This is Ubisoft testing the waters on monetizing transmog. Don't let this test be successful if you don't want to see them adapt this model to all their games and push it further. You give them an inch, they'll take everything.

I really doubt people working on bug fixes are the same devs who are working to implement all this MTX crap.
@Bryce Henderson neither are any of the people only using periods so I don’t know why you’re @ing him.
Know what's worse? Diablo 4 will pull the SAME EXACT SHIT with their "transmogs as mtx" and people will, again, fall for it and be pissed for doing so.
@Joshua R Thank you so much for pointing this out. I get the feeling Yong is 100% anti-capitalism. He stokes feelings of entitlement in young gamers so they rage against our western economic structures and the "evil companies" rather than encourage them to find good games or become developers themselves. Nobody is entitled to video games built exactly the way they want. Don't like the game? Don't buy it.
This is people's own fault. I don't buy Ubisoft or EA games so I rarely get burned. But people know what these companies do and still buy their games
Imagine still playing assassins creed lol. It is the very same game every time with a different theme.
Anyone else stuck on a brewing storm because *spoiler Dag dosent show up to fight you
Don't play assassins creed, problem solved
well thats ubi-shit....eeerrrrm ubisoft for you in a nutshell
It’s getting to the point where you can’t be excited for launch day games anymore. You have to wait a few months for them to introduce all their BS micro transactions post review to see what it’s really going to be. Glad I didn’t get this game with my PS5, I had a feeling it was going to go this route. Sad too cause it looks like a cool game.
it's kinda sad that i have to resort to trainers in order to get an enjoyable experience, i shouldn't have to up the xp gain and give myself silver in order to enjoy your game without paying more money or grinding content over and over so i can progress the main storyline, i feel bad for console players because some of these shortcomings i can just bypass in a way while they're kinda stuck with what ubi gives them.
Furthermore...I can’t be the only one who’s ready to start cloning these poorly designed games, changing as little as possible to avoid getting sued...and then releasing what these games SHOULD have been.
If nothing else else they should just give us the tools to fix it....(thanks) „fine...I’ll do it myself“
i just pirated this game
The consumers should have never let mtx get this bad, or even let it start to begin with. Companies are not your friends, they see you as nothing but a source of money. Do not buy AAA games, do not give in to microtransactions, if you MUST play a new AAA game buy it used or pirate it, they deserve nothing. Ubisoft's ceo protected sexual abusers within the company for years and then made a non apology when they were ousted. Ubisoft is scum.
This bug is still not fixed! Help. How can cyberpunk get pulled from stores but this is still allowed to be sold when half the players can't finish the game. Or need to restart after 50 - 100 hours playtime. SHAMEFUL UBISOFT
You used to find cheat codes in Gaming magazine. Now you find them in your wallet.
Skil this game Avoid it like the plague
So in reality, Ubisoft just fired anyone from the team just before launch that would know how to fix the game. They learned well from Activision.
This game sucks
I was lucky to not get the NPC bug. I did finish the game. However, I will not resume playing it until the cape mechanics are fixed. We are already less assassin and more not assassin, but even the cape look like crap? Gimme a break, Ubisoft.
Ubisoft is a supracunt. Abstergo took over and they’ve been giving us shit ever since.
Ubi has been slacking for years now. It would be great if they actually took 3 or 4 years in between each game installment. I’ve been spending $100+ for the last 3 games. I’ve got other shit to pay for and I’m not rich.
Jomsviking gear is reset to default upon load in or map change.
There is no way I buy this game at this state it is at this moment. Maybe when I get it from sale like with 15€ I'll think about it, there is a small chanse to even have some major bugs fixed but I wont hold my breath.
I will like to use this opportunity to thank ubisoft, paradox and taleworlds for making me reach the decision that I will explain bellow. I always get games from torrent sites first. If I like it, if the company is worth it and respectful throughout their history with the customers, i`ll buy it, if not i`ll do what i do with ubisoft games and get them for free and NEVER, EVER, EVER EVER AGAIN will I spend my money on them!
So Ubisoft gets a free pass? Man, really starting to wonder if CDPR only gets that much shit because they 'respond' to player base on a consistent basis unlike Ubisoft.
