How there are micro transactions in a single player game is beyond me
In any game.
*EXACTLY!*
Oblivion horse armour would like a word with you.
@@FelipeKana1 It's worse in single player games because you don't compete with anybody (or any hackers) so there's no reason to accelerate your skills or get better weapons early.
Mtx In paid game is already fucked up.
Ubisoft’s loggo is litterly a blackhole where all our money gets thrown into
Well yes but ubisoft is atleast better then EA and Rockstar games to be fair
@@X-xMrDx-X-_- not really
Rockstar still makes the best SP open world games and EAs been doing good ever since gamblefront 2 with JFO, NFS heat and Apex legends and also adding all their games back on steam.
Ubisuck still puts shitty micro transactions in all their games with 3-6 special editions and a fucking season pass. Even fucking activision has pushed back on their greedy behaviour and that’s saying something.
@@RaymondStormbl3ssed no
No it's the shit emoji from top perspective
I always buy their games on sale, play the base game, and not spend any money on micro transactions. If I reach a a point where it feels like a time sink or grind, i stop playing and move on (the stories are never good enough i *have* to see it to the end, anyway). If i beat the game, had a lot of fun, and want more content, I might buy a DLC/expansion, but only if it doesn’t appear to be cut content or adds a different dimension or perspective to the game beyond its original design. I think I’ve only done this twice: once was Blood Dragon and once was the AC: Origins Expansion with the boss battles against Egyptian mythological creatures.
You should've mentioned the most recent cash-grab Ubisoft made: Ubisoft released assassin's creed valhalla without microtransactions so the reviewers would praise the game for that move. They waited a couple of weeks until all the big reviews were out to make Valhalla more grindy by tweaking the XP system so it's harder to level up and made the enemies scale to your Level so the game would be more tedious. They then added XP boosters and Time Savers to force the players into purchasing them.
I stopped with Ubisoft. I play their games when they get under 10 euro. Last 2 i played i paid 7euro on steam.
Yeah I can’t remember the last time I played something from Ubisoft
Also, you can't even play the game without an Ubisoft account. WTF?!?!?!
@@TrickOrRetreat stop for longer and buy them at 3-4 euros. That's the best price. Tbh they should be paying us cause we've been playing the same repetitive shit they throw at us
@@A1stardan valid point bro 🤗

What about Activision, realizing the same game for the past 3 years. And the launch is always bad, and you have to buy the newer guns to be in the current meta
@@potato1094 hey I wanna remind you that Bethesda is still a thing.

@@tacoface7047 This is one of the greatest comments I have ever read on this website. I’m sorry it didn’t get the recognition it deserves.
The developers at Ubisoft are extremely talented. Sadly, they are lead by awful directors, smooth brain corporate heads and actual abusers that see customers as idiots. Those devs deserve better.
Preach
Pirate it, just buy games from Indi developers support then instead. Simple.
Nolan Sorrento from Ready Player One.
Thank you!! Put hate on the Heads of developers, not the little guys below them. Hating the guys who are making the game for decisions out of their paygrade is like hating on retail employees for the prices of products and what not.
And remember kids...thats the 10 worst. Not just 10. We give falcon enough beer and he can easily find 100 ubisoft cash grabs

"time savers", on a singleplayer game ?
On PC it has a simple solution : Cheat Engine
@@webbie7503 on the other hand you can install full cheat menus for singleplayer in GTA V. No need to bother with Cheat Engine.

