Far Cry 5 Will Have Microtransactions, But No Lootboxes

Far Cry 5, the very first game in Ubisoft’s open world globe trotting first person action franchise, will, much like just about every other Ubisoft game, feature microtransactions. At this point, this should come as a surprise to no one, because this is basically the norm for all Ubisoft games.

Now, Let´s see how many people will pass on this game or they will just turn a blind eye because it´s not an EA game.

Team_Litt3013d ago

Battlefront had microtransactions and loot boxes and progression was tied heavily to purchase of MTs.
There's a right way of doing MTs and then there's EA's way.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen3012d ago

I'm not buying it until it a complete game for $20. Anyone else who doesn't support microtransactions should do the same.

moegooner883012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

People had issue with BF2 because progression was tied to loot boxes. Microtransactions like the ones in AC Origins have no impact on the gaming experience itself. There is a huge difference, and those incapable of differentiating between both and why BF2 was shunned are nothing short of clueless.

That’s a far cry from what I expected for this series, but not from the publisher

This shouldn't be pegged as good news

Really:

"Far Cry 5 has got f****** microtransactions -- because it can't just ship as a completed game."
DAY ONE DLC

It's single player with co-op on the side.

zielocz3k3012d ago

season pass and dlc were already announced few months ago, gold edition etc typical ubi

senorfartcushion3012d ago

Whip out the corresponding Spreadsheet

1nsomniac3013d ago (Edited 3013d ago )

Serious question, Has anyone ever bought any kind of micro transaction/loot box??

I’m not saying I know a massive amount of people but I’ve never met anyone who has ever bought anything other than a season pass/expansion. Maybe because I’m 34 so the people I know are of an older crowd but still. I don’t know anyone who understands the concept of paying real money for silly in game items or shortcuts. It has such an embarrassment factor surrounding it. Why would anyone want to!?

The 10th Rider3012d ago

I think it's typically either those who are addicted to those sort of things or younger individuals who don't have a good concept of value.

OB1Biker3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

A friend of mine spent a lot in MEA MP but I never heard of anyone buying anything in SWBF 2 since the game released.
Guess which game is famous for MTS.

edeprez3012d ago

I haven't. But many publishers are making more from their MT's than game sales, so there's gotta be a few incredibly foolish people out there making up for us.

bigmalky3012d ago

I have, but only in Warframe. I had played about 40 hours and realised that for a free to play game, the developers deserved my cash for a job well done... I put another 60+ hours in afterwards.

Never bought any in a retail game though, as most games with MTs these days aren't even worth £50, never mind buying overpriced shite to try and make them better.

People that do must be far gone in the bullshit of this generation.

opinionated3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

I know a few people that have spent a few dollars here and there and I think that’s most people.

These morons like to pretend there are millions of 10 year olds out there spending 5k a piece. That’s simply not true. If your launch base is spending anything, 5 or 10 dollars then that’s a metric shit ton of cash. These people are economically illiterate, they don’t understand business and they don’t understand law. That’s why they are calling for the ESRB to regulate loot boxes lol. An organization (a ratings board of all things) made by the publishers are supposed to regulate publishers. That’s how stupid these people are, don’t try to rationalize their retardation. I have tried and it’s not possible.

PUBG3012d ago

@ Op

I bought a loot box once on Gear of War 4, and then never touched another one on any game since. I found it to be a rip-off, and with Gears 4, you don't really need to spend the money anyway, since you can unlock credits pretty easy to purchase loot boxes with.

I did however buy some different cars for Burnout Paradise back in the day, and possibly some items for Uncharted 3 and some characters for Borderlands 2. Basically, yes, I've bought the odd micro-transaction, but typically I stay away from them. The key is that I have to love the game I'm playing to even consider it, and even then, I have my limits.

GruntboxWizard3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

I've bought keys for Rocket League because I want to support the developer. I got it free on ps plus and I want them to have my money to be honest, I love the game and they do a great job looking after the community. That said, I hate MTs. Also just because the guy said it's usually younger people, I'm 25.

& watch this still make money because people are sheep & stupid

edeprez3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

This is the future of gaming, I doubt we'll ever be rid of all these MT's.

_-EDMIX-_3012d ago

Or maybe because the people who are buying it simply want to play a game for fun

I'm pretty positive you can actually purchase this game and not buy microtransactions.

DaBudSmoka3012d ago

By the disagrees, I guess people can't buy it to play for fun. That's what I'm doing. MTs are of no concern to me since I do not buy them

dragonyght3012d ago (Edited 3012d ago )

the correct terminology dub by Dev for those kind of people is WHALES -_-

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot809d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor809d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos809d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius809d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88809d ago (Edited 809d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos1160d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos1160d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies1159d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red1159d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius1159d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger881173d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades1173d ago (Edited 1173d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman1173d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt1173d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai1173d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt1173d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon1173d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood1172d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon1173d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast1173d ago (Edited 1173d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy1173d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML21173d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara1173d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML21172d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood1172d ago (Edited 1172d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
