If you don’t have that sort of time, and who does, your different choice is paying over $700 if you’d like completely every thing within the retailer.
“In World of Warcraft, you would never try to unlock everything for all the characters of the whole game.”
Needless to say, this despatched the neighborhood right into a frenzy, prompting Ubisoft to remark. During developer Ubisoft Montreal’s most up-to-date livestream, recreation director Damien Kieken responded to the controversy, however his response solely made issues worse.
“We never had an intention for you to unlock everything in the game,” Kieken mentioned, earlier than evaluating the shop objects to what you’d have in an RPG.
