Want this skin ? well is only 1.200 gems ( you can buy 800 + 400 gems pack for 8$ + 15$ OR you can buy the 1.500 gems pack for 25$) Or you can gamble your money on the lootboxes that are 400 gems a pop by the way theres another 14 items in those lootboxes that you probably dont give a fuck about so Good luck! ah and before you leave also thank you for buying the seasson pass.

who the fuck is buying all these? kids with mom's credit card?
I've not met one person who regularly buys lootboxes or $20 skins

This isn't true though.

The game ends. They were planning a sequel but Capcom said they weren't getting the budget for one, so they instead made a rushed, small expac to try give the IP some finality.

The "dlc" is pretty much a cobbled together abridged version of the last act of the planned AW2 they were barely given permission to make.

dota 2's compendium was disgustingly greedy this year

it's just keep fucking going holy shit

This shit is why I quit playing Smite. The whole “buy a season pass” thing got overly complicated and basically boiled down to “feed us money and maybe you’ll get some shit”

Fuck hi res
they just fucking sit on tribes and do fuckall

oh come on there was like 10s of niggaball!

All season passes are like that you basically pay for the privilege to unlock stuff and if you dont wanna grind just throw a bunch of money on top of the season pass price.

KF2 is getting some true cancer. They want us to pay $10 for 1 weapon. This is after specifically saying they wouldnt do it again after the KF1 fiasco (where you got like 4 weapons for $5 or something) and why they justified adding microtransaction introduced in EA.

To be fair there were plenty of morons in our generation that did the same for rare physical collectibles such as pokemon cards

>rare physical collectibles such as pokemon cards
>physical collectibles
>physical
Theres a big difference

A physical collectable is at least something you can own and it's value is dictated by the market rather than by just the sellers

>this was in the European trailer
>right after they ruled that it wasn’t gambling

I think they are gloating

They don't give a shit at this point. They know fags chained to the 2k franchise are going to buy the game anyways and add numbers to it's community eventhough they made it for only a handful who will actually gamble. Its a win-win for them.

Imagine a game where you can microtransact while in-game. Health low? No problem that will be $0.20 for full health recovery.

Back to the days of coin-ops.
I didn't like arcades, man.

Right but at least it's quality printing that's nice to look at on stiff card that's nicer to handle than most paper meant for scribbling

This pic is part of nu-mkultra that

Eh, is there really? At the end of the day, it's still something you buy to look at and pretend that your ownership of it makes you superior to other people.

>and pretend that your ownership of it makes you superior to other people
Project much?

Apex Legends and Black Ops 4. Does anything else even come close?

But you get to keep it till the end of time not till the servers shutdown plus you cant lose it if for whatever reason you get banned from the game which to me puts the ownership of digital goods into a gray area.

Wasn't fallout 76 pretty fucking bad with microtransactions? it was like $7 for a super shitty outfit that was ported directly from fallout 4

Also mundane shit like door mats and window styles

Right now I'd say it's Siege
You've got the lootboxes, you've got the premium currency, you've got cosmetic skins(The only one I can support), and now they're doing a fortnite style battlepass

>tfw chums with the dungeon keeper

Oh and I forgot the YEARLY season passes
Season passes were one thing, but Siege has you buying them PER YEAR

Yeah but at first it was just cosmetics, so whatever

They've backpedaled on their "no gameplay-affecting" purchases with the hero clothes and the repair kits, so it's just another fuck you to the pile

league has been doing passes every month for about a year now. it's getting obnoxious
there should never be microtransactions in a full price game cosmetics or otherwise

Default/Mastery Bellona is already cute, so why would I spend money on that skin?

Not to mention that the rarity and value is entirely dictated by the developers without a proper trading system. This is part of why I excuse tf2 for having similarly expensive virtual items, since they're value comes directly from how much people are willing to pay for it rather than from an arbitrary price tag put on it by the developers.

Rainbow six siege

Where the fuck do i find the original dungeon keeper?

You are like little baby watch this.
>Just buy every fucking thing for Odyssey 2016 to get this skin

Attached: T_Thor_T5_Mech_Card.png (388x512, 244K)

Now hold on, is it actually $180 or is it "you can earn it through other means but to get it instantly you would need to buy credits that amount to $180 worth"?

What?

GOG?

Nope, you can only earn 2 of the lootboxes in game

And you need to have all the items before you can even purchase the axe

Yes, you need to have bought 12 lootboxes before you have the option to then buy the axe

dmc5 selling weapons as DLC disappointed me the most

who can fucking beat him

They were EAs bitches from the start.

The odyssey is gone but the new event for the T5 skin is still very expensive and at first it was all lootboxes

GTAV released a casino after the hearing, of course they are

You gotta spend $2,000 minimum to "Unlock" everything in call of duty Black Ops 4. The thought of that gets me every fucking time.

Want this skin ? is 75$ + tip and Remember to buy the Seasson Pass

Attached: T5 Bellona.jpg (600x338, 41K)

Yeah it's really soured my taste in it

I loved it at first, but they rolled out all the micro and it's my biggest purchase regret of the past few years

And the objectively good weapons being in the lootboxes is extra cancer, fuck that crossbow

It doesn’t even look good.
Fuck.

Black Ops 4 has battle pass, pay to skip battle pass tiers, cosmetic direct purchases, and lootbox exclusive weapons. Also DLC/season pass.

Japanese whales drop that kind of money monthly to get the newest characters in mobile phone games, when I think of that it doesn't even bother me any more.

