Yeah Ubisoft is a worthless fucking company.

“Star Wars “fans” are the worst. We should just be thankful we have any new Star Wars at all. I often gaze into the depthless greed of this soulless capitalism and say: Yes Daddy please. You should too”
“Star Wars has always been stupid” is the go-to when you say anything critical about Disney Star Wars, yet they froth at the mouth at The Last Jedi over how “dark” and “mature” it is.
The dialogue in the trailer was terrible. It was the worst example of people talking like they’re explaining a story and not talking like people who actually are talking.
Yup, Ubisoft gonna Ubisoft.
It’s like getting mad at lions for eating gazelle. Ubisoft gonna fuck over the player base, it’s what comes natural to them
I was done the second we saw the companion gameplay. Wonder how many times you'll send that dumb newt to fetch progression via the level in brand new gameplay....
I'm trying to think of the last Ubisoft game I loved. And the answer might be Far Cry 4.
They have so much potential, but they seem to be the exact definition of the phrase "too big to succeed".
For real. I love female protagonists too but this game just looks so bland. Every character is bleached of personality and visually boring, there’s no grit, no emotional core, just mundane colors and stormtroopers and jilted writing. Also I’m so sorry but the hair for thr main girl looks so so awful
The shitty part is that they’re going to (try) and blame the fact that there’s a female protagonist as the reason it fails. It won’t work, but they’ll still try it.
If that were true, game companies would stop giving their games female protagonists. They're trying to make money. If a female protagonist makes your game fail, then you wouldn't have one.
Meanwhile, indie games with female protagonists, with much more reason to be artistically authentic, often do very well.
Maybe you can help me out. You said that the female protagonist will be blamed for commercial failure? And my contention, agreeing with you, is that this blame would be misplaced. My point is that if female protagonists led to commercial failure, we wouldn't see them in AAA games because companies are trying to make money.
The season pass thing only makes sense if you were guranteed new missions every 3 months for the next 2 or 3 years. This shit from the start is pathetic and anyone defending it are just being obtuse disney bots.
Exactly. They’re locking an entire mission from the very start behind a paywall. People are already defending this move, saying that it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, since games have been doing season passes for years. They managed to completely miss the point.
The mission was initially going to be available for all at launch, no additional cost, no locking it in a season pass. They’re now locking it behind a paywall because they feel like it. It’s a deliberate move in order to get people to fork over the extra dough.
I’ll never understand the bootlickers that defend these predatory practices. It’s almost as if these simps enjoy being taken advantage of, and want everyone else to get fucked too.
Along with Anthem, Redfall, etc.. They release in a shit state. Resources that were supposed to be building new content end up fixing the game. A few months pass and recurring revenue isn't happening so they cut the team and the content then kill the game.
I'm a single player game only person, too. I don't particularly care about the story. For me it's all about gameplay and setting. What does walling off gameplay and unique locations and characters ever add to the game?
You're absolutely right, too. It fucks up the story and it fucks up the gameplay. We're coming at it from two perspectives and Ubisoft managed to piss us both off.
To be honest, this isn't a "Disney Star Wars" issue so much as it is a "This is the current state of the mainstream games industry as a whole" issue. As soon as I saw the game was being made by Ubisoft, I immediately lost interest.
I’m honestly not surprised that Ubisoft would pull something like this. And yes, while games do season passes, the way they’re doing this is unacceptable. It’s a mission that launches with the game, but is locked behind a paywall that you must spend an extra $40+ just to access it.
Survivor was pretty disappointing. It was fine, but it wasn't as fresh or genuine as Fallen Order.
It's spoiler free, but if your story is designed so you *lose a fight* in a cutscene... Maybe just make it so you don't have to win the fight in gameplay.
It feels like the game industry is fundamentally broken. Nobody can figure out how to make a game on time and under budget - development cycles are getting ridiculously long and half the games are broken turds at the end. To recover the costs, publishers are resorting to desperate live service plays and whaling.
