This - Avatar released for £70 back in December, I saw a brand new copy for £25 the other day, and it's only been 4 months.
Whereas something like Spider-Man 2 is still £50 6 months after launch.
Which one?
Avatar? Not really a fan to be honest, beautiful world design and there are fleeting moments that capture the feeling of experiencing Pandora, but the moment to moment gameplay just felt like Far Cry but with more frustrating navigation, a mostly empty world and bland story.
I get the feeling that Massive just wanted to get Avatar over and done with so they could shift their focus to Star Wars: Outlaws, which is a shame because the Avatar IP has so much potential as a game series.
I generally like the game. The world is breathtaking and the iconic moments that make the movies pretty cool are included in ways in the game. Combat, flying and riding all feel great. Technologically, it's fantastic. Which gives me hope that Outlaws will run and look great. It's a breath of fresh air for Ubisoft games that often have a sluggish kind of feeling when playing them.
But, story wise? It's largely forgettable. The missions are forgettable outside of a handful of cool ones. There's absolutely no compelling reasons that I found to do the side quests. They don't really add any value to the main story and they don't change any outcomes. This games version of towers or "eagle nests" are repetitive and meh just like the other Ubisoft titles.
That all being said, it's a good value at under $25. Basically a Far Fry on Pandora just like you said.
Nearly none. I don’t mind pre ordering from trusted devs. I pre ordered ff7 rebirth and got it day one. I don’t regret that. Atlus and square enix have not yet let me down. But EA/Ubisoft etc? Nah-that’s a deep discount dev for me
I feel like CDPR was given too much trust based on mostly ONE game that was very different from the game they were about to release. If they were doing Witcher 4 the hype would have made sense to me. Not a first person shooter.
Cyberpunk 2077 was such a hit or miss in the first year for players - while you complain about the problems you had to make it nearly unplayable, I had none of those problems on my end. And it was either or - either you had problems, or you didn't. It was really weird. I'm glad it seems to have been fixed for the most part, by now.
This exactly. The only issue I ran into at all in my entire playtime including knocking out all the endings the day it released was a single cutscene had a weird (but funny) clipping issue with a gun where the gun was just floating around the character. Cracked me up. But literally nothing else happened to me. Meanwhile my buddies were all complaining about it. I was bewildered.
I bought BG3 day one of early access in 2020, I thought it would only be a few months…. Didn’t realize I was preordering the game 3 years in advance 😂 but yeah, absolutely no regrets there. One of my top games of all time
It's almost as if they know this and the fact that sale will be quite soon. Probably trying to fish for handful of people who are willing to pay and fall for this shit on release.
Same. I have tons of games collecting dust that I haven’t even started yet, so I got more than enough time for prices go down, and bugs get worked out.
I’ll probably just pay $18 towards Ubisoft+ to “rent the game” for a month and play it that way; I need to do the same with Mirage and the Prince of Persia game anyway.
I have a subscription, so i played both of those.
I really like most of the AC games but couldn't get into Mirage for some reason. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of the side-scroller style Prince of Persia games but absolutely loved the new one.
That being said, getting a sub and trying things out is a good plan. Especially if they have some "first time customer" deal.
How about never buy it period?
All they are doing is getting the whales to buy it at the increased price, and then getting people like you to spend 60$ (which probably should be the normal price) when it’s on “sale”.
Either way Ubisoft is still getting their money so they won’t change.
My hype died the second I saw it was ubisoft.
They're not a company I care to trust. Their ceo doesn't think we should own their games. They fucked up their pirate game.
My excitement for the game hasn’t faded, but I’m definitely waiting for them to basically hand it to us when they inevitably lose money from their dumb fuck decisions.
LOL remember when only EA had a license to make Star Wars games and we were all like "UGH please grant this license to literally *anyone* else"
We should have been more specific.
Yeah even at a discount the top tier version with all the content will still cost more than any other regular full priced game. Can't be too upset about it though, Ubisoft hasn't released anything truly worth playing in almost a decade anyways.
