It’s not you being 40, it’s the industry normalizing the scummy practice of creating a pay wall that didn’t and shouldn’t exist.
Agreed. I love Star Wars but this being a Ubisoft game is a big turn off
welcome to capitalism over time it gets worse and scummier
How to kill all the goodwill for your game in just one announcement.
Is one mission really that much of a deal breaker?
@@Andrew_Waplesit’s one mission locked behind a fucking paywall no fucking shit it’s a big deal
@@Andrew_Waples yes
EA games challenge everything
@@Andrew_WaplesThats not the point. The point is that there is a full mission one hundred percent complete before launch and instead of being in the game at launch releasing at launch but have to pay 20 bucks for it.
$80.00 Bronze Edition. Unlocks the ability to turn left.
Maybe gamers should give Ubisoft some of the Battlefront 2 treatment that EA got some taste of
It's all anti consumer. It never truly benefits you, it benefits the suits that come up with it so they can buy a new yacht and NONE of the extra money goes to the devs.
Surprisingly very common misconception about it all is that Jabba is locked to the DLC only, when that isn’t the case. Jabba is an important part of the story.
The mission “Jabba’s Gambit” is the DLC that is also about Jabba.
The pricing of it all is definitely absurd
I think the Season Pass has the Jabba mission, the cosmetics, and then 2 DLCs after launch
That's exactly what I was thinking, but then it's weird that they don't bullet point the "Two DLCs" then do for the others making them look like a subdivision of that thing. It's like they're being deliberately confusing.
I had no idea a new Star Wars game was coming out. 😅😂
I heard about this game last year but I completely forgot about it until all this controversy.
I remember when you'd go to the store and buy a plastic case with a disc inside and the whole game was on that disc
unless you lived in Russia)))))
they'd cut the crap out of the entire game and butcher the rest with mistranslation
OR
you'd get a licensed copy you could only install twice and wreck your cd-rom
The fact that they're selling us cosmetics for a single player game is insane
Is it? DLC started off as cosmetic with the Skyrim horse armour
@@ZachBobBob i know other games do and have done it, I still think it's bullshit
@@mikeT1100 Oh yeah it's definitely bullshit
@@ZachBobBobyeah and wasn't good then either 😂
About the season pass.... its two dlc things after launch + the other 2 listed dlc things inc. Jabba's gambit
I'd buy the whole game but then I'd have to owe Jabba some money.
The Jabba the Hutt mission is separate from the story dlc it’s just one singular mission
My understanding is that the at-launch is different from the 2 forthcoming DLCs
what this approach is doing to me is very simple: It means I won´t buy the game on release. I´ll wait a few years until there´s a complete edition for 20€ or so. That also means I don´t need the most high end gaming PC because right now I´m playing games that are already a few years old because of the same stuff. After all the greed of those companies saves me a lot of money and since I´m much more into singleplayer games anyway I literally have no downsides.
This is exactly what I do as well!
Yep, this is what I do too.
It's Ubisoft you'll only have to wait like 6 months😂
Jabba and cosmetics are not the same as the DLCs, HG. Still annoying they have a paywall, but it’s not that high price for Jabba and cosmetics. It’s only a spit in the face, not a spit in the face and a kick in the nuts
I’d rather have neither
2 future DLCs promised by a franchise that's been notorious for cancelling projects (Especially videogame-related) out of the blue for the past several years. No thanks.
2:00 never thought I'd hear HelloGreedo mention the Diablo franchise
They did clarify that the base game has Jabba missions in it and the DLC is an additional one. It kind of is a dumb norm though. They basically keep working on stuff for a title after it's gone gold and the majority of the time I just skip it entirely, or just wait so long for a port that it ends up being a "complete edition" lol. Though the Ultimate edition just makes me want to wait for the Sale edition. I could sort of get charging for extra missions, but cosmetics in a single player game is just funny.
Sterling might have warned about these business practices once or twice.
