Imagine you have never played Assassin's creed before...ever. You see a trailer for AC1 and a trailer for Black Flag. Which one do you choose? Rhetorical questions because Black Flag has everything that AC1 has plus better graphics, more features, larger world, etc... But of course if you have played all of them then you might not agree due to repetition. You have to remember that an army of children is coming of age to play games like these each and every day and Black Flag, for instance, is their AC1. I mean ya'll all like video games, but how many of you can honestly say that as kids when you got your first system, that you were dying to go back and play older, slower systems, with ancient graphics. I love old game personally, but ones that I have played before. And as I have gotten older I can appreciate going back and trying those older ones. But at 13 or 14 years old? Not likely. And if Black Flag was my first Assassin's Creed game I would feel differently about them, likely, than if I had played all of the ones before. It would all be new. There would be no such thing as a formula because it would have been my first experience. Good story? Again with this line of thinking this is one of my first video games to play so I have never seen a story like it. I didn't play these games just a couple of years ago. Galaga's story wasn't amazing but I loved it as a kid. So the question is: Have they changed? ...or have you?
