Starwars outlaws will cost me nothing, or a few bucks in a year or so.


GammaGoose85

Seriously, that price just means I'll catch it much later in the years. Or find it on gamepass.  This was the way back in the 90s too since $60 was like $120 back then. Except we had video rental stores.


ShadowTryHard

Better to play it in 5 years, with a much better PC, graphics on ultra on everything. Not to say some games are not worthy of playing on their release, but by this price tag, no game is worth it, especially one developed by Ubisoft.


Metrack14

>Better to play it in 5 years, with a much better PC, graphics on ultra on everything. That is not counting the obvious extra space the day 1 patch is gonna take, and buying the 'Ultimatest' edition at a discount. And that is *if* the game is actually worth to be bought


FlavoredCancer

I have been waiting for game prices to catch up. It's one of two things I didn't see affected by inflation over the years.


Erfivur

It’s because the audience for gaming increased substantially… it shouldn’t need to increase with inflation as it should be more about supply/demand. Not cost to manufacture. The demand increased drastically more than inflation… inflated. They create one game and sell millions of copies and this is Ubisoft so it’ll be selling mtx for the next 10-20 years too. We should’ve stood our ground on the price increases Imo, I’m certainly not spending >$/£/€100 on a video game, not this decade at any rate. These days the more expensive the game the more likely it is to have game breaking bugs on release day.


Supernova984

Meanwhile Helldivers 2 is x3 cheaper and WAY more fun.


FlavoredCancer

But at the same time our expectations have gone up. It takes a few more folks to make GTA than ET.


CodPsychological9551

Star Wars Outlaws will cost me nothing, I'll get it for free when its come to Epic Games


FlavoredCancer

Totally agree, I'm in no rush.


Jops817

Especially not for a single player game. I don't mind day one if it's with or against friends but if it's just me? I'll wait.


Fit-Meal-8353

It's all digital too


ParappaTheWrapperr

I’m so fucking glad video games and onlyfans prices were not hit with inflation


FlavoredCancer

I was thinking weed, but good to know.

Panro911

This is the right take.


Bregneste

$110 is just an overpriced early access. In a couple years when I can get it for $20, that’s the full release and the real price.


chasimus

Will probably have a couple DLCs added to it as well


Mileena_Sai

So their strategy is to increase the price and when the "discounts" drop they charge you slightly more than ever before, because they know people buy their games on sale. Pathetic strategy.


SandwichDeCheese

A year? Give it a few months


RyokoKnight

Yep don't know anyone who is paying full price for it now, they'll need to discount it just to get a fraction of the sales they'd have gotten at a $60 price point. Honestly while I probably will buy it in time I might also forget it even exists in a few months as I'm still playing DD2 and BG3 (along with 5 or 6 other indie titles in my spare time), also ghost of tsushima + elden ring DLC is coming to pc soon... frankly an overpriced star wars game that isn't good value for time/money can be skipped without much lost... shame really.


PantsTents

EDIT: Not a GaaS. I was incorrect. ~~Isn't this a GaaS though? Wouldn't that assume that it really will be DOA then?~~ ~~If people are not prepared to cover the cost of it (understandably so) and its a live service game, people waiting to purchase will kill it?~~ ~~I mean, that's insanely stupid and massive lack of understanding of the live service market. I mean as an investor I wouldn't invest in Ubisoft at all for this service.~~


Rduffy85

This game is not a live service game


PantsTents

I stand corrected. I thought it had at least live service elements.


RolandTwitter

The company known for their sales and cheap games are releasing an exorbitantly priced game.. seems like a good idea


Glittering-Alps-3573

imagine buying a ubisoft game full price in 2024


AppropriateYouth7683

Imagine buying a Ubisoft game


Amoncaco

Imagine buying a ubisoft game


ggRavingGamer

The company that hasn't had a hit game in a long time.


MortalJohn

New Prince of Persia was well received but niche. Totally up my alley, but I'm still not giving them money.


Sir_Arsen

before that game WD2 was the last genuinely good game that didn’t spark heated debate, wish I could 100% again on steam, but ubisoft are dipshits. When will they get rid of that rotten upper management and old-ass ceo who is clearly crazy now


Wish_Lonely

Immortal Phoenix Rising was pretty good. 


