Poll Your favorite assassins creed game? (58 votes)
I can't decide whether AC2 was actually better than AC4 or if its just nostalgia because I'm really loving black flag!

I think AC 2 for sure, though I am liking AC IV so far (about 30% completion I think). But I don't think the plot is as compelling and I think AC 2 was a tighter experience. But still a lot to go!
AC 2 had my second favorite ending this gen and the glitch puzzles were very great.
My favourite is ACII (Venice is still the best city in all AC games) but Brotherhood is very close behind.
I also really enjoyed Black Flag on my Xbone. It's a lot better than I thought it would be.
AC2 was my favorite so far because it felt that it was the only one which they put some effort into improving the game and pushing the story forward. From Brotherhood onwards, it felt that the series mandade was to forsake quality for quantity and keep adding features rather than improving the game they already have so they can have more bullet points on the back of the box. I am not saying that all the new features are bad, in fact some of them were downright awesome, but the problem is when the awesome new improvements take a backseat to some utterly frustrating issues which were there since the beginning and have not been addressed even though the series is in it's 6th iteration.
Voted 2, I like them all, I'm a bit surprised how much everyone likes 4 over 3, 4 seems like the exact same game as 3 except remove the story, I'm only 5 hours in to 4 but it doesn't have much of a story so far. Maybe no story is better than bad story, but I never really understood the hate 3 got, It was definitely the best in the series gameplay wise when it came out.

I feel the same way about the story so far (also not too far in, further than you though). I would say the same about the main character as the story. So far Kenway is "I WAN TO BE RICH" and that's it. But more to go, hopefully it picks up.
The gameplay is a good step up though for sure. And the missions are more fun and forgiving.
The original because it's the only where you do stuff actual Assassin like stuff. Plus Altair was a great character.
Well I think Black Flag is the best playing Assassin's Creed Game. I still have to say AC2 is the best in the franchise. They took the technology from AC1 and made it interesting by varying up the gameplay. Loved Ezio's story in AC2. It was also when the future-present timeline stuff was potentially interesting.
