I was a big fan of AC until Assassin's Creed 3 came out. That literally killed all my motivation to even play it.
Ah well, at least I got space for Skyrim that way.
Revelations was... well, bad. AC3 was disappointing.
But Black Flag looks freaking awesome.
ACR disappointed me but held itself floating on the water thanks to the Altair sequences and the nice atmosphere. And the part where he chases that one fella awaz that tries to molest Sofia (that one who was with his sister at the beginning of AC2, forgot his name though).
AC already was laid in a coffin thanks to Ubisoft's endless greed to make money with it and then simply not caring anymore (the Facebook game was pretty nicely done, and shortly afterwards abandoned), AC3 only hit the nails in it. Loved Haytham but one character alone cannot rescue an entire game.
I don't know why I didn't like AC3. It just didn't feel as utterly awesome as I had hoped. But AC4 looks like it's going to be Pirates Online 2.0, and I'm happy about that.

Well, admittedly, the thing I wondered in the first weeks the game was out; what core gameplay was intended in AC3?
Because it wasn't stabbing people like an assassin is ought to do.
I liked how Connor genuinely felt something like pity for his targets (well, at least afterwards...) but it just doesn't deepen because afterwards he stabs another 20 soldiers and what not.
Honestly, Connor was 70% of why AC3 wasn't perfect. I'm a huge Revolution/Napoleonic Wars time period nut, but Connor just killed it for me.
I hope it isn't as half-baked as AC3 felt. There is only so many people you can stabmurder before it gets boring. I'm worried about it's release though. It hasn't been all that long since AC3 came out. Yearly installments are always a bad sign.

Actually this one feel quite half baked to me... at least the story.
Its pretty obvious that they first build a world, and then just baked up a story to fit into the world.
Good games are made the other way around.
