That sounds kind of pathetic man

For you maybe.

 I'm sort of hoping for a late April/May release. While this looks like something I wouldn't mind buying on Day One, that April/May window means the game is likely to drop to half price or so for all the Summer sales and I wouldn't mind waiting a couple months at that price.  

Cyberpunk 2077. Best case scenario for this game is August 2020.

Throwback to when you paid only once for a game

I, for some reason, thought that was coming out in late March. Still, I think Legion could get away with a late May release. I don't think they'd need more than a month gap from Cyberpunk. I guess I have no idea what else is planned for release next summer, though.

My first thought about the delay was, "Oh FFS..." but then I stopped myself and remembered every single time I've bitched when games have been released when they've not been ready.  I don't believe that microtransactions have anything to do with the delay, but I don't immediately think "MICROTRANSACTIONS" when there's a hurricane somewhere or a bus crashes.  I like to wait until I know why, before letting things bother me.

 

I just hope it isn't released with a slew of bugs.  (And cue to "all knowing" comments about how it will be full of bugs and how it IS because of microtransactions......   go!)

I hope there isn't any microtransactions

For a game like this there shouldn't have to be, but you know Triple AAA gaming companies, they'll find some low bullsh*t excuse to include it in the game. Or secondly, they say there'll be no MTX at all in the game and then silently release them a week or two after the games first release.

Yeah, in the investor's briefing where they announced the delay they implied the delays of their future games was to make sure they're done more than anything else. Breakpoint got a lot of heat for microtransactions but it was poorly reviewed, mostly for feeling like an unfinished game.

 

I have a sneaky suspicion that Ubisoft's strategy for creating games that can be supported for years was to release relatively bare bones games and then slowly add things in later. Things that should have been there from the beginning.

I'm concerned with the permadeath. They're definitely gonna let you bring back your dead characters with microtransactions.

This seems to be the strategy all new games follow. Especially online centric ones which I hope this won't be.

I hope the only kind of microtransactions that this game will have is the purchase of a season pass and DLC.

Time savers, cosmetics, free missions and paid expansions is what yer going to get if I had to put my money on it, exactly like they did in Odyssey and it worked out very well for them there I believe. Probably got a mission creator to be released post-launch too, also exactly like Odyssey as well. Doubt we'll get a mtx option to revive someone as that would defeat the whole purpose of the games core design, but I can't say I'd be shocked if they did release that.

 

They were pretty frank when they explained why they thought Breakpoint failed, although they didn't tell the whole story. Ubisoft are going through one of their Ubi-moments right now where they find a formula (open world GaaS) and attempt to milk every franchise they have with it, they did something similar with their Ubi-formula open world design a few years back which they still use these days just not as severely. I'm hoping the lesson they've learned from this is that their games need to be 1) just plain old better made but also 2) their games need to be more unique. Trying Breakpoint's beta straight up felt like The Division: Jungle edition.

 

Also, given that WD3 is probably delayed to probably just before the middle of the year, give or take a month, that's WD3, Gods & Monsters, R6 Quarantine and likely another AC game and Skull & Bones (if that's not sh*tcanned) to release before the gen closes. That's pretty mad tbh, wouldn't shock me if one or two of those games becomes a next gen launch title.

I WILL come back and remind you that you posted this, and tell you that you're wrong.  I'm 100% confident in that.

This looks like something out of an update from GTA Online. I'm better off waiting until it's released. Besides I've never been that much of fan with Ubisoft titles. Most of them are always a miss.

Not sure why, but this switching into random people thing reminds me a bit of Driver:SF. And I think the game at least has an unique idea. A kind of trend with Ubisoft is they don't want their series to be "GTA Clones", as in just another 3rd person open-world game, for some reason, they did it with Driver and now with W_D. At least they're trying tho.

 

And speaking in Driver:SF, I wonder if we're going to see some of those characters' personal lives, at least in some dialogue like "hey mom, I just joined a terrorist group!"