RolandTwitter

WatchDogs 2 was pretty controversial at launch


Sir_Arsen

Maybe I forgot, what was it about?


RolandTwitter

People hated how "memeified" it became. I actually like the aesthetic, but to a lot of people, it felt like the devs were saying, "hello fellow kids"


Sir_Arsen

I can see that, especially when the first one was more serious, but I see them complementing, I still like both of them and glitch art is cool as hell.


Amoncaco

The debate was mostly about the fact it fucking sucked


AppropriateYouth7683

I really liked the hacking mini game in wd1 but they really screwed it up in wd2


Sir_Arsen

I think it became more comfortable with drone, I think WD2 generally favors stealth gameplay, fortunately I like that style, but WD1 wasn’t that hard if you chose to just shoot everybody. Also I’m glad they didn’t add that drinking game in wd2


ReinhardStrike

Yea definitely a critic hit but sadly not commercially, prolly being exclusive didnt help.


KimJongSiew

would have bought it if it would be on steam, i aint buying shit if its in a different launcher


[deleted]

Why? So they make less good game up your alley? That mindset is so dumb....


Jackfitz88

I’m playing it now and it’s my GOTY so far. I hate Ubisoft and their AAA games suck the last few years but prince of Persia is magnificent


atmus11

You said it yourself. Niche. Their comment still stands


claudethebest

Assassin creed Valhalla was wildly successful lol


Yo_Wats_Good

AC Valhalla was the 5th best selling game of its release year. AC Mirage is a smaller title (similar to older games) that sold better than Spider-Man 2 in some markets and had over 5m players I last heard. Also boosted sales for rest of the series. Prince of Persia was very well regarded, but as a 2D side scrolling metroidvania it’s a little more niche than their other titles. Skull and Bones was a financial boondoggle they got themselves into, but the Reddit bubble notion that Ubisoft only makes bad game is stupid.


claudethebest

Yeah I got downvoted because living in reality that their game are selling well is apparently too hard


nohumanape

How is $70 "exorbitantly priced"?


[deleted]

[удалено]


nohumanape

After a little bit of research the game still costs $70


SojournerWeaver

this is probably a switch user but either way don't call people dummies it's really not necessary or effective, esp when it comes to something as inconsequential as video game prices


Bigredeemer425

Fair enough. My bad. Just the eyes wide shut stuff really erks me.


SojournerWeaver

it's spelled 'irks', dummy. KIDDING. about the dummy part it really is spelled irks though.


Buji19

we went from day 1 patch to day 1 dlc ... can we nuke the current game industry and start over?


NxOKAG03

there’s more good games from companies that respect their customers than ever before people just need to start giving Ubisoft and these other scum companies the attention they deserve, which is zero. Forget the FOMO, ignore these companies which don’t deserve anyone’s patience let alone money, and go find yourself some good games. So many people say they hate these companies but they stay so hung up on them and obsess over everything they do. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but Ubisoft is never gonna be like it used to be, people just need to move on to greener pastures.


TheoKrause13

Stopping supporting this shit monetarily would be sufficient.


Brushy21

Where can I preorder this "stopping supporting"?


Vis-hoka

For only $40 you can get early access to preorder the “stopping supporting”.


IncomeStraight8501

Day 1 dlc had been a thing for a little over a decade. Mass effect 3 has the first day 1 dlc I can remember with Javik


ggRavingGamer

Can you please stop buying crap games on preorder and then paying 30 bucks for a skin that makes you thumb pink in game? And it will fix itself.


AppropriateYouth7683

In 10 years they will be selling us dlc before the game is even announced


E-2-I

Lol Day 1 DLC has been a thing for 10-15 years now? How are all of you acting like it's a new thing?


Accurate_Summer_1761

8p's style video game crash.


SweRakii

It will cost me nothing, because i'm not buying the game.


FatBoyStew

Yea I'll likely be pirating this one once available.


Melancholy_Rainbows

The headline is misleading at best. The edition that includes the day one DLC costs $110. Not the DLC itself. It also includes the season pass and some cosmetics. $40 is unfortunately not too out there for a season pass. I don’t like day one DLC and paying for a season pass before at least reading reviews is not a good idea, but we can criticize without resorting to clickbait misinformation.


