Okay, that's not great of them, but would you stop playing AC because of that?


Oh, and OP, I am certain that you will buy AC3, absolutely certain

Tbh, I disagree with him. Being angry at Ubi for this is like being angry at Apple for not selling their iPhones/iPods/iPads unlocked.

Why would I? Its a perfectly legitimate way of making DLC. A game cannot just simply add DLC without planning it before hand. The game will need a special code to allow DLC to work among other things.

This is not entirely true. Most of the profits companies make go into improving and expanding the company. In the case of game developers that generally means it goes into the budget of new games. The more successful a game series, the more money will be invested in its next installment.

It did happen once that game companies thought they could get away with publishing low quality games (often based on movies and the like) thanks to their reputation and apparent monopoly, but that resulted in the above mentioned crash. Trust me, most of the money Ubi makes on AC goes right back into the development of the next AC game.

I see what you're saying, but the company will only put more money into a game if they think it will increase profit. This will happen regardless of how much money they make. I do not believe that any company will put more money into a game to increase the quality if they don't expect any increase in profit. An example would be Activision (my personal opinion), who makes a whole lot of low quality games, but they still don't put more money back into future games. They continue to make low quality games and keep the profit.

Agreed. It's not like DLC is a thought that pops into someone's head after the game is released.

That is true. However, I see no reason for Ubisoft to expect fewer profits from upcoming AC titles and I think ACIII is evidence that they're looking at it in the same manner.

Yes, that's true. I was thinking about games in general, not just AC, but yeah I agree with you that AC3 has a lot more money and work being put into it. With the little bit we've seen, I'm sure it will live up to expectations.

@ yoinkster:
please don't bypass the censors. they're set in place for a reason, so don't use those words. also, curb your rage. i understand you're upset, but all your swearing and rage-filled comments do is provoke trolling.

Yoinksters got a point, I know I was pissed when ACR came out because it diffinitely didnt feel like a $60 game(which im glad I chose to rent) it felt like AC was turning into call of duty, which is why ubi decided to add multiplayer and to justify an online pass. But after doing my research on AC3 Ubi has redeemed themselves in my eyes.
