13 Classic Video Games With Ridiculously Stupid Stories

7. Assassin€™s Creed Franchise

Assassins Creed I€™ll be honest €“ I never really got the hype surrounding the Assassin€™s Creed games. To me they all came across as tarted-up tech demos, showcasing some (admittedly impressive) parkour physics, while never putting them to much use. There€™s no accounting for taste, but what can€™t be denied is the consistently repellent narrative that ties these titles together. Honestly, I couldn€™t pick the worst Assassin€™s Creed story, every game is so littered with plot-holes, contrivances and needlessly convoluted technobabble that I€™m just going to take the franchise as a whole and run through some of its dumber moments. Aside from the lumpen Sci-Fi €˜twist€™ (that was ruined in promotional material for the first game) we have a super-powered Pope, time-bending alien deities, a Native American assassin who manages to stroll past every major historical figure from the war of Independence and now€pirates? Just take your pick, it€™s all pretty stupid.
