Was this the most predictalbe thing ever?

Ubisoft going to Ubisoft...................

 

[Zheph]

Ubisoft + Star Wars, casuals will make it a success (sadly)

 

[Trunim]

It's a ubisoft game so it's gonna be mid anyway with a bad story. Why prolong the suffering with dlc?

 

[MiguelItUp]

If you have PC and you REALLY wanna play the game do Ubisoft+ and then cancel your subscription when you're done. Chances are you'll be done with it before the month is over, so $18 and nothing more.

I've never cared for Ubisoft, and stuff like this will make the above a no brainer when there's a game once in a blue moon they release that I'm interested in.

 

[Arsic]

This would have to be Jesus second coming in pixel format for me to consider playing it on balls deep discount or ubishit plus.

Pretty much this,
Did it with Avatar and AC Mirage.

You get access to the ultimate edition also so 3 days early, burn through the SP and cancel.

Star Wars being stuck with EA for 10 years and now Ubisoft... How did this franchise deserve this

I miss old Lucasarts games

 

[amigastar]

I will vote with my money. If the game turns out to be a scam i will not buy it, simple.

After 2016 Star Wars Battlefront don't be so sure.

Edit: and that Battlefront collection that just got shat out...

 

[near]

Probably a low effort side quest anyway. Fuck Ubisoft.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Stop with all this body shaming!!!

Well fortunately this is just a one off game. They're not bound to Ubisoft like SW was with EA for so long.

 

[lifa-cobex]

Given it's initial price point for the game. That really doesn't surprise me.
In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they charged £20 to get the ending.
Kind of like that AC game where you either had to grind or pay to level your character up to continue the story.

This game is probably the best example of price gouging I've ever seen. Or at least a form of coercion to get subs.
I also have faith that this game won't sell well. I think people are beginning to open their eyes up to this kind of BS.

To those that do buy it. Just point and laugh.

[Lucifers Beard]

Meh, fuck this game. Even if it's good, it's surrounded by shit decisions and shittier companies. Staying well clear of this.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'll catch the deluxe edition for cheap on a key reseller site.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Stop with all this body shaming!!!

[Svejk]

Not that I could give two shits about a cameo of a literal giant turd (and paying money to interact with a digital version of it), but all the shit surrounding this game of late, will definitely hold off and pick this up way later down the line when it's all accessible for a premium bargain bin price, if at all... Or a freebie somewhere. Screw Didney. No rusty trombone from me, fuck them.

 

[BlackTron]

Great another Ubisoft game to wait until it is ten dollars.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, Gold Edition will be $30 on sale in a year and lower afterwards. This game ain’t a must have, lol.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

It’s an Ubisoft game… just wait a month and it’ll be $35.

 

[Diddy X]

Good thing I dgaf about Star Wars.

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

What's next? When you go and see a movie you have the choice of 2 versions. Normal price for the basic version and premium price for the same movie with extra scenes?

 

[Boss Mog]

Please stop Ubisoft, you've already convinced me not to buy it ten times over, no need to keep trying.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty @ $40 dollars. Yay!

Star Wars Outlaws Jabba the Hutt @ $30 dollars. No!

You people are a strange bunch.

 

[NeoGiffer]

"aLL boDies aRE BeAutIful"

Spoiler

Jabba insisted on the paywall himself once he found out what the protag now looked like.....

 

[AJUMP23]

Kind of make sense you have to pay Jabba to play his mission. If you fail to pay you get fed to the Rancor.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Star Wars sucks anyway, they can keep their fat ass alien mission and their game.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[SJRB]

Easiest pass ever.

 

[Fbh]

Just wait and buy the full game in a year for like $60 off.
It's a Ubisoft game, it's probably not going to be worth a playthrough anyway.

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty @ $40 dollars. Yay!

Star Wars Outlaws Jabba the Hutt @ $30 dollars. No!

You people are a strange bunch.

People have historically never really liked day 1 DLC.
If phantom Liberty had launched for $40 alongside the base game everyone would have complained too (not that the game needed any more negative feedback at launch though)

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This is probably the same as every ubisoft game ever, where there's an extra small mission that comes with the more expensive edition as a bonus, but will wind up in the rewards shop so you can get it for free eventually.

 

[LordCBH]

Was interested. Now I’ll wait 3 months for the ultimate edition to be $30 because retailers couldn’t sell it.

 

[LordCBH]

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty @ $40 dollars. Yay!

Star Wars Outlaws Jabba the Hutt @ $30 dollars. No!

You people are a strange bunch.

Phantom Liberty is basically a full game. This mission will probably be about half an hour long.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Galactic-tier cringe goblin…

 

[thief183]

They really don't want to sell it... they are totally pushing for the subscription .

 

[TGO]

Can they do that as it's in the trailer for the main game.
Kinda false advertising

 

[lifa-cobex]

They really don't want to sell it... they are totally pushing for the subscription .

That's basically it.
Completely remove ownership and just turning their service into a rental model.
After which you can increase the rental price.
That way, even in slow periods of no releases, they can still make money with people who are still registered.

It's boiling the frog slowly.
I would imagine Ubisoft are hoping this trend catches on with other corps so it becomes the norm.

It's single player only and ubisux is already doing dumb shit, my advice is waiting for a sale(maybe BF)

Oh and get it physical as ubi is taking games back.

 

[Tomi]

Gonna buy it
2026
On sale

Ubisoft going to Ubisoft...................

It's not really a bad deal, since you're getting the season pass with the Gold edition. In the case of the Assassin's Creed games you always got very sizable expansion packs. I completed AC:Origins including all the DLC, but AC:Oddyssey was so large that I only finished the main game and 1 out of 3 expansions. AC:Valhalla was even bigger than that, I haven't even touched the DLC.

 

[ResilientBanana]

don't buy it. make these publishers pay.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

To me, it's an entitled attitude.

They made it. They're allowed to charge for it. Everyone is allowed to buy or not buy it based on how they value it.

If they artificially withheld the Jabba the Hutt mission for 6 months, would everyone be OK with that? Because that makes 0 sense to me.

 

[mayham2199]

Kind of shocked it took a game company this long to do it really. I remember Mass Effect with EA was brutal. Putting massive DLC stories out. They would take the most compelling story they could think of that should have 100% been part of the main story and make it DLC. How do you make the background story for the main villain a DLC mission? Dragon Age inquisition required DLC just to finish the main story.

 

[hinch7]

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty @ $40 dollars. Yay!

Star Wars Outlaws Jabba the Hutt @ $30 dollars. No!

You people are a strange bunch.

Not sure if serious. Or you've never played CP2077 and Phantom Liberty.

You're comparing a full expansion with a 13 hour main story with side missions ~22hr total, with multiple endings.. made and released years after the games release. Verses a game with a single mission cut off from it, sold off as DLC in a premium package and season pass.

 

[rkofan87]

they put hut in the story trailer but he is dlc slimy as hell.

 

[MiguelItUp]

That is a expensive price to rent a game.

True, which is why I was saying if you feel like you have to play it. Sure, you don't own it. But playing it for that price at launch, and then buying it down the road at a much cheaper price seems like a better decision. At least IMO.
