Honestly, I personally feel as if the series has completely jumped the shark, moving away from what originally made it great. I'm a history buff. Assassin's Creed is, by definition to me, running around with pre-renaissance technology doing assassinations. I have next to 0 interested in the whole modern Desmond story lines (thank god that ended without going into spoilers). AC has been drifting farther and farther from that since AC2. I want them to go backwards. From your list, the French Revolution is the most appealing to me despite the fact it's more modern than I'd like. It's the most modern century I'd tolerate. I only chose it before the earlier options because their settings / locations don't interest me. Europe (or perhaps Roman Middle East / Africa) is where it's at. Then again since AC3 was so absolutely terrible I told myself I was done with the franchise, so who knows. Good thread though, good to see you again.
