[Draugoth]

Pre Orders for the game are available

 

[Maddoxswe]

So ?

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Wont buy save money

 

[struggler_guts]

...how else would you?

Games haven't come with the whole game on the disk for a minute now

Just make it a code then. Why bother with a disc.

 

[Punished Miku]

Why bother with a disk.

It helps maintain the illusion for people who still need it.

This is why physical games are dead. I used to be all physical, but it's now pointless when all you're getting is a code on a disc to download the game.

 

[FunkMiller]

Ubi gonna Ubi, I guess.

 

[Draugoth]

So ?

In 10 years you will be unable to install this game

Not true. There was a recent survey that showed that a lot of physical games (I think it was over 85-90%) didn't require internet or a day 1 patch to be fully playable.

Unfortunately yes. Can't remember the last time I bought a physical game disc.

 

[ProtoByte]

Looks lame af anyway, so why not give another reason not to buy it?

 

[Fredrik]

Everything is patched for months now. In a couple months you have no interest to play the day 1 ”fully playable” version.

This isn't true at all!

 

[StueyDuck]

All the sweet baby stink and consulting money coulda gone to install disc's

 

[Mr Hyde]

Still doesn't change the fact that a lot of games are fully playable day 1 without patches. This narrative that discs are nothing but coasters that contain only a download code is horse shit.

I know. The thread on this exact topic for Hogwarts Legacy was so ridiculous.

It’s uncommon. And becoming more and more unlikely that they contain the entire contents of the game on disc. Which we all know.

And let’s not pretend that any coming printed on disc contain any of what is usually quite the hefty Day One patch. As nice as it is to physically hold a copy of a game you own, there’s no getting around it.

 

[Mr Moose]

What's on the disc?

"So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game."

 

[nikos]

Good thing it isn't 1995.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Second time they've done this; first with Avatar and now with SW Outlaws.

 

[Mossybrew]

Tough times. It doesn't even give you the big warning on the box - you will need electrical service to your home to boot up and play this game.

Again with this same stupid shit...You people are exactly the problem.

It's not about having internet,most of the world and in particular the people playing these games have internet ofc, that's not the issue here,the issue is the fact that you have absolutely no control or ownership over the product you buy with your own hard earned money.

They control how you install it,how you play it,soon enough they'll control whenever you pause the game to take a shit to spring in a commercial about their next garbage release.

At the end of the day,why should a 70$ singleplayer offline game NEED an internet connection to install it?

Are they acknowledging they are so inept and they can't release a complete product day 1 that they need a 50gb patch to fix the garbage they peddle or do they really want to make sure they can track your every movement and make sure you ain't ever going off the grid with their product?!

Either way,Ubisoft can eat a bag of dicks for this and they can take it digitally since they so prefer it.

I know but release day discs are no working preservation solution to get the games you played and loved years ago, those days are over.

[Goalus]

Before I switch on my Xbox, I usually switch off my internet router and disable the data connections on all mobile devices in my household. How will I be able to play the game then?

 

[LordCBH]

Fuck off Ubisoft. Bitch ass company.

 

[YuLY]

Ah nice, another game that will die once they close the servers, like The Crew 1. If you buy this shit, you are part of the problem, I wont judge you too much, but I just wanted you to know that.

One shitty practice by a shitty publisher isn't indicative of what other published games are like.
When I read comments like this they translates to
" Yeah sure! fuck me in the ass please"
Justifying by saying it's all the same when it's not, just because you prefer Digital is another shitty practice.

 

[Brock2621]

Steelbook? C'mon....

 

[SmokedMeat]

Didn’t Ubi say they wanted you to get used to not owning your games?

 

[TGO]

Didn’t Ubi say they wanted you to get used to not owning your games?

I thought they said they wanted us to get use to not owning their games

 

[Spukc]

So ?

So ?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Slow news Today? Did you guys just wake up from 2010?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Hard pass: Disney. Online required. Female Solo wannabee. It's all good though, I'm sure they're perfectly happy this white male won't buy their product.

 

[proandrad]

Everyone will need an internet connection to download it from gamepass next year.

 

[Laptop1991]

i'm not even buying their Assassin Creeds anymore due to their awful attitude towards gamers and so called customers that they treat like this and i always buy the AC games, no idea how Ubisoft makes money now, another avoid title for me.

 

[TGO]

There was time when most of my games was, Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, Ubisoft and EA.
funny how times change.

 

[Gudji]

I know this woman

 

[TGO]

I know this woman

Yeah very familiar...

 

[Drew1440]

Lets just hope the servers don't run into technical issues on launch.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

And I was going to buy it at its launch, that is a stone in the way.

 

[IDKFA]

This isn't true at all!

Really? Halo Infinite had the full campaign on the disc?

 

[intbal]

Will they link each disc to a particular console, the first one that downloads the game?
The publishers have always hated the used market.
