"to continue that Game of the Year experience" Well, Ubisoft sounds sure of themselves.

These games always have so much content, Ive never needed the DLC in an assassin's creed game.

Also: Why is there a Kotaku logo?

Nice this may work out

Hopefully there is continued DLC support this game looks amazing and i dont think i'll want to stop playing.

I've never been a fan of Assasins Creed Multiplayer, their is always that one guy who ruins it by acting like a CoD player and running around. So I probably won't buy it. The Singleplayer looks SPECTACULAR, though.

I've never gotten a season pass DLC before, but this one might be my first, especially after finding out that the DLC for the last AC games had some very important plot elements in them.

Yes. Now if we can only get that PS3 DLC over to Xbox.

This is a DLC seasons pass I know will be worth it :D I buy all the AC DLC anyways, but now I can get all of them with a discount :3

Season Passes, Online Passes, Downloadable Content, Micro Transactions, Digital games costing twice as much as their retail versions, etc, etc, etc. Where do these publishers think all this money is coming from? Now more than ever, people are buying less and less games. The statistics are proving that month after month, year after year, game sales on consoles are declining. Why do we think this is? It couldn't possibly be because games keep getting more and more expensive on consoles, could it?

No of course not. However, for arguments sake, lets say that the reason game sales on consoles has been plummeting as of late IS because publishers keep piling on more and more ways to take your money...When do you think they will get the hint that games are already expensive, and forcing people to pay double and sometimes more if they want to get the full experience is only HURTING the industry?

When will they stop? When they eventually push everyone away? When people just throw their hands up and give up? I'm curious when they will understand that making games more expensive is the worst possible thing they can be doing right now. In reality, offering more content and more reason to keep a game for the same price is what will keep people playing.

Alas, as is always the case, thinking in the long term is something these publishers are just incapable of doing. They want the short term gain. They want to have their cake and eat it too, but they don't understand yet that they can't do that. Perhaps when the numbers start falling even further they will understand. I doubt it though.

So Ubisoft expects us to pay however much money to blindly buy all their future DLC's. Quite a risky endeavor on both parties. Many people might not buy this, so that poses the risk for Ubisoft not making enough money from this. For the consumer, its risky because all the DLC's may be underdeveloped, rushed, awkward against the story, etc.

This defiantly seems to be the trend with devs these days.

AC3 is about to go the GOW3 route. hopefully with as much success.

Oops. ^Definitely^ (darn autocorrect:)

MP DLC = Not interested. SP DLC = Very Interested! Clarify the nature of the content before asking for money ahead of time, please. I'm sure many people would be interested if they had a better idea of what to expect. Some on the MP side, and some on the SP side. But blindly purchasing what may or may not meet your preferences seems silly to me. At least with COD, you know it's all MP, and with L.A. Noire it was all SP, but with AC it could go either way, or more likely both ways.

I hate that they're doing this *** again. Bonfire of the Vanities and Battle for Forli should have been included in the AC II final product, not added on as an afterthought. The Da Vinci disappearance was such a waste of time, and the Coprenicus missions were a joke that did nothing to further the story in Brotherhood. I refused to pay a dime for extra content in Revelations and expect to do the same with this title. Don't give me an incomplete game...

"Post-launch episodic content to continue the Game of the Year experience that Assassin's Creed 3 will undoubtedly deliver." First of all, that was very arrogant, no matter how true it probably is, the game may look incredible but that was unnecessary. Anyway, episodic content surely sounds like single player stuff, and the franchise has always had a strong single player DLC presence, so if this is true and the SP DLC is included in the pass (its hard to imagine that this is false) then I'm definitely excited for this. :)

I don't like all of this season pass stuff.  Pre-ordering a game is one thing, but pre-ordering a pass for all of the DLC before the game even comes out seems a little bit silly.  Why should developer's encourage us to blindly put our trust in them to make good DLC when so much of it isn't worth the money?  

I worked for gamestop for ages and Ubisoft never sent me a necklace... Wankers.

It just seems stupid to ever buy any season pass. you never know if the dlc will be a flop like in Saints row 3, so why bother when you could buy it later?
