    I don’t even hate the Ubisoft formula, but it’s, like, dawg…. Try something new. I go years without being interested in the schlog, then I get really into one. But it’s astounding that they’re still putting out the same game for over a decade now. The trimmings might be a little spruced and fluffed here and there but the core loop is still the same fucking game, again and again and again.

      Yeah, I played AC Odyssey and the DLC a while back, and I’m still burnt out on Assassin’s Creed about 4 years later.

      It just seems designed to sap as much of your time as possible. Like an MMO but without any tangible benefit for them doing so.

          I was level capped before I even touched the DLC. I ignored everything that was generated rather than having some story to it. There’s just a lot of game there. Too much, in fact.

          I just don’t know who the funbucks shop is even for. It’s not like you can even show it off online because it’s single player…

            Maybe there’s a lot of rich kids out there who’s parents say yes to any request. I can’t imagine there are single player purchase “whales” like in multiplayer games.
