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.

Ubisoft? You mean the publisher that housed, promoted and protected sex offenders?

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like every AAA publisher.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 14 points 5 months ago

True, but Ubisoft got caught, vowed to better itself and refused to do so. It's rotten from the very core.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm sorry, I missed this. Reputable link please?

I don't need more reasons to boycott Ubi, but more gas for the fire.

There is already one Assault Rifle locked behind the premium battlepass that they are advertising.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

Ah fuck of course they went the COD way

Foreshadowing? What have you done you've cursed it

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

It has Ubisoft's name on it, its fate was predetermined.

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.

[–] Smallwater@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

I've heard it's good much better than cod

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

So we're talking as good as herring? Maybe even salmon? 😛

Sorry, as a Scandinavian, I was legally obliged to..

Nahh not really

I assume this is a joke? Otherwise what is the game called so I can look?

Which game are we talking about here?

[–] ScoreDivision@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Xdefiant. Very good if you like earlier cod games and want a lot of the random BS like killstreaks/death streaks out & a more team oriented system in place

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

[–] thefrankring@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

It's a trap. Just wait for it.

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)
[–] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I think its XDefiant

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Every now and then the big companies get confused and do something good.