Agreed. As a comparison, Morrowind took about 5 years to develop and it had to be restarted twice and the team wandered off to make Redguard at some point as well. Today, a game development cycle is longer than a doctorate and the result is still a bug-ridden mess where the company is shocked to find that the audience who eagerly anticipated it are not thrilled with tepid shovelware.
I am so tired of everything being wrecked by greed. I just spend my time on older games now, though thanks to EA's buggery the Star Wars ones rarely work properly because they make tinkering a real ball ache.
[This video sums it up pretty well](https://youtu.be/GUOmTLHSlns).
I genuinely have no sympathy for gaming industry layoffs anymore. For all I know anyone who loses their job actively contributed to the bloat that's making games more expensive and less fun.
It doesn't take four hundred people and a quarter of a billion dollars to make a video game.
One of my favourite bonuses of all time was the fully playable Green Goblin in Spider-man The movie 2002, all the same levels but an alternate story with his own dialogue and all you had to was ~~exploit a cheat code trick~~ beat the game on hard or higher.
That just wouldn't happen with games now.
No. They still put out partial upgrades in the PS2 era like MGS 3 Subsistence and Capcom was notorious for releasing new Street Fighter games with roster updates and mild balance changes.
But the excuse back then was that there wasn't a download infrastructure to update the games for no charge. The actual physical product had to change, and you could own the previous release.
These practices aren't new, but they aren't good.
I want to be able to have an informed opinion on it, but I don't want to buy it. Will it come out on disc? I might be able to break down what is actually wrong with it instead of just shitting on it from the sidelines.
That price has to be an experiment, right? To see what they can get away with. They would have to double the content of the base game to make it worth it. If I were interested in the game I would just watch the Jabba cutscenes on Youtube instead of paying 60 euro extra.
The same people who need to buy every Star Wars funko pop and own 15 different Grogu T shirts will have no problem buying a shitty season pass for a shitty game. That’s Disneys target audience at this point haha
Is this supposed to be a “galaxy” anymore? Y’know with like thousands and thousands of planets? For the main films I get but the expanded media constantly going back to the same shit over and over and over and over again is stupid as hell.
They’re milking the OT era because they know the ST is an utter failure. They’re hitting us over the head with the Member Berries.
‘Member Tatooine? Oh, I ‘memba!
‘Member Han Solo in carbonite? I ‘memba that!
‘Member Jabba the Hutt? Oh, I ‘memba that!
Why did Ubisoft have to make a fucking SW game dude I fucking hate this company. Let Larian Studios make a star wars game and watch the money roll in you dumb fucks
I read through the comments on that post and it saddens me that people are in there saying that this is acceptable and to basically just “deal with it.” This is why game developers get away with this. Just mindlessly consuming without question.
Everything about this game screams run. Not that I buy Ubisoft games anyway but this will give Suicide Squad a run for it's money as worst game of the year.
Holy shit I get it's Ubi but why does every fucking game have to have battlepasses and seasons and time limited events and bullshit locked away behind other bullshit
Imagine an open world Star Wars game in the mold of Hogwarts Legacy, with a custom character (heck, a wide choice of alien species to play as too) but you’re a new recruit in Luke and Mara’s new Jedi order? The missed opportunities
I know the Jedi academy games exist but one with todays advancements would’ve been legendary
Couldn’t care less tbh. It’s not that I think it’s a bad game - I’m just not that excited. If it turns out to be good I have no problem with buying the game and the season pass.
It's way beyond predatory game design at this point. Day 1 DLC for a single player game is as scummy as it gets. They might as well just make it a full-on gacha game.
Not surprising. Ubisoft wouldn't keep doing this if it wasn't profitable though. I don't blame Ubisoft for being a scum company I blame the r3tards that keep spending money on these dogshit games.
Imagine being excited for a Noobisoft game in the holy year of our lord 2024...
