there is Nintendo so they will save the crash again since they are not doing that stuff

But but but... Microtransactions doesn't affect who doesn't purchase it.

He did eventually bend the knee though... I mean... TECHNICALLY

And you don’t have to buy them. I have a light level 305 (current max) Titan, and I haven’t spent a dime on silver in the game. All the microtransactions have zero effect on gameplay, and it can all be earned through bright engrams; if you don’t have patience, that’s what the MT’s are for, but only an idiot would actually do it.

You clearly haven’t played it. I’ve yet to buy a single microtransaction and I’ve got so many shaders, I’m constantly having to dismantle them to make room for more. Once again, those microtransactions are strictly cosmetic, ie stuff that doesn’t affect gameplay. All weapons and armor have to be earned through gameplay; there’s no other way of getting them. Calling D2 a $60 expansion is literally no different than saying every Halo that features Master Chief is an overpriced expansion to Halo 1. Yes, Bungie’s system is very fair.

1. DLC for Destiny 1 & 2 are no more expensive than any other game and actually offer MORE than most. New weapons and armor. New MP levels. New story content. New Strikes and a Raid. Raises level cap. Most other games only offer a map pack with 3-5 MP maps and a couple new guns. So I wouldn't call it overpriced at all.

2. Charges $60 for an expansion? Thats interesting. I haven't been able to find ANY of the content from Destiny 1 in Destiny 2. None of the story. None of the maps. None of the same planets. None of the same exotics (except for 2 which have been changed a bit). Its all new. The only thing is the graphics aren't much better, and there are very few new enemies. But that hardly constitutes a game being called an expansion. Not when the game launched with far more content and everything is new.

3. Shaders are now one-time use. That is true and it sucks. However, after a week or so of playing you have more shaders than you know what to do with and it is a non-issue. Also, most shaders can't be collected through MT's. Only certain ones that you find on the regular through normal gameplay anyway.

4. All MT's are for useless cosmetic stuff that you will most certainly get through normal play. All this talk about XP scaling has little to no effect. I only play on Friday and Saturday nights for about 3-4 hours and I earn 2-3 bright engrams each time. You can then dismantle items you dont want for Bright Dust and use it as in-game currency.

There is nothing wrong with what Destiny 2 does as far as MT's or DLC. You aren't forced into any of it. In fact you WILL get it all over time without spending a dime. If MT's must exist, and lets face it, they aren't going away, then Destiny does it the best way possible. Nothing is locked behind a paywall and nothing is locked behind an impossible progression system.

@ Cordogburlar please please dont do this

the DLC offer more than any other game..... REALLY Witcher 3 says HI, also just because you are starting from point B back to A does not make an area new

2: the enemies you fight are the same, VEX, taken, Cabal, fallen etc
3: why remove something you offered freely in the first game to now charge for them are you guys really going to try and spin this as some sort of positive
4: if they are so useless why include them, let me guess to offer players " pride and accomplishment" ( i know its not a qoute used by them but

there is something wrong with Destiny 2 MTx, it removed things that were in the first game and is now trying to charge players.

Nah. I just tell the truth, and it upsets the hipster snowflakes who are just hating on something because they think everyone else is doing it.

Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.

Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?