Yeah I use wemod for a cheat engine
I see no issue with cheat engine when you can buy things with money, the only difference is one doesn't arbitrarily take my money.
@@webbie7503 They're called Cheat Table, like plugins for Cheat Engine made by CE community for certain games that have "unfindable value" problem.
"The middle portion of the game was intentionally stretched out to drive players to buy these time savers"
It actually made me just drop the game completely
Same
This is interesting subject. I usually play rpg's the way that I have to do as much of sidequests as I can before continuing with the main mission. So I think this would work for some players like me, but the "timesaver" should still absolutely be free. I in fact usually loose interest in the game after I have done the main story even though there could be lots of content left in side quests. One opposite game mechanic I dislike is in farcry 5. There the game forces you to do the main mission in the sense that if you get rebellion points in some area, you get kidnapped and are forced to continue the main story a little. But yeah this is just an opinion, but I guess that this works for certain gamers
@@mrvinnertrix That's normally how I play them myself, but with that game in particular I just really lost interest in it for some reason
I might try to return to it at some point
I don't play the assassin's Creed games so idk what this is all about. Was it like the old saints row where you had to do side quests to earn XP to do the main quest lines?? Can someone explain it to me or give me cliffnotes??
@@maxbracegirdle9990 I've forgotten nearly everything about this game so bear with me, but I think the issue was that the game not only had a crap ton of quests, but the quests were stretched out to be unnecessarily long with their tasks
They also loved making the player travel from one end of the map to the other
On top of that since the game has a leveling system, unless you found a way to cheese through it, some missions were impossible to do if your level wasn't high enough so you would have to come back later after screwing around and levling up
I remember when one of the older Ghost Recon games got removed from steam merely because it wasn't making Ubisoft money. There was still a huge playerbase for that game, but since it was older and in the same vein of some of their newer games, they just straight up put it down for the sake of moving players to newer games. Idk if it worked, but damn it was scummy, and that was my favorite game at the time.
Edit: it was phantoms.
Why do “premium” games that you buy have micro transactions, you don’t buy the game to pay more money.
Because they don't want some of your money, they want all of them.
just like with consoles and PS plus shit.
Fishy Vagina you can't generalize like that. I've been a "gamer" for as long as I can remember and everything that i have ever bought in a game has been in a f2p game with my own money that I want to support. Then there will be spoiled kids and teens but it's just as much the parents fault as the kid/teen to just throw money on AAA trash.
I've also not bought any AAA games for like 4 years now at least cuz they are all the same just with a kinda new story.
Premium means more things to unlock by buying more things.
i think it's because some people buy it so they do it, who would say no to free money. i personally never payed for micro transaction in a payed game
This is why piracy exists and pirates always gets the ultimate editions
yessir, companies like ubisoft don't deserve a penny anymore
@@cryptiik5700 Speak for yourself. I personally believe they make some of the most amazing games out there. They are in this industry for ages. Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Brothers in Arms, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six, For Honor, The Division, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Rayman. I've been with them from the very beginning and still enjoy the amazing experiences they release. Their open world games are mesmerising! There's nothing like AC Odyssey out there. They get hate for microtransactions and time savers. Sure, I don't agree with those practices. But they never bothered me from enjoying their titles. I never felt like even visiting the store to browse through those things you could spend your pennies on. It's just this mentality of compulsive spending. They are there, sure. But do you have to buy that stuff to enjoy their games? NO! You have a gun, does that mean you can go out and start shooting in the crowd? NO!
@@Alexthelion93 they win you over with the pretty graphics and landscapes. Yes the worlds they make look great but the design of their open worlds are so mundane, their side quests are lazy as hell and most of the world is empty with nothing to do. Take Watch Dogs Legion for example the world looks nice but again its dry and the story is completely forgetful. Underneath all of that facade are scummy and shady practices 24/7, Ubisoft is becoming the new EA year after year. When you pay full price for a game it's full for a reason especially if its single player not "pay us 60 or 80 and we'll lock more than the majority of the content that was supposed to be in it since day one under a pay wall". Yes you aren't forced to pay but they know full well what they are doing. Companies are going to lock more and more content under pay walls the more we allow it to happen. They get loads of profit from it which makes them lazy in creating titles. If you noticed with every single recent Ubi game the structure of them are all the same it's a copy and paste with different genres
