Fun game. I'm at like 75% completion. Did all of the biggest and best stuff, got all the outfits, all that's left is minor contortionist shit.

The side quests are arguably better than the main quests. They have actual story to them and some of them are really great.

The third act of the game is a fucking mess though, with a truly wtf ending. The third act retcons a lot of established lore. Some of the hidden tombs have some first civ stuff that talks directly to the girl in the animus and what they imply for the future is fucking huge. Makes me curious where the series is going. The animus the girl builthas the ability to actually alter the past, not just view it. And the forst civ devices basically say there's a major event coming involving time. A time catastrophe..

I really enjoyed the actual game side of things, but the story didn't really go anywhere until the mess of a third act, then made several significant revelations out of left field and retconned some lore.

8.5/10 imo.

I honestly kind of believe that their systems are too antiquated. If you have ever returned something to gamestop, it takes forever, and their systems are always going down. Now multiply that by a lot when you have a ton of people trying to return stuff constantly.

are the sidequests repetitive as fuck

Well there's 58 view points you have to synchronize and there's:

-Bandit camps/hideouts
-Barracks (exact same idea as Bandit camps just with soldiers)
-Trirenes (again exact same idea just on a ship)
-Sunken areas like temples or ships to pick up treasure under water
-Buried temples to pick up treasure

It is repetitive still, it's a Ubisoft game >_>


The actual side quests are better than the main quests. They have story to them.

Fun fact: The reason why Cole gets so angry every time he "Doubts" someone is because for the entire development of the game the options were not "Truth" "Doubt" and "Lie" but "Coax" "Force" and Lie.

The entire point was that Cole was trying to get info out of the perp, the issue is how does he go about it.

However the studio decided against the game developer's wishes that gamers are too stupid to know what "Coax" and "Force" means so they changed it to Truth and Doubt.

This is why half the time you say Truth, Cole acts like they're lying anyway and everytime you say Doubt, Cole gets angry.

It's a shame how crappy for the masse design by comity oversight can tarnish good game design

They changed it to Good Cop and Bad Cop in the remake.

Wait what, they did? You don't have to try and tell if they're lying anymore?

Apparently along with lowering the cost to unlock, they also lowered the rate at which you earn credits. Fuck them.

They have not. They only place it's been lowered is in the campaign once you finish it, and the intent was always to give you enough credits to purchase the main character for use in multiplayer.
They give credits instead of just awarding her, which honestly is something everyone should be happier about.

Apparently, BF2 is also capping daily credits earned, too.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-battlefront-2-has-a-daily-credit-cap-for/1100-6454916/


Only for arcade mode, which basically their equivalent of CoD's zombies mode playing against bots and not actual people.

Don't get me wrong, it's still bullshit. But it's not like there's a clean hard cap and you absolutely cannot make any more credits no matter how you play for the rest of the day forcing you to buy them if you want to keep progressing. I can't imagine many people dedicating that much time to arcade mode anyway, knowing their fanbase. So it's not likely to make a very big impact on players' actual progression. It's just going to piss people off because of the gall EA is showing with their shadiness this time around. :-|

Also, what multiplayer game in recent years has actually allowed you to earn multiplayer stuff in singleplayer?
I feel the same way about as I do about lowering the campaign finish credits -- it makes sense to me how they've done it, just that with the negative press they've had they might have considered being friendlier to the consumer.

Are you defending multiplayer progression being based around loot boxes? O_o

Yeah, with the New 3ds they didn't include power cords because "most people getting it will have one already."

But they supposedly lowered the system price by $10 and then sold the cables separately for $10...

And then the cables were borderline impossible to find for a while because of it.

What I dont get is the whales have shown time and time again that they will spend money on anything whether it is cosmetic or not. So basically there is no need to bring in pay to win if you arent trying to alienate your fan base


Companies aren't content with merely making money - they want _all_ of the money. It's why we saw so many companies attempting to ape CoD last gen, because CoD was making piles of money. They ape whatever is popular, and right now, Overwatch's fuckery is what's king. It's what drove Visceral's game to the ground. It's what's driving BFII. It's what's driving Destiny 2. It's what's going to happen with Bioware's new Destiny clone.

Also, as someone who played way more of destiny 2 than I should have, the microtransactions are still only cosmetic in that game, it hasn't affected the game itself yet. Not defending it, just clarifying. Oddly enough, cod ww2 is basically identical to destiny 2 in form and function, minus the co op of d2, and it actualk has non cosmetic stuff in it's loot boxes.

Overwatch is still the progenitor of all this madness though.

It's not only Japanese companies either, Bethesda, outside of paid mod nonsense, is staying away from it too. Wolfenstein 2 and evil within 2 didn't have microtransactions in them.

It's honestly the other big 5 that are digging in with the microtransactions:

Ubisoft
Activision
EA

Warner brothers

With ea and Activision being the worst.

Y'all realize that the monetization of rdr2 will come from it's online mode right? Rockstar have already stated that it'll have an online mode similar to GTA5.

Meaning there'll be a single player mode too. So long as that is still there and excellent, I'll get it. I stopped GTA online after a week.

Also, what were you expecting? You know they made almost a billion dollars on shark cards alone, right?

It'll be more of the same in rdr2. Just be cow cards or somryhing now.
