For me it's still he same answer from the last thread.
They lost me when they killed Desmond, and also because not too long ago I went back and played the PoP games again, and I realized how those games are basically Assassin's Creed, but fun and really well made.
The thing of this series being so hell bent on always remedying their problems, but never fixing it, of always adding more, but never improving the good things (probably because that won't let them put more bullet points on the back of the box), and that they just don't accept changes (despite them trying it and making what's considered by many the best game in the series, let's dump it), all of that just puts me off from the series so much.
AC Syndicate to me is quite the proof of that. The "parkour" is terrible and not very responsive? Put a grappling hook, don't make the controls good, don't give the players manual control for platforming, just let them skip it entirely. The combat is shit? Put prettier animations. Stealth sucks? Make your character go invisible if you stand still, but whatever happens, we can't hire a level designer...
I've reached the point where the setting won't sell me on the game anymore. If I want to play something on feudal Japan I'll just go play Tenchu or Way of the Samurai or something, because AC in that setting is probably going to be trash anyway.