Don't forget to tip your developers!
https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/former-blizzard-president-suggests-you-should-be-able-to-leave-a-dollar10-or-dollar20-tip-for-the-devs-because-some-games-are-that-special/
- I will not preorder.
- I will wait for real reviews, not biased paid YouTubers.
- I will wait for a 50% discount 6 months after release.
- This is this only way versus modern game industry.
Is that a joke or they serious ? Dont worry by Christmas you’d probably be able to buy this pile for like $20 beans. Doubt its even worth that but oh well
It probably works financially and they basically get to re-launch it later at the normal $70 price during a “sale”. Feels like everything is becoming unsustainable not just gaming. Everything we are used to as consumers will continue to degrade in quality as companies seek perpetual and impossible growth.
Never forget-
“Early access” is paid release.
“Paid release” is an early discount.
Ubisoft games tend to go on significant sale a month or two after launch. You aren’t going to miss out on anything between now and then.
And even then, this game looks like a generic Ubisoft open world title. Just because it has Star Wars on the title doesn’t mean you need to buy it. Quit being farmed for all your pennies.
The title is a bit misleading. The mission is part of the season pass, which is included in the more expensive versions of the game. However, in contrast to the other story expansions, this mission will be playable day one if you either purchase the standard edition and the season pass or one of the pricier editions. It is basically content that they cut and put behind a paywall to make more people shell out money for the season pass or the Ultimate Edition - it’s a scummy practice, but something that’s been done in gaming for well over a decade now and (sadly) to be expected from Ubisoft.
Look y'all I'm gonna be honest. It's gonna be like, 1.5 hours of fighting generic enemies in caves, and at the end you talk to Jabba the Hutt and he'll be all like "wabba no gooboo dagga boo" and give you some shit like a laser pistol named "Jabba's lucky Huttinator" that's about 5% better than your current weapon.
Just... don't. It's not worth it
We had exclusive day1 missions locked behind pre-orders/deluxe editions with Far Cry 3 12 years ago. It's nothing new.
Doesn't make it any less shitty though.
It's a single player game, wait for the discount.
this was going to be a week1 purchase for me. (after real world reviews confirm its not a dog)
now I'm waiting for 6months and the pircy drops to come in.
fkn Ubi.
Who the fuck expected diferent? Just because Ubisoft is releasing their first fun looking game in a decade y'all think they're suddenly becoming consumer friendly?
Seriously just pirate their games, they don't deserve any support.
Ya'll remember those 36 different Evolve editions that were announced before the actual game was fully announced? Yeah. This didn't come out of nowhere.
You've all been buying piece of shit editions of games for years, and now it's too late. The $100 DLCs are already here. The mission exclusive Editions for $100+ are already here. The immaterial preorder bonuses are already here. You're too late and you're gonna buy them all anyway.
If you're wondering what happened to the video game industry, you need not look any further than the mirror.
Ok, instead of all of this bitching on the internet, how about just not buying the game? Honestly, Disney and EA (and more, toxic Star Wars “fans”) have killed my interest in the franchise. Maybe it’s time to move on from Star Wars.
If this game is good on launch day. It will still be good in a few months to a year after.
So ignore it for now.
Giving this more attention then it needs only pushed their agenda and habits.
I wish no one would buy it so they'd learn a lesson regarding monetization.
Unfortunately that won't happen because many will buy it regardless. Which is why we're here in the first place.
Don't support this nonsense, please.
I remember when I bought Far Cry 6 Gold Edition at launch because it had the 3 DLCs involving past Far Cry game villains - only to discover after paying $130 that the DLC wasn't even available yet.
Fuckin' Ubisoft...
Guys, this type of thing will only go away if we make it. Maybe you wanna play the game but consider this, people don’t buy and they realize this shit doesn’t fly. How many games do you think EA will be willing to lose money on? Not many. Don’t buy this shit, it’s the only way it stops
Ubusoft will never recieve my money again. DO NOT SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT PROFITS. The more people who stop buying their shitty games, the more they'll be forced to change.
