essentially is the biggest machine on earth used for digging something that ubisoft has got pretty good at these days

ok, joking aside the game feature microtransaction, you can buy in game items and customization object, all of these were present in the previous game so its not the first time, but they expanded that way beyond that, you can now skip certain requirements to unlock item through the game, one of them being the ability to discover the hidden stuff you usually visualize by visiting sync points at the top of some building essentially skipping that part on the game

 

"helix credits" is the name of the in game currency, options from purchase range from 1400 credit for 19.99USD to 20000 credits for 99.99USD

wow and i though shitty performance coupled whit a bad game was bad enough, i guess they want to have the record for most greedy company in the industry, which are doing a fine job at it so, honestly i don't have to much to say, they are already shit, what else can be say now

 

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

I still do not understand how Ubisoft could be this fucking stupid. At this point it seems like they are just trying to piss everyone off.

read the article it say so though since i'm replying anyways, helix can be used to buy "hacks" that can be used to skip certain parts of the game, like the stuff in the second image in the OP

Ubisoft was doing such great things only a year or so ago. How did it go wrong so fast. They're not getting my money for FC4 or The Crew. No doubt they will be utter shit too.

Sadly, the majority of console gamers will think this game is the greatest thing ever.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Nope.

 

Anyone who pays for unlocks instead of earning them is a scrib whom I will never game with.
