Far Cry 5 has microtransactions, but they're cosmetic or 'time-saving' only
Well the good news is I get to keep uplay off my computer.

ubi has had micro transactions in all their games for 3-4 years now and it really is just not a big deal, it gives you random ass weapons and armor that there is zero point in buying and stuff like extra resources that'd take you all of like 5 mins to go farm. its really whale bait and you never need to buy any of it. maybe FC5 will be different but i doubt it'll be any different from the stuff in all the assassins creed, far cry 4, primal, Division, etc.

Agreed. Only buy games during Steam Sales though. So, $15-$30 instead of $60. Just got Witcher 3 finally plus all expansions for $25, I think. Awesome game. It'll last me until something like FC5 is on sale for 50%.

That's fine, and I haven't gotten any of those games. If i'm paying $60 for a game I want access to everything in it. Everything. Lower the price to 20 bucks or less and we can talk about cosmetics and "time savers".

For lack of a better place to put this, Vivendi's hostile takeover attempt of Ubisoft has ended. Vivendi has sold all Ubisoft shares.

Except now they're in bed with Tencent, and even at a 5% stake nothing good (for us) can come from that.
There is a something that block Tencent to get more. Tencent is known to only get small part of dev and make it easier to export game there.

It looks like Tencent owns pieces of several companies. I haven't read enough to know much about them.
For Ubisoft it's goodbye Vivendi, hello Tencent

I'm watching itmeJP stream this early right now, and he's super annoyed how he can hardly walk a hundred yards without some randomly generated NPC or cougar or bear attacking him.
Then this happened to his dog
and now he's stuck in a fail loop because he's trying to chase a helicopter on foot and when he fails it reloads to the part where the helicopter is already getting away.

What gets me the most is that they've decided a flamethrower is somehow an acceptable weapon to put onto randomly generated patrols. As if those things weren't super heavy, expensive and extremely situational in their use. AR-15 or flamethrower on your patrol? Clearly the flamethrower...
