well there is a reason that i buy the AC games only when they are on sale ^^. Skipped Unity entirely and guess same goes for the new one. My favorite one was AC Brotherhood.

They have basically all of their studios around the globe contributing bits and pieces to games. It's why game mechanics are so disjointed. It isn't one or two offices collaborating, it is multiple studios making parts to churn out games.

Any link to an article about that? I could understand one studio providing art to another, it's kind of like using a contractor for art or music, which a lot of games do (many cinematics are done by contractors), I can see an engine team creating an engine that other teams will use, but when it comes to level design and game mechanics it sounds rather strange.

You mean Strategic Simulations Inc?
I only know them for their glorious Warlord Battlecry, but I thought SSI is no more as they become part of Ubisoft 14 years ago. See what Ubisoft becomes, I do not believe it is better than CD Projekt Red now.
Bungie seems to be awesome no more......
It seems almost all the good studio either was bought out or died......

That said there is multiple articles and reports about Ubi's frequent use of multiple studios in development. Found this: http://www.gamesradar.com/ubisoft-takes-co-op-next-level-10-studio-game-development/ but have no previously experience with the site so I can't attest to reliability.

For SSI, I recommend you take a look, for example, at "FORGOTTEN REALMS: THE ARCHIVES - COLLECTION TWO" here on GOG.
As for Ubisoft, I myself prefer the Prince of Persia games to the Witcher games (haven't tried the third (too expensive), but wasn't too fond of the first two).

You choose SSI over all them?

I am more of a "favourite game" person than a "favourite developer/publisher" person. For example, I believe Blackguards is one of the best games of recent years (for me), but that doesn't make Daedalic my favourite publisher.

So most of the time when something in any AC game after that feels like it's just glued in at the last minute, it probably was.
