Worse or not, it's your decision to waste your money on it.
Yes, gambling literally is spending money for a chance at more money definition you turds. If real money isn't involved, it is just a game of chance.
Can you win real money in loot boxes? No? Then it isn't like those things and it isn't gambling.
No, it isn't gambling and their argument makes perfect sense.
You're buying something that has no real value. Whether you get a standard item or not epic item... there's no difference in the real world.
Like they said it is like buying cards. Gaming cards or even sports cards when they were a big thing. I remember buying packs and packs of basketball cards as a kid trying to get certain cards. No one called that gambling. It is the same thing...
You're right, blocking a full game is MUCH WORSE than blocking content.
Yes there is a ton of stuff going on in these movies and I won't act like I know everything. There are certain anti-war parts that come up, but the whole series is not an anti-war story, which this article is basing its premise off of.
- The article tries to bash the game for violence? LOTR is filled with violence.
- The article tries to bash the game for its system of building an army? LOTR is filled with that as well. Sauron's Army is constantly getti...
Terrible things happen in war, so just because those things are written about/shown doesn't mean it is an anti-war message. Otherwise wouldn't all war movies be anti-war simply by showing destruction and death?
The argument that LOTR is anti-war never made sense to me. Yes, certain factions like the Hobbits are anti-war, but basically half the story is warring going on. Gigantic battles throughout. Wars against evil, wars against each other. Orc armies, Elf armies, Dwarf armies.
So like every other game once you dump a large amount of hours to it, there's nothing new to do?
I guess I never have understood the Approval system. Valay is the only person who approved it, he gets 4 votes because he is a vet or something?

I've never bought a MT in my life as I said, publishers aren't taking advantage of me. They take advantage of lazy people. I'm fine with it usually.
No, you're changing my premise Liquid. If Witcher 3 added MT, but the game otherwise was the exact same....
Why would you care? It harms you in no way.
25 pages to browse? Really?
And if Witcher 3 added an option to let you buy materials with money.... you wouldn't be hurt and the game would have been the exact same for you.
So stop complaining. Shadow of War MT don't affect your experience. Stop your complaining.
Complain about Battlefront 2 for pay to win. Or NBA 2K18 since they have a massive grind.
But Shadow of War is different. There's no grind.
Not all games cost the same amount of money. Big titles cost more now. Big titles back in the day used to cost more as well and they had higher base prices.
Not sure what your movie studio thing has to do with this. Ticket prices have been going up. They aren't stuck at the prices they were 15 years ago. Studios do have ways to nickel and dime you anyway. Multiple releases of movies. Merchandise is bigger than ever. Things like that.
That's his opinion, just because he says something doesn't mean it is the final say.
Inflation is a fact. It affects everything. AAA games cost multitudes more to create. How exactly do you think they offset that at the same $60.
There's a reason why the base price of games hasn't gone up last gen or this gen. It is DLC.
I love micro transactions and I've never purchased any in my life.
I'll repeat it every month. Without these extra money makers, the base price of games would be $70 or $80. They are the reason why games have stayed at $60 for several generations.
So I thank the rich people who blow money on this crap to keep the prices down for the rest of us.
He keeps repeating it over and over in all kinds of threads, just repeating misinformation.
N4G please change your rules and get rid of this drivel.
Lot of hate towards Sony when no proof or even details have been provided.
