I always buy their games on sale, play the base game, and not spend any money on micro transactions. If I reach a a point where it feels like a time sink or grind, i stop playing and move on (the stories are never good enough i *have* to see it to the end, anyway). If i beat the game, had a lot of fun, and want more content, I might buy a DLC/expansion, but only if it doesn’t appear to be cut content or adds a different dimension or perspective to the game beyond its original design. I think I’ve only done this twice: once was Blood Dragon and once was the AC: Origins Expansion with the boss battles against Egyptian mythological creatures.

You should've mentioned the most recent cash-grab Ubisoft made: Ubisoft released assassin's creed valhalla without microtransactions so the reviewers would praise the game for that move. They waited a couple of weeks until all the big reviews were out to make Valhalla more grindy by tweaking the XP system so it's harder to level up and made the enemies scale to your Level so the game would be more tedious. They then added XP boosters and Time Savers to force the players into purchasing them.

This is interesting subject. I usually play rpg's the way that I have to do as much of sidequests as I can before continuing with the main mission. So I think this would work for some players like me, but the "timesaver" should still absolutely be free. I in fact usually loose interest in the game after I have done the main story even though there could be lots of content left in side quests. One opposite game mechanic I dislike is in farcry 5. There the game forces you to do the main mission in the sense that if you get rebellion points in some area, you get kidnapped and are forced to continue the main story a little. But yeah this is just an opinion, but I guess that this works for certain gamers

Thanks for including trials, doesn't get a lot of attention but is actually worse than what you mention in the video. You CAN get the acorns in game to buy the scarab, map packs, other bikes etc. but in order to do that you have to either find squirrels or complete contracts. The squirrels are often ridiculously hidden in tracks and the contracts are EXTREMELY difficult but when the community came together and made a guide for people how to get the easiest acorns ubisoft released a patch that made it even harder, true story. Me n my pops have put in about 300 hours on trials (albeit a lot of hours on user tracks) and we still had to pay $30 to get all map packs and bikes after finding all squirrels and not wanting to do the hardest contracts.

I've been with them from the very beginning and still enjoy the amazing experiences they release. Their open world games are mesmerising! There's nothing like AC Odyssey out there. They get hate for microtransactions and time savers. Sure, I don't agree with those practices. But they never bothered me from enjoying their titles.

@@Alexthelion93 they win you over with the pretty graphics and landscapes. Yes the worlds they make look great but the design of their open worlds are so mundane, their side quests are lazy as hell and most of the world is empty with nothing to do. Take Watch Dogs Legion for example the world looks nice but again its dry and the story is completely forgetful. Underneath all of that facade are scummy and shady practices 24/7, Ubisoft is becoming the new EA year after year. When you pay full price for a game it's full for a reason especially if its single player not "pay us 60 or 80 and we'll lock more than the majority of the content that was supposed to be in it since day one under a pay wall". Yes you aren't forced to pay but they know full well what they are doing. Companies are going to lock more and more content under pay walls the more we allow it to happen. They get loads of profit from it which makes them lazy in creating titles. If you noticed with every single recent Ubi game the structure of them are all the same it's a copy and paste with different genres

@@Alexthelion93 "They get hate for micro transactions and time savers". BRUH! that is the exact reason why everyone dislikes Ubisoft and the video is about. They create the massive open world but they intentionally code the game such that whatever you grind even for months you won't get your desired level. AC odyssey proved to be horrendous!. The world is massive which means more time you can play you can level up more but no, let setup the level bar such that it could take days to gain next level and force them to buy time server and boost pack. Just try reach level 45 in that game without booster and time saver pack, your ass get fried out and you will get burn out. Not to mention that side quests are boring as hell and it will be a huge let down for gamers which will push them such that, instead of getting immersed in the world you either had to cool your fried ass or continue getting burned up for gaining XP. About Prince of persia, they got greedy and tend to release VR version which got flopped even before that shit got released. They purposefully not releasing it because, Ubishit have no other way but to make single player compaign. This will lead them to terminate micro transactions for that game and there will be no cash grab. This is the particular reason they are not releasing POP. Instead they tried POP with multi player with VR but thank God! It failed. Also the Division, Rainbow six siege and other games, yes the world is great and huge and all, but are you satisfied by finishing up the good side quests and some filler contents and leveling up by usual Game mechanics? like witcher 3, GOW 4 rdr2? NOPE! The mechanic itself is obliterated by Ubisoft for cash grab even in Single player game! SINGLE PLAYER GAME?! Microtransactions in SINGLE PLAYER GAME?! I will whole heartedly pirate these type of games and even when I pirate these games i demand refund! Period.

