So another year and another Assassin Creed installment, i feel like the AC franchise is the only franchise that i don't mind it being released annually as each installment has maintain it's quality and introduce new exciting gameplay to the formula..compared to WWE and CoD which is the old game with new paint on it. No offends.

Since Assassin Creed 2 came out in 2009, Ubisoft has coughed out a new AC every year for us to play so in my opinion it still maintain quality throughout regardless although may argued that AC3 is the first game to show noticeable sloppiness with bugs, glitches and technical issues, it didn't stop me from enjoying the game massively which took me 50 hours plus to finish the game so truth be told i really don't mind a new game every year since it's fun with a massive open world to explore and brings us to locale that no other games could..

Assassin Creed was the game that started the franchise, exciting storyline and locale and the whole Animus twist in the beginning couldn't save the game due to repetitive gameplay that gets boring quickly

Assassin Creed 2 was the game that Assassin Creed 1 should have been but didn't and now it's given a second chance to shine and its hailed by many as the best in the series, fixing the repetitive gameplay from the first game.

Assassin Creed Brotherhood in my opinion is the best in the series because it's the installment that introduce alot of new element that would eventually appear in every game onward like Borgia Tower, Chain Attack, Assassin Recruits & Multiplayer. Not to mention it has the best Assassin Tomb missions, War Machine missions and the best ending in the series. Period.

Assassin Creed Revelation was a little disappointing for me mainly due to it's hum-drum campaign and stupidly designed Desmond mission. Too bad Ezio's last adventure didn't end with a bang.

Assassin Creed 3 was very close of being in my top 2 spot if it wasn't because of its glitches, bugs and technical hiccups but i enjoy the homestead missions, naval battle of course & the frontier. Connor's ending was kinda nice but Desmond ending was the second Mass Effect 3 ending stunt Ubisoft pulled in 2012..

so now we have Assassin Creed 4 Black Flag.. and again it shows new element of gameplay, new hero to play with, new world to explore and the first true open naval world game, I'M EXCITED AS HELL to be honest because it managed to fuse in interesting gameplay into the game and i can't wait for October 29 to come any sooner..but i've heard that some of my friends are growing tired of the franchise real quickly because AC4 came too soon and there's no space to breathe, not to mention the story is continuous so if you wanna know it's story you'll have to play them all..

So what do you guys think, are you pumped for AC4, should Ubisoft continue it's annual release or should the game take a break every now and then?

im pump up for it actually

hell yeah!

I have played all AC series but I'm not pumped for AC4...lol. For me, I think it should take a break from now and then. I know it introduces some new features or gameplay elements with each release but if it's going to be another release so many times in short period, it will lose its appeal.

What I do enjoy from the series;

AC1: The freedom to execute the assassination and the hectic getaway after, brawl fight with civilians, not overlypowerful main character who can take on a mob of soldiers, have to rely on blending to escape.
AC2: Ability to swim...lol, more towers/buildings to climb, Assassin tombs are fun to explore, the background music as you race to climb the tower with your brother in the intro, a safehouse to showcase your purchase, double assassination.
AC2B: Assassin recruits help kill the loneliness.
AC3: Naval battle, climbing tree and doing predator kill, animals!

Things I enjoy least but not necessary dislike;

AC1: long horse journey, repetitive side missions before assassination, too many darn collectable flags!
AC2: those damn difficult 100% synchronization on that flying glider and tank mission, left it for hours just to collect bank income to upgrade my estate.
AC3: Connor felt like a delivery boy from the sidequests, exploring empty underground tunnels is not fun, more charismatic main character and less powerful, I feel like the hulk whenever I take over a stronghold by killing everyone inside, where is the stealth in that?.
