looks like it will be better than third and revelations but not as good as 1,2 and brotherhood

Revelations may have been the best one, if its gameplay had not almost entirely been copied from brotherhood. Like, except the hookblade, nothing ever was new, and you don't pay 30$ (now 20) just for a DLC type thing. Brotherhood was the best, and Hustlayo agrees with me on that.

Actually, you can say the same about Brotherhood comparing to ACII, because only numbered games brought some bigger changes. And that's the point. Every next game from Ezio's trilogy was better than its antecedent due to lots of minor improvements (OK, tower defense in Revelations was bad).
But for me the most important thing was progression of Ezio. Actually, ACII, Brotherhood and Revelations are parts of one big game about his life. At the beginning he was arrogant, annoying asshole, but years of war with Templars changed him much and eventually he became a real respectable leader of Assassins. And as the ending of Ezio's story Revelations is simply the best. You know, I love it for just one scene - when you had to give flowers to Sofia. It really bought me in this particular moment.

This. I prefer brotherhood because new combat, combo streak, recruit assassins, rebuild rome. Not so much vengeance and vengeance, but more things to do. Horseplay (okay, that was in II, but very less, and only in the open). Thief/Courtesan/Mercenary Guild. Some of the stuff I love to do. Almost like an Age of Empire with Assassin Gameplay. And the legendary crossbow. All of this stuff revelations copied, with nothing new. But yep, flowers for Sofia was one good moment

Well, I should have write it a bit more clear. As you already said, Revelations is just updated Brotherhood, the same as Brotherhood is a better version of ACII. There weren't many changes in gameplay, true, but the most important thing in whole series - story - was different. We finally had a chance to meet Ezio as a noble human, not only a killer machine. This already mentioned picnic scene was just a catalizator and alerted me to this. I found out Revelations isn't only a stopgap or moneymaker but also a final episode of Ezio's history and does it in fricking good style (unlike like ACIII's ending). That's why I think it's the best game in the series.

None of the newer games could beat the atmosphere of the first game...

The 1st game sucked balls, for me at least. 2nd was best. And let's not kid ourselves here, all of them are mediocre games at best.

I don't know what he means, but what you're saying is wrong... The end wasn't as interesting as ACIII's ending for sure. I mean, wtf happened? We need explanations, and we will surely get them. AC1 end's seems so interesting because you didn't know what the main story is... The whole thing about Assassins and Templars was barely showed.

I think you wanted to reply on my post.
In my opinion the main plot of ACIII was bad, really bad. Sure, at the end of the first game we didn't know almost anything what happens there. And you're right, it was very interesting because we found out this is much bigger case.
5 years and 4 games later we knew quite much about the war, First Civilization and cataclysm and expected really epic finale. Instead we got more new questions than answers and worse choice of two bad variants.
"Nothing is explained, everything is meaningless"? Nope, that is not what I've been waiting for 5 years.

I loved the first game. Sure the game play was repetitive, but at the time there was truly nothing like AC1. The story was magnificent and the environment was wonderful.

The irony of you bashing AC and CoD, yet having a BF4 icon:
Priceless.

