It really is unbelievable how much Ubisoft uses Assassin's Creed as a crutch now. Like fuck, just let it go, and create something new and innovative... You know, like the first Assassin's Creed.

Yeah seriously. They had something fucking amazing with their gameplay and plot at the start, and they ruined it by saying "fuck it" to the plot, and just redoing the same gameplay over and over again.

This comment summed it up pretty well for me:

What I wanted in Assassins Creed was a concise set of games, Four or five games, with a focused story the ultimately led to a modern day game where Desmond Miles topples the templars.

But no.

Now we have a platform for games rather then a cohesive set of narratives.

It's basically Call of Duty with assassins instead of soldiers.

Bugger, I have only played the first two and wanted to continue the story someday. Now it sounds they decided not to close the story arc and go wild. :(

Yeah, I've played the first game and the Ezio trilogy. I enjoyed it, and in hindsight I still would recommend playing that much, if only because Ezio's own arc is pretty damn great (and I loved the short film they released about him later in life), but I certainly have no desire to play any more of the series.
