Early access like BG3 where you got act 1 a year early can be cool.
"Early access" where you can play the game 48 hrs early if you buy the super deluxe edition is ridiculous
110/130 for a game? I'm looking forward to the articles saying gaming is dead because people no longer buy 'premium" games.
Or that people are only interested in free games with lottery and gambling mechanics because nobody is apparently paying 100+ for a game.
I don't buy games until they drop below $15. Way too much to play to deal with this bullshit.
- Yeah, and too many solid games that I haven't gotten around to even buying yet that are much cheaper.
- Amen brother. Patient gamers unite!
  The other benefit of this is you can usually play older games on maxed out settings (PC). I would barely run Crysis on my PC when it came out, but when I finally got to it few years later (and with newer computer) it was easily maxed out and looked amazing (and it still does even today).
  
  Have you played sport gateway to glimmer it's a solid sequel dropped on ps1
Ubisoft gonna Ubisoft.
Well I'll just wait for the ultimate edition to go on sale for $50 or whatever.
I guess this is kind of the logical conclusion of the "never buy unless it's more than 50% off" attitude.
- I mean, this plan is the best plan. Ubisoft games go on sale almost instantly and the ultimate editions are sub $50 within 3-6 months. I’ll just go back to my Balatro trance and check this out in 2025.
- You'll probably only have to wait 2 weeks. It's Ubisoft after all
that's so ubisoft of them
As long as those editions are optional, I think it's okay for there to be choices. They make absurd collector's editions because they always sell, always!
On the other hand, the failure rate of AAA games is at an all-time high. So it's a huge risk to buy a 1.0 of anything based on a carefully edited trailer.
- Honestly, it's the failure rate and quick fizzle out that's got me waiting with any game.
  Bethesda and Starfield did it to me. Still feel bamboozled by buying that day one. I love RPGs, I love space, I love crafting, but it just fell so damn flat. And then all the rhetoric and displeasure of Dragon's Dogma 2 and mtx. It's a no for me.
  But then again, I have a hard time splitting from my money since I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I prefer to make the wisest ROI choice I can.
They are too busy drowning in sales to hear any sighs
I guess the real outlaws are the Triple Aye video game companies
God I'm glad I don't like star wars anymore. It'd suck if ubisoft put out a game I actually wanted to play, and ruin the easiest boycott ever for me (by making it harder).
- I still fucking love Star Wars. I'm super excited for this game.
  I will never pay $110 for a god damn video game. And neither should any Star Wars fan.
"outlaws" also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand
Lmao 🏴‍☠️
- Ubisoft uses Denuvo, and Denuvo games don't get cracked any more. Only way around it is if they put the game on Switch as well.
  
  I doubt this game will run on a Switch
  
  Denuvo is a subscription that they usually stop paying after a couple months.
Does AAA studio stand for Always Asking for Assets? and a AAAA studio is Assholes Always Asking for Assets.
