Are you comparing expansion to low effort mission DLC? You are the strange one here.

I'm happy to see so many people doing the same. It just really felt like a no-brainer, especially for folks that may not be super into Ubisoft or their games, but do have the occasional curiosity about some releases. Made a ton of sense with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Especially since I personally don't want to buy it until it comes to Steam one day. Well, assuming it does, lol.

How do you know it's "low effort"?
Judge the content based on its merit alone, not some preconceived notion of what you imagine it to be.
Y'all want more AAA SP games, this is how it has to be

Because InFAMOUS Second Son got this type DLC mission with Zeke from pervious game, which they didn’t put the effort to make model of him, it all through audio conversation.
First I don’t give a rat ass if it’s AA or AAA, I just want good SP.…Second we get games like Elden Ring tyat have became highly successful without any of these crap and they are putting out big expansion that actually worth the asking price.

2024 Ubisoft is not 2013 Insomniac FYI. Crazy comparison.

Not really, we got many of this type of DLCs and 90% of them were low effort.
Your comparison between this paid DLC that wont even last an hour to full on expansion which is “crazy”.

I usually hate not owning a game, but in the case of ubisoft games it's not a big deal

I don't necessarily disagree with you.
But I don't think it's entitlement. It's as you say, Ubisoft is free to charge whatever they want for their products, and people are free to decide if they want to spend their money on it or not. Saying this Day 1 DLC makes you not want to buy the game isn't entitled. Entitlement to me would be something like pirating the game because you think you deserve the content without paying for it.
I do agree that most people would be ok if they artificially withheld the content for 6 months, and that's indeed dumb.

I am against this on principle, but really, there is no reason to care. It won't be some amazing, must-play mission. People buying the standard edition wouldn't even know this existed.

Even more crazy when you think that infamous is a sucker punch game.
Btw, you are extremely naive for even comparing cd project dlc to what is gonna be a shitty, throw away mission, you think you are gonna have 10 to 20 hours of content out of that jabba quest? Think again.

Charging extra for content that should be available in the base game day one is an issue. Let me break this down for you, so you understand. There are two DLCs planned for the future, which you can pre-order (with a season pass) if you pay $40 more, to incentivize you to purchase this now, they rip a mission out of the base game and lock it behind the $40 upgrade.

There is some irony in that to be honest

Phantom Liberty is an Expansion, created and released years after the main game. Jabba the Hutt DLC is content cutted out from the main game to be sold for extra money. Thats how Ubisoft does things and its nothing new. Anyone buying Ubishit day 1 deserves to be scammed.
Day 1 DLC is a scam.

So if they artificially delayed the content for a length of time and sold it at a later date, you'd be fine with it?

No and thats not what happened with Phantom Pain expansion. I dont buy season passes. Period. Much less DLC that is already in the game day 1 locked behing a 110$ version of the game.
The season pass idea, is that players pay for future content to be added to the game. Locking content that is already in the game behind a season pass day 1 is a whole new level of scam.

Just try to imagine the level of brainrot somebody continuing to look forward to this game must be suffering from. AAA(A?) and its fans deserve each other.

Do you not see difference between day one DLC and expansion?
Expansion like this takes time and effort to make compare to day one DLC.

Game looks good, looking forward to it. If it’s worthy I’ll even buy the DLC. Worthy of more moaning, whinging and whining? Nah, but you guys go for it, it’s hilariously predictable, some of you need to understand what a real problem or issue is.

People often overlook that pre-order missions or special edition missions are usually missions that were gonna get cut otherwise cause they are underbaked.

That makes 0 sense.
They both made large AAA SP games and sold additional content.
The only difference is CDPR made you wait and Ubisoft didn't.
Both expansions cost time & money for their respective studios.

Jabba the Hutt mission is not a expansion. Is content that is already in the main game but you cant play it if you have the 70$ version of the game.

Ubisoft obviously put time & effort into the Jabba The Hutt DLC. They just did so in a different (irrelevant to the player) manner.

Shadow of Erdtree expansion is gonna have good 40-50 hours content, meanwhile you would be lucky if this Jabba quests last an hour.....Are fucking kidding me with stupid comparison?
