Sheer amount of hostile penetration Uplay pulls off stands head taller among all other DRM. They could base new franchise around that. In it, they already have groundwork for some deeply disturbing rapesim.
Obsessing about franchise can cost both game and franchise. Inevitably what once was cool and interesting begins suffering from Mario Poker - phenomena. Assa Creed lost much of it's soul and flavor when sailing to the New World. They should have steered towards French revolution instead. New World could have used a new franchise. Spinoff, perhaps.
Decision to do otherwise doens't much bother me with Assa Creed III, but Black Flag sounds much like a different matter. On purely conceptual level, combining exiting, fun, rare things such as sailing and piracy business to whole weightload of Assa Creed Franchise is incredibly idiotic.
What I mean by that is made hurtfully obvious in Black Flag trailer; Real Pirate© sits in tavern and speaks in highly respectful tone of some ridiculous silly super cool bathrobed hoody Jedi ****lord.
Effect brings to mind (an admittedly not existing) trailer to
Hell's Angels - The Movie. In it, a dirty, bearded, big, rough looking fat biker guy sits on his Harley. He tells the camera:
" Yeaaaah our leader is super awesome. Amount of owning and killing he pulled.....whoa. " Cue to Orlando Bloom being a Legolas, surfing on shiled and shooting orcs with his bow. Different worlds, different franchises. Different rulesets. Different people. Goddamnit.
