On the one hand, Assassin's Creed is by far the largest of those franchises.

On the other hand, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, as I would assume Assassin's Creed isn't anyone's favorite series. That's like someone saying their favorite food is "sandwich".

I try to forget Assassin's Creed exists, I actually forgot Animal Crossing exists, and From Software forgot that Armored Core exists.

So I read it as Ace Combat.

I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to Animal Crossing as AC, whereas I heard AC:Origins/Odyssey a ton over the last couple years.

Animal Crossing. My first AC and the best AC.

Of course, Assassin's Creed is more popular these days, but AC will always be Animal Crossing to me.

But what if we get a new Assassins Creed as well as the new Animal Crossing next year?

AC20.1 and AC20.2 perhaps? Much clearer than initials alone.

Animal Crossing is my favorite AC series but AC generally refers to Assassin's Creed

Despite also loving Animal Crossing, AC will always read to me as Assassin's Creed.
I don't care for the other games though.

it gets kind of annoying the way people use these acronyms, I feel like people use them way too early before a game is really well known enough for it to work.

AOC and GOW are so clear cut. We need a new acronym war.

what is AOC? Age of Creed? Assassins of Creed? Animals of Crossing?

In most contexts, Assassin's Creed. As a favorite series, I usually think again and land on Animal Crossing. Assassin's Creed just tends to be a lot more divisive.

Assassin's Creed, probably because I've never been anything but bored by an Animal Crossing game

Assassins Creed is one of my favorites too, though im not entirely onboard with its new direction since I feel it took away a lot of what made the old games good, instead of only fixing what was bad
