This game is such an epic failure that it should be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. In fact, dictionaries need to be printed with a picture of Unity next to the definition of failure.
I'm pretty sure Bethesda games don't even have this many bugs.

I'd laugh if this was a sign of things to come for current gen development in general, people not being able to get stable products out from the jump and wasting time on patches. Console generations having worn out their welcome probably has something to do with why I find this kind of funny.
Man I'm glad I didn't buy this game yet. Hopefully they'll get all the bugs and mess fixed and release a complete edition with the dlcs later.
Prince of Persia Korea plz.
Patch 3 is going to have over 300 fixes in it when it gets rolled out

This is troublesome as with the number fixes in this patch that can lead to them breaking something else, plus they are still far from done.
I wasn't aware that the game was in that bad of shape... Ubisoft should have not released it yet, that is way too many bugs/glitches. So many that they had to of been aware of them.
I feel pretty smart that I jumped ship on AC after Revelations.

Some of that is inexcusable, like just a bunch of "getting stuck in the landscape" glitches.

To be fair Black Flag was a good game, even if it wasn't much like the other AC games most of the time.
3 would have been a lot better if they just let you continue playing as Haytham who was actually a fun character.
If AC: Unity was a car, it would have been recalled.
But its not a car, its software. So no recall.

Fun fact: Ubisoft's stock dropped 20 percent when Watch Dogs was delayed.
D*mned if you do, d*mned if you don't, huh?

Isn't that misleading though? You would expect there stocks to drop just as you would expect them to rise again closer to the new release date.
I'n not sure what's misleading. Stock dropped because a delay was announced.

I thought about posting Rouge but realized how terrible she is.
Really, Sanic just invites the furries.

Yes. She is terrible.
I have no input. Used to love AC. But I can't find myself to care about it.
Though 4 was ok.

So by the looks of it all future DLC for the game has been cancelled so the only DLC will be the one that is being given for free to people who purchased the game. For those who pre-ordered the Season Pass before it was cancelled they can choose from an existing Ubisoft title from a selection of:
Looks like they want to put this game behind them as soon as possible.
Note: The Crew has a review embargo on it as well so if you are picking choose cautiously.
Don't they do QA testing for games any more?

More games just need to have (free) Beta releases. Stocks typically don't plummet if a release date is rolled back after a Beta with lots of bugs as long as the Dev documents what changes are going to be fixed and proper timelines, and it avoids the egg on the face of a train wreck full release.
After all, a game gets more gameplay testing hours by users in one night of a widespread release than it would in twelve months of a QA team.
Any examples?
I do recall a recent statement by ubisoft to that effect, of getting customers involved in the beta, but we'll see if it pans out.

FALSE FALSE FALSE
Not you, wolfsite, but this is blatantly wrong. The second link, (http://assassinscree...cm:148-76770-32), specifically says that more DLC is coming. They are discontinuing SALES of the Season's Pass, which is understandable given they're releasing $60 games with it.
I repeat: people who already own the Season's Pass will not be gypped.
Say what you will about console/platform exclusive politics, it did seem to result in games with a more focused QA effort, at the least.
Is QA testing on consoles easier then PC because most of the hardware on each system is the same across the board?

I'm not a QA tester, but almost certainly yes. And being build for a specific, closed platform means that the developers are developing FOR that platform.
Unity wasn't really developed for X1 or PS4. We like to say that, but it's not true--it's clear by the massive scope that outstrips Console hardware on the outset of the new generation (5000 NPCs!). Unity was developed in a vacuum, THEN they tried to port it down to console hardware. I think that was part of the problem too (again, bad optimization, or simply too demanding).
My answer may come off as childish or sarcastic, but I don't mean it that way:
I guess they shouldn't have given a release date until they knew it was something they could commit to.
I find it odd that Unity has as many problems as it does though. If I recall correctly, it has been in development since Brotherhood was finished in 2010. Not to come across as arrogant or ignorant, but that should have given them enough of a window to go after the bugs or to know that something was up and to not announce the game and a release date for it in 2014.
My guess on how this all went down is that the developers or the publishers thought that they could go ahead and release the game and have the bugs patched in later that way they were getting a return on the investment (product).
Patches are great and all, but what about the customers that don't have internet or are without internet for a while? It's not fair to them that they get a lesser experience than everyone else who has internet, they'd have paid the same for the game as everyone else in theory and therefore they deserve as stable a product as those of us who would eventually get the patch. This is why I believe that developers and publishers should do their best not to use patches/updates as a crutch and should iron out bugs the best they can before launch.
I realize that it is unrealistic to expect them to squash them all, but those bugs are so large in number that it had to have been noticed internally and the game should have been delayed (delayed internally, not even announced to the public yet) because it is an inferior product to what it should be.