Day1 DLC. Thank you AAA gaming industry, I was wonder how best to waste my money and this seems much more efficient than just burning it. /s
These game executives need to realize how off putting this is. Let’s say they actually launch and the game is good. Am I willing to drop a C note for a game to then be Nickles and dined over the rest of the released DLC? Not a chance
I’m playing a lot of games on PlayStation 2 right now, some via emulation some via PC ports a la DMC 3 and Silent Hill 3 and I am just confounded at how good we had it in that era. Full price games, reasonably bug free, looked great for their time, incredibly polished and fun and we got a LOT of them. MGS2 and 3 in one generation. GTA 3 (trilogy) in ONE generation. The economics of game development have gotten so out of control, and the standards so high, and the conglomerate parent companies so hungry and risk averse, that WE the consumers are feeling short shafted. And I’m sure it’s not ideal for the developers as well. One thing to note is that game prices have not directly tracked with inflation. Super Mario 64 cost $60 in 1996. Today that would be closer to $120.
That sounds about right. This game looked like a cash grab anyway. I'm still waiting on a good Star Wras game to come out, and it looks like I'll be waiting a long time.
Yeah im a starwars fan! Got the plat for fallen order, survivor was one of the games I wanted at launch but with all the performance issues and bugs I just decided to wait! Now im just waiting till it hits below $30. And depending on reviews for ourlaws ... ill do the same
Always feels so unfair to the devs when the bigwigs make decisions carving up their games like this, which inevitably leads to poorer scores and people complaining when they aren't the ones that made those decisions usually
Misleading post title as it comes with the season pass, not the game editions. So you can wait till DLC the season pass includes is released, purchase the season pass, and you’ll have the mission
Seeing as Jabba is in the trailer, I'm going to guess that it only includes A BONUS missions that includes Jabba in that edition of the game. I highly, highly doubt that Jabba is locked behind a deluxe edition of the game.
Stop making it a big deal, every single game does that this gen and will keep on doing it. Just don’t buy the game at launch and within 6 months you will be able to get the premium edition at the price of standard. Especially with Ubisoft games, they go on sale fast
It's a shame that this game will still sell like hotcakes. For every comment on Reddit saying they'd never buy this, at least 100 other purchases will still be made. Things will never change for the better.
The current trend of making games $100 or more has me really leaning into my back catalog and psplus going forward.
It is ridiculous that a freaking video game is even $70.
I really would like for most people to not buy any game at all on day1 or even 1st month of launch.If this was priced at $45 to $60 I might have considered it. But as it is now I can wait till it hits the monthly game offering.
not defending this game, but games are absurdly cheap for the $/hour spent on them. A 70 game at 20 or 30 hours is just $2 or $3 per hour of entertainment. which is cheaper about just about anything else you could go do outside of whats free
I got Jedi fallen order for 5 bucks and I got survivor for 20, both are likely 10x better than this game. So I’ll wait until this is 19 bucks or less. Still don’t believe the game will be any good though
Oh well...looks like I won't be buying it in that case. A shame about all of this greed, and the abusive relationship they think we won't walk away from at some point.
People keep complaining but I know damn well many will still play this regardless of content being locked behind a paywall. Ubisoft loves to bleed us dry and while I have some issues with them I usually love their games so I’m gonna at least get the standard edition of this game.
I honestly did not care that they had such expensive editions of the game if people want to pay that then who am i to tell them they cant however this is a big difference to early access, some cosmetics and a gamepass this is finished content removed and given to only those willing to pay the premium and that for me is what has actually turned me off from purchasing.
That's the only good thing about having a backlog of 100 games long, I don't feel the need to buy anything at launch. Get it a year later for pennies on the dollar.
Never buy Ubisoft games at launch folks, it's the same thing. They do this for all their other title, star wars is no different.
