Fubuki Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I can't believe some people are actually defending this. Honestly, I don't think it's a bad thing you bought this game. It's only bad if you buy the microtransactions. Im only cancelling my pre order because I don't want to pay money for a game that has loot crates. That's just my personal opinion. It's a fact you shouldn't buy microtransactions. It's basically gambling and some people fall for it. It's their fault for contributing to it, yes but the developers are also to blame. I get developers need money but I'd rather pay for map packs and no microtransactions than have a game with microtransactions and free map packs. That's why I'm cancelling my pre order.

Lance_87 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) In other news, the director of AC: Origins confirmed that all content can be purchased with in-game money... however there's a currently deactivated "e-shop" to purchase it using real money. LOL. They aren't really clever... Edited October 9, 2017 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one cares if you are cancelling it, just cancel it allready instead of whining about. While me and 10 million others will be enjoying the game and what it has to offer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syumisan Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I hate when games have that system honestly. Its just like "Pay $100 to get maxed stats a rummage through everything". Whhaaaaat? If games are meant for *children* pre se, parents aren't going to have their child buy *in-game* stuff they will never physically own. I mean, I have a lot of games....I have a daughter and I wouldn't want to pay *$60 and $100+* just to be a decent mark. Games aren't like they used to. Play the games at the harder difficulty and unlock modes or costumes that way.... Damn games went.....*wild* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aZombieDictator Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Total biscuit made a video and brought up very good points. As of now it's a pay to win system. The perks you get from boxes are crazy powerful. You can even get 100% invulnerability while using a jetpack or like a 60% health increase with the skills that come from loot boxes. So people that buy lots of boxes will have really powerful skills. Sadly people will buy into this and spend tons of money on the loot boxes. The rich people, kids, and YouTubers are gonna spend enough on the boxes to warrant keeping them around. I just hope that government and ESRB will get involved like how total biscuit said. We have a T rated game that has a gambling system. Edit: oops didn't notice someone else already posted this.

ShadowStar83x Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I remember this was mentioned at E3 and from the loot boxes in the beta, I'm not shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not surprised considering that we are getting Free DLC and Maps. EA has to pocket that extra change from somewhere. I'll still keep my pre-order and try to play the game without the transactions even though that is an unlikely possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSHIRT64 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wow all this childish heat in this thread over micro-transactions? This is a forum, therefore people of all types are going to have an opinion, that does not mean get upset over a disagreement to your opinion. Anyway to the micro-transactions piece.. There was once a time when everyone thought DLC should be free.. You are not forced to pay for the micro-transactions to enjoy the game, they are there if you want the added buff. Why not look at it as a challenge to not use the transactions and get good at the game? I also saw someone in this thread mention "Its a fact you shouldnt buy micro-transactions", why is this fact? There are micro-transactions in almost every facet of technology these days, this is nothing new and will become more and more the norm. Just enjoy a game for what its worth!

Popular Post BlindMango Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 C’mon guys, we keep getting reports on flame wars in this thread, we’re talking about micro transactions here, not politics 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 "The tyrant Parker" is sick of deleting posts in this thread, since the OP can't keep his own thread on topic, this one is done. Parker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