@@Alexthelion93 "They get hate for micro transactions and time savers".
BRUH! that is the exact reason why everyone dislikes Ubisoft and the video is about. They create the massive open world but they intentionally code the game such that whatever you grind even for months you won't get your desired level. AC odyssey proved to be horrendous!. The world is massive which means more time you can play you can level up more but no, let setup the level bar such that it could take days to gain next level and force them to buy time server and boost pack. Just try reach level 45 in that game without booster and time saver pack, your ass get fried out and you will get burn out. Not to mention that side quests are boring as hell and it will be a huge let down for gamers which will push them such that, instead of getting immersed in the world you either had to cool your fried ass or continue getting burned up for gaining XP.
About Prince of persia, they got greedy and tend to release VR version which got flopped even before that shit got released. They purposefully not releasing it because, Ubishit have no other way but to make single player compaign. This will lead them to terminate micro transactions for that game and there will be no cash grab. This is the particular reason they are not releasing POP. Instead they tried POP with multi player with VR but thank God! It failed.
Also the Division, Rainbow six siege and other games, yes the world is great and huge and all, but are you satisfied by finishing up the good side quests and some filler contents and leveling up by usual Game mechanics? like witcher 3, GOW 4 rdr2? NOPE! The mechanic itself is obliterated by Ubisoft for cash grab even in Single player game! SINGLE PLAYER GAME?! Microtransactions in SINGLE PLAYER GAME?!
I will whole heartedly pirate these type of games and even when I pirate these games i demand refund! Period.
@@Alexthelion93 I hate Ubisoft because they ruined AC franchise
Thanks for including trials, doesn't get a lot of attention but is actually worse than what you mention in the video. You CAN get the acorns in game to buy the scarab, map packs, other bikes etc. but in order to do that you have to either find squirrels or complete contracts. The squirrels are often ridiculously hidden in tracks and the contracts are EXTREMELY difficult but when the community came together and made a guide for people how to get the easiest acorns ubisoft released a patch that made it even harder, true story. Me n my pops have put in about 300 hours on trials (albeit a lot of hours on user tracks) and we still had to pay $30 to get all map packs and bikes after finding all squirrels and not wanting to do the hardest contracts.
The fact that they keep trying means there's a significant amount of people are actually using these features
Yes there is, and it shouldn't surprise you
@@jackdanila9893 I guess the standards of gaming will continue to fall then.
I'm just surprised there are enough players that keep this cycle going, sure they only need 20% of the gaming population to make these work but I'm curious to know why these people support this.
@@akirusgauge7094 ,I guess they are probably kids or people that like to spend money. I don't get it either
Its a good chance that they're just desperately pushing these practices out trying to normalize them thinking that we'll eventually just accept it as a norm like some typical dumbass consumer... Alot of these are all textbook business practices that look like the company heads got together and planned this bs, thing is this isnt like a regular market, this is gaming, all its gonna lead to is them getting backlashed into oblivion if they keep it up and there's been alot of backlash and pushed limits lately
Yeah, I've never gotten that either. Same thing with Mobile games. If you hate them, don't play them.
I have literally uninstalled some games after I got several annoying click bait ads or was shoved micro transactions.
This reminds me of the EA one, which btw the answer is “all of them”
EA used to make good games (like the Strike games and what is technically the first MOBA ever released, Future Cop: LAPD). Now they just make games that aren’t good because they know people are gonna buy them anyway and they know people are gonna buy microtransactions and “surprise mechanics” .
@@Gamer88334 the NBA games and golfing games used to be fun for everyone now they all are a waste of money E.A and ubisoft have indefinitely fucked all of the sporting games also if you wanna play a good sports game play fucking nba ballers or Mario and sonic at the Olympics
@@Gamer88334 within the last like 7 years pretty much, exceptions are fallen order and squadrons ...which are both star wars games. So im guessing that has something to do with Lucas arts not wanting micros anymore. Maybe because of the battlefront 2 debacle, take that has you will.

