Just when you thought it couldnt go worse.

Unity also appears to be an experiment to see how much Ubisoft can atomize a game and split it into tiny component parts, the better to aggressively adopt the gameplay systems and business practices of character-leveling, randomized gear collection, individualized characters, synced companion apps and optional and temporary microtransaction-fueled stat-boosting that can make solo gameplay easier.

The good of that atomization of Assassin's Creed game design involve the myriad looks you can adopt for Arno by changing his cowl and clothes...

... and it's nice to have a broader range of weapons and equipment that can modify the assassin's abilities...

But then there's optional but questionable stuff like this, a real-money way to obtain the game's optional "hack" currency instead of using the in-game currency you earn by finishing most missions...



Whether these changes are temporary experiments or the result of a shift in Ubisoft's long-term goals for the series, the end result is a problem: Assassin's Creed: Unity just isn't very fun.

Lawl! First Parity, then sub 30 fps and now this! Well done ubisoft! You just might win that worst company award

Might, even ea cant frak up enough to take it from Ubi now.

Aww man. This next-gen micro-transactions is killing me.

$99 is macro-transactions.

As long as the game can be played without microtransactions without us missing out on any considerable content or fun, and as long as the game doesn't constantly remind us about said microtransactions in an attempt to get us to use them, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

However, we won't know if this is the case until the game comes out.

I never buy microtransactions, so price is mostly irrelevant to me. The thing I hate about microtransactions is how the rest of the game is built around them, making it feel like a F2P title that costs $60.

How is the rest of the gameplay affected by this?

Yeah don't care for this game. Now if for some reason FarCry 4 has micro transactions, i will be pissed!

I am so glad I didn't support this. This will be another rental or used purchase due to greed practices. I am the first to say AC4 was amazing too. My favorite game of 2013.

Yay Microtransactions how fun woo!!!
Ubisoft is the worst company of all time.