The two DLCs included in the Season Pass are not "Jabba's Gambit" and the "Kessel Runner Character Pack" but two still unnamed (probably bigger) Story-DLCs that will be released after launch. "Jabba's Gambit" and the "Kessel Runner Character Pack" is additional smaller content that will directly be available at launch. I admit that the wording is a bit confusing, but you actually got it wrong 😁
There was a statement made by Ubisoft clarifying that the mission that is locked behind the paywall is a DLC mission and that all players will still be able to play the core story missions with Jaba and the Hutt cartel. That doesn't excuse this overall scummy practice Ubisoft have been doing lately of treating their games as live service titles where people have to pay more for extra stuff like a Season Pass. It's okay to be made at Ubisoft for this, let's just make sure we're made for the RIGHT reasons.
The base game is $110 here in Australia and the ultimate edition is $200. Unlockable skins that were once available through gameplay are now sold as "bonus" exclusives. Paying for story expansion's that haven't even been fully developed yet is asking to much. I love the Star Wars universe but Ubisoft will not be getting my money this time. My soul will kick my arse if I cave to these predatory business practices.
I found out there's actually 5 editions at least. There's 2 exclusive physical editions. There's a GameStop exclusive Deluxe Edition that includes the Sabacc Shark cosmetic pack and there's an Amazon Limited Edition with the Rogue Infiltrator cosmetics. Both versions costing $70.
I'm gonna wait until some reviews come out before buying it.
These companies have to come up with better ways to market these games. All I think when I see $130 is, “If I wait for a Steam sale, I could literally buy 20+ full games for the same price.” The same goes for the $70 standard, honestly. They’ve got to come up with a better way.
The expansions will be available later.
ultimate edition is half minimum wage here in Brazil
What I also really love about the "3 Day Early Access" thing is that when a AAA game releases 3 Days Earlier and is an absolout mess you´ll find alot of people who will defend thegame using the "early access" state as an argument. The amount of people that confuse greedy "early access" strategies from billion dollar companies with necessary "early acess" from small indy developers is astounding. With this little trick those companies can release the most broken of games for 10€ more than the original price and a ton of people will still be happy with the product because it´s "early access"
remember when games had 120% of content instead of 40%
I’m 27 and I don’t get it either. The only thing that makes sense to me is getting a bundle of the game and a DLC pre-order. Why there needs to be three to sometimes five different versions of one game each with different stuff that you’re never going to deal with more than once, if that, is beyond me.
Leaving out all the points you mentionend: people shouldnt pre-order at all. You pay the developers upfront for something that might be very broken and not ready, and yet they will do it again if enough people do it
Yes, I have said this times and times again. There are zero reasons to pre-order a product that gets released in an unlimited quantity.
@@theomnitorium7476building off of that: pre-ordering was understandable for high profile releases when everything was on disc. Nowadays when a disc is just gonna take you somewhere to download the game, absolutely not.
You're not paying the devs, its the execs if you think that game devs want to do this well they don't but everyone up top makes them. By not preordering you're forcing the higher ups to change, they keep doing this because people buy them.
I guess Ubi Soft didn't learn from EA and the Battlefront 2 launch????
Hey the book link in your description is broken!
Got AC Syndicate the other week for free. was lovely to play. I will most likely play star wars outlaws eventually, when the price has dropped below the 20$ Mark. Which could happen quite quickly tbh. we shall see
Piracy is a thing.
By Comparison, ConcernedApe keeps releasing extensive DLC, years after Stardew Valley's launch, for FREE!
These big publishers have learned that you can nickle and dime their customers over years of pushing the envelope.
Videogames do stupid amounts of money but they are still treated as a pump and dump scheme, publishers don't care about what these things can do long term as long as they give them lots money here and now for the CEOs and the shareholders.
Ubisoft isn't new to such shenanigans and many other big publishers make use of similarly underhanded tactics, it's why I rarely if ever buy a so-called "triple A" game at day one (and the last ones I did were the rare high budget flight game like Ace Combat 7 or Star Wars Squadrons).
I was getting a bit excited for this game until I saw these pricing schemes. Outrageous that they do this when the game itself is already 70 whole dollars
Is it a full game?
What sucks is that this game appeals to me as a Star Wars fan who prefers the more scoundrel characters like Han Solo, Mandalorian, Lando, etc. but Ubisoft pulling some bullshit like this really turns me off from the game completely.
