I do agree that Nintendo's influence is relevant to the quality of these games, but at the same time, I feel that's a bit unfair to Ubisoft. When they don't try to rush out too many large games or have terrible monetization, Ubisoft games are generally pretty good. Outside of maybe the cash-in, casual launch games they sometimes put out (and even the original Rabbids Wii launch game was one of the three Rabbids games people actually like).

Also, Beyond Good and Evil and Rayman Legends are two of my favorite games, so that's also a point in their favor.

So if it reviews well I'll wait until the digital version receives a steep discount, $30 or less.

I think I'll follow your strategy here, I'm not in a hurry to get any new games anyway since I promised myself to clear my backlog of owned games first (especially try to get into XC2 one more time).

@kkslider5552000 I generally like a lot of Ubi games, but I recognize Ubisoft's core problem is indulging their studios' over-ambition without tempering it with reality, leading to a bloated mess of features that aren't fully realized or implemented, too many features bloating the experience, and ultimately putting the whole unpolished thing out the door because time and money ran out. The game concepts are good, but they generally intend to do way more than they actually can do, and that is evident in the actual game. Watch_Dogs is probably the poster child for the problem.

Since there's no polling in place yet, can anyone that comments after me leave an capital O in parenthesis or brackets if you're fine with the 12.75GB, an capital X if it made you lose interest in the game, or an capital I if you disapprove of the 12.75GB but you're still willing to buy it anyway?

You don't have to reply directly to this comment and you can talk about whatever you want on the game, I just want to see something like this, ''P.S. (O)''.

To be honest, a little more on don't care side? (and also that idk if it's possible or not, but didn't Wolfenstein 2's size changed from when it's on the store page and when it's released? And that's how the cartridge download made sense iirc)

But I'm going to buy the digital deluxe when Ubisoft did a huge discount, I think the game has a ton of potential so...

@darkfenrir Either Ubisoft used a 8GB cart or the digital game total is around 19GB. Given the XB1 version is showing as 16.32GB, I'm leaning towards the 8GB cart option.

@Grumblevolcano Whelp, in that case I'll say then that really sucks then. The physical version is already so expensive :V

Nonetheless if I'm buying I'll grab the digital deluxe- much better option and add the fact there won't be any import price with that.

@Elvie

(O) for me, I was getting the digital version anyways, it's by far the best options for the game.

The game looks interesting. But to be honest, I'm a little burned out on the Toys to Life gimmick. Two Disney Infinity games, 2 Skylanders games, and far too many figures for both mean I'm tired of having to buy accessories to play my video games. At least Amiibo are generally optional.

Do you need to buy the ships and pilot figures though?

No. Game is fully playable without the toys.

Then I might look into getting this game. Cause as I said, I've been burned out on the whole "Toys to life" gimmick.

@Tsurii @FaeKnight let me quote @link3710 to be complete. It's also explicitly stated on the website's FAQ.

@toiletduck You've got several options, all of which let you beat the game with no additional purchases:

Digital Version - 60$, has 5 starships, 7 pilots and 12 weapons without buying any toys. You can either get the remaining content digitally (price TBD) or buy the toys, or just play without the missing content

Digital Deluxe - 80$ has everything - 6 starships, 10 pilots, and 15 weapons. No toys needed at all.

Physical Starter Pack - 75$ - Has the game, the Controller Mount, the Arwing toy, Fox McCloud Pilot and Mason Rana Pilot figures, the Shredder, Flamethrower and Frost Barrage Weapon toys and Digital versions of Zenith Starship and Shredder weapons.

Digital Collection: For 60$, you can get all the digital content missing from the physical pack.

@Tsurii yeah that seems to be the case. I guess that's why most people in this topic seem to be opting for the digital (deluxe) version.

The more videos I watch and the more I read, the more interested I become. I really love the art style (somehow I'm more intrigued by games that look a bit 'comicy' than realistic looking games), music and voice acting. The story and gameplay look solid and the local co-op could be more than a nice little bonus. At this rate I may not be able hold up until the inevitable price drop.

Somehow in the eShop (Netherlands) the starter edition is € 79,95 instead of $ 59,95 and the Deluxe edition goes for € 99,95. Why are these games 25-30% more expensive here? Am I missing something?

Edit: same is happening in the Playstation Store.

@toiletduck Yeah, apparently European stores are all selling for a far higher price than American ones for some reason? It's not just Netherlands.

Anyone happen to know if the digital pre-purchase will be playable at midnight, or if we’ll have to wait till noon on Tuesday?

I don't own many games so the large file size doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. In addition, I never really tried out a T.T.L. game, unless you count the typically tacked on Amiibo functionality in Nintendo games, and considering that this game is trying to do something new in a dying video game genre/market, I would like to see how it could succeed and the impact of that.

If it is successful, maybe Skylanders would make a comeback or Nintendo would base a game around Amiibo (hopefully Nintendo figured out that Amiibo Festival was a atrocious way to utilize them) or at least implement Amiibo better in standard games by not giving us access to minor in-game items like costumes or power-ups.

(O).

@Ryzaerian According to the Nintendo eShop FAQ:

The game will be pre-loaded to your system at the time of your order. You'll be able to start playing it after downloading a small update, beginning at 12:00 a.m. ET on the game's release date. (Please note that some third-party titles are not available until 12:00 p.m. PT on the game’s release date.)

So either 12 PM ET or PT it'll be unlocked.
