Ubisoft's redemption

For sure, there have certainly been predatory MTX in games.

But Ubi's have typically sat between that and none.

So fake outrage about them in their games has been rather irresponsible.

It hurts their games. It hurts progression as well.

its not really that...omni present. The gear score is a little annoying at times but hopefully when they fix it...and they said they will, it will really be no different then any other shooter or RPG like ME.

for clarification your talking about pretty much the inventory?

its ok.

Inventory systems usually annoy me and to be fair Breakpoint has one of the worse. Especially compared to Wildlands. I liked how Andromeda does it.

uh...no?

I mean first off the crafting system in Andromeda was kind of meh I can't sort through what of my gear was crafted and what wasn't. All I really did was whip up the occasional weapon without old fashioned heat synths. Even if this were true...it's not a complaint.

Second you can basically only equip gear on the ship or at the forwards stations, huge win in my book.

if you're talking about the transmog then I have a love hate relationship with it.

Only thing I liked about the ACOD inventory system was that it was effectively limitles.

I hate the move to "gear with stats" for the series. It definitely isn't going anywhere, as it's the avenue to easy MTs. Still, it just creates clutter in what had long been a nice, clean part of the game.

Just an hour ago I spent 5M drachmae upgrading legendaries that wont be bumped to 99 via gameplay. I did it solely to clear some space in the bank vault so that I'll be able to sell gear for a while. I get tired of continuously needing to sell and disassemble gear in this game. I hate bulky inventories. I like character builds and optimization more than most, but gear need to be such a big part of it.

I love the visual customization feature that was added. I hope it becomes standard in this series, and catches on in other games. Again, though, I only end up using a few looks over 150 hours of gameplay. I hate the fantasy weapons and armor. (This includes all of the super-sized weapons that could've looked okay had they been scaled properly.) I'd love to get a game that embraces and represents the beautiful clothing, weapons and armor of ages past. Conceptually, this would seem to be a great series for that, but it's never really happened.

Most gamers, movie-goers, etc... have no idea what real weapons, armor and clothing look like, nor how they worked, since no one takes the time to portray them well. As someone with an interest in this stuff, I've always found that to be disappointing.

I think it was a combination of what happened with the latest Ghost Recon's performance and the fact people made so many comments to it being like all the other Ubisoft games which has been a meme for awhile now.  It really does feel like to me if you play one Ubisoft game you have played the all, even the uniqueness of their franchises are slowly being removed for as much as I have enjoyed Assassin's Creed Odyssey it felt more combat orientated then stealth based like my personal favorite of Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
