So, anyone already took the plunge and decided to have a look?
Personally i'm interested, it is Star Wars and i welcome any Star Wars related content in my life though for now i'm a bit on the fence since, well it's Ubisoft for one. And what i mean with that is that i have this idea the game may look a lot like the last 2 AC games i played. Odyssey and Valhalla.
Odyssey started as a nice surprise, it was really a long time since i played any AC game, but after about 30 hours or so i lost any interest in the story and the presented game mechanics. Fighting became dull, exploring was not really rewarding, even with silly little discoveries and some nice hunting challenges. The story had some nice revelations going on, did not manage to engage my appetite, not to mention that dragon of a main quest....
This feeling travelled with me when i decided to try-out Valhalla after spotting a nice discount. I think i played for about 8 hours or so before i found myself with internal resistance against playing the title.
This might have to do something with my familiarity and maybe fondness of Bioware open world and story telling mechanics (though inquisition bleghhh). Or you could call it a preferred level of quality, i don't know ;p
What i do know is that i'm not willing to believe any reviewer any more on their word when it comes down to triple A tittles. So there you have it. A personal inquiry, on GoG nonetheless, where i'm part curious about how others perceive their newest library addition and part interested to see if i can find answers to my lingering questions.
One thing i'm not afraid of is the price btw. With CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 in the back of my mind as last open world experience i find more than enough grounds to pay a price of 70 euro's. Though, i do want to refine this statement that it is a bit weird to see Black Myth and Space Marine 2 mentioned in a same list as Star Wars. With their prices at 60 euros like who is Ubi to charge 70.... Of course EA will charge 70 too for their upcoming titles i'm sure of it but i guess i will take that hurdle when we arrive at that point. (note i do have FFVII and Forspoken bought at discounted rates)
To end, for now i'm actually not worried about buying it since Ubisoft maintains the stance that i'm not eligible to visit the store's check-out page, yes i checked, 3 times in the past few days. Not because i need and must buy that game but because i became a bit infuated with the notion that Ubisoft doesn't want me to buy their game.
the rest of the ubi connect store functions normal to me
