    I was excited for Far Cry 4 until I read this.......


    Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but after reading
    this article
    I'm kind of annoyed. Basically they want to add more multiplayer so they can have more micro-transactions. I mean it's ok to want to make money, but don't say it when it will annoy people.

    Your man goes on to say what I want to hear followed by nonsense.

    The good: "We are working on launching games that will be played for a longer time," Guillemot said.
    Sounds good so far.

    The bad:
    This will allow us to do more DLC [and] item-based sales in those games."

    Ubisoft CFO Alain Martinez explained that this is no easy task, but said some publishers (without naming names) have already been able to do so successfully.

    "We are moving to make games that are extended over longer periods, so in those games, we not only want to sell more [units], but we want to sell more items, more content," Martinez said. "That's one of the challenges of course,
    but that's what we're seeing some other players have successfully done."
    In my opinion this is kind of put me off.

    So what do you guys think? Do you think the sp will suffer a bit? Are they going to concentrate on MP more to make it better for us or just to try and sell items? Doesn't seem like they give a toss about making it better especially since there is no
    mention of it. Only talks about selling more.

    :)

    Where have you've been this has been known that more and more games will go MP game only because the Industry spend too much money on story line games thus the push for all multiplayer based games which will cut there profits down due to the loss of thousands
    of gamers who do not like only MP based games. The industry is and have been in trouble for a few years now. I am not surprised, shock, worry all games at least once in their gamer lives need to hang up their controller, and that time is coming soon. I refused
    to play Titanfall for this same reason why, MP base games breed cheaters, modders, hackers which takes away from the fun of the play. There is no fun when you play knowing others are getting away with murder. within the next few years this industry will end
    or will change not in the gamer favor.

    Well I know they think it, but to come out so blatantly and say it is shocking. They could at least try to spin it better like "we want to focus more on MP so the player has a better experience in the game world. We hope to sell more items that will enhance
    their gameplay"

    Not, we want to sell more items because other devs do it.

    People look at COD and the killing Activision are making on DLC for Hardened Editions and stand alone DLC and you can't blame them for trying.

    One of the biggest let downs this generation is that there are very few games that are actually selling you the game.

    "Forza 5", "Call Of Duty: Ghosts" and "Battlefield 4" are examples of games that want you to practically pay for the game twice.

    If Bethesda get their way you'll be re-buying the game every 4 months for as long as you own it as they attempt to grab a slice of that billion pound "World of Warcraft" pie.

    Not sure what upsets people so much about micro-transactions and DLC. I mean if the game is free to play I get why the MTs are there. As far as DLC goes you dont have to buy it. I dont and it doesn't ruffle my feathers when DLC is announced pre-release.

    So in short if these things dont get in the way of you playing the game, finishing the game, enjoying the gane then why does it matter? Because you dont like the practice?

    ^^ I guess that the reason they bother me is because they are hacked from the game to sell you separately. Not always though as you can earn said items through gameplay. It's just the whole concept of it grabs me by the short-n-curlys. DLC that comes out
    on day one really irks me. I know I don't have to buy any of it, but still, it's annoying.

  9. Ubisoft games are seldom worth buying nowerdays, they are high up on my avoid list along with EA and 2K games.

    I honestly couldn't care less what they do with MP as long as the campaign has at least as much quality content as Far Cry 3. Though I suspect it will have even more. Ubisoft has been banging out quality titles left and right lately. So unless you're a hipster
    that only plays JRPG's, you should be one happy gamer.

    As far as more games going MP only, God I hope so. Not because I particularly care about MP. In fact, there has only been one multiplayer experience in the history of ever that I genuinely enjoy. I just want the MP crowd to have their own set of games so
    they can stop begging for it in games like Fallout and Resident Evil

    As I said in a different thread, developers aren't so ignorant that they don't realize there is a massive market comprised entirely of people who care absolutely nothing about multiplayer. And if life has taught you anything, it should be that where there
    is money to be made, someone will be there to make it. Single player games aren't going anywhere. Ever. Fact.

    ^^ I know single player games aren't going anywhere, but when they suffer becasue resources are used for MP than it sucks. But, like you said in a different thread, it's like that for MP only games that shoehorn single player campaigns in.

  12. @Swordstyle, I play JRPG because western games have become stale, the same franchises get yearly updates with less content and more bugs, if you are happy with that then fine, I am not, I vote with my wallet, people like me make things better, just ask Microsoft,
    they listened to people like me and completely changed the Xbox One.

    EA, Ubisoft and others will be forced to change too, you'll see...

    ^^ Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you spout nonsense more often than not. Yes Ubisoft has some games that get yearly releases, they are also investing in new IPs. I guess Child of Light, The Division, Watch Dogs, and the war game not about war(I
    forgot the actual name) are stale rehashes that were released last year. Sorry to be the one to tell you this but Ubisoft has released the best games so far this gen.

    @x24hrs2kivex, I actually mentioned why it bothers me in regards to an earlier post you made, but when I tried to edit it, it suddenly said it needed pre-approval.

    Anyway, I agree about Ubisoft. No complaints from me.....yet, other than this Far Cry 4 thread.

    Haha @brandi yeah thats been happening to alot of people. One day I couldn't post for like 3 hours because all of my posts either wouldn't post, needed moderation or they just disappeared into the abyss.

    And after re-reading the OP, I can understand why you'd be upset. But I am for bigger expansions that aren't stupid and silly like what the Watch Dogs season pass provides. Maybe huge content expansions like Diablo 3 has or what WoW does would make DLC
    appealing. Like Wilko said vote with your wallet. Thats the best option you have.
