, more and more of the same every year

Highlife3745d ago

I have to some what agree with abzdine. I was so hyped for the first game only to be given a game that it's so repetitive and the combat was so simplistic. I was so let down. I haven't bothered with any of the other games. Although I am planning on playing Black Flag when I get a ps4.

Super Bowl
@Mikeslemonade
Seahawks don't stand a chance. There offense is terrible. Wilson has been playing average at best. Frankly don't want to see Richard Sherman win. Try winning with class.

assassins creed 3 liberation is the best out of them all

Kingthrash3603746d ago

my second...woulda been first if they built it better. it had its problems but the story and main character were spot on.

AceBlazer133746d ago

2 was the best, downhill after that.

liquidhalos3745d ago

For me it was AC2, Ezio was my favourite

Retard3745d ago

Maybe I'm silly.. black flag was #1

cause it wasn't an AC generic game? I was so bored with AC after an hour I gave up, successors followed.

I picked up Black Flag cause hardly any RPGs hit launch next gen. Aside from weird Astergo moments, it was great

Snookies123746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

Gameplay-wise? AC IV. Overall? AC II.

Jyndal3746d ago

AC2 was the best imo.
Story was awesome, and for the time it released, the gameplay was so far beyond anything else.

brich2333746d ago

Assassins Creed 2 was the best in my opinion. I did like Assassins Creed 3 better than Black Flag. I didnt finish 1, Brotherhood and Revelations.

morganfell3745d ago

I am one of those odd people that prefer ACIII over the rest. Close to finishing IV now but they did so much right, and just a few things wrong, in III. I like that Conner didn't just put on the robes and suddenly he was an Assassin. He had to train and he had to earn them.

ACIII also had the most brutal combat. IV is just a lot of hacking and slashing. It is almost as if a different team developed that part of the game. And the ship combat in IV gets ridiculous when there are 15 boats out there circling everything. They just put too many ships in the game and ruins the thrill of the hunt.

However Ubi is developing this mornic habit of making you fight to get to a point in the game and then minute you earn an accolade and get ready to enjoy it the first time they take you out of the game for some ridiculous outside the animus experience. They did this in III the second you earn your Assassins robes and they do this in IV with your first ship capture where you tow it back to your new cove.

brich2333745d ago

I thought AC3 did have a better story than Black Flag. ANd all the boat stuff in Black flag was annoying. I only did 1 underwater segment and it was after I beat the game, there was no reason to go diving. I also thought the combat in AC3 was better as well.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske196d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid196d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot196d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno196d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot195d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface195d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot195d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69196d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar207d ago (Edited 207d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake206d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga206d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx206d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga206d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9206d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler207d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666206d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52206d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott205d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52205d ago (Edited 205d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara195d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52206d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner206d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52205d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster206d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot206d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster206d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned206d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9206d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1206d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake206d ago (Edited 206d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster206d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
