Poll: So... Assassin's Creed

[necromanzer52]

Constant releases? slowing things down? you make it sound like they're releasing one per week instead of per year. I don't know about you but I imagine the majority of peeps probably take a few weeks to get through an AC game. Perhaps a month or so if you don't find time to play most evenings. I mean, really? whats the harm of having another one to play after waiting 11 months without an AC game on the go? or would you rather wait for a few years without any AC games to play? That sounds like fun! I can pretty much guarantee that doing so would not result in a bug free game either. Not in this day and age, sadly. It would just result in having nothing new from your favourite game franchise for a very, very long time. Nothing more, not a higher quality title from a series that is already very high quality.

And citing the fact that you don't have a PS3 yet as a reason for the yearly schedule to change is not the most concrete of reasons Or did you mean PS4?

But the majority of people play more games than just the assassin's creed series. Right now, I have a pile of 8 games on my desk that I have yet to play through. Those are just the games I own. The actual list of games that have come out that I intend to play at some point is considerably larger, and I'm sure there are many others in the same boat. I haven't even played a single game from 2014 yet. And the list of games I want to play only grows larger all the time. So yes. yearly releases are too frequent for me to keep up with.

One more thing. "would you rather wait for a few years without any AC games to play?". You speak as if once you have beaten a game it disappears, never to be seen again. If you feel like playing some assassin's creed, you can replay one of the already existing games. Lord knows, there's plenty of them at this point.

So basically you're asking to deprive people who want a yearly AC of their game, because if you don't want it, nobody can have it. Investors and multiple development teams who make a living working on them be damned. Seems pretty selfish.

I'm afraid I do take issue with this part of your post. The rest of it, fine, but why include this? It seems... needlessly petty. You twist my statement into something I didn't say, engage in hyperbole, and then call me selfish for it? I am just interested in how you thought this would impact the discussion.
On a sidenote, I would suggest anyone who wants to contact Ubisoft about most anything to do so, they're a very nice bunch.

I voted yes, because I simply can't play them at the rate they're being released, and I don't want multiplayer to be a wilderness by the time I get there. And, for the record, I really really liked Brotherhood's multiplayer, so it's a pretty big deal for me, although I can see how it wouldn't be a lo of people's cup of tea.

I dont mind them being released once a year. After all the teams working on them get between 2 - 4 years to make them so they are not rushed in anyway. An if people dont like the game then they dont have to buy it or they can wait and buy it later if they are busy with other games.
