AC was revolutionary. ACII improved upon AC in every way, and where AC was criticized for its repetitiveness ACII was praised for its variety. Brotherhood introduced multiplayer, which was not a hit on the charts but was without a doubt one of the most innovative multplayer modes the gaming industry has seen in many, many years (which is why I'm sad to see it go). Brotherhood also greatly improved upon the combat. Revelations introduced little to the table, but it did improve the combat slightly even more, and wrapped up the story of our beloved Ezio. ACIII introduced new parkouring mechanisms, but was criticized for its boring story and forgettable cast except for Haytham (which ACIII in Act III had one of the greatest plot twists in years). Though I will say ACIII had a great DLC in 'Mad King Washington,' and introduce naval gameplay which most people loved even more than ACIII itself, as it was very fun. ACIV brought AC back to killing instead of being an errand boy, expanded upon the much praised naval setting, had a very popular star, made the modern story more interesting, introduced fun new multiplayer modes, and has been called the best thing to happen to the series since ACII. Unity is introducing co-op, which many people- myself included- are very excited for. So in short... no, I don't think AC is annoying or needs to go away. It just keeps bringing new things to the table almost every time. It's one of the very few series that aren't just copy pastes each time.

Except CoD is shit and changes nothing while AC is constantly evolving.

AC 1 - good AC 2 - really good Brotherhood- alright Revelations- boring AC 3- didn't get AC 4 -got it for free, kinda boring Looking forward to unity, it looks like AC is going back to its roots

Good series overall. Unlike COD, each installment in AC actually tries to do something unique and different; just look at Black Flag compared to Brotherhood.

Love the series, but the releases need to be more spaced out. We are getting flat assassins (connor) and gimmicky stories (ac4). Hopefully ac5 brings it back to the Ezio glory days.

I think that the series is getting a little old, but co-op play should be fun in the newest game.

I started playing it from the beginning years ago, but I quit after Brotherhood. I loved it, but it was starting to get kinda old, being the same thing every year.

I think them building the whole franchise off of Desmond and then scrapping the storyline plot was the worst thing they could've done.

I stopped playing Assassins Creed in the middle of Brotherhood (never completed it). I just felt like the series was too repetitive and the world was too big for its own good. Then I saw they added the whole navel combat thing and I thought it was cool but I have no idea as to how shooting cannon balls at a ship was being an assassin. Everyone seemed to love it and it was pretty original (the navel combat). I almost thought about giving those games a second chance. Then they announce Unity. They replace the competitive multiplayer with co-op and strip the navel combat from the game because of the setting. I don't really care about the PvP but the fact that they replaced it with co-op really bothered me because it is completely unoriginal. Its almost as if the developers said "Hey whats really popular right now, that all the other devs are doing it? Co-Op? Okay! Lets put co-op in this b*tch!" Don't get me wrong it looks fun. I just think Assassin's Creed has officially become the Call of Duty for sandbox games.

Least in unity they are overhauling the game I'm glad they are changing stuff

Agreed

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Noooo I love AC

AC, like any annual franchise, is a crap shoot. Black Flag was pretty good but that's due to the pirate stuff. III and Revelations were pretty weak. I wouldn't be surprised if Unity is weak too given it lacks the pirate gameplay.

Unity looks like an improvement.

my favorite was ac3, i want to get the collectors edition of unity because i saw some really cool stuff like a 16 inch figure and a music box.