Truly amazing that the execs think this is a good idea. It’s like they watched EA fail at marketing a lot of their Star Wars games and said, “I could do worse”
I haven't bought any of the games since Disney took over. Aside from the Jedi series, I hear nothing but negative reviews about their approved games. I'll wait and see what kind of unfinished, buggy piece of crap this game turns out to be before I even consider this game.
Really. The thing that was the big highlight of the most recent trailer is paywalled—-
the fuck?!
So reasons not to buy
1, automatic season pass
2. 3 dlc packs that are just skins
3. $130-$190 ultimate edition
4. The paywalled mission
5..) Ubisofts latest 3 big games have been misses-just okay.
Lol
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Disney is still racist. In a universe with thousands of species, they still think inclusivity is playing as a human female. Inclusivity would the ability to play as a female alien. Game after game of playing as a human it doesn't even occur to them to not be Xenophobic with star wars and let you play as Quarian or some shit.
Pre-judging a game before it even comes out because it is apparantly "over-priced" is wild. Every big game costs 70$ these days. Thats a given. It sucks, I know, but dont pretend like this game is the only one.
No one complained when RD2 had content locked behind a paywall. Face it.
It's one Jabba mission out of likely dozens. Relax.
And you missed the point. Matter of fact, the point did a home run over your head. Does it need to be drawn out in crayon for you to understand? Or did you eat the crayons too?
Did you think I was talking to you or something? I never insinuated that. I was talking to a pretty specific people group that happens to have clogged this comment section.
Watch, this game is going to the bargain bin by the end of the year with price cuts and discounts on all the major digital stores like Steam because no one's going to buy it. Screw Ubisoft...
This happens constantly, so it's not really news or a shock. The title of the article is so click-baity - duh, missions are part of DLC, as is other content. It's not unusual or anything of the sort.
I know people rage on this stuff - and some of it (the loot boxes, etc.) is terrible. However, in this case - they are offering more content for a higher cost. I really can't begrudge them offering additional content for a price, because people absurdly demand that video games stay the same price for 30 years, even though they cost much more to develop now than ever. If the cost of games had kept up just with inflation alone, we'd be spending $150/pop - at least this way, people have a choice.
ALL THAT SAID - it's Ubisoft, this game will be 1/2 price in a month or two after release. It doesn't look like anything one needs to rush out for, it will be available at a much more reasonable price before people likely even finish playing it all the way through.
It is not *additional* content. It is content they deliberately carved out of the main game to sell separately, after advertising it as part of the main game in the main game's trailer. So I absolutely begrudge them it, and I begrudge the insistence on pretending that for some reason the economies of scale don't apply to video games. The base price (which is no longer a 'full game') hasn't massively inflated over the years, true, but the audience sure has and the cost of distribution has collapsed. You don't get to sell something to ten times as many people and pretend that you're some kind of saint for not raising the price when they're almost all getting digital copies.

How dare you not be excited for more Star Wars! All Star Wars is Good Star Wars! /s
Stop questioning the product, just consume product, then get excited for more product
No one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans!
“Star Wars “fans” are the worst. We should just be thankful we have any new Star Wars at all. I often gaze into the depthless greed of this soulless capitalism and say: Yes Daddy please. You should too”
Except when Star Wars is meant to be stupid and you’re stupid too if you take it seriously.

They seem to be doing that for many games lately
Anything but taking responsibility for shitty business practices
If that were true, game companies would stop giving their games female protagonists. They're trying to make money. If a female protagonist makes your game fail, then you wouldn't have one. Meanwhile, indie games with female protagonists, with much more reason to be artistically authentic, often do very well.
Im not sure if you misunderstood what I wrote but that has nothing to do with what I said

My point is that if female protagonists led to commercial failure, we wouldn't see them in AAA games because companies are trying to make money.
Ah, belay my last that was my fault. Apologies.
I don't think I was as clear as I could've been in my original comment, it's all good.
Yup that's the playbook. Hide behind your cast to avoid any criticism. And the worst part is the defenders actually fall for it. Absolute morons.
But but games have always had season passes! It’s nothing new! /s

They think it proves their Good Person *bona fides* by not being 'toxic' (i.e. critical). Only the Bad People criticize things.
