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.

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.

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.

@@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.

@@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 feel like with Odyssey, they were trying to go for a "Axxess" model, where they wanted players who bought used / rental copies to pay more for the game. 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.

To tell ya a little more about the Gryphon issue, buying him then was to get to play him early, specifically before he'd be available for in-game currency. 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!

It's that companies intentionally remove or split content to make a quick buck. The more people rationalize it the worse it gets. People lost their shit back when Oblivion added $5 horse armor.

@@VouesolaR There is a difference between large expansion packs that have a lot of content vs being nickle and dimed for little pieces. Lootboxes you pay money for an RNG machine to gamble a chance to get the content you want. That's what people were upset about. 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". People gladly spend $10-15 regularly for simple color palettes and "cosmetics", which is just as useless as the infamous Horse Armor but they justify it.

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.

Years later I watched it on KZfaq and it wasn't even a good DLC or a conclusion. Then I came to know about a DS game (which I also didn't play) that takes place after the Epilogue and is basically a sequel to the console game. From what I saw of it it didn't even include Elika, the 2nd main character of the console game. This one still hurts cos I'm one of the few people who actually likes the 2008 reboot and appreciate it for what it is, instead of hating it for what it "should've been".