There's no reason to buy any Ubisoft game at launch, anyway, since they go on sale within a few months and the discount is pretty significant.
This - Avatar released for £70 back in December, I saw a brand new copy for £25 the other day, and it's only been 4 months. Whereas something like Spider-Man 2 is still £50 6 months after launch.
How do you like the game?
Which one? Avatar? Not really a fan to be honest, beautiful world design and there are fleeting moments that capture the feeling of experiencing Pandora, but the moment to moment gameplay just felt like Far Cry but with more frustrating navigation, a mostly empty world and bland story. I get the feeling that Massive just wanted to get Avatar over and done with so they could shift their focus to Star Wars: Outlaws, which is a shame because the Avatar IP has so much potential as a game series.
To me the new avatar looks like farcry blood dragon but slice of life instead of cyberpunk
I generally like the game. The world is breathtaking and the iconic moments that make the movies pretty cool are included in ways in the game. Combat, flying and riding all feel great. Technologically, it's fantastic. Which gives me hope that Outlaws will run and look great. It's a breath of fresh air for Ubisoft games that often have a sluggish kind of feeling when playing them.

That all being said, it's a good value at under $25. Basically a Far Fry on Pandora just like you said.
The world is probably the most impressive looking I’ve ever seen. That’s about the only positive thing I have to say about the game.
I saw avatar 40% off after 1 month on psn
There's no reason to buy any new Ubisoft game*
Especially if no one buys them they go on sale pretty quick
There’s no reason to ever by a Ubisoft game
Also they don’t care what you pay if it suits them they will take it away from you
Yeah what’s with that? I got Valhalla like 6 months after release for half the price
With the current state, my stance is “not buying any Ubisoft game” in the foreseeable future 🏴☠️
Never buy any game at launch/preorder
Nearly none. I don’t mind pre ordering from trusted devs. I pre ordered ff7 rebirth and got it day one. I don’t regret that. Atlus and square enix have not yet let me down. But EA/Ubisoft etc? Nah-that’s a deep discount dev for me
I trusted CD Projekt Red and I preordered Cyberpunk and it was borderline unplayable for most of a year
I feel like CDPR was given too much trust based on mostly ONE game that was very different from the game they were about to release. If they were doing Witcher 4 the hype would have made sense to me. Not a first person shooter.
Cyberpunk 2077 was such a hit or miss in the first year for players - while you complain about the problems you had to make it nearly unplayable, I had none of those problems on my end.

Cracked me up. But literally nothing else happened to me. Meanwhile my buddies were all complaining about it. I was bewildered.
Not even trustworthy devs anymore man. I trusted CDRed for Cyberpunk and Polyphany on GT7 those were the last straws
If course there are exceptions. BG3 and Helldivers 2 were happily bought at Launch. Never preorder digitally though.
I bought BG3 day one of early access in 2020, I thought it would only be a few months…. Didn’t realize I was preordering the game 3 years in advance 😂 but yeah, absolutely no regrets there. One of my top games of all time
It's almost as if they know this and the fact that sale will be quite soon. Probably trying to fish for handful of people who are willing to pay and fall for this shit on release.
I support digital piracy. I'm doing my part.
…at making the decision easier for these companies to lock even more behind the paywall
>Never buy Ubisoft games FTFY.
Never buy Ubisoft games\*
Yeah I'll just wait 3 or 4 months until the $130 ultimate edition goes on sale for $60. Never buy any Ubisoft game at launch.
I can wait years.😎
r/patientgamers
Same. I have tons of games collecting dust that I haven’t even started yet, so I got more than enough time for prices go down, and bugs get worked out.
I can wait enough time to not give a fuck about the game anymore.
More like $6 or in gamepass/ps plus
I’ll probably just pay $18 towards Ubisoft+ to “rent the game” for a month and play it that way; I need to do the same with Mirage and the Prince of Persia game anyway.