Alternate title "Ubisoft does Ubisoft things"
Release broken trash. Ignore fixes and patch in micro-transactions. It's the new meta and unfortunately its not going to change. I'm an old school gamer, and while I don't speak for everyone I just find it all depressing. I grew up on companies wanting to push each other and put out the most badass game. The younger gamers are growing up on halfhearted crap designed around micro-transactions and they just see it as normal.
Odessy was very fun to play I felt like assassin's creed valhalla was gonna be change to make money so I didn't buy it. If one games does great why change those good features greedy greedy
Really thankful I didnt buy this game. I bought Demon's souls remake instead.
I only buy games when they've been out for at least a year and on sale now. Lame I need to do this.
On top of ALL these issues the game it's nearly unplayable on PC, the cpu suage rate is constantly lower than 50% and ther's a bug that makes it go under 20% thus gutting the frame rate. jus for reference i have a pc that can run watch dogs legion a game FROM ubisoft, released a month a part from ac valhalla at 1080 ultra at a constant 50 fps and i can't get constant 40 on valhalla!
EA, BLIZZARD, AND UBISOFT CAN GOT TO HELL
This is Ubisoft at its best😐
Seeing Assassins Creed for what it has become is quite depressing
I kinda force myself to like this game. It is beautiful and I had fun but eventually, it feels dull and extremely repetitive even for Ubisoft standards. The only game I have genuinely enjoy from Ubisoft is Division 2. Assassin's is dead to me until they releaseenginemen's every preorder and believe the hype.
It’s on sale on Xbox live and I was about to buy it. Luckily I came across this vid
Lol there's a lot of cry babies on grinding 50 silver only haha..
I was actually really enjoying the game, and glitch’s weren’t that bad, but there’s a game breaking glitch that can’t let you move forward. It’s a shame.
Incase anyone thought they fixed some of the game breaking bugs since this video released, no. I can’t pledge to my next area to finish my game. I got this game from a friend and didn’t pay and Ubisoft still makes me feel ripped off. They should be paying us to play their games at this point.
If you can't progress in the game, due to an npc, that means the game is broken! Valid reason to get your money back. F U ubisoft 😐🖕 Fix your sh*t! Edit: Also remove every trace of microtransactions, from single player adventure games. You know, Breath of the Wild, puts these trash practices to to shame. Upgrading Link's armor feels rewarding, and feels really good. Because you truly EARN it through determination, and perseverance. Now too hard, not too easy, just in that sweet sweet sweet spot. THAT, feels really good.🥰 And with every Link amiibo tunics, there's so much upgrade goals to work towards.😊 There's no microtransaction second/third currencies, and it's not tedious.🥱😒 Just fun good times. The reason I bought Breath of the Wild. Also, Monster Hunter World. LOADS of DLC. Those are all gravy, cause it's cosmetic. The game is so polished, and it cooked to perfection in the over, that I gladly spend money on Monster Hunter World DLC to look good, and to support the game😁😎 More then happy to do that. My favorite Assassin's Creed games are Brotherhood, and Black Flag.😎 I don't use online.😊
Just cheat. Simple.
If you're still playing AC: V you should have expected this at some point.
Ubisoft? Haven't heard that since AC2
A Brewing Storm Glitch Still Exists as of March, 2021 So has anyone here been able to get past this and finish the game? I've written to Ubisoft, but that's falling on deaf ears. Only sorry I bought the "Seasons Pass" without getting this issue resolved first. From what I understand you can't start the "Seasons Pass" quests until you finish the main game... I am really disappointed.. I just want to finish this game on move on... If anyone has resolved this please let us know here. Reaching the end of the game and not being able to finish it is totally crazy. PLEASE GET THIS RESOLVED UBISOFT.
how people like this game is beyond me. i put in a few hours thinking it would get better... it did not. it is garbage
Why do you people keep buying Ubisoft games? Stop buying Ubisoft games and they will eventually go away.
i used to be a gamer. the never ending, always growing greed opened my eyes. last time i spent monny on game's was €69,- for Destiny's latest monny grab, just to see my hundereds of euro ivestment get cut in half in the beond logic dlc, just to make room for new monny grabbing.
seriously who is still buying ubisofts games?! hoiy shit if you don't expect this, you're either a ten year old, or braindead.
