Four rivals two as best in the series. Unity was ok, so was Rogue. But four, yes. Black Flag is great. I'd second that, Black Flag is a great game. Edward Kenway is right up there was Ezio for the best assassins. He's got a lot of the same swagger that Ezio had, and him and the story, didn't follow the typical path of the previous games, when it comes to the character's path to the brotherhood. He doesn't have the initial noble intentions like previous characters had. The naval combat is a lot of fun two, a lot more entertaining than in 3. 3rd that. Black Flag is bae and got me into the series, no assassins creed game I've played this far has topped it.

For me, excluding Syndicate, the series goes: 2 Black Flag Revelations Unity 3 Brotherhood Rogue 1 Just personally though.

Finished Syndicate, general thoughts. Very good game. Top five in the series. I played as Evie the whole time. I dug the Gang Wars.
The story was really good even if they focused too heavy on Jacob.
The nine assassinations were all very clever with clever ways of killing 8/9 (9th being general death boss battle). I'm SO EXCITED we're finally getting Juno back into the series, and it HAS to be next game because of the WWI sequence and the end credit video. I'm curious who they're reviving as the Precurser. That should be interesting.
If you read too much into dialogue and read the notes, I get the feeling the next game is going to be set in India. Too heavy on the Maharajah and Evie/Henry clearly becoming a couple, imagining 20 years in the future, liberating the Crown Jewel with the child of Evie Frye and Henry West, with a modern day Juno fight at some point. Can't wait.

And that's saying something because AC, while known for great games, don't always put out great DLC. I thought the DLC for AC III was a good idea. Now I'm just going on the premise of it, since I didn't play it, but I like them going with a kind of what if type history, where what if George Washington named himself king after the war. Definitely looking forward to playing the Ripper DLC, have it downloaded, just haven't played it yet, I keep hoping around different games. Love the trailer, where it's the cat and mouse with him and Evie, with Jack almost trying to break her, and become bad herself. I'm interested to see who they have end up being the Ripper.

Really disappointed Arno isn't getting another game where he hunts down Shay. He deserved it, and it made sense. Now there's too many loose ends. Would have been so easy to put him into early 19th Century London too! I think Shay might have died before Arno was an assassin.

Rogue ended where Syndicate began but Shay was already pretty old by the time Arno was an assassin. Plus did they even acknowledge to Arno that Shay was his fathers killer? Can't remember it's been a while.

Got this second hand and started the other day. Okay so far I suppose, I enjoy the setting but the combat system doesn't feel as good as previous games and the characters aren't anything special. That being said I'm only a few hours in so hopefully things change after some upgrades and some story progression, Black Flag is still the standard for AC games IMO.

It doesn't get better than II or Black Flag, but I found myself liking Evie more than any other Assassin, played most of the game through her eyes, though the important missions you have to use Jacob (not really a spoiler, they pretty much tell you that Jacob handles the dirty work in the prologue of sorts). She's a great character and has great interactions with the people who become important throughout the story (won't spoil the important side characters but they're historically important and they seem to have been written to play nicer with Evie than Jacob).

Was there anything to cancel? I know they've gotten into the yearly release, but I think a month or so ago, they made the statement they were just not going to release the next one in 2016, instead choosing 2017 to really work on the next game.

Maybe that's what the deal was. What I read made it out like they scrapped the new game. Everything I've read since then says different.

Yeah, the way I heard it, they just decided to not to continue doing the yearly release. Probably a mix of realizing they were burning out fans with a yearly release, and wanting to really put time into the next game. It's supposed to be in ancient Egypt right?

I hadn't played this game since late Feb-early March since I finished the main story, but I started playing again this weekend and just got the last trophy to Platinum it last night.

Is there a new game this year? Also yesterday at WalMart I picked up an AC Rogue/Black Flag PS3 bundle pack for $7.50 I gave Black Flag to my Brother-in-law to give to his girlfriend's kids as I already have it.
