I dont get why people complain about yearly releases? theres always the option of not buying the game. In any case, if ubisoft or activision made a new franchise would you buy it? after all it will probably become immensely popular, in which case the hate will start all over again, then there will be cries for yet another new franchise. And so on and so on. Pointless cycle.
Assassins creed has not gotten boring. Somehow they manage to improve and change the gameplay enough for each installment to feel different from the previous. AC2 was a massive improvement over AC1, and AC:B refined the gameplay and added a lot of new features. AC:R is the only one that looks samey to me. Also its not entirely fair to compare a numbered AC title to a non numbered title. The only way i think you could gauge whether ot nor AC is on a downward trend is when AC:3 releases.
I think its amazing how the developers are able to produce quality titles every year.
