Shills and drones.

Times change. What was a scandal yesterday is the norm today.

>Sup Forums is one person

Horse armor wasnt cosmetic, it made the horse harder to be killes by enemies

i still remember the day this horse armor shit happened. people on slash v slash were talking about how there were like 20 torrents already with the horse armor and they were all the same virus

You have to understand that Nu/v/ has grown up with this shit. They do not know of any other reality and cannot understand premicrotransactions.

That's why when EA or Blizzard or Nintendo cracks that whip, they reply "Yessuh masta."

And no I won't reply to you children.

>2017
>paying for mods? outrageous!

Did anyones horse actually die to enemies,mine never did until i got the unicorn and he was insanely aggressive and murdered the city gaurd until he was eventually put down

Also from the shit we've seen pulled (microtransactions that are not only cosmetic but make the game easier and give you an unfair advantage) cosmetics seem pretty tame.

they are fine. dont buy it if you dont like it u dumb commie

i just paid a thousand dollars for a monocle in star citizen, ama

yes goy, just sit idly by while we ruin vidya

>Sup Forums is one person meme

Because it's gotten so much worse that what was outrageous back then is so minor now.

little by little, bit by bit, that's how the minds of the cattle are molded

Like this massive faggot here.

But you explained it OP, it all started with a trivial thing like horse armor that should have been in the game to start. Now its the full blown DLC cancer we have today. Go figure it was a western company to poison the game industry

If only we could turn back time and push back harder. Nip this shit in the bud.

To this day I can't get over how bad the horse armor looks. The fuck is with all those banana-like metal plates near the back?

if its fully cosmetic, then why do you care if people buy it? is it affecting your gameplay?

>Go figure it was a western company to poison the game industry
gacha games are the driving force in Asia and have been for decades

>less than 5% of games have cosmetic skins
>ruins vidya

It also broke Shadowmare.

>fanboys
>retards
>shills
>etc

of course it's not ok that games have this shit, but Sup Forums is full of crap

Not him but that's literally gambling, not the same thing. Those games are built around spending money to begin with, they aren't additions to the game, they ARE the game.

There is literally nothing wrong with cosmetic DLC unless the game itself encourages customization with tons of skins and the best skins are premium only.

The real problem has always been cutting the content (usually the story in single player, maps and modes in umltiplayer) into pieces to double dip the players.

Hate Horse Armor for opening the flood gates, but technically "Horse Armor" itself, the DLC, wasn't the worst thing to do.

but if anything western games took that and implemented it, not the other way around

If Sup Forums likes the game then DLC is okay. Look at the jewery with DBZ and their list of DLC characters.

Why

But I don't like Rainbow 6's monetisation method either

By this point, stockholm syndrome.

Normalization in action.
First "it's just cosmetic" then the excuse is "you don't have to buy it!" amd finally you end up with an entire generation of tools that doesn't know anything better and defend shitty practices like the little corporate fanboys.

I never even used a horse, outside of escorting Martin. I forgot you could even ride them. There's no point to having horses in a game where fast travel exists.

can someone quickly explain star citizen to me? It sounds like a game paid for by rich people and only played by rich people. It had this huge budget but I barely see any news about it yet it still is making cash. I don't get it.

Silly landlovers

If I don't give Tripwire shekels they won't give me maps and weapons.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not going to live long enough to see how fucked up the future is going to be.

It's fine if the only microtransactions are cosmetics.
Because I don't need to buy they to enjoy and experience the full game.

I think horse armor may have started the trend of shitty tacked on nickel and dime DLC, but I personally blame TF2 for the cancerous microtransactions and crates, and stores and shit that infest 99% of multiplayer games today

you said it didn't matter, but now that shit is even in singleplayer games...

We grew up

That was a fun day. I so rarely get a chance to just cut loose and shit post like that.

>Don't release anything
>Backers are now your defense force so they can feel justified in their thousands of wasted dollars
>B-but one day!

it was a scam
they violated their contract with crytek too so the project is now officially ded

I have always been ok with cosmetic microtransactions.

Why use Siege? I thought you could farm for everything there

Because its gotten so fucking bad that I'll take horse armor over $15 on disc dlc that is locked until you buy a key.

>germany already tested RFID chips with passive GPS that are to be implanted mandatorily under the skin across the EU
Only for white people.

And it will only take you about 20 hours per operator! What a steal.

My favourite is the people who say "WELL ITS SUCCESSFUL SO THAT MAKES IT OKAY"

I mean you aren't wrong in a capitalistic sense, but capitalism doesn't give a shit about what's good or bad, just what sells.

I think for most people who buy that shit it is the only way they can experience the full game, like, people play multiplayer games to look and be better than everyone else, now, instead of leveling for 5 years and grinding for that sparkly god armor you can just spend 5 dollars on the flaming dildo hat of faggotry

>the RFID chips then become hackable and we truly become cyberpunk

That always been the case with f2p games, is either p2w or pay to skip farm

I like what creation club offers. The creations in Skyrim alone are better than ESO. Brink, Prey and the evil within. Would u rather Todd just produced more shit tiny weird side games?

Siege costs money, it has DLC operators and cosmetics on top of that.

There was this cum drinker who posted screenshots of his Mankind Divided microtransactions just to spite people. He alone made Squeenix more money than 10 complainers who """only""" bought the base game.