You DO NOT a wrack a disaprin 🙏
I never looked at Odyssey as a cash grab when you get to the point where you need a lot of experience to progress. I honestly thought it was them trying to force you to do a bunch of the side missions to gain experience. Which is what I did. I had fun doing all the side missions. I think I bought one time saver boost pack thing and that's just because I bought points for armor and weapons and stuff and just had some left over.

@@GOD__OF__SPEED I see your point lol. Still very much love the game
I would like to add the the "Gryphon" hero in For Honor is the most overpowerd hero in the game, making For Honor a pay to win game.

Lets ignore that you can get him without spending money and hes only the best if your trash
I stopped when they introduced shaman, just totally unfair, they refuse to nerf them, and she has the speed of an assassin, a huge moveset, and super damaging moves effectively making her an assassin with no real weakness, i loved for honor when it was just the original heroes, they added too many too quickly and now they cant balance them
@@theredcinder7437 she... is an assassin. If a huge moveset is a soft feint, dodge attacks, and a bash, then you have a really small expectation, she is also heavily punished for missing her attacka

The EA and Ubisoft arguement for time savers: "Its for those gamers that don't have a lot of time in the day to game."
Umm... no. Its for those gamers who are gullible enough to believe you because you are making a problem, selling the solution, and lying through your toothy smile to make it seem like you are doing us a favor.
From my perspective, when they are in single player games, I don’t see the big deal. You don’t have to buy them, and there’s more than enough content that will let you hit Max level if you play the game normally. Before they updated Odyssey, I hit max level long before I came close to finishing the game. Yes parts of it feel like a grind, but then again the map is freaking huge and the content gets redundant after awhile. I know this repsonse is going to get a lot of backlash 🤷🏻♂️
You won’t get any from me
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Agreed, never paid for Ubisoft MT's. I've always felt they're similarly balanced as most games. I always end up over-leveled and swimming in armor, money, items etc anyway. Ignore the micro-transactions and you'll soon wonder why they were even there in the first place.

This ballsy video is highly appreciated, scummy cash grabs should always be brought to light. If the next 'before you buy' video for a new Ubisoft game is not released immediately after the review embargo, we know what happened.

Hopefully now that they've shifted focus to mobile games they'll remove mtx from their singleplayer area, highly doubt it though
Ubisoft, like EA, has neglected tons of their amazing franchises in favor of the mediocre cash grabs that are Just Dance and Assasin's Creed. For nearly 8 years, Rayman has been kicked to the curb and laid dormant as a franchise. Not a single Rayman game ever since.
I feel like with Odyssey, they were trying to go for a "Axxess" model, where they wanted players who bought used / rental copies to pay more for the game. Which sorta makes sense since used copies of Odyssey are common.
But the reason for that is because people keep selling the game for this very same issue, they don't want to put up with it.
Not to mention, people who paid full price didn't get the booster for free.
I’m so glad you pointed out gryphon, he’s also a pay to win character
Thats tha main reason i stopped playing odyssey,that middle part is just so boring you're basically doing the same shit over and over again
Funny thing about timesavers in Creed is that you could implement all of the options resources/bonus exp with a simple trainer. Felt good to press F1 knowing each time you pushed that key you slapped money out of a greedy exec's hands.
Another thing about #10 is that when we were allowed to make out own custom missions there were some that were auto completing and would just reward xp to get around the grind.
Ubisoft made these levels a bannable offense. So much for "time savers" and player-choice. Only a choice if you have to pay for it.
The way things are going, I’d be honestly surprised if they didn’t send out a cease and desist order on this as “slander”. Gaming industry is so fucked man.

To tell ya a little more about the Gryphon issue, buying him then was to get to play him early, specifically before he'd be available for in-game currency. On steam you could buy him, play him once as long as you played within an hour after purchase, and then the next time you'd log on, he'd be locked again and trying to play him would just take you to the Uplay store page. This issue, if I remember correctly, took almost 2 weeks to fix, rendering the whole point of buying him early.. Pointless!

Awesome vid. Super informative and love the meme stuff.
Love how you showed Destiny when mentioning 3hr cashgrabs are nothing to players now. They're definitely the masters of greed. Ppl laugh at EAgames but Destiny is about a 6hr game without DLC and before it went free, you needed over $100 just to buy the game complete+acquire everything+participate in all raids. Players who didn't quit will continue to shell out $$$ to the machine. Hopefully Outsiders isn't the same but my expectations are VERY low.

