One thing that we really must be fair to Ubisoft about is that this is their first game on the new consoles. Of course, with this transition, they were likely going to struggle (especially in regards to the hardware). Another thing that must be considered is the fact that they are trying to change the series up, so it's a learning process. Over the next game or two, they will have a solid understanding of where the new-gen games' strong points are, so it can only get better.

Rogue has it much easier because it is a result of exactly what I was just talking about. Imagine AC3 is Unity, then ACIV is the improvement that turned out to be the best game in the franchise & AC Rogue is where they have taken this experience & made the best game possible using those mechanics (so it seems). I imagine the future installments will continue this pattern.

I expect that next years entry will be much more polished & similar to how AC2 was to AC1 & how ACIV was to AC3. And besides, unless you have the game there's no reason to judge it. We're not the average people, so I imagine we'll enjoy it far more & appreciate the changes to a greater extent.

P.S. I really like AC3, so I'm definitely going to enjoy Unity. :)
