Indeed, especially with all the franchises that are working in zombies these days.

Okay, I haven't played the games myself, but I have heard a lot of the shit storm over this and felt the need to point out the obvious.
The Knights Templar are involved in the plot of the games, right?
The "founding fathers" of the USA are said to have all been Free Masons.
Free Masons have connections to the Knights Templar
Just forget that this is America. There will be Knights Templar business going down.
Which hey, maybe this means a twist in that the Americans turn out to be the bad guys.
Now dang I need to go play all these games before this comes out.

As for playing all the games, I'd just skip the first one altogether, honestly. All the characters in it are much more developed after-the-fact in later games anyway.

IT'S NOT OCD FORCE OMG.
tbh, the first game could probably be played fairly quickly anyway. The only reason I'd say you'd want to play it is for the background on the Desmond stuff. Although that's revisited in ACII, iirc.
So basically... you could skip the first one. But will your life be complete if you do?

OMG what is wrong with you people?! You missed so much if you skip the first freaking game! Yeah it's redundant in game play, but you're missing really good stuff in the story line. :/ But I guess if it's just about the game play to you then, yeah, you should skip it...
but part of the good thing about Assassin's Creed is the story line and to me Altair > Ezio so yeah. You definitely DO NOT get a good tribute to Altair later on. They tried but... it wasn't enough.
Besides do you REALLY want to go through playing the other games going "who's altair whats going on who are these people why am I missing out on the cool references because I decided to skip the first game"
also the first game is the only time you will EVER see Malik so cherish those moments.
The end of the game is also really intense but hey if you want to miss out on that BE MY GUEST.
Skipping it is just LAZY. It's like, you go out to read a book series and go: "I'm going to skip the first book because SOME parts of it are boring"

Face it Tiff, Altair was WAY cooler posthumously in ACII then the emotionless, strangely American-accented version in the first game. Also you're not really lost on who Altair is because Ezio doesn't know who he is either so they explain it to him.
Also your book analogy is a little bit flawed because rather than some parts of it being boring, a game with bad gameplay (not that the gameplay in AC1 was BAD, but just for the analogy) is more akin to book with lousy writing then just a book with some boring bits.
And I wasn't telling her to skip it, I just said you could and you wouldn't be much worse off. And its not lazy when you've got tons of good games to play with finite time. Its prioritizing.

Altair purposefully had little to no personality in the first game. It was by design. (despite what altair fans like to claim ) He was fairly forgettable until of course they expaneded on his story and personality in later installments. And iirc ACII does re-explain some of what happened in ACI?
But I did suggest playing it anyway. It's a short play, and the story is entertaining enough. It's just that halfway through, you're just doing the necessary things to keep the story moving. It's like playing on automatic - you sort of tune out the bland gameplay. Overall, ACI was average at best.

I didn't feel that I missed out on all that much because I had Force to fill me in on any necessary background that I would have learned from AC1 while I played AC2. And I don't feel I was lazy because I chose to skip one game; like Force said, sometimes you gotta prioritize. Playing AC2 was more important to me than playing AC1. Priorities. Simple. I don't think I committed any video game sins there.
