Given all the glum news around AC: Unity, its nice to get a breath of fresh air! Phew.
Yeah but consoles
Is there a spare seat on the train?
You know what's sad?
That this is news-worthy these days ;_;
No multiplayer but they will support the mod community.
supporting a game post-launch with free or paid-for content can be good. sure, it can be bad too.
but microtransactions in a $60 retail release are pretty much always going to be bad.
What really differentiates micro-transactions and DLC?
The scale or scope of the content itself?
Like, are we referring to costumes, hats, cosmetics or in-game boosts as micro, and 'expansions', levels, etc as DLC?
By that metric, games like TLOU had tons and tons of micro...right? I recall being able to buy like a hundred different things for 50 cents or a couple of bucks each. I think they were costumes or skins.
JC2 had vehicle and weapon "DLC," and they alluded to doing the same thing in the OP.
So that's badically micro, isn't it?

I don't know if I'd go that far.I don't doubt that the game will look and play amazing, but no co-op and I'm passing. Inexcusable at this point.
Yeah, JC2 basically had micro transactions anyway. They're lying out their ass when they say that JC3 won't have anything like it. They may have gotten rid of the "diamond" currency system or whatever, though, which may be what they're calling "microtransactions" in this context. And that would definitely be an improvement.
CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO!!!!Fully back on the hype train, then.

Depends on who you ask. Some say that "microtransactions" are necessarily generic and consumable, like boosts and in-game currency, others don't see the point in making that kind of distinction.

I wouldn't consider JC2's DLC "microtransactions" at all. You pay once and that's it. Like most DLC.

Microtransactions initially described small, bite sized dlc purchases like those. The definition has changed however, to almost exclusively describe weird currency systems that encourage shadier practices.
