User blog comment:Serpentaxy400/Is Ubisoft Milking the Franchise?/@comment-1153722-20130301004610

First off: Let me be clear that I do not like this game being announced this soo. I also acknowledge that Ubisoft is 'milking' the franchise, but I also understand that they want to make money - they are a big company, after all.

That said, here comes my opinion: Fans have already lost the right to complain about Ubisoft milking the series when this is the fifth consecutive annual release. Just no. No complaining. No. No. No. Enough.

Don't like it now? Don't buy it, but don't comment on everything saying that they are milking the series; or that "The series is officially dead" ('officially dead', why do people say this?) because of the annual release cycle; or that you are "done" with the series because they come out with a new game each year; or any other nonsense I keep seeing on the internet. And this is not directed at Serpentaxy400, but anyone in general.

However, "much less development time and very few new ideas"? "innovations to the plot and combat"? What? The games don't have any less development time because there are numerous studios working on different installments simultaneously, and the latest installment saw plenty of new ideas being added. The combat system was completely overhauled, and the story was probably the best yet out of the entire series.

Now it just seems like people are complaining just for the sake of complaining. I have no trouble with people voicing their opinions, but it must not come to absurdity.
