I can't help but agree with the Desmond theory! While playing as ezio I imagined a future AC in the modern world, running round as Desmond in a massive futuristic environment. That'll never happen now.
I admire that they've removed a single entity, and opened up the possibility to theoretically style your own character, yet we're still only limited to whatever lifeless character they give us.
Edward, to me, never earnt his assassin rights, and it feels as though the recent characters haven't had quite the same effort into their story as ezio did.
The Edward/blackbeard and Arno/else dioramas are awful quality, but the collectors edition items, although cheap, are of a reasonable quality.
If rather less cards, cds, music boxes books etc, and a bit more quality on the statues tbh.
The witcher 3 CE is a prime example of what I'd want from an AC CE.

I totaly agree!
The attakus one is indeed amazing. I got an artist's proof edition (12/20 made). Best statue of AC their is for me.
The statues is the collectors editions are indeed better then the seperate ones. Still, I stick to the premium ones because of space and quality. I like to give money, if I got quality in return. I don't have that feeling when I get an ac CE. It's like I spend a lot of money on 20 pieces of junk.
I'm a fan of the witcher. I played the second one and now I pre ordered the premium edition of the third instalment. This game got a 10 out of 10 on gamespot (I trust gamespot, they give good reviews).
If you look on how original, innovative and unique that game is, then I question AC even more.
I can agree on black flag, that it was more of a pirate game in terms of gameplay. On the other side, I still felt that I was playing an ac game. You were involved in the observatory, you got a lot of contact with other assassin's, you're enemies were templars. In the end you really understood the creed and became an assassin. But that's not the reason I love black flag. The reason why is because it was innovative, original etc... It felt like they were back on track. If the next game (unity) pulls you down again, then you lose your trust in the series. Do this a couple times... and the franchise colapses. That's what's happening now I think.
When did this began? Well, you could say at AC3. They started to make that game after ac brotherhood in 2011. That was the moment they kicked out (or left) Patrice Desilets, the inventor of AC. I think that was a crucial moment for the series in a negative way. It was very clear he was the mastermind behind the series. Since he left, the only thing that was important was money. When Patrice left, the passion left (not with everyone but mostly) and the money stepped in.
