Earlier this week we reported that someone on Reddit had worked out that it would take two and a half years for casual gamers to unlock all content in For Honor, or cost over £700, and Ubisoft has issued a response to this via a recent weekly livestream, one that seems to have only exacerbated the situation.
In the video, For Honor's game director Damien Kieken said: "We never had an intention for you to unlock everything in the game." He then went on to comparing these to items in RPGs, adding: "In World of Warcraft, you would never try to unlock everything for all the characters of the whole game. Same for any MOBA, you're not trying to unlock all the content for all the characters in the game."
Kieken also said that the design is based around players using one of the three characters, and the design is based around this idea, with the cosmetic items being "the end-game content: the things we want you to unlock after playing for several weeks," for Ubisoft.
How did the community receive this response, then? In short: not well. One Reddit user called antoseb said that the response was basically treating fans like idiots, before swearing off the game entirely, and another user called JMSpartan23 posted an equally scathing retort.
Do you think Ubisoft's response was appropriate, or was it always going to upset the fans?
Thanks, VG247.