Ah shit, here we go again
You should buy Helldovers if you haven't, it's wonderful
on one hand it sucks, but on the other it's like no shit this was gonna happen. no way would one mission and some mid costumes being locked would dissuade me from this game as a concept
"Ubisoft, more like you're going to need start a new company-soft."- Jon Jafari
I got priced out of new games a very long time ago.
it's a universal trade federation conspiracy
read the protocols of neimodian elders
it will all make sense
they also did naboo palace inside job
Yeah, seeing that price tag makes me not want to buy the game at all until hearing some more reviews. That seems to be the way things are heading.
You gotta be shittin’ me
I'm guessing you don't play a lot of ubisoft games
The way Ubisoft is going about this game and just games in general nowadays (as I understand) is absolutely not okay and nothing to do with your age.
Yeah that’s crazy, but when are you going to play hunters?
If it's a big deal then don't buy the pass or the game at all that simple. I do think that extra DLC, work that is done by devs after the game is released should be compensated. I think the pricing model they is bloated and a bit overkill. Also you can you pay for ubisoft+ for a month that includes the extra content play for a month and resubscribe when the DLC come.
I think Ubisoft should go bankrupt. But hey that is hoping for too much right?
I agree except for one thing: we shouldn't get used to it. They should take cues from games like Fortnite. Regardless of whether you like the game or not, they have offered their game for free from day 1 and have found ways to make money through skins and battle passes (which don't give you an advantage btw) and sponsorships. I think that's an amazing model. Outlaws doesn't even have to offer their game for free, but charging your customers for all this extra content, which should just be part of the original game...that's not the answer either.
Can i just buy the standard edition no issues? Like unless they're going The route of suicide squad Kill the justice league i can just ignore the the extra stuff.
It’s not just you. A good chunk of gamers and fans are upset about that day 1 dlc.
You should pirate the base game if that’s how they’re playing. It’s morally good
I get all Ubisoft games do this, as far back as like.....2014 with Watchdogs they've done it, but it really is sucky.
Don't really care about the season pass having the 2 expansions, that's fair. I just don't like it when stuff that's clearly finished and is sliced out to be added on as a bonus.
But another part of me also 'understands' that this stuff is done to please shareholders. Like they have quotas to meet and some suit heard they were working on a Jabba mission as part of the game and some suit was like "ey the nerds like the big fat slug make em pay for it" and the people actually in the trenches don't really have much of a choice.
However if my Goat Salacious Crumb plays a major role he's clearly worth the 110$ price of admission bar none. Lol
Microtransactions destroyed gaming.
It’s really unclear from adverts what’s in base game and what’s in season pass, so how do I know what I’m buying from the adverts ??????
Also early access is a joke, the game is finished just release it
So this was now debunked and now I see everyone is OVERLY negative just for online likes lmao
The first red flag was it being made by Ubisoft.
If you’re gonna release a game with day 1 DLC, the rest of the game better be completely bug free. If you had time to make DLC, you had time to fix those issues.
If this game follows the trend of broken games on launch, that’s incredibly scummy.
I'll buy the standard edition, but I'm even on the fence about that. This is so scummy. Remember when collector's editions had actually cool physical items? A real physical art book, a figure, a map, a soundtrack, a poster, iron on patches, pins, etc? Me too. I miss those.
Why are game companies so greedy
I'm excited for it. Pre-Ordered my Copy.
Well, of course since we weren't getting an open-world Star Wars game from EA, it had to come from the next possible worst distributor. Ubisoft.
I didn't want to be that guy but, I will be 😅 After what they did to the Battlefront Classic Collection, Lucasfilm Games can kiss my a**.
This type of BS has been the norm for about a decade at this point. Especially from Ubisoft and EA. And it's only gotten worse and will get worse because of the "if you don't like it just don't buy it bro"
No, the fact is if you're buying these rip off editions of games, you are the problem.
If I am not getting the full game, I am not buying it
After watching this video now, im starting to think that the game might gonna suck, but hey, who knows.
