Ubisoft, a company once known for their games, have published a remake of one of their better titles, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and again, poop hit the ventilation device. And yes, for the obvious reasons.
While Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was well received for updating the graphics and improving a bit some aspects of the game, there was one important change made that made the crowd go mild. Yup, microtransactions again. But no, I’m not gonna waste my time complaining that they are present in the title, I mean if no one would pay for them, Ubisoft would stop putting them into everything they touch. That bit is very much on the players, not the publishers.
But there is one type of DLCs that did draw a lot of attention lately - time savers and map packs. And they are exactly what you think they are, the ways to avoid the grind in the game. Yes, but few dollars, you can buy a magic button that removes the obstacles that were put there by some evil gremlins just to annoy you and to waste your time. Thank god, Ubisoft caught up with those gremlins and prepared a pack that will help you fight those nasty obstacles. Or something like that.
I could say this is the new low for Ubisoft, but who are we kidding? Ubisoft is a company with a long tradition of sinking lower than anyone would expect them to, this is just a tiny bump on their road to the bright future. And the sad thing is, some people will still buy those time savers, which will close the loop and create the bright future for the players. Or something like that.
