It’s been over a week since the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and there has been a lot of negativity surrounding the game. Ubisoft decided to offer some of the most overpriced special editions for a game I’ve ever seen, and it’s incredibly frustrating to me because I would like to be excited for the game, but Ubisoft always has to make some anti-consumer business decision that kills my motivation to talk about the game. When will this company stop hurting their own reputation, with these absurd business practices?

Yeah paying extra 20 for the ultimate edition, for some extra customization and skill points? That's silly, don't do that. But the Gold edition, with the season pass? If you know you gonna like this game (wait for gameplay first), the it's probably worth it. The post release DLCs that it adds are in my experience good content, quality can be subjective, but size is objectively good.
But still, have to see gameplay first, before preordering anything.
Personally I'm not preordering anything anymore tho. Burned myself a few times, not doing it anymore.
And the 3 days early access? The game comes out on nov 15th. I checked, that's a friday. You can start playing that afternoon, and the whole weekend. Early access is available on tuesday, but to me, as an adult, working man, I probably wouldn't have much time to check it out properly. But it will be enough for independent game reviewers to give their honest thoughts before release. So thanks, everyone, who does that.
Normally, I would agree with people on the outrageous prices of the assassin's creed shadows gold,ultimate and collectors editions, but i never heard of anyone complaining about the gold,ultimate and pantheon editions of assassin's creed odyssey:
1. Assassin's creed odyssey gold edition price: $109.99 plus tax.
2. Assassin's creed odyssey ultimate edition price: $119.99 plus tax.
3. Assassin's creed odyssey the pantheon edition price: $219.99 plus tax.
Its only because i never heard of anyone complaining about those prices leads me to believe that the "ubisoft has gone woke because they decided to include an actual person from the time period for assassin's creed shadows" problem is no longer working for certain people so now they want to make up being angry for the prices of the other versions of assassin's creed shadows and not speak out when it was more of a problem back in 2018. As for me, I'm excited for assassin's creed shadows, and i don't "need to buy a more expensive edition just to play it." It's getting tiresome, and for the people who are true assassin's creed fans,including me, have already pre-ordered this game last week and have no complaints about the direction that the assassin's creed series has taken.
GOOOD JOB FOR USING GHOST OF TSUSHIMA OST FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC
The best thing about Ubisoft is they release new games every year or two. Look at other medieval games like dragon age, dogma, elder scrolls, Witcher. They take decades, I can’t wait that long for a sequel
Dont buy new AC
The games 130 clams in USD too. I think it’s like 140 or 150 dollars here in Australia which is just bonkers. And yeah, the standard is 70 bucks, but the point still stands
I have a feeling this game is going to be more samurai’s creed than assassins creed
It seems the only game I will be playing is the waiting game 🤣
I subbed, plzzzzz talk about this game more! I have hope not high hopes but hope that I’ll enjoy this game even if it is just free roaming japan😅
As far i`m concered Ubi was the one who started the “play the game 3 days earrly “ with Oddesey.
Feminism Destroyed Ubisoft 😢
They would never do this stuff if it hadnt worked in the past. We are at fault…
I don't think the dislikes are because of the pricing..
Those prices are messed up but i will buy this game and play it. At least i know i had fun playing Vallhala and Odyssey (after i convinced myself that those are RPGs and not AC games) so this will be my strat in shadows. Maybe it´ll be an AC game with assassins, the Brotherhood and Templars, ISU history and an artefact and hopefully Desonds story will finally grogress bcs all we know he is just serching this data tree in Vallhala. Somehow nobody talks about him and the answer he´s searching for from the 3rd game to save the world.

Mirage was a step in the right direction and now we're progressing backwards. Shame 🙁
Ignoring the racism, we cannot promote such a shitty developer. They're sexist, they insult gamers and tell us we should get used to no longer owning our games. That's not to mention you have to pay $130 just to pay the game on release. I'm done with this studio. This is the same exact team that made Valhalla and they are a garbage studio.
Good for me, out of the three upcoming ACs – I was more interested in AC Hexe then Red (now Shadows). Since if I wanted a Japanese game, then there was ghosts of Tsushima. I am just hoping that Ubisoft doesn't fucks up Hexe that badly.
all i know we still gonna buy it we still gonna play it
why can’t they just make everything in the store obtainable by playing 😢
greed?? there is a lot of people working on production of theese games and like everyone else they need to get paid, what do you all want, games for free? its just the market, you have to pay your employees, dont like it dont buy it and shut up, or keep complaining and be anoying to those who are actually excited for the game, i personally bought ultimate edition, not because i am rich but to spite all the haters and help push those sales numbers, because what sends better message than making the game succesfull after it gets a lot of hate (honestly its Hogwarts Legacy all over again)
Yeah this game might sell well but not as well as it could have. Im not interested in playing as a gay samurai. They are more worried about checking boxes than they are worried about making a good game .
Just wait a couple of years to buy it fuck ubishit
I dont understand the hate. I mean you dont have to buy anything else than the standard edition and that is with 70 $ a normal price for today. The game is also not comparable to AC Mirage because it is 2 times as big and for that I think 70$ are pretty fair.
Got hyped for the game initially and then saw the prices for the different editions and the hype died
Ubisoft+ subscription is the reason for the high buy price. Its pathetic.
Besie being expensive there is battle pass ,seasonal pass that might end in transactions. More money. Feels more of a cash grab
Try being an NBA 2K fan. We gotta pay 70 dollars for the game itself and then another 50-60 dollars for each player that you make. Granted you don’t have to buy a player but the alternative of not buying a player is spending a solid month grinding the player to a level where you can compete with other players.
I bought Mirage and never even played more than 4 hours of it. I hate the gameplay of AC now, I hate the bland cutscenes, I hate the dialogue, and I hate the pricing. I’m likely to never play another AC game ever because I don’t see the point in it and it’s getting too expensive for me to handle.
Yuske is lgbt and the game is expensive, AC used to be about the creed. Templars Iso now it's just a messy bs with no specific direction

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Day 1 microtransactions for a 70+ dollar singleplayer game? LOL
It will be available on xbox gamepass eventually.
I mean to each their own oppinion the hate on yasuke is dumb though