The shocking thing is Ubisoft made you pay for the ending yet EA didn't with Mass Effect 3's ending.
Oh I did not realize there were micro-transactions of AC Odyssey ... no wonder it was boring half the time Can they please stop with Micro transactions on single player games .....
Right? Like I got Jedi Fallen Order not long ago and was surprised EA didn’t put micro transactions in there. I should not be surprised about that. It should be STANDARD. If you wanna milk a game more than just the base story, add DLC you have to pay for. I’d be okay with that rather than the bullshit Ubisoft pulls constantly.
@@raylessneptune451 Disney is behind they and are like "if i see 1 fucking micro transaction in this you will never be able to make a star wars game again understood you piece of shit" so EA don't put micro transaction on star wars anymore but if it wasn't for Disney every star wars game would be like FIFA so 200+ dollars on Randoms pack to gets the character that are interesting.
When you hear “ Hi folks its Falcon “ you know its about to be good
What about "as usual my name is Jake Baldino"
I actually turn it off when I hear that
I never knew there was an ending DLC for Prince of Persia reboot. I never heard about it when I owned it on 360 and the Steam version never ported it over.
Fenix Rising's adventure time character pack sends you straight to purgatory
A PC and a trainer fixes the "time saver" crap.
I wouldn't buy those kinds of games in the first place.
That intro had so much Falcon energy I almost shat my pants
I hope the bigheads in Ubisoft HQ sees this video and at least feel a little bit embarrassed.
The money animation in the intro makes my skin crawl and itch
"yOu dOnT hAvE tO bUy tHeM!" No shit, doesn't stop from trying to incentivize you to buy them by making the game a grind.
Ikr. They're selling an 'rpg' and then you DoN't HaVe tO bUy new outfits, mounts or weapons
@AnimeGamer X You are pushing your luck kid.
@AnimeGamer X And you can't make this look cute by adding lol and stupid emoji there. Mtx is not acceptable, OPTIONAL OR >NOT< there is no justifying. We don't do that.
Understand that and don't speak unless you have something meaningful to say.
@AnimeGamer X if it is CoD or BF sure. You need progress. Yet ubi games like AC or FC aren't about progress. They are about exploration, rping, immersion. Sure there is progress but that's bot the main goal.
Don't play the games that do that.
Lol remember when games doesn't have any of this crap just buy and play
This crap has been in games since about 2008. The first games to introduce an ultimate team mode with microtransactions were Madden and Fifa 09.
I remember defending rabidly WoW's subscription service eons ago. I remember expressly hating the concept of Free 2 Play games. So, congrats to everyone that funded the rise of this.
Yes I do. I called it the moment they started to develop as new game business, but most didn't listen or didn't cared enough
sadly that was a long time ago
love how those "outbreak packs" at 4:20 look exactly like the packaging they use to package marijuana at dispensaries.
Where's all the people who say, "Stop being so entitled!" Or, "you don't have to buy it." Who don't get the point of the issue?
It's that companies intentionally remove or split content to make a quick buck.
The more people rationalize it the worse it gets. People lost their shit back when Oblivion added $5 horse armor.
Now people would happily throw money at that same DLC if it were $15 and justify it.
Because of the reasons you stated sometimes I think humanity is a mistake.
ok so no dlc are added game content not useless shit that make your horse look fancier or double your xp and no if a horse armor was 15$ in a 60$ game people would not be happy proof is star war battlefronts 2 who ended the lootbox shit because it was what you juste said.
@@VouesolaR There is a difference between large expansion packs that have a lot of content vs being nickle and dimed for little pieces.
Lootboxes you pay money for an RNG machine to gamble a chance to get the content you want.
That's what people were upset about. That and the ridiculous method of acquiring cards (progression) from them.
The other is designing the game to be excessive unless you are willing to throw money out. It's predatory game design and it's becoming all the more popular as more games fall under "live service".
People gladly spend $10-15 regularly for simple color palettes and "cosmetics", which is just as useless as the infamous Horse Armor but they justify it. People buy it, and companies prey on that behavior.
@@MercenaryJames i didn't say otherwise i was just correcting the term he used microtransaction and dlc are not the same thing
I've always used cheat engine and trainers in ubisoft games , these kinda micro transactions in a single player game is beyond everything i would cheat it rather than pay real money for it
Smart man.
do you really need it, i did use cheat but when the game is finished or when i replay it because i lost save or something, i never cheated in the first playthrough it break the fun
It's amazing the patience a gamer has as he ages...... I beat them at their game by waiting a few months to a year and pay a fraction of the cost for the complete game
Hahaha amen my guy
This video should just be:
"Everytime Ubisoft says the word EXCLUSIVE"
You never run out of words nor ideas..

