No, a broken game that you can't play at all would get a 0. You can play SWBFII... But you'll have to pay another two grand to unlock all the content that you've already paid for, or spend a couple of impossible thousand hours in one game to get it all... Maybe.
3/10 is fair.
Another clickbait, shill review of a game that alienates it's customers through pay to win and extreme grind/easy pay level progression.
Try again, Mr. Article writer. Or are EA paying you too much to tell the truth?
No, but there's about £70 of day one DLC instead of adding it to a three year old game...
Tough. Stand up to your bosses or leave them and form a publisher that doesn't suck the blood from it's games and customers.
I'm sure if you quit, many decent publishers will snap you lot up anyway. Dice have a great reputation... EA do not.
Same here. I hate when big companies sell me a game, then decide that I want to pay to win. I hate decisions like that being made for me.
I also hate being told that I can't play a Star Wars game because it has a shit progression system tied to paying because I decide not to be a dumb sheep...
Don't laugh... That's Microsoft's idea for GaaS.
Unlockables only please. Need to teach these bastards that we won't tolerate MTs at all after their flippant move to try and ruin gaming for cocks in suits.
The message is this:
Microsoft are going to try and go full Games as a Service. Everyone else can enjoy gaming that doesn't target their wallets every 5 minutes.
The hope is real, and so is Microsoft's hope to empty your bank accounts by selling you rehashed, yearly, online only, full priced games with MT's, lootboxes, ranking up linked to payments made, season passes, lazy DLC and selling you your console in 5 separate parts in the future.
...
Yes Apocalypse, but the problem with these MTs is that they also come with a slowed down progression system, making games less fun...
The entire point of games.
I played WWE 2K18, and the speed at which you progress absolutely kills the enjoyment. It doesn't have MTs yet, but it was definitely set up for it. Lootboxes that cost 10000 VC that contain moves, attire parts, boosts and even haircuts... You earn 600 VC tops for a twenty minute match and it ...
@Jinger
I would consider bragging about paying for skill and having the money to do so, more elitist than just being a normal gamer, who y'know, plays games.
Because online gaming needs to go back to basics. Earn your skill, don't buy it. It makes an unfair playing ground in what should be earned, not bought.
If you don't have time to play, don't play. We could do without the mouthy, lazy players that brag without any effort into actually working for their rank on the leaderboards.
Do you know what they're going to get? Do ya?
So still making a pay to win game...
You haven't listened at all EA, only the big, fat, slack-jawed whales seem to get your ear.
2K are doing the same though. Their models for NBA and WWE 2K18 (the latter aiming for MTs and slow progression next year by the looks) are pretty much pay full price and grind or pay for the 'shortcut' to being good enough to compete.
It shouldn't just be EA all this rage is focused on, it's anyone who is pushing games as a service. EA, Microsoft, 2K, Take Two, Blizzard, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros Interactive so far.
All of these...
In the exact same boat here fella. Been gaming since Centipede and Qbert and totally disgusted at the way a usually fun and relaxing hobby is turning into something resembling a never ending slot machine to pay for rich guys to get richer, just to find new ways to make us all poor.
Yes, this is not the game you're looking for...
I don't care for this either. Pink Stormtroopers running around with rainbow blasters... Nope.
If it's cosmetics, make them ree unlockables as an apology for trying to make us out to be gullible money monkeys. Go back to old school gaming where costumes were rewards and full, worthy expansions were DLC.
The laziness of selling cosmetics for cash is absurd. Modders can make new attires and such in a matter of hours. Make them work for our money, in...
But, in a way, it is. But you can at least swap cards with friends, sell them on Ebay or just make a couple of collections.
Microtransactions offer none of these benefits, and you're stuck with what you get.
But is it still a mega grind?
Edit: Ahhh, MT's to return at a later date. Still fuck you EA.
Edmix... They're reintroducing them soon. They only removed them temporarily, until they decide how much they want to shaft people for when the fire has died down.
Of course it's fine today... Have you not seen the uproar over the past week?
Temporary... Remember that.