Basically, classic case if toxic positivity.
I don't even want new missions every 3 months for the next 2 or 3 years. I just want to play the game, finish it, and then go play another game.
That'll be $130, please!
About 85% of live service games fail to deliver on their roadmaps and season passes.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the prime example of this
Along with Anthem, Redfall, etc.. They release in a shit state. Resources that were supposed to be building new content end up fixing the game. A few months pass and recurring revenue isn't happening so they cut the team and the content then kill the game.
It's a single player game. I'm there for the story. What do these new missions ever add for the main line story?
I'm a single player game only person, too. I don't particularly care about the story. For me it's all about gameplay and setting. What does walling off gameplay and unique locations and characters ever add to the game? You're absolutely right, too. It fucks up the story and it fucks up the gameplay. We're coming at it from two perspectives and Ubisoft managed to piss us both off.
Disney bots defend a lot but this is Ubisoft and I think that a lot of Ubisoft supporters have lost hope for them long ago
How am I supposed to find out what happens to Jabba the Hutt?
By tuning in to the new prequel series I'm sure they'll announce one of these days.
“oh Fuck Off!” - Logan Roy
It's very fitting for the current state of the brand.
To be honest, this isn't a "Disney Star Wars" issue so much as it is a "This is the current state of the mainstream games industry as a whole" issue. As soon as I saw the game was being made by Ubisoft, I immediately lost interest.
Any games that I don't get the full game without buying some additional bullshit I don't buy
They are selling a single player game with DAY ONE DLC that you have to pay extra for. This company doesn't deserve a single cent.
This! What kind of single player game has a season pass?!
Many do but usually years after
Disgusting.
I’m honestly not surprised that Ubisoft would pull something like this. And yes, while games do season passes, the way they’re doing this is unacceptable. It’s a mission that launches with the game, but is locked behind a paywall that you must spend an extra $40+ just to access it.
And they put it in the damn trailer too!
That's got to be one of the worst offenses. If it's in the main trailer, it should be part of the main base game.
Oh. I'm never playing this game. Fuck that
Shameless cash grab. I'm fine skipping this game.
Ubisoft gonna Ubisoft. We can't have star wars games without controversy anymore, Fallen Order was a miracle
Survivor was pretty disappointing. It was fine, but it wasn't as fresh or genuine as Fallen Order. It's spoiler free, but if your story is designed so you *lose a fight* in a cutscene... Maybe just make it so you don't have to win the fight in gameplay.

But if I don't get Jabba, why would I clap?
Because Qira shows up! 'Member Qira???
Didn't Qira kind of forget about the Iron Fleet?
I do remember Qira! Emilia Clarke is very pretty.
Remember when you paid for a complete game and all the levels where available, good times
One of my favourite bonuses of all time was the fully playable Green Goblin in Spider-man The movie 2002, all the same levels but an alternate story with his own dialogue and all you had to was ~~exploit a cheat code trick~~ beat the game on hard or higher. That just wouldn't happen with games now.

Time to reinstall Jedi Outcast, KotOR 2, and X-Wing Alliance.
Scrub shit... I'ma play Star Wars: Rebel Assault on windows 98.
Do not play this game, do not support this company.
^
I want to be able to have an informed opinion on it, but I don't want to buy it. Will it come out on disc? I might be able to break down what is actually wrong with it instead of just shitting on it from the sidelines.
No.
That price has to be an experiment, right? To see what they can get away with. They would have to double the content of the base game to make it worth it. If I were interested in the game I would just watch the Jabba cutscenes on Youtube instead of paying 60 euro extra.
Ubi completed that experiment years ago and know that they can rake fans over the coals.
An IP has never been more mismanaged
Marvel is trying really hard to match but yeah, true
Marvel had more good will. Disney almost instantly tanked SW.
