That's what the fanboys and haters don't get and always fail to see is that no matter who owns what they're winning because they chose for themselves at what they enjoy. Then each of the console devs is on top this gen in someway or another it isn't just about sales, exclusives or power. To a console dev they have there own agenda's and so long as it is working for them and they're progressing they're also winning.
So yeah the title is in fact tr...
Gambling doesn't need to be real life currency, casinos have many other games with many different none currency prizes up for grabs. The more variety of prizes on offer the more crowds they can pull into there games whether it's a car, bike, speed boat, caravan or holiday I've seen all sorts of gambling games without real money prizes.
What makes gambling gambling is addiction, enticement,agreeing to rules, trading off something that is yours for a chance at som...
It's not always skins though or just them.
Fortnite locks out weapon, hero, defender, survivor and trap schematics to loot boxes. You need those schematics to progress from zone 2 and up especially legendary schematics. To get a gold llama is very rare as well I mean you have to whack it 3 times for it to turn to gold. You can get schematics in rewards but not buy farming in the game, I mean they even have chests and safes in the game and when you open them you don'...
You can play games with trading cards or should I say power cards like magic the gathering that make it gambling, all you need to do is verbally agree to the rules. A whole graveyard could be yours in magic the gathering if players agree to the rules that cards that get sent to the graveyard are won by the player who wins the game. There is always a way to turn pretty much anything into gambling.
Was funny though and in some ways there is a little truth to it.
There are those that are spending everything they have at the time and gambling on a chance to be above others, so really while drinking and driving is dangerous it still probably offers better odds at one or the other in the way of life and death than actually coming out with something worth while on these games.
When you go to a casino, there are and they have games that can be played that arnt just money prizes you know. You will see all sorts just to entice you ie cars, bikes carribean cruises and holidays even a house for prizes, are you saying those who are trying to defend loot boxes that they are not gambling.
If something has a chance of a win it doesn't matter the prize it is exactly that chance that makes its gambling along with enticement. In fact because it's gam...
Gambling isn't just winning real money you know. Stop defending or trying to justify how wrong this is and how bad it's gotten.
This gen has completely become unfunny for many people because of publishers and developers greed. There tactics to make progression In games harder so then they offer an alternative in purchasing lootboxes that aid you in making that progression copable again is really taking the pee. Not only that but gambling entails chance and just beca...
(Inspired by smartphone free-to-play titles, the concept of loot boxes in traditional video games dates back to at least 2010)
I don't know where that came from but it's wrong apart from free to play titles, they certainly were not born on smartphones or inspired there that all started on free2plays on pc way before 2010. I would however say smartphones certainly raised the roof and trend making it virtually impossible to progress on a phone games at certain points ...
I learnt a while back not to buy into it anymore, wished I'd of done it in first place. Pubs and Devs however should be ashamed of themselves for such an aggressive approach to making money and the console developers ie Sony , ms and Nintendo should take a stance against it and stick by the gamer who keeps there consoles selling.
In fact saying that I think all 3 of the major console devs have show a lack of respect towards there fellow gamers and fans and if they said ...
The gamble is the enticement, the in your face approach and the locking of content in the lootboxes that makes gamers feel they have to open them, then there is the randomness and usually crap odds that your not going to even get anything good at all.
They're all starting to get into it, even big devs.
What is needed is a governing body that can stick by the gamer, one that is set up through law which can say no and by law can say no to these devs,pubs and company's.
I said at end of last gen when noticed it happening slowly that the industry is to unwatched, we need watchdog or something to apply pressure through the press and tv. When unregulated developers/publishers can do what they want wi...
Yeah well it is gambling and if you look at there definitions of gambling, if they used there brain they would be able to define that themselves.
As usual the morons come out the woodwork for ms. When are the idiot fanboys and haters actually going to shut up, move on and break the never ending cycle of bull crap they spout.
Instead of making stupid articles and throwing these comments out recklessly/blindlessly being all pro Sony why don't you all do the sensible thing and just wait and see how well the Xbox one X does.
I'm sure Sony or Nintendo never put a foot wrong in the industry, must...
That's true, but as always the fanboys will down vote because unless it's about something Sony positive they don't agree.
Fact is and what this was about is the trailer, very good in my eyes and loved how they did it.
Even when an honest PlayStation owner says what he feels about things he still gets downvoted from the Sony fanboys on this site. Its obvious it's them because he's saying he wasn't interested in a lot of the games apart from a few of his favourites, most likely a lot of the games those fanboys can't bare to hear someone saying no too.
Don't worry the guy didn't say he didn't like them he only found a few he enjoyed and that the other didn't ...
No I see no problem at all, apart from the same bunch of n4g pro Sony fanboys who do not like ms at all, saying the same idiotic things over and over again. Soon as Sony release ps5 it will be rite back to power and that will be the next turn in the never-ending circle rite up until it's back to exclusives again.
Xbox has tons of games, a very established console that doesn't need exclusives to survive, if it did, point blank it would of died by now and everyone wou...
No there shouldn't and it sickens me to think there is now..
Micros should of stayed put where they were born and justified which was free2play games. Greed is rife in this industry now through every level of developing and I've said for a long time this industry is too unregulated to the point publishers and developers are doing what they want.
Thing is what about the gamer, where is our justice in all this, truth is there won't be any till an independent governing body is put in place that is aloud to say no to publishers a...
I think you've let idiocy get to your brain way to much to make that statement.
I certainly wouldn't call the fact Xbox live has more subscribers than what Sony has on there subscription.
The Xbox is a very prooven console, especially in the fact it is a console that can live without exclusive, not that this whole exclusive bull crap you Sony fanboys keep throwing out saying it's the most important thing yet none of you were saying it till Xbo...
So people on the Sony side are trying to defend and justify a massive charge that exceeds 300 dollars while taking a stab at another driving game for loot boxes, either way its wrong. Not only is it very hypocritical but it reeks of fanboy all over lmaopmsrofl...
I mean come on it doesn't matter what console it's on,what game is doing it the greed is hitting a new all time high in every direction as of late. It is because of you idiots who do not wake up who have ma...
