Assassins Creed Statue/Figures

[Mathika]

ACU Guillotine Edition arrived!

The statue is Big and has a great Detail

And the CE Itself for me IT is the best looking so far

[Viridius]

Still waiting for mine. ..

Nice. That's encouraging to hear!

I figured what better thread to chat with fellow AC fans than here.

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.

Wow Romeo, I admire your resolve with this. You should definitely post this exact post on the Ubisoft forum too! It's stories like this that hopefully get someone's attention over there.

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!

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...

Order from game and choose Hermes or yodel by time you get it week one bugs will be patched

Like your style Meg

Nice and slow

I only brought 1 special edition for ac unity, bY now I guess nobody is surprised

And I'll be trading both of the copies I brought in, just to get rogue,
I understand all the concerns you have and it does seem that the management has too much control over forcing games companies to hit release dates and deadlines then actually releasing a working game

[comaamen86]

I hope they put all there resources into far cry 4

Shooty shooty elephant stampede

Cant wait

Just did an unboxing on the ACU CE. Not bad really. Statue is very good, even the face is "okay" (not terrible). Sadly it was low light but I could still see it decently (been rainy here what seems like forever).