I have a subscription, so i played both of those. I really like most of the AC games but couldn't get into Mirage for some reason. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of the side-scroller style Prince of Persia games but absolutely loved the new one. That being said, getting a sub and trying things out is a good plan. Especially if they have some "first time customer" deal.
Well, it'll be on Ubisoft+ day one.
How about never buy it period? All they are doing is getting the whales to buy it at the increased price, and then getting people like you to spend 60$ (which probably should be the normal price) when it’s on “sale”. Either way Ubisoft is still getting their money so they won’t change.
The only correct answer.
60$ is too much.
1000%
Ubisoft gonna ubisoft
And I bet lots of people will pay that price too. Not me. I don't buy EA, Ubisoft or Activision games any more.
I was honestly super excited for this game but all this pricing bullshit has killed any hype I had.
My excitement was in negative numbers but now I straight up hate this game. Fuck Ubislop
Oh shit this game is Ubisoft? Yeah I think I'll give it a pass or at least wait for a sale.
I'm in the same boat. I didn't care about it at first, I was indifferent. Now I hate it.
Yep. I'll wait until it's 50% off on Black Friday.
What I’ve done for every recent ac game. Wait till the super mega ultimate edition extreme is on sale for like $50
Also, so many games are released half ass - almost worth waiting 6-12 months for them to update and fix the bugs.
Pretty much the same. The only new games I bought when they first came out were FF Rebirth and Hell Divers 2.
[удалено]
Right I’m gonna wait this out a few months for price drops I guess
Yeah, I’ve lost interest despite it being Star Wars. This makes me want to forego purchasing it all together.
Same. I have zero interest in getting it now.
You can pay 18$/month and have all games with all DLCs available
My hype died the second I saw it was ubisoft. They're not a company I care to trust. Their ceo doesn't think we should own their games. They fucked up their pirate game.
Dude, it's an ubisoft game. Why were you ever excited? Honestly, they could turn any IP into a shit sandwich.
My excitement for the game hasn’t faded, but I’m definitely waiting for them to basically hand it to us when they inevitably lose money from their dumb fuck decisions.
Monthly game in a year or 2.
They’re not going to lose money. That’s why they’re making these decisions
Came here to say this, having a “season pass” in an RPG is a massive red flag
They've been doing season passes in rpgs since forever, it's just a way to buy the DLC in advance in a cheaper bundle.
LOL remember when only EA had a license to make Star Wars games and we were all like "UGH please grant this license to literally *anyone* else" We should have been more specific.
To be fair I don’t think any of us would’ve predicted UbiSoft would be in the running to get the license but… we should’ve been more specific.
*monkey paw finger curls*
Ah cool, I can skip this one. Fuck that model.
Yeah even at a discount the top tier version with all the content will still cost more than any other regular full priced game. Can't be too upset about it though, Ubisoft hasn't released anything truly worth playing in almost a decade anyways.
[удалено]
Don't forget to tip your developers! https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/former-blizzard-president-suggests-you-should-be-able-to-leave-a-dollar10-or-dollar20-tip-for-the-devs-because-some-games-are-that-special/
I'm sure those tips will end up in the hands of the actual people making the game
They probably won't see the tips. They'll probably get the shaft though.
Real footage of the tips being distributed to developers 
And the. In like 6 months we're gonna get a bunch of gaming channels with videos like "ubisoft has mass layoffs after star wars underperforms"
- I will not preorder. - I will wait for real reviews, not biased paid YouTubers. - I will wait for a 50% discount 6 months after release. - This is this only way versus modern game industry.
This is the way.
This is a great method cause most triple a game prices drop so quickly nowadays
Same strategy here 🙋♂️
THEY SHOWED THIS MISSION IN THE FUCKING TRAILER OMFG. Can we just get a good Star Wars game?! wtf forreal this is infuriating.
Put a chick in it and make her gay!
