Popular Post IDiivil Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 Well, it is a (mostly) multiplayer shooter published by EA in 2017. I think I would have been absolutely shocked if the game didn't have microtransactions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly you shouldn't. I know its tempting but if you buy this game you are basically supporting them. Even of you don't buy the loot crates. Other people will and is making this the new trend. IT's unfortunate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YROSHIKU Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Welp I don't want to say anything but hey I guess we all known it's gonna happen, it's EA in the end. Plus they did the same thing with pretty much all their games in last years with this kind of bullshit MT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senbon Kaguya Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This was pretty much expected. I hate lootboxes but you know people are gonna buy into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvick_ Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 With the first game how it was, are people really surprised by this? Seems like natural progress to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 Not surprised at all. This is how most games are nowadays. That's not me defending it, because it can fuck right off, I'm just not surprised. Me, I was only ever looking to play offline and split screen local anyway. Outside of the odd MP match, I'm only here for the single player campaign, and the offline shit, ala OG BF2. So I'll manage. But honestly, you're kind of an idiot if you didn't see this coming from 16.2 miles away. That being said, I'll take bullshit ass loot crates over a $75 season pass like the first game had. Supposedly all the DLC for this game will be free, and I can get down with that. If you're gonna be dumping a steady stream of free content into the game for everyone, I think it's perfectly fair to ask for extra shit on the side from the people who wanna waste their money on it. I won't ever waste my money, but if someone else wants to, then fuck it. I'd rather have the odd guy waste $5 on an awesome gun and kill me 10 times in a row, than have a $75 season pass split the community up into the shitshow that happened with the first one. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Free DLC and increased support justifies micro transactions. If you can't see that, than that's your own hang up. Granted, Shadow of War won't have either of those things (typical WB at this point) so screw them. But as long as I'm getting something in return, I'm smiling ear to ear =) lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance_87 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's EA. It's 2017. It's a game with a large focus on multiplayer. Nothing to see here folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxie_M0us3 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) While I’m an anti-microtransaction activist to death, I can be fine depending of what it is about. I’m in the both sides of the medals: One side tells me that if those idiots buying those microtransactions support the developer (and the greedy publisher), they can give us all (who don’t spend a single coin) free contents unlockable right at updates. I think about Warframe, Rocket League or Overwatch who keep getting free contents (and trophies!) that bring me back playing them. The other side is, of course, how some features or some contents are restricted to us. It only goes fine for me when those microtransactions are purely cosmetics, not that they affect gameplay. Well, these loot creates in Battlefront 2 are affecting gameplay. And this bothers me a damn lot! Plus, the revelation of a true ending in Shadow of War, accessible via grinding or damn microtransactions teach us now how this trend has gone way too far and it is a plague to our beloved passion that is gaming! I will never ever contribute to this epidemic shitty commercial practice! #fuckmicrotransactions Edited October 9, 2017 by Maxie Mouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpepper1985 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) To be fair to EA there is no season pass for this one, so maps and modes that are added later will be free. This is the reason to implement microtransactions instead of a Season Pass and I'm ok with that kind of, like if the microtransactions were cosmetic only for example and can also be earned in game But they aren't, buying crates gets you power, but no I'm not suprised they have had lootcrates since BF4 Wasn't going to buy it anyway, just adds another reason. Let's face it the battle is already lost this ballshit is going to be in everything now, I bet AC: Origins will have them too, wondering if Wolfenstein 2 will manage to escape this trend. I'm not buying any game that implements this crap unless it's majorly discounted in a few years time / and the game isn't made grindy as hell because of them. There are enough great games still around and in my backlog, that do not pull this stuff that deserve my attention and money Edited October 9, 2017 by tpepper1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC: Origins is very likely to have monetized content. Wolfenstein II will only have a Season Pass with singleplayer side-stories.

Good news, despite the recent drama over the Creation Club from Bethesda you can't argue that they are far more consumer friendly than EA, Ubisoft and Activision at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YemmytheFerret Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I don't support micro transactions, but I will point out that this age old argument has been going on forever at this point, I remember when people were complaining about paying for dlc, I knew three people who didn't buy gears of war 3 because there was add on content. Then I remembered people complaining about season passes. And now it's micro transactions, once everyone gets their anger out they will just be the norm. I personally don't purchase loot boxes from games unless they are ftp like orcs must die unchained, but I won't miss out on a game because of them.

Cobby Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Pretty much every AAA game has microtransactions these days, it'll still sell millions, so they'll carry on doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boringname123 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Eh multiplayer shooter? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm more worried about the mega-transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 As long it's not pay-to-win, I don't think it's that big of a deal. If it's just for gold guns and flashy bullshit, who cares? In the meantime, don't overreact until we see what's inside the loot boxes. If it doesn't throw off the balance of the MP, then it's not as horrible as you might think. We'll wait and see.

If it doesn't throw off the balance of the MP, then it's not as horrible as you might think. We'll wait and see. Watch the video, it's pretty much pay to win. You buy cards that directly influence your power, there is no standard progression via gameplay (unlocking specific guns / talents at levels etc). Progression is only available with cards which you can earn by playing, or paying for them (from a loot box). If you drop 100 bucks on day one to buy card packs you will wipe the floor of any opponents that didn't do the same, if your not an awful player. Another opinion on someone from the beta: Yes it's beta, but that term is rather meaningless at this point. Beta in day and age means stress test / bugfix before we ship, maybe they will adjust the numbers in the system but at this point the game is done.
