Played the first game in the series and it got really boring so I don't like the game. The setting of the first game is boring too. Jerusalem during the Crusades because most people there are really religious(I have nothing against this but it makes the people less entertaining) and the city is not very colorful. In your opinion, which AC game is the best?

I've only played through Brotherhood, so far that one is my favorite. Give AssCreed 2 a try, it is miles ahead of the first game. 1 feels like a tech demo in comparison.
I enjoyed Brotherhood the most, but I've since stopped playing them. The series to me has become like those sequels to certain movies in which the first one was only decent to begin with, and too many sequels later it's almost like a bad joke.

I always laugh a little bit when I see "AssCreed" written. :)

Does Brotherhood have those parts where you are really some guy from today remembering his ancestor's memories? I found those parts really annoying and they destroyed all immersion for me. One minute, I'm an assassin in Jerusalem during the crusades, punishing people for being evil, next minute, I'm some average asshole from today times who is a prisoner of insane people.

Yes, it is a trademark of the series, even though you are not a prisoner anymore.

Since I haven't played Assassin's Creed III yet, I think that Assassin's Creed II is the best of the series. Revelations had these really lame tower defense sections, while Brotherhood was kinda small when compared to II.

What about the most recent AC? The one with the native American main character. Is the guy from today times in it?

Desmond is in all the games so far

Warning Spoiler




This wont be a problem in future games as Desmond kind of dies in the third. This doesnt mean they wont have another person take his place, but Desmond is rat food.

So after the third AC, no more Desmond? I don't hate the guy, I just don't like things that destroy immersion. Imagine you are playing a game that takes place during the dark ages and has you play as Harald, a Viking warlord and all of a sudden, you wake up in a small room in an apartment you share with 2 other guys in some suburb in New Jersey, your name is Bob and you are a 35 year old who has a mediocre position at a supermarket. The game then makes you drive his shitty car to work so he can continue paying back his student loans and survive life. Then later the game takes you back to being a Viking warlord about to raid a unsuspecting village. Yeah, I don't think so. The mood has been killed. That is when I quit the game and do something else. That shit reminds me of WW2 movies with Germans in it who don't look very German. Then you see the King Tiger tanks rolling in and notice, they aren't King Tiger tanks but just American tanks from the 1950s and 1960s, painted gray with Iron Crosses on them. And then my brain is like WTF. Nazis went o the future, captured American tanks from the 1950s and 1960s and are now using them against the Americans during WW2?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M47_Patton <- not a fucking King Tiger tank!!!

Like I said Desmond is dead. unless assassin creed believes is sudden reincarnation he is gone for good. However the future segments seem to be here to stay. Desmond released something akin to a diety in the end of 3.

AND THIS DIETY HATES MANKIND

o...k

To answer your question, I loved the original. Good story, nice attention to detail and kept it very simple. However I will never take anything away from the sequels. They're all great games in their own right.
I played the first one briefly but got tired of it and returned it to the rental store when it was still in business. I bought and played through both Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 but not Brotherhood or Revelations.

Assassin's Creed 2 & 3 were both good games in my opinion and I tend to prefer AC3 because of the weapons and setting but it had some rough edges that I wish they had refined. I did enjoy the naval battles and how they tied the plot with the American Revolution.
