Played an hour or so of the first Assassin's Creed, suddenly I remember why I can't stand that game. Extremely long winded and pretentious dialogue, loose controls and my god, an hour in and the tutorials are still going, with a nice big helping of redundancy to make things extra infuriating. Not to mention, once the tutorials are finally done, the gameplay is the lovely mix of dull and repetitive.
Could someone please explain to me how this game was successful enough to spawn an entire franchise? What exactly is there to like about this game?
