I was really intrigued by Assasins Creed, having always been a Nintendo fanboy, never got the chance to play them until 3 came out on Wii U. I was pretty impressed, I also loved the setting, that whole Mohawk thing was cool Then I bought Black Flag, also great in many ways, but it was very, very repetitive, with little character on the map. I grew bored and haven't gone back. Unity was looking fantastic (I love Paris) and I was so looking forward to exploring revolutionary France. Then the reviews came in and it confirmed to me, assasins Creed needs new direction. They are all so samey. If each edition was pushing new boundaries it could become a very important gaming franchise. They should slow it down and release each new main chapter once every 3 to 4 years. Zelda is a good example of this. Time allows creativity, polish and potentially a new, incredible game. Yearly output to me is just headless chicken mentality. Not all gamers are so ADD that they will forget about Assasins Creed. Ubisoft should expand their horizons more. Give AC some meditative breathing space, and allow the idea to realise it's clearly popular potential.
