You have to pay extra for the mission that was the primary focus of the trailers.
Completely ridiculous.
Yo ho, me hearties
On a Free To Play or Freemium game? Yeah fine, go wild.
On a £50+ game, you're asking for another five or eight quid for a headline story quest that isn't part of a wider expansion? Fuck right off.
Oh come on, that's absurd. The game will be at least 70 new. Otherwise of course, spot on
Are there any game review outlets that cap the review rating for a game that has Anti-Consumer features?
I think it would be a great idea to be like "on a scale of 0-100, games with a day one DLC take a penalty of 15 points. Cannot receive a score over 85".
Publisher employ a sort of bribe/blackmail trick. Preview copies of the videogame are provided to reviewer on the "white list". If, as reviewer, make criticism that the publisher (Ubisoft in this case), don't like... you may end on the black list.
If you're on the black list, no pre-review copies for you... this mean that reviewer on the " nice" side of Ubisoft can publish review even before the day one, quite before you, as "honest reviewer on the naughty side of Ubisoft", can even go to buy and try the game to review by yourself.
At which point, being on a game companies' blacklist itself becomes a bad sign for anything that company puts out.
Though as a patient gamer, I already don't really gaf about prerelease reviews and always wait for user reviews to come in specifically to avoid the quid pro quo type reviews.
Not a big name outlet, but the Jimquisition awards bar any game with any form of post purchase monetization from entry, and will revoke the award of anything that adds them after the award is given. (This happened with Rocket League in the past.)
The first gameplay trailer I saw a while back looked pretty decent. Everything I have seen/read since has killed any desire to get this game.
Cool, I'm 100% not playing this game. I may not even get it when it goes on super sale for like 20 bucks.
Sense of pride and accomplishment
This is what I was expecting, that is why I wasn’t interested in the game.
That’s capitalism, baby!
Walt for GOTY edition (or whatever that bullshit is called) to go on sale and then consider buying.
nice! a game I can wait a year or two to play for more than half off, content complete
My only hope for the game is that you are actually a villain. Not some pussy shit about how you’re only doing it due to circumstance but are actually a good guy the whole time like the Solo movie
This is a weird expectation if you have seen the trailers. She is clearly being propped up as a good guy smuggler. She does a whole bit about freedom and getting out of the crime game.
The gMe is going to be absolutely shit, so please don't go providing false hype hopes to people.
This game needs to fail, or we will be looking at $100 minimum game purchases in 5 years.
A hope isn’t an expectation, like everyone else I will wait for reviews