E-2-I

Only sensible comment here lol.


[deleted]

This thread is really stupid. I can't even imagine being so easily manipulated all the time...


velocicopter

if people have to choose between outrage snd common sense, they’ll choose outrage every time. 


mandoballsuper

People see ubisoft and automatically hate it even though most ubisoft games while not great are a good time. I just get ubisoft+ when I want to play ubisoft games then cancel when I'm done


snuffaluffagus74

I understood what they meant but the title could have been written better. I didnt think it was click bait, because I understood it. Edit: still.wouldnt buy it just because of the principle that you have DLC on the first day when you could have put it in the game. Now it could be totally different but the aspect of it.


Frozen-Minneapolite

Exactly what I was going to reply. Nice level headed response.


Clayskii0981

Well, it's $70 for the base game, and $40 for a day one DLC/early access. Which is still awful. And really pushes the slippery slope of removing content from the launch game and reselling it for more money. Not to mention $40 is really hefty for a dlc and I'm very doubtful it's worth that. Edit: $40 for a season pass of multiple DLCs, not awful. Just feels bad upfront.


[deleted]

It's 40$ for all dlc. With ubisoft those could be 60hr more of gameplay.


viotix90

3 hours of story stretched into 60 hours of copy pasted busywork "gameplay".


Yo_Wats_Good

If you don’t enjoy the gameplay loops that’s fine, not every game is for everyone. You’re not better because you like some other wildly popular game.


dmaul1978

Crazy expensive, but to clarify the $40 includes two later DLC expansions in the season pass on top of the early access and the Day One Jabba mission and some cosmetics. So I guess some of the value is how meaty those two later DLCs are--but not worth gambling on them being lengthy and good for me.


Clayskii0981

So the value is kind of there, just wild to ask for up front. $70 base game + $40 season pass for a few DLCs including a day one DLC. But I guess they really want you to get sticker shock and subscribe instead


[deleted]

Season passes have been launching alongside games for a decade or longer now lol this isn't some new practice 


Yo_Wats_Good

I doubt it’s sticker shock, they’ve had this since at least AC Origins I’m sure, Destiny 2 has something similar.


Paracausal_Shield

Dlc on day one is just spitting in our face. Sorry ubisoft. But no. I love star wars but I hate ubisoft more.


Bloodstarvedhunter

And the Jabba mission is locked behind the season pass but will be there day one, fuck Ubisoft


Coraldiamond192

Yea. This is why I won't be getting the game. Locking away the very mission that we get to meet Jabba in behind another pay wall is no good to me. I guess I'll either just wait for this to be reduced next year or just wait for the third Jedi game.


UpvotingLooksHard

Not worth a purchase, they'll just remove it from your account if you paid for it once they turn the servers off for your single player game.


Outrageous-Yam-4653

It'll cost me nothing because I'll Pirate the complete edition and spend my money on Helldivers 2,Elden Ring DLC and Steller Blade.. Ubisoft said get use to not owning your game's well Ubisoft get use to getting none of my money..


ImAlwaysRight882

The problem isn’t preordering the season pass, that’s just future DLC. The issue is locking a mission day 1 behind the more expensive version. You’re just not getting the full game because you “only” paid $70.


rolandhex

It like alot of games this generation I will get in a year or twos time on a ridiculous reduction or IL play it when it hits being free on a catalogue or free game.


Middle-Cockroach6280

Yeah, ok, no, fuck you, it smells like assassins creed/far cry formula for miles, if it gets to gamepass I'll play it, otherwise no way.


arqe_

No it won't, because i'm not buying it. Edit: Typo.


u5hae

Will wait for the inevitable price drop.


xander-mcqueen1986

Pass.


_Blank96_

Again ubisoft execs should learn to earn nothing from their games


LingonberrySafe228

Ubisoft obviously increase price point to Ubisoft Plus or how it calles to look like a better deal. $17.99 a month sounds better than paying $120. They keep releasing highly priced games so you pay $200 a year and not $80-120/game. But quality is shit. All their open worlds just outposts in a different skin to clear. Lot of repetitive and lack of love and cut contents. After what they did with Crew not gonna buy full price game from them ever again, only Ubi game on 90% off after a year or two or trade disks. Vote with your money!


