[nial]

yeah of course it does

 

[TheRedRiders]

ffs

 

[dreamstation]

No plans for DLC just a hundred piecemeal MTX

 

[Sweden85]

Annoying, but you don't have to use them

 

[rubenburgt]

Sure, it's not like the game cost 70 euros, right?
Right???

 

[SJRB]

Upgrades (such as disabling advertising)

 

[TheRedRiders]

Annoying, but you don't have to use them

Issue is they can come in the way of game progression and just makes for a shitty gaming experience, I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft even gimped quest and side quest rewards such as loot and resources, just so they can push the gamers to buy the loot and XP multipliers. They did something similar with Odyssey.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Ubisoft game features micro transactions? Who would have thought?

 

[Northeastmonk]

Sure, it's not like the game cost 70 euros, right?
Right???

It’s $49.99 USD for the standard version on PSN. They must be making a relatively short AC game, but will push MTX because “that’s what they do these days”.

 

[Black_Stride]

Didnt we know about the Forty Thieves DLC and mtx well before the game was actually announced.

Im sure theres a thread on here about the Assassins Creed leak in which we knew the name of the game because someone leaked the artwork for the DLC already....Ubi ended up having to announce the game soon after.

 

[Gaelyon]

So like all the others AC so far ?

 

[Stitch]

It's a standard text block for every game with MTX

 

[Red5]

Upgrades to disable ads? THE FUCK?

 

[Thief1987]

Right?

 

[nowhat]

In related news, water has just been confirmed as being wet.

 

[Ammogeddon]

I’d be shocked if there wasn’t MTX but paying to disable ads is some next level bullshit.

 

[Party McHardy]

Feels dirty and makes me enjoy the experience less overall. Also makes me wonder how they add them into the Starwars game.

 

[AJUMP23]

Ubisoft......

 

[Topher]

Pay to disable advertising?

 

[Saber]

To surprise of no one...
Well, the part about paying to disable ads its a new one.

 

[Pagusas]

What, you don't want Taco Bell bill boards hanging in the streets of 861 India? Then pay up you cheap ass.

I've played through every console released AC and never had a problem. The XP/loot packs are stupid as hell, but way overblown by people who seemingly never played the game.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Pay to disable advertising?

Yeah, fuck this! Utter bullshit that is.

 

[brian0057]

 

[Sybrix]

Of course..... it's Ubisoft.

You're a complete fuck tard moron if you're going to buy this game.

Not only will this be the same rinse and repeat AC formula that has become so tiresome, but you get adverts also!!!

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, no money from me, that's for sure. Ridiculous

 

[jm89]

That list is just a general list of what could the game have right?

I mean it could be something simple as skins, don't see a big deal if that is the case.

 

[Fuz]

Annoying, but you don't have to use them

Oh, the usual idiotic take.

 

[Robb]

New Ubisoft game contains MTX?

 

[RoboFu]

Oh I want to know what a fire demon is now!



oh and just dont buy it... you have this thing called FREE WILL. use it.

 

[tommycronin]

"AC Mirage doesn't include MTX" would be actually newsworthy here.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Pay to disable advertising? Lame! Who would do that?!?!?! Going back to my YouTube Premium.

 

[CGNoire]

Im out.

 

[Draugoth]

That's mild.

They have been doing that since Oddissey, you can easily skip the xp boosters.

Meanwhile, Overwatch 2 has different $40 skin packs every week,

you could buy a mansion for the price of every mtx in that game.

 

[Thief1987]

That list is just a general list of what could the game have right?

I mean it could be something simple as skins, don't see a big deal if that is the case.

Yeah, that tweet is a typical sensationalistic outrage baiting bullshit. There will be MTX, but the description is just lists what is considered as MTX in general.

 

[Kenpachii]

they can keep it.

 

[winjer]

 

[R6Rider]

The "disable ad" one has me the most curious/annoyed.

 

[Damigos]

It would be worth a thread if it didnt have mtx

 

[SJRB]

Can't stop chuckling at the thought of ancient Baghdad riddled with McDonalds and Starbucks billboards.

Low on stamina? Drink a MONSTER ENERGY DRINK!

Need a health boost? DORITOS

This will probably end up being nothing but the premise of paying more money after already having paid money just to disable advertisements in a videogame is next level bad practices.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Ads are the future. Just you wait till licensed games like "ActionGPT-Man" have Doom like gameplay and lore accurate Ads everywhere inside the game.

They will find a way.

 

[Adam_802]

Oh well

Anyway

 

[genesisblock]

"Back-To-Roots". I don't remember this in AC1 or 2 or 3.

 

[caligula13]

my wife will buy it (like every AC game), play it till the end and she will have no idea what you guys are talking about

 

[Fbh]

"Guys it's just like the old AC titles you know and love!!!*"

*well, you know, almost.

 

[Inuteu]

lore accurate Ads everywhere inside the game.

I dont mind that as long its naturaly part of the scenery

 

[Arsic]

I’d love to see a monster energy ad in the middle of the desert in this game. “Was that a mirage!? No just the animus glitching.”

 

[Laptop1991]

I'm just going to wait until the game is discounted in the future at some point, i don't want to pay full price for it on release, i like the old Assasisn's Creed, but i don't think this game that was a Valhalla dlc will bring anything new, also Ubisoft are getting worse and they wern't great to begin with.

They did something similar with Odyssey.

People keep saying this and passing it on as fact, but absolutely none of these games feel grindy at all. Odyssey just had the issue of not making some of the larger quests part of the main quest tree that totally could have.

Most of these MTX in ubisoft titles are just useless to scam stupid people.
