actually the micro-transaction is not that bad. They are all unlockable on normal progression of the game. You only pay if you just wanna rush and unlock everything instantly which to me, kills the purpose of the game. Players should basically to take their time and explore the city of paris. It's really a beautiful place in real life. Hopefully the game locations are exactly like the actual paris since the company is french anyways. French Revolution is one of the most interesting history about people power in the world.

I can't comment much on the game since can only start playing tonight. However, microtransaction on $60 AAA game is not a good idea.

true, it's bad enough they did it in mobile games. Hopefully in the future they won't purposely make games ridiculously hard which automatically force you to purchase micro-transactions to complete the game.

Ubisoft is just trying their luck with Unity to milk the crowd but of course, it's a 50/50 chance. Frankly speaking, it's a good business strategy to maximize profit. The company does not force you to pay, consumer has all the rights to purchase them or not.


Now Ubisoft better fix the damn bugs/glitches!

Ubisoft has gone the way of the assholes since AC3... Contemplating giving me money to them...
but after the lie that was the watchdogs marketing team i dont know anymore...

No, having microtrasactions in a $60 game is not right in any shape or form.

It is just for skipping content now but what happens if they put unlocks behind paywall in the future? Or deliberately slow the grind down till its almost unplayable without spending money like a China F2P? Or add timers into the game because your assassins will be tired after 1 mission like Candy Crush?

Microtrasactions brings no benefits to the consumers in any way, shape or form in a paid game. It is just Ubisoft being greedy on their part to make more money. At the same time, poor performance with ACU while all their games share the same template. Consumers should not accept bullshit like this.

If they start doing so, then we have all the right to boycott Ubisoft. For now, it's still okay except for the bugs/glitches. They need to fix that ASAP.

As long as they keep micro-transactions for purchasing "cheats" only then it'll be all good. In fact, all gaming companies should do so to discourage cheating in games and to truly enjoy a game that take years to be developed. Enjoy the game and take your own sweet time to complete it. Do you pay top dollars just to have it completed in 2-4 days?

Once, consumers were pissed when gaming introduced DLC content where we have to pay to get additional content in a game. Aren't we okay with that now?

No, even cheats are not fine because once you have microtrasactions, your game's design is compromised where it might be designed to be more grindy to sell more IAP. It is not done for the benefit of the consumers but only beneficial for a few executives in the company. At the same time, we had already seen the same problem with AAA games such as Forza 5 and GTA Online with microtrasactions actually have impact on the game. The game is actually a lot grindy than it should that resulted a huge out roar because the experience is inferior than what it should be. Why should a consumer allow something like that for a more inferior experience?

Developers wont implement microtrasactions for no reasons. They do it because they want money and in order to make more money, you need to alter the game to be more grindy to induce "pain" on certain portion of your consumers to pay up. Some people wont mind the grind, while some will be frustrated by it where they might pay up to progress faster which is what Ubisoft wants. Essentially, you are paying for "Show Me The Money" cheats in older games which is utterly unacceptable. At the same time, microtrasactions will just affect more and more portion of the game. Blackflag has the "cheats" microtrasactions to show you all the collectables and now, they are charging for in game money and faster unlocks in a single player/coop game.What about next year? The best gear is now locked behind a paywall?

Compared to DLCs, at least the Horse Armor gives you some silly cosmetics, ACU microtrasactions gives you nothing at all in return. Why should anyone accept this?

I was never fine with $15 Horse Armor but I am all fine with DLCs like XCOM's Enemies Within or Bioshock's Beneath The Sea DLCs. Same goes with microtrasactions as I oppose microtrasactions in ACU, or Clash of Clans but I am fine with them in games like Monumental Valley.

get to play the game edi? I still waiting for amazon delivery which scheduled next week

Heard the overall reception not very good...

IGN has released its video review on PS4 port (CMIIW). I'm still a bit worried on how the PC port will perform. My key from GMG just came this morning, gonna download it after work and see how it goes.

Apart from the occasional bugs, this game is actually very well made.

im playing at medium with 35 fps on gt650m, so far haven't come across any game breaking bugs but just tiny bugs.

All the side missions are interesting, im very into the one investigating murders, it allows you to study all clues and decide who to accuse, if you accuse wrongly the actual murderer will get away with it, and the innocent will be put into jail.

still a lot to play but thus far i enjoy it, hope they release patch faster to fix all the bugs and optimize it further

most of the complains only cover the performance and microtransactions. and I can't find any complain about the story yet (or I missed them).

can't wait to give this a try when I reach home later

oh ok, i checked the details anyway, every items is unlockable in game, microtransaction just a shortcut.

I think i'm fine with that lor.

tested with gtx760. 1280*720 resolution with High settings, V-sync off. around 50-55 fps.

make sure you install the latest driver from nvidia for smoother play.

Buy retail at RM120.

retail.. i will definately chuck it somewhere later and will enter in the bin one day.

great game, but the requirement is too high for me....

oh god, some chest need to link your Uplay account to Initiates. and not just that, need to be on certain level to unlock it

and I found no way to increase the level other than owning previous games and link it to Initiates.
