Getting Xmas gifts early for my mom and family. That said AC1 looks to buggy for me. So can I start with ACII and skip over the Rev/brotherhood? Most likely pick these up later down the line unless I crack. Also looks like a fun game for my Vita and want to give my vita some love(FUCK ME I LOVE MY VITA..ehem sorry)
I think you can safely skip Assassin's Creed 1. It gets repetitive and it feels somewhat lifeless. I wouldn't skip Brotherhood/Revelations if I were you. Though they aren't numbered, they're both fully fledged titles that directly continue the plot.
If you jumped directly from Assassin's Creed 2 to Assassin's Creed 3, you'd be pretty lost.
