I miss games where you could just click on a store and buy specific stuff that you want to upgrade your character and stuff and not having to open a loot box to get new stuff completely luck based, of course with very small chances so that you pay extra money for it and if there aren't microtransactions, you still have these shitty loot boxes to stretch out your play time. This is so fucked up these days.....
Latest Need for Speed opened my eyes how much we are getting spit in our faces and most people don't even care about it. Who had the idea, in a racing game, to replace cool, good looking car shops where you could upgrade your cars, the way you want, with ugly, stupid looking cards which you can use to upgrade your cars... f'n CARDS and not only that, when you want the good stuff, you have to get the upgrade cards in a random loot box..... In a racing game..... I can't wait for the next video game crash, it only get's worse and worse and worse these days..... (Yeah with exceptions, but still...)
The worst thing is that most people accept this shit cause they begin to getting used to it, there are small exceptions like BF2, but mostly people can't see, or don't want to see how bad some of these games are designed these days cause "Hey, they are still fun so why complain about it", right?