Just use a cheat engine to beat them at their own game.
Sound alike fallout 76
Haven't bought any new Ubisoft games at all. Woot dodge a bullet. I would wait 1-2 years before buying any games from them. Bait and switch.
Unisoft is the worst with their monetization. There's no game without imo. Full price games.. I got the launcher removed after the Valhalla game wasn't even worth playing even tho it came for free with my CPU. Please don't support cash shop developers like ubisoft
Game as a service not a product.
Saw this happening when they turned it into a pseudo-RPG. The only reason to turn AC into an RPG was to monetize it.
Man your point about silver would make a whole lot more sense if it wasn’t extremely easy to earn silver at any point in the game.
Ok we we just bitching to bitch now? Did you just think you were gonna be able to set up a fashion set for free?
The armor set complaint is garbage. You don’t need to use any armor set other than the cannon raven armor even on the Hardest difficulty to complete the entire game. The store sets are super unimmersive you shouldn’t be using those during your normal play through
this game scenematics maked you believe that this valhala will have something new in creeds game,but NOPE!SAME OLD BORING SHIT...
I will not buy a game that has micro transactions in it. If that means all I buy are switch games and older games then so be it
Wait wtf the game was awesome at lunch I don't know why I'm surprised they're going to f*** that up
hahaha, surprised seriously? When's the last time Ubisoft didn't put microtransactions in their single player games? Vote with your wallet, get what you deserve.
i never bothered to downloaded any patch. don't need bugs and glitches. still on version 1.0.0
Lol if you bought this crappy game then you kind of deserve this.
Ubisoft is also one of the few companies still selling season passes ON TOP of microtransactions and even battle passes.
Can't wait for that Star Wars game!!
Stop buying Ubisoft games. Will people never learn?
and then these same idiotic publishers are surprised people pirate stuff lmao
Empty-feeling map? First time to play Ubisoft open world game?
Easiest way to enjoy the game and screw Ubisoft on their greediness is to use WeMod to script inject cheats into the game. It has an unlimited silver and resources toggle for the game there. Just saying...
The base game is there the base armor set aswell you want more pay for it it's that simple this is not a pvp game so it really doesn't matter if the armor has advantages how ever that's my opinion pay if you like or don't its up to each of us at the end gaming it's a business 🤷🏻♂️
I'm concerned for the new upcoming star wars open world Ubisoft are working on.
I am not sure. I feel like money exlusive direct pay items as microtransactions are more honest, than many other forms of monetazation. Often times the supposed _earnable_ items feel even more incedious, because you could earn them, if you give up your soul. Or you pay a few quick bucks, to speed up the process. Which then makes the direct purchase/booster/gambling even more tempting, than the item beeing shop-exclusive. Giving one single deceicive pricetag feels at least more up-front to me (though the price usually beeing unreasonably high is bs). Best example, the good ol' BF2 _free unlockable_ characters, for _mere 40h_ a piece. Pride and accomplishment my arse, I can play through so many better games (without microtransactions) in that time (or grind for some award, I definitively don't care 40h of life for, I suppose).
Though this does not apply to something like transmog, which was completely free in Odysee (from what I grasp). I was just referring to items optainable by store or alternatively unfathamable grind, not (used to be) free features. (If it was not apparent). That is straight up bs.
I don't mind spending money on DLC, but only when that DLC feels like new content. Not cut content.
yee that's the Ubisoft I know lol
I miss when game companies wasnt publicly traded
I am done, DONE giving Ubisoft my money.
2015 "We must not let them get away with these microtransactions" 2016 "We must not let them get away with these microtransactions" 2017-2018-2019-2020-2021 "We must not let them get away with these microtransactions" 2076 "We must not let them get away with these microtransactions" Humans are creatures of greed and selfishness and as long as people have some $$$ to get what they want they will never stop spending money on microtransactions even if people started to die each time they did, they would not care because as they can afford it so all the negative effects dont affect them. Anyone would think we/I have been asking people to do some work but it's the opposite they just need to STOP and do NOTHING no purchases but because they can afford it and dont give a fuck people will not stop.