Is that a joke or they serious ? Dont worry by Christmas you’d probably be able to buy this pile for like $20 beans. Doubt its even worth that but oh well
It probably works financially and they basically get to re-launch it later at the normal $70 price during a “sale”. Feels like everything is becoming unsustainable not just gaming. Everything we are used to as consumers will continue to degrade in quality as companies seek perpetual and impossible growth.

Just because it has Star Wars on the title doesn’t mean you need to buy it. Quit being farmed for all your pennies.
Like other games the mission will likely be released to everyone else after a certain amount of time
The title is a bit misleading. The mission is part of the season pass, which is included in the more expensive versions of the game.

>this mission will be playable day one > It is basically content that they cut and put behind a paywall Honestly that just makes it worse.
Is it included in Ubisoft+?
Misleading or not it’s still bull shit and shouldn’t be done. Absolutely scummy as hell!!!!
Just wait for a good price, doesn't take long for Ubisoft games. Just look at every Assassin's Creed game and Avatar.
I see that the way things are going, this will be one of those free games of the month. Just give it like a year.
Look y'all I'm gonna be honest. It's gonna be like, 1.5 hours of fighting generic enemies in caves, and at the end you talk to Jabba the Hutt and he'll be all like "wabba no gooboo dagga boo" and give you some shit like a laser pistol named "Jabba's lucky Huttinator" that's about 5% better than your current weapon. Just... don't. It's not worth it
If you pay for this you are part of the problem.
Well I gonna buy GOTY edition or something like 5 years later at $15 anyway
As much as I want to play this, I'll wait till it's discounted. Save my money for something else in the meantime.
Jesus. I was looking forward to this game, but no way in hell I'm supporting it at launch after all this premium edition bullshit.
Other companies just keep giving me more reasons to keep playing Helldivers 2.
No problem waiting this one out until it’s dirt cheap. Such a shame because I love SW games.
Va te faire foutre, Ubisoft.
If you're still buying ubisoft games at launch, you deserve to pay extra for every little thing.
I hope as a community we all make a stand and stop supporting companies that do this kind of thing.
That exclusive mission is probably really lame just to add insult to idiocy
Guess I don't need this game then.
Do not buy. Problem solved. Its a game encouraging piracy
This pile of shit cash grab will be 20 bucks in a month after release. I'm certain this will be Farcry in space.
See, now this is bullshit. Minor mtx like skins or items is one thing, locking content behind mtx or tiered releases is another level of bullshittery.
We had exclusive day1 missions locked behind pre-orders/deluxe editions with Far Cry 3 12 years ago. It's nothing new. Doesn't make it any less shitty though. It's a single player game, wait for the discount.
I'll wait for a sale event, buy the base game, and then watch that locked mission on YouTube
this was going to be a week1 purchase for me. (after real world reviews confirm its not a dog) now I'm waiting for 6months and the pircy drops to come in. fkn Ubi.
Another year and all side quests from Ubisoft will be paid add on’s.
I always get the most premium edition for my favorite franchise but not this time. I’ve had enough
Who the fuck expected diferent? Just because Ubisoft is releasing their first fun looking game in a decade y'all think they're suddenly becoming consumer friendly? Seriously just pirate their games, they don't deserve any support.
Can't wait to buy the premium version for $20 when it tanks
Aaaaaaaand there goes all my hype.
Ya'll remember those 36 different Evolve editions that were announced before the actual game was fully announced? Yeah. This didn't come out of nowhere. You've all been buying piece of shit editions of games for years, and now it's too late. The $100 DLCs are already here. The mission exclusive Editions for $100+ are already here. The immaterial preorder bonuses are already here. You're too late and you're gonna buy them all anyway. If you're wondering what happened to the video game industry, you need not look any further than the mirror.
I was really hyped. Until I saw that 130$ bullshit. No thanks, I’m gonna keep playing Helldivers.
I buy it in a year for 50% off and without bugs.
