I suspect this will be a spicy take but I like jumping into Ubisoft+ for a month when they have a big release, playing through and cancelling the sub. It's way cheaper and I'll never play these games again. There's too many great games these days. I used to spend easily 1000-1500 annually on games between console and steam. I don't really buy games anymore so churning between these subs has me spending way less each year and playing way more.
Dude, i was about to call you stupid, but just listen. Last 4 AC games intentionally was made with grind barriers and selling customers time capsules. Don't you think they know how you are gonna play and never return? I almost sure, they gonna design their game the way you will just make yourself invested to the story to the end of month, pay for the second one and get back only to find out mediocre continuation and some cliffhanger to return to in the next month aka mmorpg treatment.
Ubisoft games already sales with over a 70% discount within the year of the release, why wouldn't you simply wait to play this mediocrity of gaming industry?
Never said I played Assassin's Creed, honestly I think they're pretty bad. Love Immortals Fenix Rising and it was a perfect, I'm gonna say rental. New Prince of Persia looks like a good fit for this too.
