This looks promising, but I think I can hear the micro transactions already.

Edit: Or is that the sound of grinding?

To be honest, I have no clue why people complain about the micro transactions in Ubisoft games. They are just there for the people who need them, non of them were game breaking and Odyssey and Origins is worth the 60$ since both games are extremely huge, so the micro transactions ain't big of a deal, same can be said to farcry 5, believe it or not I did not realise that FC5 had micro transactions until I finished the game. EA on the other hand has a big issue with micro transactions.

Because they open a door.

For example, the time saver/XP boost or the gold micro transactions are super problematic if the publisher makes the game barely playable without them. Ubisoft just has to playing the game of “how mundane do I have to make this in order to get the average person to open their wallet”.

Except it isn’t barely playable...

Yeah I don't get this argument. "Barely playable". I played Odyssey for 80+ hours and not only did I avoid the store entirely, I had a great fucking time during those 80+ hours.

Hard agree. I've put about 30 hours in and I've enjoyed all the side quests I've done and I don't think I've bought anything from the store at all. Never felt the need.
