Can I pay them 90 for that? It definitely deserves it.
Does it have microtransactions? I'd really like to spend more on the game since I have free cash to spend (my new landlord doesn't accept tips 😭)
Have I got a deal for you. Not only can you spend $90 right now we'll give you the opportunity to spend $90 more each and every month.
Spend more save more as they say.
People make fun of this, but AAA hasn’t been an indicator for the quality for a while, but rather the budget. Given Ubisoft worked on this for 10 years, I imagine it’s gotten stupidly expensive even for them. So, the term seems appropriate to use. We can of course still criticize that with that kind of budget, this is the best they could release to players after 10 years.
People also forget that this was mentioned to investors and not real gamers.
I know it's against the meta, but I actually like this game. Get it at a decent price point (got it for 38€) and if the gameplay clicks with you, you will have quiet a fun game. No GOTY participant but surely a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 which in my world is still a good game and not a 'weak' one.
Oddly it reminds me a lot of Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you humm to the shanties, you upgrade your gear and ship and sometimes you do all of that together with other players. I don't care for the hand to hand combat or the land gameplay of Blackflag cause these were actually the things I liked the less, and to be honest I also would not need the land gameplay in Skull and Bones since the real character of the game is your ship.
