Assassin's creed saga

You should play all,first,to understand Desmond story,and second,in revelation you will play again as Altair,so is kinda important not to miss the chronological event.

I bought 1+2 and instantly regretted it, the only thing you need to know from 2 is where Ezio came from

Some will argue the 1st is the best(me) and some will say it's terrible.

The 1st one also gives the most back story on Desmond really...

P.S. The AC series sucks. I've played them all. All missed potential.

ending ac3 spoil all game serie

Play AC1 and AC2. ACB/ACR/AC3 is worse than AC2. Still - AC3 Coop-Multiplayer mode is more than awesome(why people always can't make a synchro-kill w/o me)

No. You must play all the games in their order. Although AC3 is complete bullshit!

Having played up till Revelations, I'd say you should play the first one if you really want to be involved in the whole story (which is half of the point of the entire series anyway).

Play all
Totally worth it

It all depends on how much you want to understand the series. If you want to know every detail and understand every reference you have to play all the games including the first one. Knowing every detail helps with understanding the story better or noticing hidden things. The story in the series is multi-layered, some of its layers are not obvious and missed by many. It rewards those who dig deeper while leaving others satisfied still.
I must add that the first game becomes really interesting only closer to the very end, and it is then when you will surely not regret playing it. Also Assassin's Creed II starts exactly where Assassin's Creed I ends. I wouldn't miss it if I were you.

Play them all . My fave game series of all time .

It is skippable, but you need to "fill the gaps". Watch the end from Youtube or ask a friend.

As previously said, it can be skipped. But as a AC Veteran :) I would highly recommend playing through it BEFORE any of the other entries, because if you play, say AC2, then go back to AC1, there are a lot of features that weren't in AC1, so it will suck, and of course storywise that would be completely stupid to do.

To understand the story you need to play the first 3( AC1,AC:BROTHERHOOD,AC:REVELATIONS) AC3 has nothing to do with the others,just like a stand alone in the series.

you can skip AC1 if you want but there will be references on AC1 in the other games.

I recently decided to go thru the entire AC series. Started playing AC1 and enjoyed it for some time, but it got too repetetive. So I decided to simply watch the Endgame-video on youtube before jumping into the other games. AC2, Broterhood, Revelations and AC3 I played from start to finish in a few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, with every game having some part that is "my favourite of the series".

Didnt played the first or the third, but Brotherhood its the best imo.

Blasphemy! u cant miss any game of the AC series, the story is epic.

In terms of game mechanichs,the game is fucked up by being simplified from original 1st part till now.
The story is the main,and i stess,MAIN,reason why the AC serial is succesfull right now.
They are in it just for money now with those yearly releases.
