First, on topic: the new McFarlane Series 3 figures have been out in my neck of the woods. Only 3/5 so far, Arno, Altair, Ezio. I didn't pick up any yet, which leads me to this:

Have some of you lost the 'spark' for AC now after the Unity fiasco? I am an AC diehard. All of my close friend know this. Day one every year it's like a ritual for me, buy the game at midnight, along with the guide, any art book, any LE console bundle, one of a kind art works, statues, shoes (yes, shoes), if it's AC, I own it.

This is the first year since the series started that I did not buy any AC game on launch. When chatting with friends the past couple days, they were floored, I've been asked "what's wrong with you?!" as they know I celebrate 'Assassin's Creed' day with parties, cake, etc. (see: http://i.imgur.com/SyCyz.jpg)

The main reason... every damn year I've been burned by ubi. I buy the games day one, there are boatloads of bugs (AC3 gun swap and notification errors, AC:BF unable to 100% side missions) that are patched, months later. So people get the game on sale for half price AND get a functioning/working game. Plus I just didn't trust ubi with the embargo on reviews, and the 900p resolution on PS4 comments a little while back. That really left a sour taste in my mouth. And because of all of this, I have not purchased a single piece of merch for AC Unity or Rogue. No figures, no Titan LE book, no games, nothing.

I am not going to be suckered again.

I do understand all of your comments, and since the same thing pretty much happened to watch dogs i can also understand why people in general were meh about this release, or should i say some had no hope for a great release. At the same time, these things still don't bother me as much as they maybe should as there will always be glitches, and with the market the way it is it seems a lot of games are being released like this.

Then again, this could be because i take my time with the games, regardless of how much i am enjoying them, so by the time i reach a part of the game with problems a patch is usually out of it already. I can say Unity is the reason i switched to pc gaming, as the issues with current gen consoles (and no backwards compatibility) as well as possible resolution issues were not what i wanted. I've also found that i am not bothered by rogue in the slightest, i've watched all the cutscenes on youtube and found the game in general to be a disappointment. I am now rambling...
