It’s P2W. There’s absolutely no way their grind example is actually achievable by a casual player.
This is literally p2w
"There are no pay-to-win mechanics - Any gameplay impacting content that is purchasable is also unlockable through challenges to ensure fair play amongst our community."
They should fire their marketing people.
why? their marketing people is doing exactly like they would want.
In the long run, yes. Once everything is unlocked, it is fair game. Until this happens tho, then of course it is P2W.
Maybe unranked does not have to be balanced, but ranked totally should be - all mechanics unlocked.
Ubisoft? You mean the publisher that housed, promoted and protected sex offenders?
That sounds like every AAA publisher.
True, but Ubisoft got caught, vowed to better itself and refused to do so. It's rotten from the very core.
Non-P2W
Yet.
There is already one Assault Rifle locked behind the premium battlepass that they are advertising.
Ah fuck of course they went the COD way
Foreshadowing? What have you done you've cursed it
It has Ubisoft's name on it, its fate was predetermined.
But is it any good?
Fantastic if its your kind of game. Very well made and clear the devs know the type of product they're putting out. Has its niggling initial release issues like every game but all have been acknowledged and are supposedly worked on. Also has a very vocal director who is communicating a lot with fans about what the direction is.
It's why Ubisoft baffles and aggravates me.
They clearly have wonderful game devs and designers working for them. A lot of their games have some really neat mechanics that are fun to play with.
But then they fuck it all up by monetizing it all to shit, or padding the game with so much useless bullshit it becomes a chore to play, or fucking up the pacing of the story with the sheer amount of useless side quests.
I'll freely admit - I enjoy playing their open world collect-a-thon games. But I have to play it in parts, because it just gets too grating. And of course I only buy their games when they're already a few years old, so I can take advantage of sales. No way I'm paying €120 for a game, even with all the spinning rims and fancy baubles.
It's a trap. Just wait for it.
lol the class you unlock with 700000 exp, which takes a long time to get as f2p player, is OP and can be unlocled with real money
What game? I'm OOTL
I think its XDefiant
xdefiant
They will release OP squads that will either require grinding or pay. DedSec is kind of trash tier because it is a test
Edit: apparently there is already exclusive weapons in paid battlepass
Somehow people always forget that Ubisoft published Trackmania (2020). (Limited) F2p, one time purchase for Standard access, yearly sub for club access, which is isn't even worth it if your not a dedicated player.
They changed the sub model
It's now an unique 20e/year price with everything included. 0 in app purchase. Ubisoft may have published it but I think Nadeo also put some pressure to have those restrictions. They have always been very consumer friendly
Every now and then the big companies get confused and do something good.
I played a little bit of this game,but I uninstalled it because of Battleye
Can anyone here name many P2W games? The closest I can think of is hero-based games like R6Siege, where it’s relatively cheap to get the new, generally-balanced characters, but most monetization is in skins.
Literally any mobile game. Outside of that, you have your eastern gring MMOs like Black desert or Lost Ark, Fifa with it's ultimate team, and the general pay for skipping the western market has fallen into like you have on the newer Assassin's Creed games.
Hearthstone
Pretty much the entire 4X mobile market, sadly.