There was still a huge playerbase for that game, but since it was older and in the same vein of some of their newer games, they just straight up put it down for the sake of moving players to newer games. Idk if it worked, but damn it was scummy, and that was my favorite game at the time. Edit: it was phantoms.

I never looked at Odyssey as a cash grab when you get to the point where you need a lot of experience to progress. I honestly thought it was them trying to force you to do a bunch of the side missions to gain experience. Which is what I did. I had fun doing all the side missions. I think I bought one time saver boost pack thing and that's just because I bought points for armor and weapons and stuff and just had some left over.

From my perspective, when they are in single player games, I don’t see the big deal. You don’t have to buy them, and there’s more than enough content that will let you hit Max level if you play the game normally. Before they updated Odyssey, I hit max level long before I came close to finishing the game. Yes parts of it feel like a grind, but then again the map is freaking huge and the content gets redundant after awhile. I know this repsonse is going to get a lot of backlash 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which sorta makes sense since used copies of Odyssey are common. But the reason for that is because people keep selling the game for this very same issue, they don't want to put up with it. Not to mention, people who paid full price didn't get the booster for free.

That and the ridiculous method of acquiring cards (progression) from them. The other is designing the game to be excessive unless you are willing to throw money out. It's predatory game design and it's becoming all the more popular as more games fall under "live service".

On steam you could buy him, play him once as long as you played within an hour after purchase, and then the next time you'd log on, he'd be locked again and trying to play him would just take you to the Uplay store page. This issue, if I remember correctly, took almost 2 weeks to fix, rendering the whole point of buying him early.. Pointless!

@@fedbia2003 I really don’t think you need to spend any money at all in AC. Does buying timesavers make stuff easier? Sure, but I love the gameplay and side missions of AC Origins, which is considered to be a Grundy AC game. As long as AC mechanics doesn’t turn into Fallout 76 or mass effect 3 where you have to pay for the rest of the story then I’m really fine with it

TBH I played some of the games mentioned here and I never felt like I had to spent money... If I wanted everything the game offers yes but I didnt care for the cosmetics or timesavers because I just had fun playing the game. EA is way worse when it comes to microtransactions.

Please, hear me out When fc5 was released there was a gold edition with fc3 as the "dlc" and i asked ubisoft on instagram why there weren't any dlc in fc3. They replied that fc3 was a dlc for fc5 gold edition. So i bought the gold edition for € 100 to play fc3. Later ubisoft made fc3 a standalone purchase and i felt scammed.

I'm not sure what other games did this, but by far the most absurd thing that has happened that absolutely tilted me was when Virtua Fighter 5 crossed over to next gen (from PS3/XBOX360 to PS4/XBOX ONE) and basically all the content and unlockable characters went from earnable, to purely DLC. I used to play Virtua Fighter 5 heavily in 360 days. And loved the idea of grinding the game and unlocking characters through story progression and buying all these cosmetics via in-game currency. With the next gen - at the time - they decided to scrap that whole concept and instead lock what you WERE able to earn behind a blatant paywall.

This has nothing to do with micro-transactions but ubisoft also DOWNGRADE all of their games before release. They show game demos and then give their games major downgrades before release. It is blatant false advertising and disgustingly deceptive. Just search “ubisoft downgrades” on KZfaq and see for yourself. I haven’t purchased a ubisoft game since AC3 because of the downgrades.

As most companies do? Seriously don’t get why that’s such a big deal, people said it about Watch Dogs, and you had to have been on major drugs to think the game would look exactly like that as it was coming out on PS3 and Xbox 360 at the time. All games are forced to get downgraded some especially when you have to make them playable on consoles.