Very true, after 2018 it was nothing but downhill but before that, they were doing damn good
This is why I mostly play indie games
The same people who need to buy every Star Wars funko pop and own 15 different Grogu T shirts will have no problem buying a shitty season pass for a shitty game. That’s Disneys target audience at this point haha
Aaaaaand..... I'm no longer interested in playing it.
I play the same games now and half are free. Like 10-15 years ago, it went from being bonus content to being a shake down
What is everyone complaining about the ultimate edition is only.........ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS for one fucking game ubisoft you bastards.
That's a great picture of the player character. Excellent lighting.
Not nearly as bad looking as they say.
Then why tf was it in the reveal trailer.
Ok not buying the game because of this.
Is this supposed to be a “galaxy” anymore? Y’know with like thousands and thousands of planets? For the main films I get but the expanded media constantly going back to the same shit over and over and over and over again is stupid as hell.
They’re milking the OT era because they know the ST is an utter failure. They’re hitting us over the head with the Member Berries. ‘Member Tatooine? Oh, I ‘memba! ‘Member Han Solo in carbonite? I ‘memba that! ‘Member Jabba the Hutt? Oh, I ‘memba that!
Don't worry guys, it'll be 70% off in a year lol
read it when IGN posted it and I was not surprised at all lmao.
Ubislop moment Anyone who pays for this shit deserves it
Heh, they call him Jabba the Hunt in the article.
Why did Ubisoft have to make a fucking SW game dude I fucking hate this company. Let Larian Studios make a star wars game and watch the money roll in you dumb fucks
I mean selling an edition for 130$ says it all.
I read through the comments on that post and it saddens me that people are in there saying that this is acceptable and to basically just “deal with it.” This is why game developers get away with this. Just mindlessly consuming without question.
Skip this game and play helldivers instead
I’m from Alderaan, and I say kill them all!
I'm gonna go replay star wars bounty hunter
Damn good game, getting to tie up enemies and set them on fire
Everything about this game screams run. Not that I buy Ubisoft games anyway but this will give Suicide Squad a run for it's money as worst game of the year.
They just Street Fighter X Tekken ‘d
I can’t consider any of this shit as canon anyway. I give up.
Don't feed corporate greed. Wait a year, then buy the GOTY version with all the content and bug fixes for half the price.
Holy shit I get it's Ubi but why does every fucking game have to have battlepasses and seasons and time limited events and bullshit locked away behind other bullshit
i think all Disney SW content should be pirated at least the first time, if you somehow then love that piece of media then you purchase it
Who cares nobody is buying this shit.
Fuck the majority of the AAA industry gaming industry
Imagine an open world Star Wars game in the mold of Hogwarts Legacy, with a custom character (heck, a wide choice of alien species to play as too) but you’re a new recruit in Luke and Mara’s new Jedi order? The missed opportunities I know the Jedi academy games exist but one with todays advancements would’ve been legendary
Couldn’t care less tbh. It’s not that I think it’s a bad game - I’m just not that excited. If it turns out to be good I have no problem with buying the game and the season pass.
AAA gonna AAA
It's way beyond predatory game design at this point. Day 1 DLC for a single player game is as scummy as it gets. They might as well just make it a full-on gacha game.
Don't really care at this point . More then likely will not play this unless it comes to game pass.
Lol I knew this game was gonna be cooked from the start
Ubisoft doing Ubisoft things.
I listened to the trailer. I can't get into a hesitant/reluctant rogue. The character doesn't sound like it belongs in the criminal underworld
Not surprising. Ubisoft wouldn't keep doing this if it wasn't profitable though. I don't blame Ubisoft for being a scum company I blame the r3tards that keep spending money on these dogshit games. Imagine being excited for a Noobisoft game in the holy year of our lord 2024...
Everyone was clamoring for EA to lose the IP and now we lost battlefront 2 to this :) thanks Star Wars fandom!
Don't care. Not gonna buy. Ubisoft.