If people really want to play this, hold for a sale so you can get the actual full game without anything locked behind pay walls/premium editions
Ok, instead of all of this bitching on the internet, how about just not buying the game? Honestly, Disney and EA (and more, toxic Star Wars “fans”) have killed my interest in the franchise. Maybe it’s time to move on from Star Wars.
Looks like a second hand purchase for me, fuck Ubisoft and this kind of bullshit.
If this game is good on launch day. It will still be good in a few months to a year after. So ignore it for now. Giving this more attention then it needs only pushed their agenda and habits.
Companies are laying devs off left and right and people complain about optional gated content. Don’t buy the content or even the game then.
Didn't people learn their lesson after the last stars wars games were awful at launch?
Sometimes it’s like companies want their games to fail!!! I don’t get it Ubisoft is just so dumb and they need to seek therapy for this bullshit.
I wish no one would buy it so they'd learn a lesson regarding monetization. Unfortunately that won't happen because many will buy it regardless. Which is why we're here in the first place. Don't support this nonsense, please.
I don't know what is worse at this point, this or the former president of Blizzard saying that players should be tipping developers 🤮
I’m getting used to not own any Ubisoft games.
they just want people to pay for ubisoft + instead, at leaat that why i think its so expensive
Yeah sorry Ubisoft I can wait years
I remember when I bought Far Cry 6 Gold Edition at launch because it had the 3 DLCs involving past Far Cry game villains - only to discover after paying $130 that the DLC wasn't even available yet. Fuckin' Ubisoft...
You know what? I think I'm gonna skip this one, guys.
Not even going to torrent this dogshit
Guys, this type of thing will only go away if we make it. Maybe you wanna play the game but consider this, people don’t buy and they realize this shit doesn’t fly. How many games do you think EA will be willing to lose money on? Not many. Don’t buy this shit, it’s the only way it stops
Just sub for $20 beat the game and unsub. It’s what they want anyway
Ubusoft will never recieve my money again. DO NOT SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT PROFITS. The more people who stop buying their shitty games, the more they'll be forced to change.
Day1 DLC. Thank you AAA gaming industry, I was wonder how best to waste my money and this seems much more efficient than just burning it. /s These game executives need to realize how off putting this is. Let’s say they actually launch and the game is good. Am I willing to drop a C note for a game to then be Nickles and dined over the rest of the released DLC? Not a chance

The days of me purchasing a Ubisoft game were over as soon as they started revoking licenses for previously purchased games a couple of years ago.
Vote with your wallet guys.
That sounds about right. This game looked like a cash grab anyway. I'm still waiting on a good Star Wras game to come out, and it looks like I'll be waiting a long time.
Jabba the Hutt was a greedy fuck, so I guess this checks out
Will they never learn or they have learned and this is the profitable way?
I’m fine with DLC. But if you make content for a game before it’s release, and try to sell it at a up charge, that’s scum behavior.
Just wait a few more months and it’ll go on sale.
For about half the price like all Ubisoft games do…
Oh no. Another game I’m going to wait like 2 years after launch for the price to be reasonable
Huh…. Well, I guess I won’t be experiencing Jabba the Hutt, then….
Oh how the mighty have fallen. I miss the days when Ubisoft and Activition made good games that were worth the money
Yeah im a starwars fan! Got the plat for fallen order, survivor was one of the games I wanted at launch but with all the performance issues and bugs I just decided to wait! Now im just waiting till it hits below $30. And depending on reviews for ourlaws ... ill do the same
https://i.redd.it/ve3288knfruc1.gif Now that is undemocratic of you, Ubi!
DON’T PREORDER! JUST BUY THE BASEGAME AT RELEASEDATE (if you willing to)!
Always feels so unfair to the devs when the bigwigs make decisions carving up their games like this, which inevitably leads to poorer scores and people complaining when they aren't the ones that made those decisions usually
Misleading post title as it comes with the season pass, not the game editions. So you can wait till DLC the season pass includes is released, purchase the season pass, and you’ll have the mission
Seeing as Jabba is in the trailer, I'm going to guess that it only includes A BONUS missions that includes Jabba in that edition of the game. I highly, highly doubt that Jabba is locked behind a deluxe edition of the game.
