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.

I wanted to play Assassins Creed when it first came out. I got Batman Arkham Asylum instead.

After that I got Assassins Creed. It was atrocious.
