Yes, an era when you payed $60 for a base game that had much less content then they do know, and didn't get supported for anywhere near the amount of time they do now either, specially free content that I don't have to pay for. And also? This is a gaming forum, most of the people have been playing games for decades, we all are from that "era", and we all know exactly what it was like. Take off those rose-tinted specticles, cus your memory seems off.
You get rewarded by completing a cooperative challenge with friends/randoms, sure everything is better the first time you do it but at least with raids the challenge is mostly the timing and execution, not the enemies.
It's an online game first and foremost. Throw your shade at the console makers forcing you to pay a subscription fee to play online games, or play it on a platform where you don't have to.
I mean, that's not why I play loot games though.
Sure that's why these games should offer multiple endgame activities
Class variety and build variety within classes is structured much more like Diablo, and seems to have much more depth than other loot shooters. The game is more ability-focused than gun-focused unlike Destiny and Division. The loot can actually affect your class abilities significantly. The game is structured around global difficulties rather than having a small subset of content for high level players to grind and making the low level content useless.
This thread isn't about EA's history with making a mistake with one game and fixing it immediately. This is a thread about Anthem, which has only cosmetic microtransactions.
Thats your take from the article? Or is it just a usual drive by?
this thread isnt about EA's greed./ go fucking make your own thread to bitch about
Okay, what's your issue with cosmetic microtransactions? Have you taken a look at Battlefront 2 in its current state? Battlefield 5?
It's a loot grinding game. You will be muting the music and playing your own before you know it :)
That'd be amazing if they could do something Bungie hasn't been able to do over the course of 2 games.
To be clear, they have not ruled out charging for more Javelins. I'm kind of confident they aren't holding any of those back though since they've mentioned in the live streams that they've only been demoing the Interceptor recently because it wasn't ready to be shown before. But yeah, basically, I wouldn't rule out them charging for anything that doesn't split the player base.
It will be my mission to make my javelins as eye cancer as possible.
Expansions are a bit different than getting nickeled and dimed buying an odd amount of fake currency $5 at a time to buy pieces parts of a game that leaves you with 20 leftover glimmer that you can't buy anything with. But I think you know that.
I'm a programmer too? We're both guessing here, and I thought the overall mechanics seemed too similar, and not that it has to be a bad thing but to me it shows how the game was assembled.
Nothing feels better than taking a moral stance against a game that you had no interest in buying
It is an ONLINE game, so it should not be shocking that it requires... PS+ to play. At no point in time did they pretend it wasn't online.
Premium currency is an issue but that's unfortunately the norm (for a number of reasons). I'm more speaking to the notion of "held back content", or games not being "complete" at release just because more content is on the way.
Did you ever consider, and this is just a thought here, that given the timeframe that MEA ended up having to be made in , and that senior devs had to be taken from other projects including Anthem, that they likely took decisions that had seemed to work well in other projects to add to Mass Effect Andromeda to get it made in 18 months? You are talking about design decisions, not code, and if you are a programmer, you should understand what saying that a game is just reusing stuff from another game means and how that's used to bludgeon game devs and harass them. You are saying things that you have no proof of and are just design decisions? And don't even appear to be that big ones either.
To be fair, Destiny doesn't require either for solo play, but no matchmaking, crucible, strikes, etc.
Thats happening alot these days on here imo. Like you cant be excited for a game and and almost need to defend it for being excited. Including PM"s.
class and builds arent loot. abilities arent loot. loot's effect on abilities being more significant than division and destiny would make it closer to Diablo sure, also not that hard to acheive. global difficulties also not loot.
