If there is a huge dip in quality or far too many games on one system in a short period of time, then yes.

I will buy Assassin's Creed Revelations (or possibly wait for reviews), but the franchise is almost as good as dead to me. Assassins's Creed 2 was amazing, Brotherhood was a huge dip in quality, the story was poor and it was far too similar to Assassin's Creed 2. It didn't feel like a game, it felt like £30 DLC on a disc. Now I find out that another sequel is coming out just one year later? THAT is what I consider milking

...I'll give it ONE more chance. Sadly there are millions of people who will continue to buy sequels regardless, those are the people I don't respect.


Like I said, it's all subjective. I for one loved every AC, except the first, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one. I wouldn't consider myself to be mindless. It doesn't matter to me if games release every one year or four years. As as the games are good, then I'll be there.

This isn't directed at you, but I think a lot of people that scoff at annualized releases are forgetting that in past gens, games would release every year. That changed this year due to high dev costs.

I loved the second one to death, but didn't you think Brotherhood was a huge dip in quality? If another Assassin's Creed was released in 2012, wouldn't you feel a bit too burnt out to play it?

There is just only so much one franchise can take, especially when the quality starts to dip. And not many games had annual releases, but things were different then, the next installment in the franchise usually had something bigger and better to offer. I didn't really notice any annual releases, maybe a game was release twice in two consecutive years but there is usually a 2 or 3 year gap before the next game.



It wasn't as good as ACII, but I wouldn't say it was a huge dip in quality. I think it was because ACII was just so good, it was going to be very hard to top. Besides, Brotherhood introduced a wonderful online mode, so as an overall purchase, I would say it was on par with ACII. If a new installment is released in 2012, would I feel burnt out? Not really. A year is lke an eternity in my gaming world. I would likely be ready for the next adventure.?br />
Off the top of my head, I can remember the GTA, R&C, and N4S having yearly releases on the PS2. All were great games IMHO
