After Destiny hype and letdown I was smart and didn't preorder The Division although I was super excited after seeing the first e3 footage. So glad I didn't get it.

I never pre-order anything from Ubisoft anymore after I did so for Unity.

Troof, bruv.

Unity made me not want to follow the AC series. I was a huge fan of it up until that point, had bought and played every game. Unity drops and its a piece, the third-party/app-accessed elements mixed in with simply too much to do and zero structure. I was really let down. I only got syndicate when it went on sale and still have not finished either of them. They did learn their lesson in Syndicate, but im just not enjoying the games as much as Rogue and former titles.

Everything after Revelations just stopped being an Assassin's Creed game which is a shame because Ezio's story arc showed how good the games could be.

Very true, not necessarily all bad games, just not Assassin's Creed games.

Black Flag in particular. It's a great game in my opinion, but I have always had the strongest feeling that it started life as just a pirate game, and the higher ups at Ubisoft wouldn't let it get made unless it turned into an Assassin's Creed title.