Destiny burned me hard with that
>PAY AN EXTRA WHOLE GOOBER TO GET THE SPECIAL SUPER FUCK YOU EDITION WITH ALL* THE DLC
>*all the dlc included in 'season 1' so 2 small mission packs and 1 larger expac and that's all, faggot, buy our sequel

garbage game. pvp was fun in beta but as soon as retail dropped everyone used meme loadouts to OHKO people

Planetside 2

i hate destiny, i like the game but why the fuck do they make you pay for every single update, the hell?

The last game you played that didn't have microtransactions now has microtransactions. How does this ruin it?

To get the chance to purchase the axe you needed to spend ~$200. By playing the game/earning shit, you could bring that down to about $170 or so. Then the axe was like $35 itself.

Good for them, even with free to play games I never buy shit. I always like to say "They fucked up giving me the game for free." but with Black ops 4 I can't even say that.

Just like the Prince of Persia reboot, the DLC existed because the game didn't sell well enough for a sequel, but they were still given the means to end the cliffhanger.

The most egregious thing for me is that it was the start of their new gimmick of adding shit in some time AFTER release so the early reviewers can't warn people away from it.

They KNOW most people despise this shit. But they can't stay away from the money and resort to sneaky stunts to get their cash train.

It literally is, I remember when everyone was begging the industry to follow TF2's example.

I don't mind if the microtransations pay for the content for "free" also GTAV and CSGO.

>furniture and doesn't respawn

Very plausible

>dabbing this hard on Nanny State UK

It's not fair that they can have this but Pokemon has to get rid of fun slot machines and roulette with no real money involved

Tribes was garbage, arbitrary faster movement mechanics are shit
But in general yes fuck hi res they always take good stuff and then fucking ruin it later

Fuck the people of Yea Forums for tolerating the bullshit that is the earth defense force DLC
Whenever you call them out on it they just try to suppress the issue

>Sekiro Shadows Die Twice

Despite being an activision published game, I surprised this game isn't pozzed to hell and back with micro-transactions.But I guess if they wanted to add that stuff in they'd probably make the OP shit like Mortal Draw and Zen State $5.99 to unlock and then some of the bosses like Headless and highly coveted items like Divine Confetti might be locked behind a paywall.

For all we know there'll be severe attention to this and they'll have to hurriedly roll back this slot machine shit before it even comes out

But probably not, sports games get away with an awful lot of bullshit just because they don't get as much attention as shooters. Still don't know what they were thinking with putting in literal slot machines in this climate though

Was meant to link to

Yep, this is by a wide margin the most cancerous this year
What the fuck they aren't even trying to hide that they are exploiting gambling addictions now

>Still don't know what they were thinking with putting in literal slot machines in this climate though

Literally the only people who gave a shit were the UK, who are now going into government shutdown, and the EU, who will never do anything

>near a tomato
Probably just revives or some shit
Or slutwear outfits for 2b

>who are now going into government shutdown
Wait what?
I can't say I am surprised to hear that place having problems but what happened, is it do do with that brexit stuff?

I suppose you are referring to smash didn't that game released with all previous characters ? and what any of that nonsense have to do with weg ?

The dlc weren't even chosen until after launch
and you are getting not just a character but new music and a stage and spirits but honestly the low quantity of spirits per dlc character is a bit of a disappointment, for dragon quest especially

The actually cosmetic only MTX in smash are the cheapest around at less than a dollar

It occurs to me you probably couldn't get away with that song these days, or more specifically the dancing leather girl in the background

This is just embarrassing. The NBA and Adam silver should be ashamed of how a game that’s suppose to promote the NBA is opening flaunting slots and fucking pachinko in a game rated E for everyone. The GTA Casino is just as callous but at least that’s a mature game for a mature audience and is apart of the RPG experience. How is pachinko and basketball a thing? Shameful.

The reason why I quit smite honestly

is that the crimson chin?

It was more of a spend $180 ish dollars on lootboxes to be able to buy it for money type of deal.

Underrated post.

Any TCG

Smash DLC is fair. If you wanted to pick something actually shitty, you could've gone for the BoTW season pass.

>Check smite after not playing it for a while
>90% of those skins are locked because they are event only
>Skins that you get are either really old recolors that don't do anything or some new pay 2 win shit that costs over 100 bux.
Why would they ruin such an amazing game with such trash business concept?

this isnt an actual microtransaction since you can only earn spins in this machine by playing/winning basketball games.

I think he means back when items would drop, duplicates could be broken down and remade, and the entire market was based on trading in scraps for items you wanted, or buying the item instead of buying a lootbox for the chance.

And then, they added crates, and about 70% of all drops are now crates.

>bike lags the game

if this was released today, you mongs would consider it an egregious blatant literal casino targeting infants

I know this was bait, but c'mon, can you try a *little* harder please?

everything you wrote is accurate about nba 2k20s ball drop system

Don't buy it then.

Yeah but botw was a shit game to begin with

And you get a better chance of winning those basketball games with the pay to win characters from the lootboxs
And it's only there as a feature to try and lure in gambling addicts who would otherwise not buy the game so they have more whales buying lootboxs

Except that entire game was a single payment

Well luring in addicts and also creating addicts to make more whales out of your existing playerbase. If you get your players who don't buy lootboxs to develop a gambling addiction they might be more open to the idea of buying lootboxs

You're a stupid retarded nigger faggot.
