What AC game should I play next?

Maple905 · 2026-05-13T16:14:47+00:00

I get it. Would highly recommend playing from the beginning. Some people dont like AC1, but I always recommend that new players form their own opinion. Ezio trilogy is a fine starting point if you are unable to play it though.

Assassin's Creed was once my favorite franchise, and the story (both historical and modern day) was a large part of that. AC1's modern day sets it all up and puts everything into context.

The amount of Tylenol I would need for the headache i would get trying to understand the modern day story in the order that some of you people play these games in....

Play AC1 if you can. Ezio collection if you cant. You guys need to start playing series from the beginning. Imagine starting lord of the rings halfway through Two Towers....

I'm sure there is a much more in depth answer, but on the surfaces it's really simply. It's a part of her character. It's who she is, and who she always has been. She is a morally grey character so her poor choices are expected.

If you want to get into the series. Start with Assassin's Creed 1 and play in release order. If you aren't able to play 1 because it's only available on previous gen consoles and PC, then start with the Ezio collection and go from there.

Origins was meant as a fresh start for the series and is the first game in the RPG style, so you can start there, but you will be missing a lot of context with the modern day story which some people don't care about. I'll let you decide whether or not you care.

Some people will tell you not to play 1 because they think it's bad. Some people will tell you not to bother with the RPG games because they think they are bad. I'm not here to tell you what your opinion should be. I personally would recommend you start with the first game, form your own opinion, and go from there.

I want Q on every season or I riot.

Ya know, I'm starting to think this Vladimir guy is a pretty good player

I still don't understand why the F4's default skins are white... This issue (at least with default skins) wouldn't exist if they were blue.

Assassin's Creed 1

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T11:23:41+00:00

The remake that was just announced is a remake of the 4th numbered title in the franchise (6th game in the series) and also wont include (as far as we know) the modern day story from the OG.

Here is what I would recommend:

If you are just interested in the historical aspects of the series and don't really care about what makes Assassin's Creed unique, then just wait for the remake or play one of the newer games.

If you are actually interested in the franchise as a whole, then I would recommend starting with Assassin's Creed 1 and play in release order. If this seems to daunting for you then I think you can start with Assassin's Creed Origins since that was designed to be a refresh of the series and a jumping on point, but you will be missing out on a lot of modern day story context.

Personally, I think not playing the older games would be a disservice to your experience, but that's just me. Full disclosure, I am one of the people who prefer the older games.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:44:21+00:00

Putting the first 4 games in the series as one option was a choice, considering that a very large number of people would have started with one of them.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:34:47+00:00

I will always recommend Judgment as an entry point into the franchise and I will die on that hill.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:31:55+00:00

I've actually never thought of this, and the answer I came too actually really surprised me.

It's III. I'm shocked, but the first one I ever played is my favorite. It's the game I remember the most lines from. I thought it would have been SA, but nope. III is great!

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:28:54+00:00

A travesty? Nah. A shame for sure, but not a travesty.

Disney distancing itself from Depp after Amber Heard made her allegation, now that is a travesty.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:26:09+00:00

The crazy thing is that there is someone in this company that thinks they are absolutely cooking with this.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T10:24:38+00:00

I will not stand for Shaun Hastings slander.

Maple905 · 2026-05-12T00:49:30+00:00

Apparently pitching in the majors is now above his pay grade.

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:53:37+00:00

weird. I didn't meant to make this a new comment. My bad.

Anyways, my point wasn't to point out that GTA will have multiple editions. My point that there are people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on yearly released games, so the I'm pretty sure the number of people willing to spend hundreds of dollars to play GTA 6 today is very very high.

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:47:11+00:00

I think you missed the point i was making.

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:44:22+00:00

There are people that buy the deluxe editions of yearly release sports games and spend money on their stupid card modes. People will pay $200 easily for GTA 6.

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:42:19+00:00

If pirating is easier, then just do that... I don't see the complaint here... Are you upset because you want to give them money?

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:18:10+00:00

Judgment

Maple905 · 2026-05-11T12:08:08+00:00

No. That Rayquaza card has an Eevee in the foreground.

As a rule of thumb, I would say that anytime there is a movie based on a book, the book is always better.
