    I loved Assassin’s Creed 2, so I didn’t bat an eye buying Brotherhood and Revelations as they had the same basic background. They were full price games and I played for about 15 to 20 hours on each. That’s not much for full price. They were basically just new story lines for the main game.

        Sure, and I did. Multiple times. It’s just that the tower spin offs are too expensive. AC2 was about double the gaming for the same price.

      Personally, I sometimes like when a game feels like just a new storyline (and map) for the same game. Sometimes I just want more of a good thing and don’t want to have to learn new mechanics or risk the game making things worse.

      And since dev time is limited, I think in theory, this could mean more time could be spent on making the story missions perfect. But in practice, I don’t think that usually happens. Publishers would rather cheap out.
