• In The Shadows

[Randall365]

Wow - GAAS and 7 foot black ninjas in feudal Japan being stealthy - GOTY right here!

 

[nial]

Lol, fuck this shit. Hurry up with that Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement, Sony.

 

[Perrott]

Oh, is this a thing? Because I want a battle pass for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain now.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Would rather they have a ingame season pass every 6 months with 100 levels of unlocks that don't go away after a Season or Project is over and is instead added as loot or in a shop using ingame currency(not MTX) to acquire. You know like in Deep Rock Galactic. But uh it's Ubisoft so I kind of expect a P2W element in single player game to happen again.

 

[Danjin44]

Lol, fuck this shit. Hurry up with that Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement, Sony.

I take Sekiro 2 instead.

 

[GHG]

I don't think Ubisoft survives this generation.

 

[Sephimoth]

Fuck off!

 

[DAHGAMING]

Yess, cant wait to unlock the fucking giant flashing dildo for this historic masterpiece.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I take Sekiro 2 instead.

We will get a Bloodborne PC Port before we get Sekiro 2.

 

[nial]

I take Sekiro 2 instead.

I don't think that's coming out anytime soon.

 

[iCodec]

I cannot wait to play as a black samurai in feudal Japan and everyone in the game treats me with human decency and doesn't gawk at my characters skin color.

 

[Danjin44]

We will get a Bloodborne PC Port before we get Sekiro 2.

I don't think that's coming out anytime soon.

 

[IDKFA]

Typical Ubisoft.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I'll better wait for that infamous sly samurai from the other guys, thanks.

 

[Evolved1]

i feel bad for the 17,000 devs who worked on the assembly line, but i hope every corporate product from ubisoft collapses under the weight of its own AAAA greed.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, no thanks Ubi. You are gently lowering possibility of game ownership and I am gently lowering any shred of giving you money. It’s a win/win.

 

[LordCBH]

Ubisoft trying to Ubifuck up the only product of theirs I’ve been interested in in years.

 

[Gambit2483]

So sick of this industry's obsession with nickle and diming gamers at every turn. Why is a battle pass in a single player $70 game??

 

[Larxia]

Ubisoft really has no limits, beyond lost.
I already gave up on them because of how bland and repetitive their games are, but add this on top of everything else... There's just no reason to play their games.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Hopefully it’s not shit like Valhalla.

 

[Aion002]

Ubisoft is just the worst...

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Sorry but this does not give me rage or great fury. I don't care if someone wants to buy a sp bp that unlocks cosmetics, as long as it just stays cosmetics.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Left Assassin's Creed after Brotherhood the Ezio ones. Enjoyed them at the time but could see the milking coming. Get fucked Ubisoft.

 

[Pop]

When I look at that key art I'm greatly reminded of feudal Japan...No doubt

 

[Punished Miku]

I cant lie and say I'm not interested. I'll get this on a very steep discount. Happens to all these games.

 

[realcool]

Unity was a banger, you missed out. I haven’t played Black Flag, but I heard it was well liked.

 

[rm082e]

Well...I do still need to get to Ghosts of Tsushima and Sekiro. I started both, but fell off a few hours in.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

After how fun and nostalgic Mirage was there is no way I'm playing another bloated RPGCreed.

 

[Revolutionary]

Looking forward to playing the complete edition in 5 years for 90% off.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Ubisoft is just the worst...

The last Ubi game I've dedicated any serious time to was probably AC Unity. Ubi is my least favorite of the big publishers., by far.

 

[StereoVsn]

Looking forward to playing the complete edition in 5 years for 90% off.

Yep, if Ubi insists on this fuckery, I will insist on buying on sale for $10-20 and even that if the game comes to Steam.

 

[UltimaKilo]

How long are they going to beat this IP to death?

 

[dorkimoe]

Funny all the people saying this will kill them. They are surviving for some reason, people are paying for this stuff. This is the future, and this is also whats going to happen when we have 1 console to choose from which you all so desperately want.

 

[balls of snow]

Lol ac is a cash cow with even Mirage doing better than expected.
Day 1 will get the gold edition.

 

[Senhua]

Foreign black man c*cked local man for their local woman.
Sounds like De Ja Vu, Where do I usually see this kind of shit again?

 

[StereoVsn]

What the heck are you even talking about here? How is Ubisoft’s MTX fuckery related to “one console” (completely ignoring Switch).

And also, why in the world should we as customers take their shit? Others may buy this but it’s on them, what we can do is vote with our wallets and show U soft the middle finger.

 

[realcool]

game companies then: "wanna buy some skins?"
gamers then: "ummm... ok but lets not get carried away with this."

game companies now: "wanna buy a commitment of time?
literal fucking retards now: "DUH! of course! what? you think i just wanted you to directly sell me digital cosmetics? HELL NO! let me pay you for the CHANCE to earn them!"

simps are the fucking WORST.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Damn man, Ubisoft is not going to survice if this is how they wish to do business. The main thing saving them is that their formula is so formulaic, they can keep popping out enough games to flood the market faster then most publisher can with their big IPs. The only ones that can really compete with them in that regard is EA and Take 2.

 

[ComputerBlue]

That armor scream stealth.

 

[Švejk]

With Rise of the Ronin, and the inevitable Ghost of Tsushima 2, this will not end well for Ubi...

 

[Fbh]

This sort of implies the game is full of the same repetitive grindy shit like most other Ubisoft games. You can't grind through a battle pass if the game has no repetitive shit to grind through
No thx.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Funny how we know more about the DLC, battle passes and pre-order perks (basically of more ways to spend money in the game) than we know of the game itself.

I am really beginning to hate this trend of devs clearly;y focusing on more ways to milk me than they are on making an actual good game that I would like so much that I want to spend more money on.

 

[mitch1971]

A year from now it will be on psn sale for 20 quid or less.

 

[Halo is Back]

Of course, Ubisoft gonna Ubisoft

 

[Hrk69]

Hopefully they mess up again on PC

In previous games you could unlock all store skins with cheatengine

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Earlier this year I started a complete Ass Creed play through, I got 100% in AC1 and 2 and I took a break about halfway through Revelations or Brotherhood or whatever the third one is. I won’t bother finishing it. What a bunch of trash.

Yeah, these games are good to play in the year they come out but trying to do an entire franchise replay is going to become real tedious real fast.
