Well this is one less game that I have to balance into my checkbook.

Lucky me.

I'll buy it down the road used. It's not about getting it cheaper, it's about not supporting these practices. Money, or the lack thereof, is the only thing these people will respond to.

Or how about, buying the game but don't buy any add-on later on?

That is what I always do. Just buying the game I want to play but never buy any dlc or add-on later because I think it's a rip-off and most of the time intentionally held back so they can make money of it later on.

If no one purchased dlc and add-ons these micro-transations would go away really fast but apparently there is money to be made there because of some people who have money to burn.

If it has microtransactions, the design is made with this is mind. If they don't make walls of progression or content hidden behind the paywall, no one would purchase through the MTs. Also it is not purely aesthetic this time, as they have confirmed.

So, yes, it affects everyone, including those who don't buy the locked content. The game is automatically worse when they decide to make it this way. Sometimes only a little, sometimes a lot.

Or how about, don't worry about what I decide to do?

Good for you buddy. I have no qualms with dlc or add-ons(aside from obvious exceptions such as "on-disc", retail-exclusive, platform exclusive).

This is about putting micro-transactions in an already sixty dollar game. When you give them your money you are saying "this doesn't bother me", which is fine. However, I am not fine with it. So please mind your own business.

Edit: @Palitera

You stealthed me bro! Had I seen your post I would not have replied myself. Well said.

Ares84HU4304d ago (Edited 4304d ago )

Well let's wait for a review than that goes into detail on how micro-transactions effect this game. So far, it's mostly been small stuff like extra weapon or a car or clothes. Things that don't really have a major effect on gameplay.

But let's wait and see. If it does effect it a lot than don't worry, I will not get it either.

EDIT: @FullmetalRoyale

Wow guy, why so defensive? Did I hurt your feelings? I was under the impression that this is a message board and anyone can comment on anything. If you you don't want people commenting on your comment than you are at the wrong place.

Also, I could care less what you do because I don't even know you and after what you wrote I don't even want to know you. I just gave you an alternative, a simple suggestion and you overreacted. Nice job guy!

FullmetalRoyale4304d ago (Edited 4304d ago )

I am not mad, irritated would be the correct description. I also am confused as to how it is that you are jumping to those conclusions? I expressed that I did not agree with your post, specifically your "suggestion" to just take it. I also expressed that I had no problem with you purchasing it. Honestly you are coming off as defensive, when I intended no offense. While you are obviously attempting to insult my character.

If you disagreed, give me a disagree and tell me your opinion. But don't try and tell me what I "could" do instead.

Damn, I was looking forward to this myself, luckily I didn't take the pre-order plunge on Steam yet.

I'll wait to find this for like $30 or so for the whole package.

This micro-transaction crap has to stop now before its set in stone on all home games.

This crap on mobile games can stay. I don't touch that garbage.

SnotyTheRocket4303d ago

You could get the game, and not buy the Single-player-only-not-affecti ng-other-players-microtransatio ns. Just a thought.

Sneaky move Ubisoft, try to add them into a game which has gained a lot of hype and people will want to buy then slam MT on it at the last minute to catch us off guard so hype will hopefully consume us and we'll buy it anyway

Sorry I can't support MT, I'll think I'll buy it used.

I won't be a part of it becoming a common thing this gen like DLC last gen, DLC got way out of hand and the same will happen to MT if we all let it

Angrymorgan4304d ago (Edited 4304d ago )

Im guessing the other ubi games will follow suit too...the division, rainbow 6 etc
It'll be something not needed but helpful, like grappling hooks and zip lines..not essential but takes out the tedius climbs..mark my words

-Foxtrot4304d ago

Thus Ubisoft turns themselves into EA before this gen is over

SnotyTheRocket4303d ago

God damn, BUYING the game won't support microtransactions, buying the fu#king microtransactions supports the microtransactions. Why doesn't ANYBODY on this God foresaken site get that? I'd be mad if it was multiplayer micros, but Unity only has SP and Co-Op. It won't affect you personally if you choose not to buy the microtransactions. Send a message by not buying the micros. If you're interested in the game, then buy it for that, the damn game.

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate
