Dropping by the minute? lol
There have been PLENTY of first day specials for games lately.
You don't need to try and use everything to justify your pre conceived notion.
I'm sure odyssey and origins had similar deals but can't search back that far
Yeah I'm not sure why everyone is rooting for this game and Ubisoft to fail, leading to further consolidation of the industry.
I just ordered this for click and collect as worst case and I bounce off the game in a week or two, I can always put it towards a trade-in for a future title with the 2-for-1 deal that goes around often enough. The game is $110 AUD on the PS store so this is objectively a good deal for a release date title.
Playstation store has always charged over $100 for games that are as low as $60 in brick-and-mortar stores. Always. Their store is deliberately overpriced and not a good reflection of actual game prices in Australia.
@brrshhh: The PSN, XBL, Nintendo, Steam, and so on, stores are full RRP. Big W, JB, etc. can do sales for less than RRP. There is various little agreements and things in place that stipulate the digital stores must charge full RRP, but even if there wasn't, think about it, aside from the physical die hards, if digital was cheaper on release day, many people would choose it. If digital becomes too attractive of a proposition, then the retail partners won't bother to stock your stuff, then you lose the physical presence which is essential because 9 out of 10 game console sales aren't the Hardcore GamerTM, it's soccer mom and grandma and the cool uncles of the world looking for something to buy little Johnny for his birthday. If that happens, the whole bloody system falls apart.
So sure, I'd prefer cheaper day one digital games too, but from literally every perspective other than the wallet of the consumer, it just isn't practical.

It’s because Ubisoft has been making the same fundamental Far Cry without differentiating too much between their open-world games. Frontiers of Pandora actually stood out more than their usual games, despite it borrowing heavily from Far Cry in typical Ubisoft fashion. Mirage was decently-received, although a lot of the criticism can be attributed to making the same game without the love, care and attention that other studios give their franchises (that’s not to say they don’t). The latest PoP game was EXTREMELY well-received by switch genres to a Metroidvania with the style and flair of late 2010s early 2020s animation.
And you’re worried about consolidation of the industry? Veterans of AAA studios are leaving left and right to start their own game-dev studios or join smaller ones. If anything, American AAA is going to fall to indies, AAs, and East Asian studios.
On a side note, AAA game devs and studios have to accept this truth: “gamers” are white, cisgender, racist, sexist, borderline-MAGA and male PoS. Gamergate runs too deep now and there’s a “gamer” in the White House, so if you want your games to be bought by them, you have to cater to their interests, even if it’s morally reprehensible to you or damages your brand. Gamers will happily buy a Chinese game over an American game if it’s good or it appeals to the male fantasy, despite MAGA saying “China bad”.
Either that, or the White House will make sure your games cater to these toxic gamers’ values.
Games price dropping like ubi's stock :)
Sacre bleu!
This game will flop harder than concord lol tbh i wouldn’t even want it for free after all the things ubisoft has done
Are we really going to have 2-3 posts every day for each incremental $1 price drop on this mid game for the next 3 months. Boring
Are you old enough to be on the internet?
Yes
Are you ok? Yes, your mum gave me all the permission I need thanks.
Yep I will wait for it to be free on Game Pass Ultimate. DEI will never stop me from buying a game, but the last few AC games have been… meh
Black person = DEI?
I haven't kept up with what I meant to be outraged about this week, Can someone enlighten me
You couldve googled it in the time it took you to make that comment.
If the people from the country it is based in arent happy then you know Ubisoft has lost the plot.
Yes, we hate Gerry. $74 at Harvey Norman. FYI for price match.
ubisoft wants to cash in on the success of Ghost Of Tsushima.
haha . google the game. 34% liked this video game
If you are going to buy the game, get the disc version so you can give to mates you do not like.
34% of who? The game only came out today, currently has a very positive rating on Steam, and an 81 on both Metacritic and Opencritic.
