      Yeah, I feel like most Ubisoft games get a discount within at least a month of release.

    It’s actually the Ubisoft way.

    Far cry 6 dropped to $30 pretty quickly too. All of their games do. Hell, wait a year and watch it drop to under $20.

    You have to be someone special to buy anything Ubisoft on Day 1, with their draconian DRM, their always on BS, their many many problematic statements and very anti-gamer behavior.

      Except South Park Fractured but whole. The damn thing is 7 years old and still 59,99€. I refuse to buy it, even on sale, until they reduce the base price.

    Interesting considering “record engagement.” I can’t imagine that was just a lie, was it?

      It has an 8 hour free trial on pc so i imagine a ton of people tried it out. Engagement doesn’t have to equal enjoyment after all

        On point, it had a demo free to play before release and alot of people tried it out. Problem is it only has 8hrs worth of content.

      Maybe it was record low if they didn’t specify which kind of record.

      My interpretation is that it sold poorly, but that among the people who did buy it it’s got high retention.

    Right before it launched I started seeing a ads for the game featuring Michelle Rodriguez. As soon as it launched the ads kept running but Rodriguez had been cut out of them. Someone must have given her management a heads up and they pulled the plug on that shit.

    The game loop is god awful. I played through the demo and loved it right until the game loop restarted and I immediately noped out, uninstalled and let my friends know I wouldnt be playing unless it hit the serious discount bin.

    It is half a AAA game sadly, so much promise. A AAA Sea of Thieves would have been amazing
