What I felt in those first years of playing Assassin's

April 4, 2017 by Catherine Pope

What I felt in those first years of playing Assassin's Creed games was nothing remotely new. As a gamer myself, I'm still learning new things. I've watched the story of Edward Ivar, the first ever Assassin, expand with the story of Desmond Miles, and I've been watching Assassin's Creed II lead up to its release. I've seen some of the game's most controversial moments, such as the one where the Assassin is forced to sacrifice his life to help a mad scientist who has discovered that he is immortal, but that's not the point. It's almost the same, and with every iteration in the series I've watched, I've seen more and more of the world, and even more of the world itself, as you play the game.

The way in which these games have shaped my view of Assassin's Creed is, of course, very much a part of it. I find it interesting that Assassin's Creed is one of the most popular video games in existence today. It's a highly popular game, with over 4.8 million unique play times and over 25 million people buying it on YouTube every month. That's over 1 billion people, which is a lot of people, and a lot of people play a lot of games. It is a massive cultural phenomenon, and it's really exciting to see how many people play and play it all the time.

To get a sense of how many people play and play, I looked at the number of times someone played an Assassin's Creed game from the top-down—the first time anyone played an Assassin's Creed game. I used that to track people's skill level and how many hours they spent playing each game. It doesn't have to be that way, though. This graph shows that, over the past decade, people play and play a lot of Assassin's Creed games for a variety of reasons.

One of the most important is their longevity. Even in the early years of the series, people had relatively short lives. One of the most notable examples is the way that Desmond Miles—at least until his death in the early years of the game—was considered to have played the game on an incredibly short lifespan. The game is still in development, and it's still in development for several years, but it's been doing this for at least five years now, and it's pretty good. That's still a long time.

What's the problem with this? Because the series has been so long in development, its progression has been so slow,
