Hurlshort Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Also my point for bringing up Star Citizen was that these pure vanity items cost more money than your generic games DLC or a vehicle addon in a simulation game. That's just nuts. Of course if you have artists designing those vanity items for you individually, and they are existing in the game uniquely, it would make sense that type of personalized experience will cost an arm and a leg.

Lexx Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Sure, but they aren't. It's the same item for every player. Oh btw, you can pay the barber with gold as well... but you don't unlock hairstyles with gold, you have to pay gold again if you want to switch to a certain other hairstyle. Then if you feel the mood to go back to the first hairstyle, you pay with gold again. Same with weapon skins. If you want a 100% golden gun for whatever reason, you pay like 30 gold bars or something, which is 10+ bucks of real money. Now if you want to change the gun back to silver, you have to pay more gold to do so. Once that is done and you see it looks like crap and want your gold-skin back, you pay with gold bars again. In a way this is genius. I think they are the first to not have items unlock with gold.. you really just buy them once. /edit: Actually I remember the Hunter having you buy ammo for real money. Also weapons and stuff were quite pricey back then. Still cheaper than RDO stuff, though.

213374U Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Maybe the trend of increasing grinds and MTX aren't just them seeing what they can get away with but also a means of training the customer to accept more grind and MTX Yes. Also keep in mind that y'all old farts aren't necessarily the target for the "conditioning". After all, you've been around long enough to remember the time when MTX were not a central design element around which games are built, so you know that a magical communist utopia existed at one point, where megapublishers weren't out to **** you over for that extra percent profit point. It's the new generation that was born with an iphone in hand, who are being raised on this so they literally won't know better. If they also manage to suck a few of you in, that's just the icing on the cake.

Chilloutman Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 no it does not 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Lexx Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 These "macro"transactions are the same crap in RDO. Sorry but $20 just isn't micro at all...

And I don't know what's worse, the fake discounts ir the way this guy says "Bethazzduh". https://youtu.be/RZ_gitrVffk So Fallout 76 has been on sale (on console) for $29.99 since the second week after release at most retailers, which is usually the first sign of poor sales. The fact that Bethesda is charging $20 for in game transactions is them trying to recoup their losses. Edited December 19, 2018 by Vitalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
