Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" (www.gamesradar.com)

Im curious of people's thoughts on this. I enjoy a good Assassin's Creed but each game is much like another, with some of them throwing in boat combat but they still feel pretty similar to me. To the point they are a bit of a comfort game for me as you know what to expect.

    Yeah I agree for the most part. I don't go into an Assassin's Creed game expecting groundbreaking changes. It's a formula. One that I think has degraded a little bit over the years, but still one I enjoy to a certain extent. Certainly I used to enjoy them much more when there was more history stuff involved. And when they gave more of a shit about the setting. It still scratches an itch though.

    That's basically all of Ubisoft's games and despite the loud minority online, the games still sell really well and better in each release. That consistency is what I like about them. Their recreation of historical cities are quite pretty and the gameplay is generally enjoyable. I do wish they kept up the consistency with the story though. Shadows' story was such a waste of a good location.
