Screwe EA! I’m renting it for SP and that’s it. I won’t even bother trying MP

andrewsquall2983d ago

I'm renting it too. If "renting" means never touching the damn thing like the first game and pretty much every other EA game this gen.

Enjoy playing with you and five others.

indysurfn2983d ago

Figures EDMIX would be the sellout of the lot. He is always defending MT's. There are fools all over.

_-EDMIX-_2983d ago

@indy-I have no plans to buy any microtransactions...

Mirdus2983d ago

The circle jerk continues, people aren't allowed to enjoy something that goes against their narrative.

10 hour trial with access should get me through the campaign... After that I don't need another shooter with massive pay mechanics

Chexs19902984d ago

They locked the trial access after mission 3 I think. So you can't complete the SP during the 10 hour trial

DaGR8JIBRALTAR2984d ago

Yep ends after mission 3......slick ass EA.

shiva12983d ago

Lol after completing all missions in SP its mission impossible 😀

THE Greed is Strong with this one....

EA:
YOu underestimate my powers...!

ME:
EA don't do it, I have the higher ground... I'll be forced to put you down, your killing the Star Wars Franchise.

EA:
Just Give me your wallet, I'll take what I need...

ME:
EA You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them. You were supposed to bring balance to the Game, not leave it in darkness, flooded with Microtransactions...wtf ..EA

E.A:
I hate you!

ME:
You were my brother, EA! I loved you.... back when you published Bad company 2 on PS3.. I loved You!.. But now I have to watch you burn on these rocks, as I can no longer support you, you have lost your mind with this greed.. ..LoL

Mastershake0072984d ago

"just give me your wallet.." LMAO I just imagined this as a skit in robot chicken...great stuff!

NarooN2983d ago

I lost it at "just give me your wallet!" 😂

EatCrow2984d ago

I'll wait till it's very low before ever coming close. If I ever do come close.

SierraGuy2983d ago

I want what the editor is smoking.

deerain2983d ago

way to make a stand :) if you don't agree with it don't buy it that's the only way to make them change their mind, that's what I did with Call of Duty when they kept bashing out the same old crap and I made sell less copies....... oh wait........

Godmars2902983d ago

You're...still giving them money. If you pirate it you're still telling them that its popular.

Enough people not buying the game while saying why they aren't buying it amid complaint about why people aren't buying it is the only way EA will listen, and even *THEN*, they will try to do something different that's similar.

Thank gosh it's satire or I would've said they deserve a giant kick to the nuts.

Dario_DC2985d ago

Oh man I had my pitchfork and torch ready and it's a satire.
On topic, it's a shame that EA holds the rights to so many popular brands and sports. I would like to see all these ip's in someone else's hands for a change.

GNCFLYER2984d ago

NCAA football please.. By another dev/publisher

chris2352983d ago

you‘re honestly believing any other company with such massive brands on their claws would do anything different with it other than monetizing the hell out of it? disneyland, much?

Dario_DC2983d ago

They might be a bit better at it, I would hope so.

strayanalog2985d ago

I was about to say EA does funny things to people, until I read "brilliant" and "EA" in the same sentence and forgot that comes with a sarcasm patch.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty7h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan10h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher8h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty7h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies122h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
