“So this is how multiplayer dies. With thunderous loot crates.”

The only good thing to come out of this is that this allows me to use this clip from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1:

I didn't realize that the men in tights song was a complete copy paste job.

the mobile gamers who are fine with pay2win mobile games over the past many years are 'graduating' to aaa video games, and since they're so used to cash shop shit they're okay with it in big games. it's only going to get worse and worse especial as more and more mobile games transition to big games.

i ain't clicking that

mel brooks carries over a lot of stuff from his movies

I am not clicking a kotaku link you stupid cock sucker. Why not post a pastebin

What purpose does Pastebin has on Sup Forums other than during the making of Sup Forums the Musical every year?

Fine.

Fuck off shill

>Being this new AND retarded
Just go back to neogaf already, it's obvious a corporate dick-sucker like you came from there

>>Give them ad revenue
How exactly is that bad?

No, I'm a regular user who just cited the first SWB2 microtransaction-related news article solely for the purpose of referencing a lesser-known Mel Brooks film.

Friendly reminder that the same arguments most people make about lootboxes and gambling could apply to gumball machines.

I'll buy it when its $5 like the first one was with all the expansion packs and DLC shit. I wouldn't justify paying for $30 for all of Nu-Front 2 and I certainly won't give EA $80 + whatever they'll ass rape players for with their "season pass" shit after that.

There is no Season Pass, they've already confirmed. Which just makes the microtransactions WORSE.

Just leave

So again, same recipe. Instead of jewing people for levels and new game modes, they'll just do it with skins, new characters, and *extra* premium loot crates.

you can be lootbox if play the game and game is good so no worry

That's the worst analogy. You buy from a gumball machine because you're passing through a gas station or grocery store.

Now if buying gumball machines was a thing then it would make sense but that's not what most of us do.

And each piece of gum are all the same. Same flavor, different colors.

Stop playing bad games.

Nothing about that sentence made any sense.

If you were actually a regular then you wouldn't have linked directly to fucking kotaku of all places.
If you were actually a regular then you'd know what purposes pastebin has on Sup Forums outside of Sup Forums the musical.
Instead you're some new faggot that enjoys sucking corporate dick for free, so go back to neogaf and never come back.

People buy lootboxes, but people don't buy gumball machines

Okay, since your all so iffy about ad revenue, here's a similar story from a different site:

Better?

>western trash

nobody cares faggot, this is a jap board. Fuck off

Go jerk off to your waifu pillow, loser

go *spends $100 on lootboxes* jerk *gets SJW trash shoved in his face* off *ending is DLC* to *browses r/gaming* your *purchases microtransaction cosmetics* waifu *removes all depth from games* pillow *buys yearly FIFA/CoD title* loser *shits up Sup Forums with another overwatch thread*

kys commie fag

gumballs are literally all the same flavor but with different color shells

You onow what your getting out of the gumball machine. Not gambling chance shit full of garbage like emotes or bullshit currency in Nu-battlefront.

...

why are you pretending the market is getting overrun with new people bringing this shit with them when core gamers defend this shit consistently anyway?

get adblock you fucking nigger

>western shit
>Buying an EA game regardless
fuck off

thread hidden

Imagine if instead of getting fun little novelty items out of those, that's how you had to get a shopping cart. And you had a 75% chance to get one of those little baskets that you carry instead of a shopping cart.

They're putting gameplay mechanics inside them. Want to use your jetpack as Boba Fett? Put 50 cents into the gumball machine and hope you get lucky.

This the future normies want

this is the future i want

>They're putting gameplay mechanics inside them. Want to use your jetpack as Boba Fett? Put 50 cents into the gumball machine and hope you get lucky.
Those are literally the tiny figure dispensing machines they have at the entrance of big box stores.

>site full of jew commies trash
>lol ad revenue is okay

sure

What are some microtransaction-free multiplayer games you are looking forward to?

>microtransaction-free
>Capcom
HOW

>Capcom

The game might be microtransaction-free, but it will have numerous balance issues and glitches.

In my analogy, I'm equating "going to the store to buy groceries" with "buying a video game to enjoy the gameplay". Gameplay mechanics like character skills are an important part of enjoying the gameplay, just like having a shopping cart is an important part of going grocery shopping.

It's not just a fun little item that ultimately has any notable impact on your purchase of vidya/groceries, like a parachute army man/gay pride flag battletag background. It's a vital part of the thing you went to them for to begin with.

ITT: mad poorfags

just keep on, while I will rule the space with my x wing

Monster Hunter has a long standing tradition of it's extra content being free, which is surprising for capcom. But I also won't be surprised if MHW is the game that changes that.

As somebody with a disposable income, I have to say you're probably an idiot who will buy anything.

seething

Pre-game, no DLC announcements or anything. I'm mightily impressed with Capcom and this game.

Post-game release however, Capcom and the game's director have said they want to add new content to MHW almost immediately as the game goes out.

Just be prepared, you may be eating your own words and faith in them yet.

equipment upgrades are also locked behind one

From the Wikipedia:
"Capcom plans to offer free downloadable content quests"
It's free, but it's still technically DLC.

>advertise the deluxe edition as the way to get in early
>charge $80 for it
>then come out with an even earlier release date but only for Origin Access™ users
>dick the people who paid $80 out of getting in first
>make people pay $85 if they actually want to get in first
>but you only get 10 hours in the game
>now we have fucking morons running around creating side-accounts for Origin so they can keep playing the game before the 14th, paying another $5 per every account
>on top of the retarded streamers dumping $100 on crystals just to "see if it's worth it or not"
The dumb boxes are fucking fine when even the cheapest box is guaranteed to give you 45 crafting parts and the first tier of any card in the game only costs 40. The real bullshit here is this fucking origin access crap, fucking unbelievable.

You retards will still eat that shit right up like the pathetic idiots you are.

WHO EVEN FUCKING USES ORIGIN?


Who is mentally sane?

Anyone who wants to play an EA game on PC?
So, nobody that's mentally sane

I'd literally use the botnet russian hacked zlorigin that's one giant virus before I ever used the real deal.

These anons are good people. If OP can't archive link than they are a two-faced shill with no morals barely making above minimum wage and sell all the plastic crap they receive from publishers on ebay in order to supplement there meager and hollow living.

Yahtzee, who only used it so he could review SimCity and Titanfall 1.
Still doesn't count as a sane person.

>core gamers
today's core gamers were mobile scum not 3 years ago

No, core gamers today are middle schoolers with shitty parents.

Saw some dude streaming and ran into one of the card-buying whales today. He had LE EPIC loot cards out the ass and killed him pretty much instantly.

i do not see any difference

I don't either.