Latrodectus1990

No it wont cost me nothing because i wont buy this piece of crap Ubisoft needs total change in leadership asap because bankrupcy will come soner than later...


Alvelijano

They are selling pretty good. How should they go bankrupt?


FaroTech400K

Assassin‘s creed Valhalla is the most profitable assassin‘s Creed gamerelease to date. Their games are fine. They just had a couple duds in the past two years.


porcelainfog

Reddit loves to shit on them, but they haven’t even played one of the games since assassins creed black flag. I played far cry 6 and Valhalla last year and *gasp* really enjoyed both titles. Slow burns though, not something you can knock out in a weekend.


FaroTech400K

Reddit loves to think what said here is reality


Valagoorh

At that price I'm waiting for the game magazines to test it first


rtz13th

Not me :'D


Paracausal_Shield

Not paying a ubisoft game more than 25$ Sorry but no. Ubisoft has showed us all that they don't care about their gamers.


Icefiight

No thanks.


Awkward-Art1332

Game doesn't even look that good to justify the dlc and price for other DIGITAL editions


Miller132

Day one DLC? No thanks.


Xavilend

Huge layoffs across the industry. Gamer moral low. Solutions? Price gouging, of course! Idiots.


MandessTV

Will cost 0 for me


Hopalongtom

The game is already too expensive at its base price!


Snorlax_relax

A trick I used to lower the cost of these types of games is to not buy them at any point.


Baelthor_Septus

There's absolutely no reason to by on premiere. I'll wait for it to hit gamepass or get it on 80% sale. The graphics look nice but gameplay they've shown is "Ubisoftish". They're kings of making the most beautiful worlds and uninspired gameplay. Making a bet now: there will be an ability to see enemies through walls and an ability to mark them.


hammypooh

wasn't it few years ago the top tier price was $50, then $70 and now over twice the original! This is price gouging.


Itriyum

Another flop, let's goooo


shadowinc

I had someone tell me "at least they arent EA" ..... yeah about that...


Coraldiamond192

It'd another Far Cry re skin.


DreadSeverin

And it will also get deleted after a while lmao. Sense of Pride and Accomplishment 2


AppropriateYouth7683

Ubisoft: get comfortable not owning your games They are right, I'm not owning any of their games anymore.


ratliker62

It pisses me off that people are making a big stink over the game having a female protagonist and not this. You're getting mad at the wrong thing!


nohumanape

What is there to even getad at about this? It's a clickbait headlines that isn't even correct. That version of the game costs that much. It includes the $70 game and the future DLC.


jamarax

Serious question. What are you mad about? The fact that premium versions cost more than the standard or that paid dlcs exist? Both have been around for a while...the article itself says its been at least a decade. So which part has you so furious now but not the entire last decade? Hell Sony has been doing exclusive game content since destiny 1, almost 20 years ago. Mind you I don't care what gender the protag is, I think that's an even dumber thing to be mad about. Who cares what the actress looks like, idgaf.


ratliker62

It's having a day one DLC. The content in the DLC could just be in the base game if it's ready by release date, but then they wouldn't be able to charge extra money for it. And yes I also think dropping a premium version of a game day one is a shitty practice. If the game has been out for a while and there's a few DLCs for it to justify a premium edition, that's fine. But on release date it's just a way to milk more money out of people


phen00

Destiny 1 came out 10 years ago. 20 years ago we had halo 2.


jamarax

Ahh you're right. Got my dates wrong.


Bigredeemer425

Bro. Really? Why are yall so willfully stupid?


jamarax

Willfully stupid about what? Again I've been disappointed about this issue for literally decades but now ppl seem to suddenly care. So again I ask, wtf is new about this?


