Anyone else feel the same? I wish Assasins Creed came free with Stadia.
Project Stream and Assassin Creed Odyssey absolutely made this a first day purchase for me. I beat Odyssey in that beta time period last year. I do wish I got it for free for stadia instead of steam because I haven't touched it since.
I played 20+ hours of AC:O when testing Project Stream, and after that they gave us a key to be claimed through Uplay. It's a great game though and you definitely should play it ![]()
i definitely played more than a 100 but since I didnt log in after they made the offer to give it for free, i didnt get the game. i emailed them about it but no dice on that one. My achievements are on there though so at least that.
I agree
percent.
Seems like a missed opportunity here, honestly I would’ve rather have had ACOdyssey in my library of games than Samurai Showdown.
Definitely a missed opportunity. For all of us that got the PC version for free from participating in the Beta, why would they expect us to buy the game again now? Especially when it's an older game now and the NEXT AC will be out next year. Should have been one of the Pro Games provided, or AT LEAST it should have a DEEP discount for the Ultimate Edition that's being sold. Most of us who activated the game that we were given for playing Project Stream have already completed AC Odyssey. I can't see myself buying it again.
Does anyone know if progress from Project Stream will transfer if you buy Odyssey on Stadia now?
my grief is that the version they gave us after the beta is locked to Uplay which only works on Windows... if you're a Mac user you're SOL! Would be nice if they could transfer the unusable version into one that can work!
@tithefug thanks for the update - and now I can't remember if our Stream progress got transferred over to Ubisoft or not, so I'm not sure how excited I should get...
Found the email:
Please note that your game progression and premium items from the Project Stream version will carry over to the free full PC version. However, your stats, achievements and unspent Helix Credits will not transfer.
But I never activated the PC game. Would be so cool if they managed to sync them - but I probably don't mind starting from scratch, we shall see if I have the patience to wait for them!
@Deleted User,
I had activated it once it was available. What was even better was that it became available via GeForce Now on my NVIDIA Shield TV. I've been playing there, when I get a chance.
Agreed, but there is currently a sale for $30 through December 4. For the amount I have played, and will be playing, it was worth it... for me. I'm still only playing on the GeForce Now, as it is linked to my UPlay account, and can load saved games. I did not complete the game (probably only about 20% of the way through. I enjoy the side quests too much, and only get to play a couple of hours a week).
@tithefug It definitely is a great game! I "finished" it, and I still play it A LOT. I bought the season pass since I got the game for free from the beta. I put "finished" in quotes because there's still so much I haven't done yet, and they add a little bit of new content all the time.
I wouldn't buy the $30 version on Stadia. If anything, I'd go for the Ultimate edition they're selling for $60. The expansions to the base edition are good enough to make it worth it. But MAN... I don't want to re-buy something I got free and then bought the expansion for. It feels crazy, lol!!! I'm waiting to see what the Black Friday sales look like. Hopefully they are REAL sales.
BTW, I am seriously considering the Mortal Combat 11 Premium Edition. They have it on sale for $62.99. So far everywhere I've looked, $79.99 seems to be the low price for the premiere edition, and it's $89.99 some places. So that seems to be a good price. But again, I'm waiting to see what the Black Friday (and Cyber Monday or Christmas) sales look like. Keeping my fingers crossed for some good sales for us Founders and other early adopters.
@Xevioso thanks for the heads-up - Shodown isn't really ringing my bell, had not seen the MK release. Checking it out!
@tithefug wow - great insight into the AC marketing strategy there, did not realize they extended to so many platforms! I can dig it - and I did purchase the Ultimate edition last night: just having the option to play through that one game to observe this platform build itself out is worth the $$s dropped imo.
@Deleted User, I contacted Ubisoft Support, and this was their response. Not looking good. I'll probably start again, maybe choose the other character, and potentially go for a warrior instead of an assassin.
Hey there!
Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Customer Support. I apologize for the inconvenience however any saves that you have saved via the Uplay Launcher will be available only via the Uplay Launcher, it will not transfer over to any other platform. You will have to start anew via Stadia for Assassins Creed Odyssey, it will not interfere with your progress on other platforms.
Additionally, Customer Support cannot speculate about potential game or content releases. When details become available, they will be posted on the game's official forum at http://forums.ubi.com and the Ubisoft blog at http://news.ubisoft.com.
Best Regards,
Anita
Ubisoft Support
@tithefug thanks for the update - re-starting as the other character is what I did, and I'm 3-4 levels beyond where I was when I left off. Still having fun. Still can't kill the **bleep** pig lol.
point is: I have 120hrs on my PS4 pro. I don't really need another 30fps/4k Version in the game. I would have played it, if it's 60fps.
ps. couldn't edit my entry, sry. ![]()
