It’s P2W. There’s absolutely no way their grind example is actually achievable by a casual player.

This is literally p2w
"There are no pay-to-win mechanics - Any gameplay impacting content that is purchasable is also unlockable through challenges to ensure fair play amongst our community."
They should fire their marketing people.
- In the long run, yes. Once everything is unlocked, it is fair game. Until this happens tho, then of course it is P2W.
  Maybe unranked does not have to be balanced, but ranked totally should be - all mechanics unlocked.

Not interested.

Ubisoft Connect, no thanks.
- I don't get the "launcher hate". Yes, they're not the most convenient, but I'm not playing in the launcher for hours.
  Currently I play moddedDragon Age Inquisition. The launch sequence is:
  Frosty Fix -> Frosty Manager -> Epic Games -> EA App -> Dragon Age.
  Takes a few seconds and I'm in the game.

Ubisoft? You mean the publisher that housed, promoted and protected sex offenders?

That sounds like every AAA publisher.
- True, but Ubisoft got caught, vowed to better itself and refused to do so. It's rotten from the very core.
I'm sorry, I missed this. Reputable link please?
I don't need more reasons to boycott Ubi, but more gas for the fire.
- It's on their wiki page.
- I think it was a creator of Rayman.
  Which is a damm shame beacuse its one of the few ubi games i really liked.

Non-P2W

Yet.

There is already one Assault Rifle locked behind the premium battlepass that they are advertising.
- Ah fuck of course they went the COD way
Foreshadowing? What have you done you've cursed it
- It has Ubisoft's name on it, its fate was predetermined.

But is it any good?

Fantastic if its your kind of game. Very well made and clear the devs know the type of product they're putting out. Has its niggling initial release issues like every game but all have been acknowledged and are supposedly worked on. Also has a very vocal director who is communicating a lot with fans about what the direction is.
- It's why Ubisoft baffles and aggravates me.
  They clearly have wonderful game devs and designers working for them. A lot of their games have some really neat mechanics that are fun to play with.
  But then they fuck it all up by monetizing it all to shit, or padding the game with so much useless bullshit it becomes a chore to play, or fucking up the pacing of the story with the sheer amount of useless side quests.
  I'll freely admit - I enjoy playing their open world collect-a-thon games. But I have to play it in parts, because it just gets too grating. And of course I only buy their games when they're already a few years old, so I can take advantage of sales. No way I'm paying €120 for a game, even with all the spinning rims and fancy baubles.
- I think fantastic is overstating it a bit. It feels like a middle of the road CoD. Kind of a boots on the ground version of one of the hero shooter Black Ops entries with a little roughness to it.
  Not bad but not great either. For the price though, it's great value.
I've heard it's good much better than cod
- Is that even a high bar?
- So we're talking as good as herring? Maybe even salmon? 😛
  Sorry, as a Scandinavian, I was legally obliged to..
- Which game are we talking about here?
- I assume this is a joke? Otherwise what is the game called so I can look?

lol the class you unlock with 700000 exp, which takes a long time to get as f2p player, is OP and can be unlocled with real money

It's a trap. Just wait for it.

What game? I'm OOTL

They will release OP squads that will either require grinding or pay. DedSec is kind of trash tier because it is a test

Edit: apparently there is already exclusive weapons in paid battlepass

Every now and then the big companies get confused and do something good.

Somehow people always forget that Ubisoft published Trackmania (2020). (Limited) F2p, one time purchase for Standard access, yearly sub for club access, which is isn't even worth it if your not a dedicated player.

They changed the sub model
It's now an unique 20e/year price with everything included. 0 in app purchase. Ubisoft may have published it but I think Nadeo also put some pressure to have those restrictions. They have always been very consumer friendly

I played a little bit of this game,but I uninstalled it because of Battleye

Can anyone here name many P2W games? The closest I can think of is hero-based games like R6Siege, where it’s relatively cheap to get the new, generally-balanced characters, but most monetization is in skins.

Literally any mobile game. Outside of that, you have your eastern gring MMOs like Black desert or Lost Ark, Fifa with it's ultimate team, and the general pay for skipping the western market has fallen into like you have on the newer Assassin's Creed games.
Hearthstone
Pretty much the entire 4X mobile market, sadly.