Black Flag will surely be better than ACIII.
About all those guys who say "AC2 was the best, AC3 was a terrible game"...
You didn't even try to think about the differences of the titles...
AC1 was a prototype/pilot title. It was cheap and pretty repetitive. It HAD an interesting ending, but surely not as interesting as other titles.
AC2 was a DRAMA. The whole game was based on love. But WHY? Because the game was trying to tell you that life is full of joy and love, but full of sadness and injustice too. That's a drama. And the game wanted to tell you that because you may think you have a great life that will never be changed, it doesn't mean you are right. Pain, injustice and sadness are part of our lives, and will always be, till the world changes (Memory Sequence 13).
AC:Brotherhood was meant to be an EXPANSION, NOT a different title. Do you remember games like Age of Empires, Empire Earth, etc? Yes, they had expansions! They cost around to as much as the base game, and they expanded the base game. That's what Brotherhood and Revelations are. How can you expect them to be completely different? Well, about Brotherhood. Brotherhood wanted to continue the teaching of the BROTHERHOOD, and to involve it to a new level... Being a leader of a creed, of a brotherhood, of a group which would aim to make a better world. Ezio was trying to end a war, and to avenge for his uncle's death. He tried to show to the people that they must be strong and united, for all together could stop the corrupted people who wanted to change the world into their evil likes. It included less love, but more maturity, leadership and faith, faith to the creed, not to the leader.
(That's all I remember clearly, if you play the game and look/think carefully, you'll see why it's great.)
AC:Revelations was the last expansion. It was meant to be the 3rd part of Ezio's life. We had a game while he was in his youth, and inexperienced teenager, we then got a game in which he got enough experience and knowledge to become a leader, and then we got a game in which he finally gets old and becomes wise. Don't forget what he tried to teach us when he was at the edge of his life...
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.
Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia."
Revelations gave the most meaning out of ALL the previous games. No, AC2 wasn't the best. A game is not always good because of its story, nor because of its gameplay. But because of its meaning. Revelations was FULL of meaningful messages, and they were even being included in the multiplayer in a canon way. Do you remember what was one of the Abstergo Video File rewards in Revelations? You know, that video that TRIED TO SHOW TO YOU that our world is not how it SHOULD be, but it is how it was ENGINEERED. Do you really think this was just a line about the game? You lied to yourself if you thought so. It was a clever line indicating of OUR world. How the 90% of the wealth belongs to the 1% of the population, of those few people who can control ANYTHING, even YOU. You all go crazy about a game like GTA V, but what did that game give you? Joy? Yeap! Happiness? Probably! Good times? I guess so! Amazing details? Surely! How about a meaning? Nope, I do not think so. It's like playing CoD... You get no meaning at all. It is just a story and that's all... I mean, how many of you stopped for a while and started thinking about the world? You always want those awesome games with a 50-pages story and great graphics, those awesome movies with full of gore and blood and violence, those awesome songs about love and love and love... But you never wanted to play, watch, listen to something educative in an enjoyable game. Yes, AC may have its flows, but it is STILL one of the greatest games of its kind of there, if not the best (assuming there are no other games that give a good and worthy meaning).
Anyways, let's continue...
AC3... Probably the most bashed title... What was AC3 talking about? About a NATIVE AMERICAN BOY (remember these 3 words) who wanted to save his tribe's lands by the white people who colonized America. A lot of you say that the revolutionary war was pointless or bad... But the game had NOTHING to do with it. Did you fight in this war? You just killed some British soldiers with a cannon, killed some leaders, and passed through a battlefield. That's all Connor did... ANYTHING he did was to save his tribe's lands, NOTHING else. Not for himself, not for the white's revolution, not from any foreigner, just for his tribe. Do you get this? And because you may ask... The American Revolution was to give freedom to the European Americans. Didn't it had a similar theme with the main story? The game wanted to show that there are two sides, the one side is the ones who made a revolution and won it, and the other side is the ones who made a revolution, but they lost it... Ironically, the ones who won their revolutions and freedom wanted to enslave the ones who lost and continued to find a path to freedom. That's one of the basic meanings. That even when something happens to you, it doesn't mean you will get a lesson by it. It's up to you to decide on your actions, exactly like Connor's decision to fight for the whites in order to save his tribe. And what did he end up to? In assisting the whited, killing his best friend and not save his tribe's land. Those are mistakes are facts of the humanity, and the game tried to SHOW to you what those faults can lead you to. And the multiplayer gave you WAY better files. Do you think they were some kind of stupid clips? You may think so... NO, they were the truth. Probably there is no Abstergo out there, but there is SURELY companies (really few) that share the same "personalities". Lastly, I want to say about Connor's story... Why do you believe that a Native boy who saw his mother die in pain under a flaming bulding, who knew his father left him and his mother, who thought his father wanted his tribe to go away, and who never enjoyed love, true peace and full relaxation, have a plentiful story with many emotions, feelings, actions, and a lot of change of paces? If you want unrealistic stories, get some other game, but don't blame AC3 because of it. His story was the best possible way to show you the meanings of the game. If you want joy while you are revoluting, then you will probably never succeed. After all, do you remember when Washington offered to play a ball game with Connor? What was Connor's response? That how is he possible for him to play a game when he is the leader of a revolution?
THINK... If you want AC to become a pointless game, then it will be unfair for us who enjoy games because of their MEANINGS. If I were to play a game because it had amazing graphics and gameplay, I would go to play CoD. And if I were to play a game with a great, but pointless or unrealistic story, then I would play games like GTA or Pokemon. Of course I am not saying those games are bad and should not be played, but I am saying that AC's devs are trying to ACTUALLY resemble the world by adding sci-fi details that heavily enforce the game (past, present and future being connected all together).
Lastly, I am not blaming anyone nor trying to insult anyone. It's almost 8 PM here and I am so much tired that I will fall asleep soon, so forgive any wrong phrases, wrong grammar and bad phasing. I tried my best to show you why all the games are great and how each game is not just a dull game, but something that it should be enjoyed in a different way. I heavily believe that if God exists, he wants YOU to think for YOURSELF, and not others for you. Love, Justice, Maturity, Joy, Happiness.. All of these are to be enjoyed, but not all of the beings/humans do so. Slaves exist, and terrible people too, and that's what the game shows, that the world is not exactly what we think of it. It had mysteries, a LOT of them. But not because of nature, but because of the humanity. I desire peace and love, but they will not be achieved if humans won't open their eyes and revolute without doing the mistakes of the past. That's all... Peace.

Who knows? It could be the best AC so far, or the worst. We'll see.

I think it will be nearly the same as AC III, sadly...

It seems like AC IV is going to be more like AC 3, with lots of heavy focus on those mini side missions (Underwater, coves, pirate islands, etc) rather than the static cities of AC 2.
Honestly all I care about is more Naval battles, which were easily the best part of AC 3, I could care less about the rest of the game.

So I found Assassin's Creed 3 really terrible. It was nothing like the earlier Assassin's Creed games.
With Balc Flag coming out, what do you think it will be like? The earlier games or like Assassin's Creed 3.
