Single-Player games with microtransactions; screw that

With the inclusion of microtransactions in Devil May Cry 5, one writer talks about why he's against the controversial practice in single-player games and why enough is enough.

Just another reason am forever loyal to Sony and there single player games. 🤗... So far we keep supporting them , we will all be fine.

Eiyuuou2789d ago

Something tells me you weren't really interested to begin with. Call it a hunch.

Jinger2790d ago

If ya'll dummies want to pay to progress. Go for it. I'm sure some people would love that in Dark Souls games haha

I aint touching that with a 10' pole. Does the author know that these MT's were also in the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition?

Eiyuuou2789d ago

And also, to a lesser extent though, in the reboot.

Jinger2789d ago

DmC had them also!? I didn't even notice that. Most not have been intrusive then.

Eiyuuou2789d ago

Indeed they weren't really intrusive. I said to a less extent because of the way it was done.

Lo and behold:

william_cade2789d ago

Don't give FromSoftware any ideas XD They did it right with Dark Souls (1,2,3)

Jinger2789d ago

Right? haha

$9.99 for 50,000 souls!

Kashima2790d ago

Losers will still buy them that why the companies will keep adding more microtransactions since it's easy money for them, oh god i miss ps2 era, i'll pick the game when it's 19$ on sales no way i'll pay full price

ArchangelMike2789d ago

Yeah, I'll pass on the game entirely. Since they have built the game from the ground up with microtransactions in mind, it means the gameplay will be deliberately skewed towards it. You will inevitable get some sections that will deliberately be harder, or require more orbs than you would ordinarily get from just playing the game. In other words, the game is designed to screw you over so you end up giving in and purchasing the microtransactions just to progress.

"losers will still buy them"
Yet you openly admit that you will still support the game when ever it goes on sale.

If you don't support the practice of loot box's, then don't support the game at any price point.

You guy's who bitch about MT'S yet make excuses about why you still bought or plan on buying these games, are part of the problem.
If you want MT's to go away then stop supporting these developers.

Relientk772790d ago

Microtransactions and loot boxes are trash, keep them out of games.

ArchangelMike2789d ago

Pay extra money through microtransactions to save time playing your game? I have an even better idea, I'll just save even more time by not buying the game in the first place, and have the added bonus of not spending any money on your game.

Jim Sterling said it best https://www.youtube.com/wat...

This practice really has to stop. We don't believe the lies anymore.

Eiyuuou2789d ago

Or you could just take a 'wait and see' approach? I'm quite confident that at release it will be proven that all your fears are for naught and that the MT's haven't impacted the game at all.

Just because a game has them, doesn't mean the game has been built around it.

Highlife2789d ago

You need to stop. Mt's are terrible. They are destroying gaming. Simple things that were free are now paid. Or you have to grind for an insane amount of time. Stop being an apologist.

Eiyuuou2789d ago

Not an apologist. I don’t like MT’s either.

I just prefer reasonable thinking over blind hatred.

Quote - "Just because a game has them, doesn't mean the game has been built around it."

That is categorically false. Please read the article before commenting. Capcom confirm in the article that this game is specifically built around microtransactions. They even detail how they decided what skills would be cheaper and what skills would be more expensive.

Quote - "I just prefer reasonable thinking over blind hatred."

Nobody has said or done anything hateful in this entire thread. You've just made up and imaginary straw man argument. More importantly your reasoning in this instance is 'blind' because the article clearly is about how Capcom explain this game is built around microtransactions. Read the article first them 'reason' from an informed position.

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel1395d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits395d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire95394d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay395d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1395d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter395d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name395d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Niiiiiice. Now use some of that profit to make Zack and Wiki 2 for Switch. Get a remake of the first one first atleast.

tinchotin2292d ago

That's the franchise you want Capcom to revive? LOL

AriesBear2292d ago

I think some people just make stupid requests because they think it's cute.

BadElf2291d ago

Loved Zack and Wiki. Yes

Edito2292d ago

I wish they put all the money on Dino Crisis..

Smokehouse2292d ago (Edited 2292d ago )