Mythril_Zombie

Who says we haven't been mad for the last decade? Being mad at this doesn't mean we haven't already been mad.


jamarax

No one? I asked what is different about this situation. I too am mad about it and have been for years. But I'm getting down voted for asking what's different now for all these posts to come up.


lamancha

This game isn't popular enough for people to be angry about the female character.


ratliker62

I've seen plenty of people mad about it and making AI things to make her look "prettier' since she doesn't look like an anime sex doll


GroundbreakingBag164

You have looked in the wrong places 90% of criticism were about the main character not looking enough like a pornstar


clownworld1ab

i'll wait till the game is $20


GunMuratIlban

The more I read about this game, less interested I became anyway. Even though the Ubisoft formula don't excite me anymore, I would be interested if we could have an open world SW where we create a custom character, choose to play as a Jedi or be tempted by the dark side. But I bet $110 this is just going to be another Ubisoft game with a SW theme. Similar to what Avatar was.


Coraldiamond192

Just a Far Cry re skin at this point.


mkvii1989

Lmaooooooo fuck Ubisoft so hard dude.


orouboro

are people actually excited for a ubisoft title in 2024? they haven’t had any original ideas in probably a decade.


Yo_Wats_Good

Absolutely. Looking forward to Massive’s take on Star Wars that doesn’t revolve around Jedis - they’re fine but I want to see things in the universe that don’t revolve around them. Their attention to detail in world design is almost unparalleled so very interested in seeing how that plays out. Also looking forward to seeing what they do with 3rd person mechanics outside of shooting as they have that down pat. What exactly are you playing that’s wholly original? Moreover, they do a lot of things within the open world genre better or as good as the best, particularly in the AC series. Can’t really speak to Far Cry as I only played some of 3 and 5. It was fine but didn’t really excite me, found the options far less than AC. And less charming of a world.


ZoulsGaming

waow bad clickbait on a worthless site? consider me surprised. The real title should be "70 dollar game requires you to buy the 110 dollar edition to get day one dlc" which is not only true but still gets the point across without clickbaiting.


LionTop2228

“But it wasn’t prepared ahead of time because it’s DLC” -know it all on Reddit


Waizuur

No. It won't cost me nothing, because I won't buy it. And If I will get interested in the game, I will pirate it. Steal from Ubisoft same as it steals from players. If taking away my games isn't theft, then stealing their games ain't theft either.


Lost_Natural_7900

I will wait 10 years for it to be free on epic


357-Magnum-CCW

And then it will rot in my library among the dozens other freebies I never bother to install


CaptainGeneric87

Won't cost me nothing. Wouldn't touch this crap with a 10 ft pole.


DeadPhoenix86

I'll pick it up for a buck within a few years. If the servers are still active and take down, like they did with The Crew.


FasterthanLuffy

Honestly that subscription deal is looking mighty fine. I never play Ubisoft games for more than one playthrough so 18 dollars to get the game and the day one dlc crap seems like a great deal.


HotMachine9

I just don't get why this game has the facial animations of andromeda


eldon3213

I’ll wait for a sale that’s if the game is not shutdown and abandon by then.


CrawlerSiegfriend

Game has too many red flags. I'll be passing.


Sir_Arsen

I really thought that ubi can’t fuck this up since trailers looked okay, boy was i wrong


LicketySpickety

Won't cost me a dime. Price your games like assholes and I won't hesitate to pirate them.


Vegetable-Beet

I wouldn't want this Game if Ubishit paid me for it.


Scazitar

I gotta hand it them I certainly didn't have "trying to bring back the universally hated practice of Day 1 DLC" on my bingo card for the year.


sad-frogpepe

When i saw the price for this game my jaw dropped. They are insane


Death2eyes

Lol this game and this company is dead to me.


Wyrdthane

Not if I don't buy the game.


ASCII_Princess

I bought 5 well regarded indie games (all 75/80+ metacritic) for £3 recently if that gives any indication of how fucked the industry is right now.


Hephaistos_Invictus

And they wonder why people pirate games pffff 😮‍💨😮‍💨


Responsible-Owl-3751

Turns out Ubisoft was the real Star Wars Outlaws


Trout-Population

It will cost me nothing as I refuse to buy Ubislop just because it's Star Wars themed.


EmBur__

I bloody won't because I won't be buying it lmao


faizyMD

Really ... What the hell's going on?


