Disappointed with this news for sure. They really should give something to people who suffered through this, free credits, something.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Imagine you're one of the ones stupid enough to pre-order this shit HAHAHA.

 

[AJUMP23]

What an

 

[diffusionx]

 

[Revolutionary]

That's a kick in the nuts for the hardcore SW fans that pre-ordered this.


But then again Disney Star Wars fans should be very familiar with the sensation of getting kicked in the nuts

 

[salva]

How does Massive or Ubi think it's at all acceptable to do this and not expect any backlash?!
They obv don't give a fuck, if they're cared one lil bit you'd be working to solve the issue before releasing such a shitty update.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Please tell me that this game had paid early access?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

If you continue on a prior save you will unfortunately face issues and progression blockers.

lol. Progression blockers. So not even a gamer who doesn't care about some graphics or audio glitches has to start over.

But that's a good way to boost hrs played per gamer ratio!

 

[lestar]

Then, my only worry about my game saves being deleted was my younger brother

 

[RPSleon]

Its a shame that this has to happen, but ubisoft is a new, small and inexperienced company, so you can see how these issues can happen with their games.

[digital_ghost]

Luke: I can't progress in this game!

Yoda: Use the Patch Luke

Luke: Thanks Captain Obvious.

 

[Bulletbrain]

”Why do we preorder? Just to suffer??”

 

[Shin-Ra]

Kind of the publisher to give you so many ways to fuck yourself.

Yeah, I was talking about Ubisoft but this method of self-fuckery wasn’t on the list.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I can’t imagine this. Get early access and then have to destroy that time cause they fucked up

 

[DryvBy]

I won't play until I can be in a wheelchair!

 

[pasterpl]

Ubisoft…enough said /s

 

[Madflavor]

Now this, this is actual proper *bullshit*. This news needs to blow up. Utterly ridiculous.

Seriously. People need to never let them live this down.

 

[Fess]

Reminds me of Valhalla, I bought some $100 legendary version then catched a save bug that kicked me back like 20 hours.

I instantly uninstalled the game and looked up the ending on Youtube.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I almost spit up my beer!

”Why do we preorder? Just to suffer??”

 

[The Cockatrice]

Keep buying Ubisoft products guys.

 

[Goalus]

Xbox doesn’t have to do this because no one buys Xbox games.

My immediate thought was that this is related to dumb delivery (PS) vs. smart delivery (Xbox).

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

UBI one of this industries shit stains.

 

[Duchess]

And this is why I will continue to wait at least 3 months before buying a game.

 

[Vroadstar]

You’re better off spending that cash on Concord instead

 

[Portugeezer]

That is straight up garbage.

 

[SJRB]

So if you dropped 120 bucks to play this game early your save bricks your game and you need to start over at the same moment the normal version is available?

Amazing.

I blame consumers for being absolute retards. They deserve it.

 

[Embearded]

This is bullshit.
They could have created a piece of software to make the transfer from the old state to the new one.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

FFS. The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Luipadre]

Thanks for your support with the 100 dollar edition - Cheers Ubisoft

 

[makaveli60]

Should have concentrated on quality instead of woke and dei shit.

 

[Matt_Fox]

They really should have delayed this game till November.

-Pro patch, could be marketed a PS5 Pro 'must have' launch title

-3 more months to remove bugs and performance issues (most review scores reflected this)

-Star Wars brand has been saturated (and diminished) by the poor reception of The Acolyte

 

[Randall365]

£120 to get fucked up the arse!

And we thought the main character model was the most perverted thing about this game.

Also - just call them ‘game breaking bugs’. These people are so obsessed with being progressive and giving puberty blockers to kids, they’ve come up with ‘progression blockers’.

There’s some poor sod - hundreds of pounds lighter, dripping in Acolyte merch and having sunk 30 wasted hours into this that’s losing the will to live right now.

 

[MALpractice311]

Ok, so, hear me out. Which collosal fuck up this year was worse? This or the Suicide Squad glitch that completed the game the first time you started it up?

 

[FeralEcho]

Shitty modern programmers coding a shit game in a shitty manner.

 

[Fake]

Welcome to modern gaming ladies and gentlemen, thanks to modern devs.

 

[mitch1971]

Glad I’m not playing till Friday

Glad I'm not playing til it's $5 and fully patched

Glad I'm not playing. The End.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Xbox doesn’t have to do this because no one buys Xbox games.

They did early access for Starfield (and had a couple million players playing in the early access window). That's just a new wrinkle in distribution now.

Going foo bar on the early access saves on PS5 is a quite the bug. Are PC and Xbox saves not effected?

 

[Esppiral]

Sounds like a potential sweet save exploit to me.

 

[Fake]

 

[ahtlas7]

 

[EverydayBeast]

PS5 is the odd man out

 

[King Dazzar]

Doing things the Ubi way.

 

[Aiken_Lugonn]

Wonder how the PR group will spin that one?

 

[Guileless]

Can't some EU regulatory body do something about this?

 

[Krathoon]

Wow. Way to go developers. I guess Early Release means Beta Testing now.

Yikes.

 

[SidViscous]

they could probably fix this without having players restart but decided the dev cost of save game migration isn’t worth it.

So remember how little worth they consider you before paying £90 for early access next time

 

[Krathoon]

They essentially made early access a total ripoff.

Man, I am glad I got the standard edition at a discount.
