Assassin's Creed Origins: DLC screens and date

Inscrit depuis 7451 Jours

I wonder what the conversion rate is for this kind of singleplayer DLC.. I know for multiplayer focused games it's on average only around 25%, which is a reason why EA tried a different model to earn something extra (and failed miserably, see Star Wars Battlefront 2)..

Maybe the industry just need to go back to proper addons, in other words make the DLC more rare and bigger at the same time, maybe then people are willing to buy them.. Nickle&diming them with to many DLC packs for 20 bucks is obviously not working.. Not that Ubisoft seems to care by the looks of it, because they still do it for every game..

Why are you assuming that older expansion packs had a better conversation rate than newer ones? And how much should those meaty expansions cost if $20 DLC is in the "nickel and dime" range?

I dunno, not my problem.. But if it were up to me we just got full games for 60 bucks and be done with it.. And the multiplayer games would have full mod support, dedicated server tools and map editors available again like we used to have on PC like 10+ years ago, so the community can make it's own extra content.. But that's never gonna happen anymore of course, because DLC and rented servers etc is so easy to make some nice extra money on for the industry, even if the conversion rate is pretty low.. Who cares it doesn't give us gamers the best experiences, it's all about the $$..

Gotcha.. just sounds like you're assuming there's a problem on their end.

And I totally disagree that the old model of PVP gaming on the PC was objectively superior. My clan paid for dedicated servers for nearly every Battlefield game until Battlefield 1. Do you know how much ranked servers cost? Like, dollars per slot, all the way back to BF1942. Just because the cost wasn't being distributed, it doesn't mean it was actually free. Then there's the notion that games were more "complete" and didn't sell you additional content, but games have had expansion packs nearly since the beginning of online gaming. Even the first Battlefield game had premium expansion packs.

Except one thing has changed: now we're getting free support for loads of games thanks to MTX models that don't have any real impact on gameplay. So that means years of developer support, 60hz dedicated servers (even for private matches), etc. at no additional cost to players. To claim that it's exploitative just seems terribly out of touch to me. Games like Rainbow Six and Overwatch have better support than the stuff that came before them.

I'm not boo-hooing the idea of meatier single player DLC.. I just don't think I'm as cynical as you are. That stuff exists. Platforms for modders exist. A lot of people just get right into Unreal Engine these days, which is essentially free on the introductory end. That's not a bad thing either.

This was one of the best games released this year, in my humble opinion. I can't wait to dive back into this world, with the release of upcoming dlc. My only gripe is they need to add more meat to the Modern World segment. It was a improvement, but could be more fleshed out.
