Ubisoft have confirmed that the Xbox versions of their upcoming Collector's Editions won't have physical games included.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
100% agree
All these ubisoft titles, Farcry, AC, Ghost recon, boast huge maps, but with the same, 3 missions or the same base to clear 100s of times. Hour 1 of any of those titles is the same as hour 100, there big for the sake of being big, with the illusion of player freedom, where we really want depth and player expression.
Give me a solid 15-20 hour engaging single player driven IP any day. Life's too short you dig.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Filler, it's like a 80 episodes show where only the first and last episodes actually matter
It's been a problem with pretty much every modern AAA game all through last gen and this gen. God forbid you point it out tho because all these big games are masterpieces and people lose their minds if you criticize them. Death Stranding is a fetch quest fest, but people will die defending it cause it's a "masterpiece".
Like a huge game world to truly get absorbed into? GameSpew has rounded up the best open world games on PS5.
Far Cry debuted on March 23, 2004, meaning that next week, it will have been 20 years since Jack Carver first washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise teeming with hostile mercenaries.
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.
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
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.
Wait...what? They aren't even lowering the price aswell?
You're making people pay a lot of money for these kind of editions, why the hell would you remove a physical version. Collectors Editions should be the ones which always include them.
And this is why I only buy the regular editions... you get burned so easily. It's a shame that the physical version of those collector's editions don't actually come with the physical version of those games.
People have wondered why I've said Ubisoft is the worst game developer out there and this is just more proof why they are worse than EA or Activision.
Then what's the point on offering a collectors edition and why should I be owning the collectors edition and why market a collectors edition if you're not going to include a disc? You pay a high price for a collectors edition you get some neat stuff even a figure depending on the company and a disc. The disc is essential as part of the collectors edition there are collectors who do like to brag and show off collections with collectors editions that have a game disc. You'd look pretty dumb showing off a collectors edition to a friend and saying oh yeah the game is currently digital only and its stored on my hard drive. Right now as it shows Microsoft is getting screwed over and Ubisoft is focusing more on Playstation saying skip the Xbox version just grab the Playstation version. There are people who do play on Xbox and who do collect for Xbox hell I am still waiting for the KH Collection to physically grace the XB1. Usually when it comes to Far Cry I always wait until the game goes dirt cheap as for AC Valhalla I plan on getting day one and still haven't decided on XB1 or PS4 but alienating a person because they chose a different machine is a poor way to market a game to someone and a shitty business practice.
This is really sh*tty. I would be so mad if I bought a collector's edition and it didn't even come with a game disc.
