I'm new to the Assassin's Creed series. I started with the fourth entry, Black Flag, which is basically a pirate simulator that someone at Ubisoft thought was a better idea than making another Assassin's Creed game, but the Ubisoft execs decided to call it Assassin's Creed anyway because they need to make a new one of those games every year or else they can't buy baguettes for their French children.
So, after loving Black Flag I recently decided I would give the only other entry that came out on Wii U a try—Assassin's Creed III. The experience so far has been somewhat different from Black Flag, so I thought I would briefly compare my first impressions with each game.
