Shadow Of War Dev Tries (Fails) To Justify Loot Boxes
Devs get to do these interviews unchallenged. Well…
Play on PC. Use a trainer to modify the in-game microtransaction currency. Win.
Easy.
i like these king of videos but i really liked the Kickstarter ones alot too
I’m willing to bet all my boglins that smell funny this was WB’s doing. Seriously no indication of microtransactions then then this out of the blue? #Monolithisinnocent #WBwhyyoudothistome?
You know what? I’m calling it. They’re going to put in lootboxes that contain the privilege to purchase certain types of lootboxes you can buy and every week it resets so you have to buy those privileges again.
JUST DONT SUPPORT THIS GAME END OF!!!
I don’t know if anyone has ever said this but thanks you for using Deadly Premonition music, always brings a smile to my face.
I was certainly going to buy this game, day 1, but as time went on, I’ve leaned more and more toward skipping it. I don’t buy for a second that the game will be balanced for players who don’t buy loot boxes. They’re going to make it just frustrating enough to where you’re being not forced, but heavily encouraged to buy them. You’ll be nudged to buy just one, and then just one more, and so on. Yeah, you CAN go on without throwing extra money at them, but it’s going to almost feel like you’re being penalized. It’s psychological warfare. It’s disgusting, and absolutely anti-consumer. Another couple of years of them seeing just how much they can get away with and it will be the same as mobile gaming.
So, not only are they NOT getting extra money from me, but now they are very likely not getting ANY. Yeah, they’re going to survive without my money, but if only when enough of us speak with our wallets will it change. I will have to think long and hard about buying this game.
I can’t tell you how many games I’ve played that was ruined because of microtransexuals! Yes they were mostly free to play games on the app stores but that shouldn’t matter. Most of these games get so hard that playing them for free becomes damn near impossible without forking over real money. I am afraid that paid games are going to fall into the same category some day.
here’s a microtransaction that looks like an apple.
Can someone asks these dicks ‘hey Witcher 3 was the one of biggest medieval style RPG’s of all time, and didn’t have microtranscations. No one complained they didn’t have time to play it and would rather pay to finish the game. Looking at a bigger game (in length) like that, why did you feel MoarDollars needed it?
What I dont get is ppl defending this. I have played tons of F2P MMOs and other Multiplayer focused games that have Microtransactions and everytime you can feel how they restrict the player just enough to create an inconveniance that can be remedied by their cas shop items. But still there is a distinction here: The game is FREE!
Do I mlike being nickle and dimed? No but I can somewhat accept it in a game I did not have to pay for. If the game is fun enough and the cash shop not too bad its fine.
I have seen the change from full games comming out and games with expansions to DLC. And I kind of came around to the idea of DLC because most of the games I like either made good chunks of meaningful content OR cosmetic choices that I could ignore. But over time the chunks of content became smaller and smaller.
This was most felt in franchised games where you could see from one releas to the next how the price stayed he same but certain features suddenly vanished at launch, just to reapear later as DLC.
But I was never interested in the current shooter or AC or sports game in the first place so it just made sure that I would keep ignoring these game anyway.
I never understood mobile games liek we have them now. For me a moblie game is just a time waster I play to keep my hands busy. I used to play these kind of games free on flash sites 10 years ago.
Now they are locked up and restricted to 5min of gameplay per day if you dont pay? What sense does that make? Why do ppl waste hundreds of dollars on bejeweled? Or on pokemon style games where you cant even control anything in combat?
They basically made shitty little games and made them even more shit with ransoming their meager content and ppl lap it up in spades.
And now big fucking publishers make their own games shit not just puting micro transactions in them, noo they put the mother of all fucking shitty micro transactions in them.
This shit is fucking straight up gambling.Its intentionally designed to get you adicted to gambling for fucks sake. And yes ppl compare them to TCGs not gambling but you know what? TCGs are fucking gambling too! FOR CHILDREN!
/rant
I miss fuck konami news. Wish they would fuck up more often lol.
Guys, guys, guys. I could tell you about the backroom politics but… I’m gonna just spread my ass and shit out this greasy log instead. Hey, hey, hey! Don’t move, I need to make sure this lands on your chest. You don’t have to partake but just know that the shit is there. If you’re not happy, look at these other folks I’ve shit on. See? Some of them are DEFENDING my shit. It’s totally optional but you have no choice. Now smile, I gotta shit out this collector’s edition.
I would love for microtransactions, loot boxes, etc. to just dissapear from any games I pay for… A free to play? Fine, makes sense. A $60 game? Hell no. That kind of thing almost made me NOT buy Deus ex mankind divided.
If people think their apparently limited spare time is so precious to the point where they’re ready to pay to advance in a game (hey, maybe voting to remove the tedious grind would be a better move), why are they wasting it on video games? I have a rather time-consuming job and I play video games, but you won’t see me bitch about how the developers should focus on making games that only I and people in similar situations can enjoy.
We have to make our 10 hour game stretch through 100 hours of play, but we know those 90 hours are a waste of time that has no place in the game so we let you pay to skip them! See? OPTIONS!
What happen to just cheat codes and god mode.
I fucking despise the argument that some people don’t have much free time so micro transactions is good for them. As if we didn’t already have a way to skip through parts of a game that doesn’t cost money. It was a little something called cheat codes!
The idea of paying to skip parts of a game is not only insane because you’re basically asking me to pay not to play your game, but you’re also charging money for fucking cheat codes! This is why I hardly ever play modern AAA games. I can’t stand this shit.