This season pass bs needs to end.
this is the current state of gaming
Since I haven't liked a single Ubisoft game since Assassin's Creed IV : Black Flag way back in 2013, hard pass for me.
dang, now i aint buying it
Truly amazing that the execs think this is a good idea. It’s like they watched EA fail at marketing a lot of their Star Wars games and said, “I could do worse”
Par for the course. It’s Ubisoft.
I haven't bought any of the games since Disney took over. Aside from the Jedi series, I hear nothing but negative reviews about their approved games. I'll wait and see what kind of unfinished, buggy piece of crap this game turns out to be before I even consider this game.
Really. The thing that was the big highlight of the most recent trailer is paywalled—- the fuck?! So reasons not to buy 1, automatic season pass 2. 3 dlc packs that are just skins 3. $130-$190 ultimate edition 4. The paywalled mission 5..) Ubisofts latest 3 big games have been misses-just okay. Lol
Even before seeing this I thought the extended trailer looked kinda bland.
I’m gonna go play Sekiro again with a lightsaber mod
Thinking some skins and A single mission is worth another 60 dollars is insane. *In a single player game.*
Wasn't a post related to Battlefront's loot boxes the most downvoted post/comment in the history of reddit?
Dont give these people your money or attention. They dont care and probably dont even like you
What I find really scummy is how Jabba is advertised in the latest story trailer for him to finaly be in a DLC. Feels a lot like false advertising.
I’ll just wait a year or 2 and it’ll be 10 bucks
Did anyone expect better from Ubisoft? Star Wars or not, this one's shaping up to be a typical AAA (though not quite Quadruple A) dumpster fire.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Disney is still racist. In a universe with thousands of species, they still think inclusivity is playing as a human female. Inclusivity would the ability to play as a female alien. Game after game of playing as a human it doesn't even occur to them to not be Xenophobic with star wars and let you play as Quarian or some shit.
There better be some depraved shit going on on Nar Shadaa for those extra bucks.
Fuck Ubisoft
Not buying it so won’t comment on it.
Doesn’t matter to me. I’m passing on the game anyways, or will buy it in 5 years when I can get everything for $20.
The last Ubisoft titles made me SO not interested in this game.
Pre-judging a game before it even comes out because it is apparantly "over-priced" is wild. Every big game costs 70$ these days. Thats a given. It sucks, I know, but dont pretend like this game is the only one. No one complained when RD2 had content locked behind a paywall. Face it. It's one Jabba mission out of likely dozens. Relax.
And you missed the point. Matter of fact, the point did a home run over your head. Does it need to be drawn out in crayon for you to understand? Or did you eat the crayons too?
Did you think I was talking to you or something? I never insinuated that. I was talking to a pretty specific people group that happens to have clogged this comment section.
Watch, this game is going to the bargain bin by the end of the year with price cuts and discounts on all the major digital stores like Steam because no one's going to buy it. Screw Ubisoft...
This happens constantly, so it's not really news or a shock. The title of the article is so click-baity - duh, missions are part of DLC, as is other content. It's not unusual or anything of the sort. I know people rage on this stuff - and some of it (the loot boxes, etc.) is terrible. However, in this case - they are offering more content for a higher cost. I really can't begrudge them offering additional content for a price, because people absurdly demand that video games stay the same price for 30 years, even though they cost much more to develop now than ever. If the cost of games had kept up just with inflation alone, we'd be spending $150/pop - at least this way, people have a choice. ALL THAT SAID - it's Ubisoft, this game will be 1/2 price in a month or two after release. It doesn't look like anything one needs to rush out for, it will be available at a much more reasonable price before people likely even finish playing it all the way through.
It is not *additional* content. It is content they deliberately carved out of the main game to sell separately, after advertising it as part of the main game in the main game's trailer. So I absolutely begrudge them it, and I begrudge the insistence on pretending that for some reason the economies of scale don't apply to video games. The base price (which is no longer a 'full game') hasn't massively inflated over the years, true, but the audience sure has and the cost of distribution has collapsed. You don't get to sell something to ten times as many people and pretend that you're some kind of saint for not raising the price when they're almost all getting digital copies.
