I personally don't understand the noise around "$70 singleplayer game with microtransactions" because:
1. A good amount of the people complaining about it don't even own the game or have never even played a single assassin's creed title.
2. They're completely optional and not spending on them doesn't change the experience of the game at all. They said it themselves, it's singleplayer. If anything, you're gonna be paying for over the top cosmetics that look out of the place in the world.
3. They're not visible outside of the landing page with news and the animus hub. Heck, I didn't even know the animus hub existed until I randomly completed a weekly quest. The "battle passes" are completely free by the way and are available forever.

I understand the hate against Ubisoft but sometimes it becomes so obvious when people just want to start spewing ♥♥♥♥ for the sake of spewing ♥♥♥♥.

[h1]Amazing graphics, buttery smooth performance, the world building and immersion is just insane. I'm glad they delayed and got the release right.[/h1] I personally don't understand the noise around "$70 singleplayer game with microtransactions" because: 1.
