The Most Frustrating Part About Assassin's Creed Shadows...

  • It's been over a week since the reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows and there has been a lot of negativity surrounding the game. Ubisoft decided to offer some of the most overpriced special editions for a game I've ever seen, and it's incredibly frustrating to me because I would like to be excited for the game, but Ubisoft always has to make some anti-consumer business decision that kills my motivation to talk about the game. When will this company stop hurting their own reputation, with these absurd business practices?

      didn't Ubisoft start selling this nonsense with ACU? or was it before that?
      either way i agree, however i really don't trust Ubi anymore, this whole getting comfortable with not owning our games we pay full price and with the evidence of them taking away such games off of the chosen platform, yeah i don't trust them, they can go broke for all i care, i will not be purchasing any of their games now or in the future.
      i want them to go broke so they have to sell their entire IP library to someone who cares about these games and the gaming industry and not some shady company who's only interest is endless money for mediocre trash games.

      @@Gurkensuppe007no not even that. Skins should be unlockables for progression and achieving feats in the game. Each skin locked behind a paywall, is a cool challenge or unique mission that could’ve been made instead.

      ​@@Me_Myself_Maly I most definitely understand what you mean, but I feel like it's an acceptable thing under certain conditions. If a game has a good amount of skins to the point where you'd have trouble using them all, I don't think it's completely unreasonable to have a couple of SUPER high quality skins in a shop (at a reasonable price ofc).
      A good example of this is with monster hunter rise which has a billion different styles both through just crafting, layered armor crafting, or through challenges. Still, there are a couple of layered weapons and a couple of layered armor sets in store and it caused an uproar. The game has so many cosmetics you can earn just by playing that the couple of sets in the store genuinely have zero effect. It just looks really cool or is something goofy like stuffed animal weapons.
      But either way I think it's a case by case thing. Someone games definitely don't have the right to put skins in a shop, some games I feel could get away with it, if done right.

    The answer to your big question is very very simple - Because people will and are paying for it. No one is being held ransom, we all know it will be cheaper if we wait, so if money is the issue, just wait, its a single player game, your experience won’t be effected. $100+ for a game is a lot for a kid, or someone without a full time job, but lets be serious, this franchise is not meant for kids, and the sales numbers don’t lie, I’ve seen two articles so far boasting strong pre-order numbers. As long as sales remain strong, nothing will change, vote with your wallet. In addition, a lot of people expect to get 350-500 hours of gameplay out of this, so I think that is a pretty good deal compared to most other forms of entertainment. I personally got the Ultimate Edition of Valhalla for $29.99, best return on investment I’ve ever had on a game. If I knew I would have enjoyed it so much, I would have jumped in on day one.

    @thorautreg9238 4 місяці тому +3

    The problem for me isn't really that they sell different editions with different perks. The bigger issue is that the stuff you get in these editions don't justify the price at all imo. Unlike many, I'm fine with 70$ being the new price for standard editions. However, paying like 30-50$ more for editions that basically just offer season pass, some exclusive in-game items and a 3 day early access, which probably won't mean much anyways since I'm guessing most people aren't buying those editions is insane imo.
    The way I see it, standard editons and collectors editions are the only game versions that are really worth buying as I don't really see the appeal in exclusive in-game stuff, and I generally think you should only buy expansions once they themselves release. Paying that money up front for expansions you might not even care about seems a bit silly to me.

I buy the Collector's edition for the physical stuff, the statues, the steelcases, the art books etc. The in game content I could not care less about, the pre-order missions are usually short and boring, skill points are just meh I'll get them anyway and the skins I doubt I'll be running them because I like to keep the OG robes/outfits as much as I can (or turn them assassin-like, for Valhalla and Odyssey).

    Ubisoft's profit margin is 6%. I don't understand why people say that's greedy. That's like going to and ethiopian in the south park universe who has a donut and yelling glutton. These companies are barely surviving. Pay $18 if you don't want to pay $130. You get the same thing. If you want to own the game and play the 12th pay $18 now and $20 in like 4 weeks.
    Mirage's price $50 Mirage's length 22 hours. Shadows price $70 shadow's length 50 hours. Shadows is the better deal, think like a poor person. Over twice the length for 40% more money is better.