These trends make me appreciate Ghost Of Tsushima even more.
wonder if Ubisoft offers bonuses or just lock peoples pay if they don't program in MTX, maybe the devs only get their pay from MTX now
Ubi has Star Wars now, no? I have a feeling we’ll see the same there.
I still don't understand wtf is time saver in "a game," u play to pass time and enjoy it. this "time saver" feature is only applicable to game reviewers
Pretty typical for these gaming companies to use micro transactions and focus on that instead of fixing bugs and give new updates that make the game better. Which is why I stop buying any game at full price and wait for it to drop down to 20 bucks.
Eh. Kill off Assassin's Creed. Bring Back Jordan Mechner and have him revive Prince of Persia... AGAIN!!!
Ubisoft is fucking trash. Just use cheat engine and give yourself 999999 silver
This is exactly why I'm not enthusiastic about the news that Ubisoft is going to be developing a "Star Wars" game. The game's open world will look great and there may be some good aspects to it, but as far as monetization goes ... Ubisoft's not much better than EA. It's like taking the keys to a liquor store away from a drunkard and then giving them to a meth addict.
I see YongYea never played the game. I have now my third playthrough across the whole game and never had a groundbreaking bug on my Xb SeriesX. Second Point is the Transmog. 50 Silver in the game is peanuts. If u fishing 1 fish and sell him, you get the money. nobody needs to buy helix credit in the ubisoft shop, to have a ingame money. If i play 1 riverraid, that cost me 50 silver for my jomswikinger, - i came back with 1500 silver. what the hell is 50 silver coins. nobody needs to buy anything for real money.
I finished Valhalla, it started to get painful so now I play Valheim
ubisoft never fucking learns
At this point I wouldnt be surprised if they charged me trying to exit the game
So many complaints about games these days. If you don't like it do not buy it do not play it... It's like this in any business.
We can't even escape micro-transactions in our single player games. Thanks Ubisoft.
Bruh do you even play Valhalla. I’m like 60 hours in and first of all I have never experienced a bug. Not saying bugs don’t exist but nobody I know who plays or played Valhalla experienced any game breaking bugs. And paying 50 silver for changing a weapons appearance makes a lot of sense considering first of all there’s not much to spend silver on in the first place, I literally have so much silver with nothing to do with it I could change the appearance of every peace of armor or weapon in my inventory and not even get through half of it so not sure what the uproar is about that
And second of all changing a weapon or armors appearance at a whim isn’t realistic at all. You pay in game currency to change skins in literally every other game lol
Imagine a car company releasing a car, where you can't switch higher than 3rd gear. Essentially the same thing.
@Stinker4583 That argument is completely irrelevant to this discussion. Let me guess, you have not played the game? All you've done is, you have read some articles on the internet and gotten yourself an opinion from them.
@Brunolauri Not beeing able to progress the story isn't gameplay affecting????
except, in Valhalla you're only paying silver for cosmetic stuff, not actually gameplay affecting things.
At least Ubisoft is consistent. You kinda expect this from them.
Who still buys these boring copy paste games?
Odyssey did transmog so well. Is it really that hard?
I kinda gave up on Ubishat when the game I bought did not work due to online only BS.
Ubisoft? I be hard.
Players complaining about mtx: *Ubisoft* Players buying shitload of mtx: *UBIHARD*
I just got to say, you all complaining are you still playing this game with the game breaking bugs even after they put in micro transactions? If yes then stop crying you knew buying their crap will cost you time and money LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CRY ME A F’ing river. Cuz this is the Conversation they’re having amongst themselves AND THIER ALL LAGHING AT YOU WHILE THEY shovel all that money you gave them into some vault bank. LMFAO.but hope is always around the corner stop buying crap stop pre ordering crap but these fool don’t listen.
Next thing will be if you want bug fixes and quality of life’s you will need the season pass.
My humble advice. Wait for the deep sale. I will wait for the ultimate edition with every patch for 20$.