When this song hits, you know it will be a great Falcon video
This is the first time seeing you include driver sf best game
Damn, I miss Ezio...Those games were so much better than most ACs since.
Last 3 AC games are so trash
@@maruf7956 As far as gameplay I agree. I do appreciate Origins & Odyssey for the historical modes though. I was pissed that Valhalla didn't have it.
Origins was pretty good at least it explains the founding of the Assassin's Creed order and Bayek's story was quite enjoyable...now odyssey idk what the fuck that was, I've never not finished a creed game but i traded that shit in
not gonna lie only ac ever finished was 3 hated every other one so no fucks given for me
Ps plus members, FF7 remake is free this month. Have a great day.
You’re a living legend
Enjoy the game people!
We need one of these for rockstar.
For what? The two games they have? Gonna be a short video.
At number 2 GTA V
At number 1 RDR2

Please, hear me out
When fc5 was released there was a gold edition with fc3 as the "dlc" and i asked ubisoft on instagram why there weren't any dlc in fc3.
They replied that fc3 was a dlc for fc5 gold edition. So i bought the gold edition for € 100 to play fc3.
Later ubisoft made fc3 a standalone purchase and i felt scammed.
I got the fc5 gold edition for like 20 bucks and I remember having fc3 with the dlcs, when did you get it?
@@squirrel_disaster at the release on ps4, its just garbage that they made fc3 standalone afterwards.
(Maybe also bit sad that there was no multiplayer or editor.)
@@youngbud9269 I got it on steam and I have the dlcs and stuff, I guess ubisoft loves fucking people over
Virtual hugs to early squad
@@dubiousdecline8286 I saw him saw say first too lmaoo
The fact that there's even 10 of these is mind blowing
I never knew I could want a whole company to spontaneously combust as much as I do now.
I'm just... tired. I can't even find the energy to be upset anymore.
I sat back and kicked my feet up for this one lol
You should do a best microtransactions video. I'd be interested to see what would make it....if any
Odessey’s time savers were removed when it was discounted.
“Here’s a list of cash grabs by Ubisoft”
*Lists micro transactions for every Ubisoft game in the last 10 years*
Are they wrong
@@questionfor9502 video should’ve just been called Ubisoft micro- transactions that suck then lmao
@@dyaniscott but.. they're cash grabs. Awful ones, that suck🤦
Falcone turn up the volume on your mic just a bit, I feel like your sound got lower..
Lol. Paying to increase health and Melee damage for 5 minutes. That got me rolling on the floor 🤣
I'm not sure what other games did this, but by far the most absurd thing that has happened that absolutely tilted me was when Virtua Fighter 5 crossed over to next gen (from PS3/XBOX360 to PS4/XBOX ONE) and basically all the content and unlockable characters went from earnable, to purely DLC. I used to play Virtua Fighter 5 heavily in 360 days. And loved the idea of grinding the game and unlocking characters through story progression and buying all these cosmetics via in-game currency. With the next gen - at the time - they decided to scrap that whole concept and instead lock what you WERE able to earn behind a blatant paywall.
Imagine buying things in SP game when you can get it with cheat engine or some other 3rd party software
Because, its illegal
I’m not first
I’m not last
But most importantly
No one asked
Well said
But you still felt the need to say it.
Lol , I comment my view number from time to time idk but someday it will be a trend
they did that "time savers" shit in Valhalla too.. month after release and reviews were out...
i remember that therussianbadger said that in some r6 siege events you get all the cosmetics but only for the duration of the event
