Sequel Fatigue.

I'd rather start fresh with Watch Dogs

I honestly felt like Brotherhood and Revelations were improvements over the second game. Sure, they're shorter, and have their niggles, but they're a lot of fun imo.
Been getting through the 3rd game, The story for it isn't quite as good as what they had with AC 2 to Revelations

Well they did reach an end with AC3 from what i hear with all the Desmond stuff and end of the world plot.

By the time I was gonna get to Brotherhood, AC3 was to be released, so I just gave up. Waited for AC3 (the launch trailer was sweet) but then it came out and it was received poorly (as in the worst AssCreed yet by many). By that time WD was more concrete.
I had zero interest in Black Flag on the premise that it stars a fellow named Kenway, thus having a connection to AC3 beyond Desmond, so I just chose to ignore it.

I read about the Desmond stuff in Black Flag, sounds good.
I think I'll wait a bit before picking up AC4. It sounds like they fixed many of the issues I had with the previous games (such as Desmond)
... then again I said the same thing about Brotherhood 😐

I'd be inclined to agree if it weren't for AC1 still being the worst in the series. If there was a franchise that warranted criticism by way of sequel fatigue, it's Ratchet and Clank, but barring that, many of AC4's flaws are mostly based on backsteps from AC2/Brotherhood/3.

Well, AC4 is the best game in the series but I really think they need to let up on the series. Even though AC4 was a lot of fun I cannot see myself being interested if they do the same thing for next AC.
Same thing as in, more pirates? Or the frequency of their release?
Pirates, Caribbean, sailing around in ships and whatnot.
I liked AC3 because it was something different than previous games. Roaming around in the forest and climbing trees was something interesting instead of just running around in big cities.
I really liked AC4 because it was a lot different previous games. It also reminded me of playing Sid Meirs Pirates years ago in the early 90's.
But if the next AC is the same as AC4, I won't be interested. What else can they do with that setting?
I would love to see AC go to the west. Samurais, martial arts sounds fun. Or maybe go even more modern....
Originally posted by Stealth MooseI know, right? 😄. If only they had competitive online gameplay and a bigger fan-base. Also... Let's face it, SR IV is lacking in the graphics department, being comparable to games like Black Ops 2 e.e Not that bad, but graphics are a huge thing nowadays.
While I haven't played the majority of your list, SR IV is my favorite game of this year and perhaps one of the most fun games I have ever played.

Oh; okay, that's fair enough I think. From what I've read they won't go modern enough to the point where semi-automatics were widely available (one of the devs, iirc, said it would screw up the kind of game they want people to play), but yeah, I'd be happy with a different setting.
I would, ideally, want to play as a ninja in China or Japan during those times.

SR IV does have some competitive gameplay, though not to the level of SR II (which is also on Steam).
Also, graphics-wise it's more than adequate.
Besides, where else can you see crap like this?

I heard that too.
I think everybody wants to play an AC game in Asia. I read somewhere that it wouldn't work for an AC game.....which I think is crazy.

I really don't see why, to be honest. The game might be somewhat more stealth-based than the others (and thankfully, the games did feel like stealth got more accomplished with each new one), but I can't imagine why it would be an issue.
Not to mention how you could go pretty far back in to ancient Asia, or come forward right up until the 19th century (Last Samurai comes to mind). The architecture in a lot of those times would easily support a free-running model of game, I think, and the weapons could be quite varied and interesting. They could even have a more martial arts inspired combat system to freshen things up like you said.
One of my favourite things about Assassin's Creed as a series is that because it's all "memories" then you can pick almost any time period and go nuts with it.
Well, they'd probably have to completely rework stealth, as that's been probably the weakest aspect in the entire series thus far. They seem to just have real problems making good stealth sections. Seems to be based on their reliance on automatic contextual stealth mechanics rather than letting the player use normal stealth mechanics (ducking) as he sees fit.
