Brotherhood isn't a main game

I noticed that in this article, it states Brotherhood as being a main game, but I don't think it is. My reason for thinking this is because Assassin's Creed is a trilogy - Assassin's Creed I, II and III - Brotherhood isn't a major installment. Furthermore, each game (or ancestor, if you will) has three parts to the storyline: Assassin's Creed I had Altair's Cronicles as a prequel to the story of Altair, Assassin's Creed, the main part of the story, and finally, Bloodlines, in which the player could explore Altair's story further. Altair's Chronicles and Bloodlines are meant to be games that you can get, and will continue the story for you, but that are not necessary to the storyline. The same, I feel, is true with Assassin's Creed II: Lineage is a prequel, then comes the main game, and finally, Brotherhood.

While I recognise some will say "Brotherhood follows the modern day story as well as the story inside the Animus, whereas the other games (and movie) only fill in the ancestor's story", I still feel that the way Assassin's Creed III will be presented is in such a way that you could miss out the events of Brotherhood even though some big stuff happens in it (not trying to give away spoiilers).

But still, this is just my opinion; but I do think Brotherhood is a game you could miss out and continue the story of the series. Still, just an idea. Thanks, Akira Otomo Talk | Contributions 13:51, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

No, you can't miss BH and continue as if nothign happened. It contains important lore about both Desmond's quest and the Assassin Guild history. And Ubisoft classifies it as a major instalment, so we will keep that ;D -- D. Cello 21:39, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Although this discussion is over, I'd like to note that Brotherhood is considered a main game because it basically continues AC2's story. it's not a spin-off story or anything, it moves both ezio and desmond's stories forward. Basically, we can consider the entire second part of Assassin's Creed's main story being encompassed by three games (AC2 BH, and Revelations).70.70.13.203 04:10, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Ezio Trilogy?

Wasn't there a collection of II Brotherhood and Revelation on PS3 that should be mentioned?Akay4 (talk) 01:47, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think so, as the Ezio trilogy are still three games, which are still mentioned all here. We're not showing what editions of the games came out, only what games had come out and will. -- Altaïr 01:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Purpose

What's the purpose of this page? We've got separate ones by now, no need for a blanket article. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 01:35, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
