Ubisoft games always go on sale pretty quickly… This game will be $30 by Black Friday.
The choice is either pay a kings ransom to own a game upon release (provided they come with a physical copy)
Or a monthly subscription for them to take away your right to play the game at any time in the future
Or you could just go 🛳️🏴☠️ if you have a PC
The third option is looking more and more sensible.
Yes you could wait for it to get discounted, but i doubt itll go for anything beyond 30% off within the first few months. 50% if you wait for the christmas sale or more. But that’s besides the point.
I really hate the “early-access” as a benefit because it’s not early-access, that’s just when the game releases
Ubisoft has gone down the drain so much
Just wait a year and get this on sale for $20, Ubisoft doesn’t deserve $70
If it’s a good game people will buy it at the price point they are comfortable with. If it is a bad game people will not buy it.
That is really the long and short of this whole discussion. The general gaming market has already proven to the publishers that these sorts of tactics are okay and so they will continue bar government intervention.
I agree, early access is basically just a pre-release. Guess we just gotta decide for ourselves what price is worth the game. No govt gonna step in for this
Just don’t participate…
I haven’t bought a single Ubisoft (or EA or Activision, …) game in well over a decade.
I am still alive, I still spend way more time gaming than I should, my backlog is still longer than ever and there are still more worthwhile games releasing than I could ever hope to properly play.
🤷♂️
That shit was around like 5-6 years ago why are people complaining now? One of my old coworker bought the 130$ edition and I was devasted lol.
Oh look, we’ve got another circlejerk to use for those sweet internet points!
technically you don’t own even if you buy these game anyway.
Early access and bonus contents are cut content kept apart to spill money to customers and that’s strongly predatory
I’m not worried. Looking forward to playing this, but will just be waiting for an affordable price.
If buying isnt owning then pirating isnt stealing. (I would totally download that car)
I wrote this before. Early Access, who cares? Doesn’t matter after release day anyways. Some bundles with a couple of cosmetics? Doesn’t change anything in the gameplay, who cares.
If i like the game I’ll buy the season pass and get the single mission I’m missing out on.
If i don’t like the game I won’t even care if I miss out on that single mission anyways. And that single mission will probably not even be a deciding factor if I do or do mot like the game.
I’m getting the base version.
This shit is nothing new. This has been going on for a decade. I don’t know why people are acting so shocked with this game in specific.
Why did people wake up yesterday and suddenly realize games have premium editions?
Every single new game I’ve seen coming out for the last five years has been $70 at launch and had a more expensive set of premium editions. Nothing about this is new.
Dragonball Fighterz had like five different editions. None of which seemed to have all the fighters. Ever buy a WWE game? Total nightmare. Nothing about this is new or interesting.
The only Ubisoft game I have ever paid full price for was The Division 2 and I have 500+ hours put into that. Only played 2 other games but used the Ubi+ subscription to play them, Immortals: Fenyx Rising and the recent Avatar game. The former being one of my favorite games ever and the latter being a fun enough 40 hour experience. This being another single player title that I’ll likely never touch again after beating I’ll just pay the $15 for the sub and cancel.
They just make it easier for us to not buy day one.
if the game runs well ( i’ll wait and see first) then i’ll just buy Ubi+ for 1 month, 100% the game and never touch it again.
The trailer really didn’t sell the game to me. I’d like at least a demo to see if the gameplay is decent. Currently my expectations is generic plot and like avatar it’ll feel like another far cry game
Yoohoo yoohoo a pirates life for me~
How many sad suckers already preordered the ultimate, though?
130 for farcry in space but this time you’re not blue
Or when the most expensive edition doesn’t even have all the add-ons.
This makes me even more a r/patientgamers . I will buy it 70% of. Won’t take that long anyway.
Honestly the whole thing reads like “why buy the ultimate edition, just subscribe to Ubi+”..so while I’m not going to do either, just seems like a lot of outrage for something that’s really not a huge deal…
The last Ubigame I bought day one was the division 2. So this game will be bought when it is in the bargain bin
While I think the price points for delxue editions are becoming really silly, I don’t really understand why people complain so much about it. If you want the game, just buy the standard edition and then buy any potential DLC content once released. People who buy deluxe editions of games fall into the same category of people who pre-order imo.
Can someone explain what a season pass is in this context?
I’ve been noticing lately (at least with Tekken and WWE, and now this game) that the Gold edition has the most value. The ultimate edition is $20-30 more, for not a ton, a few skins or something like that.
And maybe they’re trying to get more sales of the Middle edition by making it more enticing, or a better “bang for your buck”
70 dollars for the base game and not getting all the available content.
This is where we are now.
I’m just thankful we’ll get the base game with the standard edition. NEAT!
Where is the physical special collector’s edition with a statue of ND-5, Kay Vess’ scarf, and a pound of sand from Tatooine?
I guess I’ll watch a let’s play then on youtube.
Why… Are people still buying(sorry, renting) ubisoft games???
All that quadruple goodness soon to be slashed by 50% knowing Ubisoft.
Guess I know what game I’m not buying
offer and demand, at some point we dont buy so they dont sell.
It’s a single player ubislop game. It will be on sale in a few months.
Yeah like this isn’t every other AAA game release these days. But it’s not as bad when it’s a company you like right?
Just like activision blizzard, Sony , Rockstar,2K and many other publishers have multiple editions
Play it 3 days earlier for $130, or 3 years later for free 🤔 Easy choice.