Why should publishers give a shit? This is not a fad, this is not a phase, this isn't going away anytime soon. It will only get worse and worse until you die or until there's another vidya crash.

I think people realised that they don't have to buy horse armour if they don't want to. it's still bullshit though

>*We grew up with this shit and now accept it as normal
Fixed for u

I've bought horse armor several times. It's the cost of a fucking drink and it has voiced lines, unique textures and functions. Tell me what's bullshit about it

What's the range of rfid in id cards?

I pirated it multiple times :^)

how does it feel spending money on something, but I got it for free?

It's always Jewry but when it's cosmetic it's not something i care about.

It wasn't even encrypted, anyone could download an app to scan for people

>Tell me what's bullshit about it
You paid IRL money for FUCKING horse armor you stupid shit.

it's because oblivion was single player. i didn't care if other people bought it. but now if someone buys 40 gems in cs go i get killed with auto headshot bullets

Amusingly, despite the outcry a lot of people actually ended up buying the horse armor.

most of the people here a gen 7 console was their childhood

It's three fucking dollars you lazy poor faggot. Say something else or get a job

Idk how does it feel to not support the only Dev company to make these kind of games and to scurry about stealing cheap dlc like a dirty nigga stealing grapes In a Walmart?

Out of all the DLC released for Oblivion it sold the second worst amount. There's a reason that since Oblivion Bethesda has at least attempted to make their DLC substantial.

u mad

>it's three fucking dollars
give 3 dollars to a homeless, you lazy poor faggot

Horse armor wasn't outrageous, or offensive, it was dumb.
Just fucking dumb.
Cosmetic in a single player game, is still dumb.
Microtransactions today are also fucking dumb, however since the average consumer is even more fucking stupid it rakes in money.
As with all things, mainstream appeal ruined video games.

A homeless what?

>Horse armor wasn't outrageous, or offensive, it was dumb.
This, the fact people think you aren't allowed to get annoyed by stupidity is absurd.

>Feeding parasites
Would rather support intelligent game devs who work hard on my favorite game series

Go feed homeless babby, vote for Oprah 2020 too cucky

This is what ppl say when they have nothing

kys

But they aren’t fine.

>More brainlet replies
Mild heh

It wasn't cosmetic alone, it provided DR and made shadowmere into a durable backpack

okay, at first it was mildly amusing but now it's just sad, I'm sorry you felt the need to come here and defend your horse armor purchase, but no one here can help you, and this really isn't the place to vent, take a 10 min breather and I'm sure you'll feel better

>calls people brainlets
>defends horse armor

>it's only three dollars!!! you poor??
>fuck off, it's my three dollars!!! reeeeeee

pfffffffffffffffffffffft

if it's nothing give to a homeless man and he will appreciate it

if it's something, then fuck off with you it's nothing, give it to the greedy dev fucks

i felt the same way in 2017 as i did in 2006

So did a key command.
Still dumb as hell.

Le vote with ur wallet amirite bros?

Its become a think tank where they use crowd funding to develop the most ridiculous video game TECHNOLOGY.
for example their head tracking system

In 2006 I was 13, I don't remember any outrage about horse armor. I didn't have my own money or a debit card either. I just thought it was some harmless funny shit people could get if they wanted but I never cared about it.

Were people even upset about it at the time? I kind of just started using the internet around then.

A competitive game's main concerns are balance and fairness.

A single player game's main concern is content.

If they're gonna fuck my ass no matter what I'd rather thye do it via cosmetics rather than more important stuff.

It is like a decade passed. XB1 gets shit on for minor graphical differences, back in the PS3 era people gobbled up the shitty ports to cell.

This. The situation is already beyond fucked, might as well pick your fights realistically.

I always thought cosmetics were fine in games. It's pure capitalism.
Even pay2win is fine philosophically. I just don't play games with it.

>doesn't know anything better
Most important part. Children who were too young to experience anything before seventh gen simply don't know what it's like to live in a world without dlc and 5gb day one patches.

>If only we could turn back time and push back harder. Nip this shit in the bud.

>2007
>DLC worries me because I know corporations are infinitely greedy and will somehow make them bad for us.
>Everyone just calls me poor when I say I don't like DLC

You realize voting doesn't mean that you always get your way right? There were other people voting with their wallet and they voted against you.

>t. 19 yearold faggot

No you are being a complete faggot about this. There is never any point to give to homeless. Burn your money before that you are retarded if you think supporting filth is ok.
Chiming in to say this. Nothing else. Got any actual points instead of spamming the same point? Modders who spend years on shit come out with garbage. Quality assurance is another perk but u can go give all ur money to homeless niggers
Literally bathing in (yous) if u think an anime girl strengthens your serging your wrong. All you faggots have o say is " Ahhh! he likes horse armor!". Does a fucking white male sound familiar?
It's so obvious \v\ is full of circle jerking weebs. You guys hear a new opinion and can't handle t or debate it. Just screaming the same shit

Using console commands as a defense really?

In that case levelng up is a waste I'll just give myself xp via console

Yeah but at 2007 could you convincingly differentiate between an expansion pack and DLC? Should we just ban downloadable expansion packs?

>no one buys it
>they dont make it because no profit

>\v\

okay, I had my suspicions, but now that confirms it, go back to plebbit, kiddo