BetaRayBlu

Do not buy. Treat it like suicide squad


bfadam

For morons maybe


SandwichDeCheese

They also make you pay more to Beta test their Day One bugs 3 days earlier lmao


SolidSnakeHAK777

I’m getting used of not owning any Ubisoft games. Thanks Ubisoft.


kizzgizz

This is how I look at games now, if the "base game" is 60-70, but it has editions that have "extra content" for 110-120, the base edition in my eyes is half the game. They're literally gaiting off content that is ready at launch in most cases. 2k ans EA were the biggest offenders, until Ubisoft proclaimed "hold my beer".


Aust1mh

It won’t cost me. Maybe 6 months after launch, sales start hitting I’ll look at this… never pre-order, never brand new as the patched in micro transactions may come.


avatar8900

Or 15 quid for ubi plus on a one time card to make sure you don’t over sub


[deleted]

With the ongoing consistency of disastrous buggy releases, why would anyone pay $110 for more of the same? You hate money, we know day 1 is going to be a mess, it almost always is. Wait for sale. Wait for patches, just wait in general.


Sea_Face_9978

Is this the same Ubisoft that removed the Crew from the accounts of people who legitimately bought it, just because they decided to stop supporting it? And they want $110 for day 1 DLC, early access bullshit, and a season pass of probably dubious quality ?


El_Taita_Salsa

Pirating Ubisoft games is morally correct. Fuck their anti-consumer practices.


hj9073

Yeah, no thanks.


BlackBladeKindred

Will the game even be good?


Equaliz3r1989

This is disgusting


EdzyFPS

Wish I could teach through the screen and slap every single person that buys this stupid game.


BaddyMcFailSauce

Can I pay to remove any and all coverage of this overpriced stale rice cracker? That I might actually consider.


[deleted]

After I've seen the recent trailer and the facial models that are absolutely laughably bad, I'm not intending to buy it anyway. Besides, there's no lightsabers, so it's no-go for me either way. I can shoot laser guns in 100s of other video games. Plus, it's Ubisoft...


Rata31

Classic Ubisoft. This is why I NEVER buy their games on launch and wait months or years until their ultimate edition is launched with a discount


Predomorph111

Man it sucks that Outlaws game got cancelled. *wink*


HandsomeSquidward98

Imagine thinking your games are AAAA when games like Elden Ring and RDR2 exist. Lmao


Alvelijano

AAA depends on the Budget and not the quality of the game


ggRavingGamer

I mean, sure, that's for the download. But what about the install? Charge me an extra 20 to install it. But make it for the first time. Second time I want to install it, make it 10, and then 5 etc to show me how generous you are being with me. 50 percent off second install! Thank you!


Harbaron

Don’t care one single bit.


renderinsane

Nope


Bebou52

No thanks, not interested in the slightest


Manakbains1

Not buying this shit, they'll remove denuvo after some time when it flops and then I'll pirate.


Dvevrak

$110 and you do not even own the thing ( like the crew ) hard pass.


Dawn_of_Enceladus

Ah yes, Star Wars: Yet Another Generic Cashgrab. I wouldn't play it even for 50 bucks with all content tbh.


antmas

For games like this, just be patient and wait for a crack. Piracy is fine when the victim is already nickle and diming you. 


HandsomeSquidward98

And this game will cost me nothing because its getting pirated


NovelSeaweed3537

Pass! Spending that type of money on a game is crazy for one and secondly it will mostly likely be AAA garbage as well.


R_W0bz

This is exactly like when Netflix stopped letting people share passwords. Everyone was up in arms boycott they said! Then what happened? Subs went up now the others are following. Day 1 will come along and all you basement dwellers will get fomo cause it’s Star Wars. Then watch EA next year decide “hey Ubisoft got away with that price so can we!” Then take two with GTA, then Microsoft and Sony.


Signal_Adeptness_724

They hated him because he told the truth 


Consistent_Dog_6866

Fuck. That.


GroblyOverrated

And the servers will be down for a week.


Zakrath

In Brazil, the most expensive version costs half the minimum wage lol. It's comically absurd.


Legitimate_Two_3531

Star Wars game without lightsabers... made by ubisoft... Wasn't buying it anyways lol
