They have scammed too many people with their pay to win gambling mechanics. No one likes to play a game where you just keep loosing money on top of playing full price for the FIFA game. I hope 2018 is the end of gambling loot boxes/packs which are really manipulative and addictive. Best thing to do is not buy the game or kick the gambling addiction asap, you will save a lotttt of money and time.
Gaming industry needs to learn from the Witcher 3 developers. Full game should be ton of content, DLC should be free and acquired by playing the game, unlocked by doing challenges etc, this will prolong the game and get the community involved. Additional transaction should only be for full on expansions with a ton more meaningful content. Consumers are not stupid any more and developers should understand this. If developers want to introduce a Micro-transaction heavy game then the game sh...
Loot boxes and Micro-transactions need to just die from Video games. Especially if they cost $60. I was ok until they were releasing season passes for extending the game like old school battlefields. Now its just getting ridiculous. Its doesn't even feel fun to play games because you either get a half baked game or you get a game that increases the grind so much so to push you to pay with real money. It all feels like a big scam. No one likes to get scammed and bamboozled.
Only way for EA to stop or for other greedy publishers to stop is for the regulators to step in and put an end to all this high way robbery. Consumers need serious protection from predatory pay to win gambling practices, especially kids. I cannot wait for the day the legislators and regulators step in. Ohh the look in EA's face.
EA is one of the worst companies around. They are scam artists and doing highway robbery everyday in their sports titles thereafter trying to pushing their predatory pay to win gambling mechanics on to other titles like Battlefront 2. Corporate greed has completely taken over their souls. Government regulators dropping the hammer on them coupled with consumers boycotting their products will be the only way they learn now..
Serves the company right. Hope they take notice, gamers are not going to take their shady tactics anymore. 2017 was the peak of loot-boxes/Pay-to-win/gambling mechanics that involve real money. 2018 is going to be the end of this practice and any publisher that tries to pull a quick one on their consumers. I for one will boycott any game that has pay-to-win mechanics with gambling lootboxes & packs etc. that involve real money. People need to understand that this practice puts the pu...
What about EA and Fifa Ultimate team - Packs are similar to loot boxes and they directly affect game play. They should be the first ones to be looked at.
First off, they need to give everyone who bought PS3 games on PSN, free streaming for the game they already bought. The $20 for basic is fine but should be cheaper for plus subscribers, like $10 a month. Also, there should be a purchase option when if someone wants to purchase a PS3 game, they should get free streaming access after renting or trying the subscription. This can become a major revenue stream for Sony but they have to do it smart. Consumers dont want to feel cheated. Sony sh...
I have bought GTV, FIFA 15, Dragon Age, Advanced Warefare, Far Cry 4, Smash bros Wii U, Halo collection(Xbox one), and last but not least Destiny. I bought all digital. Guess how much time I have spent playing all games besides Destiny. Total around 6 hours. Guess how much I have been playing Destiny...enough where I don't have time to play anything else. Anyone who says crap about Destiny has not played the raid with friends. Its the uniquest thing to play all of 2014. Don't g...
Assassin Creed....broken, Master Chief Collection....Broken, Advanced Ware-fare....No dedicated servers, Drive-club....broken but slowly fixing. The only game that actually ran smooth at launch was Destiny. Yea it has bugs but still it ran flawless since its an always online game. Bugs can be patched, broken games need to be refunded. I am having doubts about the Division now..
Once the dust settles after all the new releases, only then they will realize Destiny is the only game that tries something new, is very addictive, has the best FPS game play, has amazing art and game design and will only get better. This video is spot on and they didn't cover the amazing raid. All reviewers should re-review the game since COD, Assassin creed and the rest are pretty much boring. How do they get a 9/8 while the games are pretty much the same, fully bugged and no dedicat...
I bought the collectors edition yesterday, will try it tonight. Got Destiny as well...there is something about Destiny that I can't stop playing it. Has to do with the loot, though its system is a bit broken, getting or needing the next loot is very addictive. Wish this new Call of Duty has a similar loot needing system. Truly prolongs the reason to play.
Well what is the point of playing video games in general. You buy a game, you enjoy it and then move on. You hit level 30, you can wait for Bungie to release more content, raise the cap and keep playing. Whats the point of playing COD, Halo besides passing time, playing with friends and getting some entertainment. You pay for the entertainment and then you move on. This game is not supposed to answer your purpose in life. As with all other games and MMOs, there is not light in the end of...
Destiny is very similar to Halo, in terms of shooting mechanics, game play and style. Halo gets 9s, 10s but Destiny gets 6? Where is the logic? Destiny has additional gaming mechanics such as looting like Diablo and Borderlands. Diablo and Borderlands get 9s, 10s but Destiny gets 6? Doesn't make any sense. Then there are the MMO aspects of Destiny where the game gets more expansions and content over time, similar to World of Warcraft, FFXIV without the monthly subscriptions. WOW an...
I dont care what any reviewer says, this Game is off the Hook!! I cant stop playing it and it keeps bringing you back. Don't listen to the stupid reviews, try it out yourself but hit level 20. You will see what I mean.
I don't get it! Why are gaming websites giving Watchdogs which was complete garbage, very repetitive, boring story an 8 or 8.5 but for Destiny they are giving it a 6????
Destiny is a hard game to review, similarly; its hard to identify its genre. Is it a MMO wanna be, an FPS, etc. The way I see it, it takes from many games such as Borderlands, Halo, Warframe and a mix of Diablo. Nonetheless, its a game based on experiences. When I started playing Destiny, it felt a bit repetitive. However, I got to play with friends and it turn out to be something completely different. There were so many different experiences one can get from Destiny that it will not pla...
I own all consoles, PS4, X1, Wii U, PS3, X360 etc. I will be honest, I play the Wii U a lot even though I love my battlefield 4 on my ps4 or playing Forza 5 on my Xbox 1. The feeling you get when you play Nintendo games is completely different, it immerses you an amazing world. I dont know if it is the characters, the colors they use, it keeps sucking me in to play their games. The Wii U is an excellent system, I love it but maybe its not everyone's cup of tea. Those who say bad things...
I hate F2P because you will never own the game or your purchased content. Everything is all over the place with the F2P model. How about give me a game like GT5, I pay the full price and then you add the online for free. No wonder they made $1 billion in three days. Take note Capcom!
Don't know why they changed the battle formula from the first game. The first game was amazing. This one didn't stick well with me. Don't you know the saying "when it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
