Loot boxes

>Loot boxes
>Card packs
>Season passes
>Map packs
>Coins/Credits/Virtual Currency etc in exchange for real money to get you to buy shit because they purposely made the game a boring grind
>5GB+ day one patches
>“Premium” editions that let you play the game a few days early for an extra $40-$50
>Early Access

Can't a man just simply sit down and play a video game these days without dealing with this shit?

What are some good AAA games from this gen that don't do any of this garbage? Because I feel like they deserve some recognition

Prey, maybe.

>Good AAA games

Nier Automata.

Tarodrones sure are quick.

Shark Cards
Runic Points
Pay2Skipgrind "Don't worry you'll totally be on par with paid players if you're free as long as you put in 200 hours a week :^)"
Permanent bans for being "racist", even in offline singleplayer

Literally only one of those things you have to directly deal with. The rest you can ignore.

Ahh yes just ignore it! Don't worry that blatant nickel and diming is negatively impacting our games, just ignore it!

I like these doujins

From least cancerous to true cancerous:
Nothing>>>Map packs>EA>day 1 patch>Season pass>Currency>Premium>Loot Boxes>Card Packs

What is the "free" game with the biggest grind? I want to hate myself for about a week.

Warframe

>day 1 patch

This really only affects if you are a major retard though

>Permanent bans for being "racist", even in offline singleplayer

Unironically name 1 game that does this.

Gems of War. Good luck!

What the hell? What game are you referring to?

So does EA

Runescape

Welcome to crony capitalism

Literally no game. He's either pushing an agenda or was a super retard who doxxed and threatened someone's life

I'm sure you didn't leave out costume DLC by accident.

No idea if this is still the case.
But back then, Gunbound is ridiculously grindfy if you went f2p.
I remember playing it for a year but still couldn't buy a complete set of armor.

from left to right or?

wat
those are some severe assumptions you are making there buddy

Why would you even play for that long?

Then just play the game and ignore the cancer you fucking retard.

Shitposter, who contributes nothing to thread topic actively insults someone who for providing their relevant opinion. Go play some video games, faggot.

Yeah I want to ignore the cancer by playing games WITHOUT the cancer

because back then, people actually have this little thing called longer attention span.
You idiots spend plenty of money to buy a game but you couldn't even sit and play for a week before looking for another new game again.

"Just live your life and ignore the cancer ripping through your anus".

If only it was that easy...

I put thousands of hours into fighting games and Monster Hunter. But it doesn't take a year to get a SINGLE set of armor.
