I was in high school when the first game came out and the game captured a whole lot of attention. It was incredibly marketed that it sold despite the lukewarm reviews it was practically an event that rocked schoolyards. It's not hard to see why the scope spanning history and the future (a little bit highlander in my mind) and the flashy marketing that resembles everyone favorite animes was practically made for the youths (not to come off as too cynical as Mass effect was made to appeal those who dig sci-fi shows and was still awesome). 3 like the other games have alot of ads all of which feature Connor prominently.
I played the games up to brotherhood and liked them well enough but I'm finding that the games are getting really directionless with a lot of mini-games (tank sections and flying machines) hiding the fact that the core mechanics are mostly unchanged. I liked the past narratives but the future plot is rather muddled, in that I'm not sure if the writers know the rules of their own universe(without rules in fantasy drama/interest is muted).
on a side note I love Redlettermeida's reviews and they make small movies, their reviews really dig into the small thing.

I though AC2 was a great game and gladly paid $20-$40 for it. I thought Brotherhood made for a fitting third act to AC2 and felt like it was worth the Black Friday $30 purchase. With AC3 I'm still not sure if I'm gonna wait for a Black Friday deal or wait for the PC version or whatever.
The games definitely have a massive amount of effort put into them and I hugely appreciate the detail they put into depicting history, but while the budget is AAA, the execution is still not what I would call AAA.
