While it seems the English lexicon is lacking a universally accepted definition (or Urban Dictionary, anyway), the phrase often promises nonlinear gameplay with vaguely defined objectives (if any), and a heavy emphasis on exploration and just sort of fooling around within the game world itself. What if there were a sandbox game, however, where the developer gave you the tools and the know-how to make the sandbox yourself? You can't do WHATEVER you want (sandboxes still need to be filled with sand, remember), but the size of the box, the grain of the wood, the Fisher-Price toys that will litter its surface... all these factors are in your hands now. Welcome to Minecraft, an ample offering from developer Markus Persson, based on the open-source project Infiniminer by Zachtronics Industries.
"The Vienna/Austria-based video games publisher/developer THQ Nordic and indie games developer Owned by Gravity, are today very excited and happy to announce that they have just released a brand-new update (update 15) for their strategy/RPG “SpellForce: Conquest of Eo” (the said update is available right now for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
While the standard $70 edition of the game may not grant access to the Day 1 exclusive mission, the Gold Edition priced at $109 and the Ultimate Edition priced at $129 both include the Season Pass.
If the content is ready to go day one, probably right to include it in the game?
DLC To me means the developers went on further to produce more chapters for the fans
Unless they finished developing and were sitting around twiddling their thumbs for months before release, I can’t see this is dlc
People keep defending this because it’s one mission out of probably a dozen from Jabba but it’s not the point, there shouldn’t be any locked behind a paywall
Ubisoft will do anything to kill hype for a game and hurt their own image in the process
The sad thing is the sales for this will be high, reviewers will give most issues they find the benefit of the doubt and Ubisoft will keep on trucking sadly.
Oops...they said the quiet part out loud....
Exclusive mission...Day 1...
In other words. Not early access. It's out day 1.
It's a bunch of horseshit. Some people enjoy eating horse shit these days but that doesnt make it any less shit.
Just wtf is ubi doing with this game lmao. God just let them release the game, then a story expansion about a year later. All these different editions and dlcs...
I know if the game is truly good then we could probably forget about the BS but I still think it's insane these publishers want to keep pulling stupid crap like this.
