I'm with you on the launch price thing -- I always try and get the best deals on things, but I've had to throw that to the wind in order to procure the UK editions that I desire for AC and have to get them usually at launch, because they sell out after - its not so with the US Limited Editions, as those usually sit on shelves even after the NEXT AC comes out a year later and can be picked up for pennies on the dollar.

I'm not in the same boat as you regarding the bugs and such because I usually don't get to play them until at least the GOTY edition is already out or something, and by then its usually fixed, but I DO understand your frustration with the developer of your favorite franchise seeming to only be after the quick dollar and not the hearts (and wallets) of their die-hard fans - Nintendo has been doing this a lot lately too, especially with this amiibo fiasco and US CEs. I feel your pain bud, but darn if those cupcakes don't look great!

It's extremely unfortunate circumstance, one that ubi created. Every year the same thing happens ad nauseam. Game comes out, I pay full price for the CE and LE guide, plus any extras, season pass, etc. Numerous glitches right out of the game, such as the notification and gun swap error from AC3. It took them TWO MONTHS to fix it, long past when I 100% the game, so it was pointless. Those too bugs were maddening, switching your weapons every zone, and every time you fast traveled the same five notifications popped up. Then AC:BF. Same scenario. Worst glitch was one where it didn't track stats properly so you could not complete 100% of the abstergo missions. I 100% the game as a whole though to date I have not unlocked every cheat, because the game isn't counting my stats, even post patch.

When AC3 came out I had a spreadsheet of everything I was buying. The LE game, LE guide, LE art book, Vita console bundle with liberation, all of the graphic novels, two art pieces from the Rock the Vote auction, and even the Adidas AC sneakers. I dropped $1,100 on AC merch because I just had to have it all. (art: http://www.fastcocreate.com/1681782/...-rock-the-vote)

Now this year. "we can't put women in our game". What? You've done it for years. "We don't want a console war". What? No other developer has an issue with 1080p on PS4 and having a lower resolution on the xbone. Then the glitches... have you seen them?! They're 10x than any prior, they're game breaking! $100 USD macrotransactions, DLC from soda, shaving cream, email lists, action figures, season pass... and all for what, a game that doesn't even work after a two week delay?! Oh way... no one knew that because of the embargo ubi enforced. That right there was an obvious sign not to pick up my preorder. And now I'm off to enjoy Destiny...

P.S. Some of my AC collection including one of a kind art, shoes, and more AC food! http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ead.php?t=9610