    I like what I've seen so far as far as the setting and the protagonists go. But I need to see if Quebec has done *anything* to change the janky, overly exaggerated and poorly animated combat from Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
    I've enjoyed all 3 of those games immensely, but combat has always been my least favorite part in all of them. The animations don't look satisfying or like they connect, the weapons are often oversized, and there's no finesse or style like in older ACs.
    After playing Ghost of Tsushima for the past week and a half on PC, I can't imagine something as inelegant as Odyssey's system being forced to work with traditional samurai weapons. I might genuinely just skip this game if the combat is 90% the same mechanically and animation-wise.
    I don't mind a checklist map + padded playtime if the core mechanics are satisfying and player expression in stylish combat is present. But if I have to trudge through hundreds of camps using nothing but the same weightless, dodge spam-heavy combat from the past 3 games, this might just be the first mainline AC I wait for a sale on.
    This is alongside the ridiculous pricing that's more than worth the criticism shown in the vid. The fact that Ubisoft has gotten away with selling cosmetic MTX in all the mainline ACs for years, like they're fucking F2P games, is also horrible.

    This is the norm for video games that have many different versions, it was the same with “Suicide squad kills the justice league”, avatar frontiers of Pandora (I actually believe it was more expensive but it was produced by Ubisoft but made by a different company), star field, and many more examples the reason a lot of us are angry is because we remember what it was before games got hit with inflation, and the tech of these games are getting heavily upgraded to make it look more realistic the base edition for GTA 6 is rumored to be 100 usd, this same argument was happening about a decade ago when games went from 50 to 60 ever decade or so game prices go up ten dollars because the graphics and tech that is involved in making these games are expensive not to mention the teams behinds the games as people’s pay goes of the price of things will as well it’s called inflation im tired of hearing this argument every decade, when I was ten I heard this same argument going on between my dad and his friends saying they remember when games where just 30, and that’s when games where 40-45, then when I was 15 the game prices when up to 60-65, then now when I’m in my 20s games are 70-75 USD or more, it has nothing to do with Ubisoft and the same argument happens every 5-10 years in the end my words fall on deaf ears and when games go up to 80 people will be having the same convo

  • @mandrews6282
    @mandrews6282 4 місяці тому

    This seems like normal pricing honestly. Most devs offer 40 dollar Season Passes with all upcoming dlc content. Even Dark Souls 3 sold one, with a version over 100 dollars that bundled it with the game. If they sold it separately like every other dev, it’s functionally the same as selling a bundle. And you save money since Valhalla also did this and single dlc’s were 25 a pop. Considering how long AC dlc’s usually are it’s a pretty solid price for those who want to pick it up early. But this has been industry standard pricing for a long time. I get that it may seem weird seeing it bundled. V Rising just went up for preorder on PS5 with a 100 dollar similar bundle, and Space Marine 2 has a 110 bundle. Just buying the season pass. Base game is still 70 bucks.
    The extra 20 for the Ultimate Edition is really just the extra skins and what not usually found in the usual Deluxe Edition every game has for 89.99 instead of 69.99. Shadows just doesn’t have a Deluxe Edition and that stuff is bundled in the ‘Deluxe’ or Ultimate Edition. I don’t get why people are freaking out over this. It really is bog standard pricing for dlc packs and has been for like a decade. Lol.

Maybe lower the price of Ultimate edition from 130 to 120€. And for the gold edition lower that price from 110 to 100. And it would be okay. But pre ordering games in general is bad.
    It's even kinda funny how everyone is saying that "it's too expensive" Then there's cod players who are paying full price for the same game every year+those same guys have 0 problem with buying Godzila x Kong skins for 80€ in 70€ game. So this pricing isnt big surprise nowadays.

    I'm in my 40s and I remember new Super Nintendo games being $60 in the 90s so a $70 in 2024 isn't bad (modern video games also take a lot more people to make). I just hope Ubisoft corrects some big mistakes from their previous RPG games like healthy spongey enemies from Odyssey, that bootleg Souls stamina bar from Valhalla, if they're going to use stun finishers to come up with more than 2 finishers. I also hope they'll actually optimize the game (there's no reason why Valhalla takes nearly 4 times the space Odyssey does) and make sure it doesn't crash every hour (like Valhalla). Valhalla left me so bitter, I completely skipped Mirage.
