    It’s kind of a misconception that most physical games now require you to download the game from the publisher’s servers, but most of the time that isn’t the case. Most games, the actual content is on the disc. It might just have a Day 1 patch that fixes some issues. There are some games like COD and Jedi Survivor that don’t follow this, but if you turn off your internet connection and pop most of your discs in, the full game will install properly

    If it's crazy in the US imagine in countrys that pay a lot of taxes for international stuff. The minimum wage in Argentina is just US$196 at the current exchange rate. The Ultimate Edition of the game, with taxes cost more than US$210. Just the Standard Edition, wich is now $70 not $60 anymore, ends up costing more than the Ultimate Edition. Is just insane dude.
    To be honest, i wouldn't care about the price if the game is good, but everything behind this game is just bad, starting with Ubisoft wanting you to get used to not owning your games, Single Player ONLINE ONLY, 3 days Early Access for a SINGLE PLAYER. And just a reminder, they just closed The Crew for ever and they're deleting the game from owner's libraries. I am a big fan of Tom Clancy games, at least i can play the single player stuff on most of them, but can you imagine someone taking your most precious single player game that yo buy away? Hell no, and this is going to happen if they don't remove the online only requirement from Star Wars Outlaws. Not only they're disrespecting theit costumers, their throwing away hours and years of Devs, artist, actors hardwork, i think they should be speaking about this too.
    I always wanted Ubisoft to do a 180º turn and start making GAMES starting trends again and stop chasing the most shi--- trends alive, dude, they can't even copy the most successful battlepass on the planet wich is Fortnite. At this point, i think they never will.

The quality of Valhalla is another thing but the season pass still contains dozens of hours of new content and the Francia and Ireland quests are better than most of the base game IMO.

When you buy digitally, since the dawn of time pretty much, you either know you're just purchasing access to a license for the game and NOT the game itself by reading the terms and conditions you supposedly read AND AGREE TO prior to the transaction or you know it from doing the most elementary of research on the matter. Not knowing it means never bothering to do either, which is ENTIRELY your fault as a customer and consumer.

Just stating that this game and really any other first player games getting ridiculed for having a season pass/dlc, doesn't make sense since its been a thing for awhile. Just simply stating that its already been a thing. Even in the video he points out other things that have been a thing, like the physical copies NOT being physical copies.
      Isn't DD2 Dlc or purchase have to do with gameplay though? A fast travel mechanic you can earn later on but can buy it to skip the time waiting or something Haven't? Haven't played it yet but it looks good.
      But the problem here is the INCREASE in price ranges for the levels of this game, almost 200$ is a bit ridiculous. But I see it this way these large companies over pricing games that don't deserve that price, I'm gonna wait until its on sale, a fraction of the price and play it then. Comparing this to DD2 issue, the difference is in the quality of the game. I'll probably get it soon when it has its first sale. But for a 70$ game to have micros just makes me think where assassins creed is at. I don't mind DLCs being 30-40 extra because its new stories, maps, quest lines, etc. Of course there are the other DLC content thats skins or cosmetics. Those micros don't completely make me want to stay away from DD2 but hearing if this game has it as well. Idk how this will play, or how single play or open world it is.

    Secondly, just because other games have done it, doesn't make it right; this is not an argument; two wrongs don't make a right.
    This is a completely unacceptable practice. When you buy the physical version imof a game that's what you should reasonably get, a game you can install PHYSICALLY.. This should go without saying..

    The only issue I have with the pricing is the Jabba mission being locked behind the season pass. There should be an option to purchase it separately without spending money on future dlcs.
    The internet connection required for install however I am fully against. Any singleplayer game should not need internet. It is bad for game preservation.

    They're just trying to get people to join Ubisoft Plus. And honestly, if you buy two Ubisoft standard edition games per year or one premium edition, at $20/month (incl. taxes) it's worth it even if you pay for all 12 months. Of course, if it only takes you a month or two to finish all the games in the catalogue you want to play, you can cancel until the next one comes out.

    Theres LOADS of single player games that are on disk that DO NOT require the internet to play. FF, DD, Persona, SMT, mostly RPG's. They might not have the "day 1" patch but you can pop them in and play. Just buy those, when game companies loose money/sales, thatll make a difference.

    Yongyea raised an interesting point on his video regarding The Crew which I thought was worth mentioning. I think part of the problem with games requiring an online connection to install runs the risk of having a similar issue in the license being revoked and the player essentially being robbed. I'm not saying that Ubisoft are the only company that do it and as you say, it's more of a common expectation but they've now opened the door to taking back the game you rightfully paid for. If they've done it once, what's to stop them from doing it again? I appreciate that The Crew is an older game and from what I understand, not hugely popular at this stage but the fact that they're stopping players from even accessing the campaign on the game is disgusting.

Overall, I kinda liked what I saw so far but they’re also as a subscription to where you don’t have to pay that much money. But I’m waiting for the people that are going to give it a chance. They deserve a chance to make a decent Star Wars game.