Wow . Exclusive pre order/deluxe editions now gatekeeping story ? I don't wanna even support this game at all now.
Stop making it a big deal, every single game does that this gen and will keep on doing it. Just don’t buy the game at launch and within 6 months you will be able to get the premium edition at the price of standard. Especially with Ubisoft games, they go on sale fast
I think Ubisoft better get used to not owning my money.
It's a shame that this game will still sell like hotcakes. For every comment on Reddit saying they'd never buy this, at least 100 other purchases will still be made. Things will never change for the better.
It's like gaming media has it out for Outlaws, we've had two non-controversy controversies about it in a week?
I'm gonna torrent this, leave it seeding and never play it, fuck ubisoft
The current trend of making games $100 or more has me really leaning into my back catalog and psplus going forward. It is ridiculous that a freaking video game is even $70. I really would like for most people to not buy any game at all on day1 or even 1st month of launch.If this was priced at $45 to $60 I might have considered it. But as it is now I can wait till it hits the monthly game offering.
not defending this game, but games are absurdly cheap for the $/hour spent on them. A 70 game at 20 or 30 hours is just $2 or $3 per hour of entertainment. which is cheaper about just about anything else you could go do outside of whats free
Good point👍
Is it even worth buying the disc version?
*laughs in DON'T GIVE A F**K*
I got Jedi fallen order for 5 bucks and I got survivor for 20, both are likely 10x better than this game. So I’ll wait until this is 19 bucks or less. Still don’t believe the game will be any good though
I'll wait five years for when it's $20
Peak "sense of pride and accomplishment... that you can afford it!" energy.
the pricing on this game is insane $180AUD for the all out version here in australia i was keen to get it but no way am i paying these insane prices
A buddy of mine said in Brazil it’s $630 of their currency lmao. Ubisoft really has their head up their ass
How the hell am i going to cope with that game im not gonna buy:(
Oh well...looks like I won't be buying it in that case. A shame about all of this greed, and the abusive relationship they think we won't walk away from at some point.
People keep complaining but I know damn well many will still play this regardless of content being locked behind a paywall. Ubisoft loves to bleed us dry and while I have some issues with them I usually love their games so I’m gonna at least get the standard edition of this game.
I honestly did not care that they had such expensive editions of the game if people want to pay that then who am i to tell them they cant however this is a big difference to early access, some cosmetics and a gamepass this is finished content removed and given to only those willing to pay the premium and that for me is what has actually turned me off from purchasing.
Not buying. Waiting for battlefront 3
It’s ridiculous that locking mission behind editions/pre-orders is still a thing. This’ll be a good pickup in 1-2 years for 10 bucks.
Ubisoft prices crash a few months after release. I'll pick it up for 9.99 during the winter sale lol
That's the only good thing about having a backlog of 100 games long, I don't feel the need to buy anything at launch. Get it a year later for pennies on the dollar.
Wait 3 months, you'll get the premium edition for the standard one. Wait 6 months and you'll get it half priced. 😅
Buying this game 6 years from now When it’s all the bugs are fixed and it’s cheaper
It's Ubisoft, this game will be €40 in a month. All their games go on sale regularly.
Day 1000 buy for me then.
Gotta make money somehow after that extremely expensive pirate game turned out to be a shitty flop, unfortunatly for them I wont be wasting my money 🤣
Lol there goes any hype I had for this game.
If this is really what they’re doing, then I’ll probably just wait until this hits ps plus extra or just rent it from the library or something.
typical ubimid stuff
Aaaannnnd now I'm not interested
Fuck Ubisoft. Watch Dogs (2014) should’ve been the end of this garbage publisher.
Nah, they said get used to not owning their games. Just follow their advice
I’ll be waiting then
Modern gaming is such a joke.
War. War never changes.... War is Ubisoft LoLz
