Sea shanties now cost $0.50 per word sung.
if ye buy from the cash shop ye a landlubber not a captain
Glad I had zero hopes for this from the start. Just gonna wait for Windrose to 1.0 for my pirate fix instead of bothering with this.
Looks like I’ll just wait to pirate this pirate game. :D
It leaked a few days before launch
This is the way
I don’t buy Ubisoft garbage.
Eh? The original had a cash shop too, and some stuff locked behind a mobile companion app AFAIK
Pretty sure there were weekly challenges as well. It would tell you global stats of how many ships destroyed or whatever.
The company run by sex predators is doing other unsavoury shit, you say?
Not defending this, but it did remind me of how nuts the monetization was on the original. I had a modded 360 at the time, and there used to be an old school forum style website that curated all available DLC. This game had exclusive content for GameStop, Walmart, Target, and I think a 4th and 5th retailer too. Not to mention the pre-order bonuses and other exclusives. I wanna say there were around 25 different pieces of content and to get 100% of what was available, youd’ve had to buy 5 retail copies of the same game… or have a modded 360 and an internet connection. Even unlocking the content was more of a hassle than most DLCs. You had to move your user profile to a USB stick, connect it to your PC, inject the entitlements to the exclusive costumes into your profile, then move the profile back to your console.
Fuck Ubisoft.
And off the wishlist, it goes.
The original holds up quite well, at least on PC with highest settings and resolution you can get. I never finished the game to be honest and thought to myself to revisit it to finally get the job done. But then waited for the Remake and it looks like its not a must have.
About the cash shop, one could just ignore it, right?