Ubisoft could get so much good will in the community if they just back tracked on this release scheme and made the jabba mission and cosmetics free with the standard edition of the game. Everyone would like that and happily praise them for it. Then they'll release the DLCs post launch and it will be alright.
Also yes get Helldivers 2
The thing I can't wrap my head around is, how can a 40 year old, be this naïve?
I've played games almost my entire life and I'm almost 40, and I've become even more critical of how I spend my money. Ubisoft and EA are some of the scummiest practitioners of these schemes. This doesn't surprise me the least, and I've grown and become to the point that my FOMO-patience has evolved to wait until some scummy game costs a mere 10 bucks on sale in some supermarket.
If you want to play the game, get the $18 subscription for 1 month and cancel it, fuck ubisoft
can you even opt out so soon or is it linked to a limit? It just can't be that easy/ They are not that stupid
@@darthmop1 I think they figure the people who truly want just one game and are going to push through in under a month are a small crowd.
They make their money off average Joe who only plays weekends, so by the time he finishes the game, he's spent almost as much on the subscription as the game woulda cost. Then he forgets to cancel, and now they've made a profit.
You ain't old, Greedo, but it is becoming more common, and it will never not be a scummy and trash practice.
To some degree, this news killed this game for me a bit once I discovered it. Money money money. Such a shame that’s all they care about but what’s new with these big game studios.
All my excitement gone for this game lmao.
Nothing new I guess. Smh...
Ubisoft is very predatory with their pricing. I'm holding off and will buy this when it's 50% off probably
You'll get it at that price within 6 months
Day one DLC is just stupid and greedy. The content already exists, just put it in the base game.
Its like being served 3/4 of a burger and being asked to pay extra for the removed 1/4
Why would I want a digital edition art book that I can only access by sitting at my PS5? That’s something I’d rather access while taking a dump
Modern games with 3 days early access are a joke. At launch most are so buggy and crappy, almost unplayable. And the Ubisoft expext us to pay MORE for such an experience? Wait a year or two, and you can grab full game with all DLC, season pass and fully patched for $10-20.
Let's call it what it is, it's content that is already ready for launch but they are locking it behind a paywall. This is setting a scary precedent
Only way we can stop these kind of shady practices happening is to not buy it until they back down like with battlefront 2.
This is just modern gaming in a nutshell, why I don't play most things today really.
might skip and replay survivor get on sale or used
I remember when they announced Ubisoft was making a Star Wars game. I was skeptical then and it seems like I’m being proven right so far. I want this game to be great. But as it stands right now, it looks like I’m saving $70
Why can’t we just get a boba fett game fr
I was excited to play it but now I’m not going to on principle
So bizarre publishers nowadays will release a “incomplete” game at launch full price I might add. Also decides to lock content out of the main because why not
It's an Ubisoft game... let's be real is anyone surprised? I was absolutely expecting this kind of shit from them lol
That’s the problem with these single player games their overpriced cuz of the graphics and stuff and once you’ve 100% it that’s it no replay whatever I still waiting for Jedi survivor to be at a cheap lol even though I didn’t really like the 1st one.
Damn I’m first for once
I’m with you, Greedo. They’re asking us to pay $70 for a game and admitting upfront we’re not getting the whole game. No, thanks. In fact, this makes it more likely I’ll wait a year or two for the price to drop before I buy it. Last year I bought Cyberpunk with the Phantom Liberty expansion pack for $30. Somehow, I survived without playing Cyberpunk until it was in the bargain bin. 🤷🏻♂️
Ubisoft is really making EA look good with these practices. Jedi: Survivor isn’t THIS bad.
Game looks like it's half finished and rushed atleast with how they do the pre orders for it.
Its ubisoft. Wait 3 months and get it for $30. Wait 6 months and itll be $20
I'm out, will wait for full game with DLC on discount in about a years time. I will never pay for 'passes' or DLC ever again.
The success of Helldivers 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 literally puts all those AAA and AAAA game releases from EA and Ubisoft to shame. Seeing the release packages available for Outlaws already makes me NOT want to buy it at all...
Nope, it's bull 💩.