    I hadn't played any games on PC for years back in the day so when i got back into it around 2012-ish i made the mistake of buying a hard disk for Skyrim assuming i could drop the disk into the tray and simply play the game. I was in for a bit of a surprise when i found out not only did a need a Steam account but also there was no game on the disk and i had to download the entire game.
    The best part is that the game was already on sale on Steam for around 40% off so i paid extra money for a blank disk with the Skyrim logo on it.
    I still have the disk, not for sentimental value of owning a blank disk for a game but rather i used the case it came in to lift up my PC's monitor up slightly.
    It's a great daily reminder to never feel bad when a gaming company goes bankrupt because any company that treats paying customers like the gaming industry does without a doubt doesn't deserve any empathy.

    Idk, I mean I get what you’re saying but sometimes the XP boost is me paying to skip the grind. I hate having my story interrupted because I now have to go kill 200 wolves in order to level up so I can play the next story section. I only play about 5-6 story based games like Assassins Creed or Spider-Man a year and it takes me multiple weeks to finish them because a lot of days I’m so tired when I get home from work I just go to sleep. I played AC Valhalla for 6 weeks and only got about halfway through and my total play time is 62 hrs. 62 hrs = 6 weeks of playing for me and that was during the holidays too.

  • @spacecadet-zero
    @spacecadet-zero 27 днів тому

    In this case, it’s bad either way. If it is a big elaborate mission that was featured in the trailer and adds a lot to the experience, they are selling a $110 game and an incomplete version for $70.
    If it’s a lame, nothing mission that you finish in 15 minutes like in AC- then they ripped off all the season pass or deluxe edition buyers for $40.
    This is fundamentally different from a later paid DLC that has a lot of content and is basically an expansion: like Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk or Burning Shores for Horizon.
    In both those cases, I was happy to pay for additional content they put work into post-release - and in which I had a chance to establish whether I liked the original game (and so want to continue with more in this world). I could make an informed decision and they hadn’t nickel and dimed me in the base game.
    And I don’t buy the “boohoo games are so expensive to make now” argument. The publically disclosed publisher financials show they have plenty of padding to make a healthy profit on a good title. It’s just that they don’t want to make money - they want to make *ALL* the money.

    I wonder what Baldur's Gate 3 cost to make. We know that Swen pays his devs well. They finished production and he didn't fire anyone. The studio went from 150-400 people yet I haven't heard about layoffs. Perhaps he did hire external contracting. There's no argument that BG3 is not a AAA game. We might be shocked at how much less it cost to make vs one of the other companies.

    Regarding the physical copy with the activation key. Why are there cards/vouchers with credits for steam, netflix, spotify, game pass etc? It's basically the same thing, isn't? It could be a gift or a birthday present or something or, at very least, it may just stay on your shelf (which is an extra 'feature' compared to a netflix gift card :) ). After all, the main reason to purchase physical copy would be to stick it on your collector's shelf, not to have the physical disk. The fact they are still selling physical copies with keys inside means there is still some demand for it. Therefor, I wouldn't necessarily call it stupid.

    Black Flag was the last preorder I followed through with as I began paying more attention to the industry.
    Ubisoft has been putting out unfinished, buggy and sometimes downright unplayable games for nearly a decade and It’s a wonder how they’ve lasted this long given how many other studios have fallen in this timeline.
    Granted, my tastes for games these days are limited to how much time I have. I await the trailers, gameplay and if by that point I haven’t come to a decision, the day 1/ first week provides all the deets I need.
    Growing up, these big studios put out (what felt like) a fully complete game.
    Stuff like GoW, Ratchet & Clank and even Halo (1,2,3/ODST/Reach) or Gears of War.
    And for the last decade till now, studios have blatantly put out rubbish disguised as “new hotness” and it grinds my gears that these studios just brush it off like “we’ll have an update coming that’ll make it playable”.
    For a single player, offline only, I need an update?
    What, didn’t you finish making the product before you pushed it onto the stock shelves?

Yes, if there is a patch you would need internet to update, but you can play the game without updating. I know because my PS is offline all the time except for when I want to check if there are updates. So no, for installation of physical copies there has never been a need for internet, only for updates.

    I love assassin's creed. I do support this. I did pre-order the ultimate edition of SWO.
    I didn't do it to play it early or for additional quests. It's just what I do.
    If the game looks outstanding to me, I just go all in. If I get screwed, lesson learned. That company will never see another dime from me.
    Bethesda is one, I bought into the hype of Starfield and the game, for me, it was just terrible. Buggy, glitchy, just bad. I'll never support Bethesda again.
    But for me, I like Ubisoft games, I will support them. Say what people will.
    People will pay a price for what's important to them. To another it may not be worth a dime, to another, priceless. Depends on the person's likes or dislikes.
    To me its worth the price, to another it's not.
    But something that another may pay a price for, I may not, just not my gig.

    There's a couple things I see all the time that miss points completely.
    1. Some people don't give a shit about owning a game. I still have every game I've ever purchased and I haven't touched any of them in over 10 years. I do not care, and very obviously, many people do not care if they won't be able to play the game forever.
    2. You aren't buying games to own anymore. You can't say a company robbed you when they explicitly state you are paying for access to a game and not the game. If you don't like that DON'T BUY GAMES. As soon as you purchase one you're feeding into that system. Saying you don't like it is one thing, using inflammatory phrases and wording makes your argument seem emotional and no big company gives a shit about your emotions.
    Either buy games or don't, but getting mad and saying hyperbolic things when you know exactly what you are paying for and supporting is stupid and hypocritical.
