REDkit - Preview [GamingLives]

GamingLives gets a look at the impressive REDkit from CD Projekt RED, which allows you to create your own Witcher maps and quests.

"Modding is a vital part of the gaming community. Allowing people to take part and create in the games that they enjoy has kept communities alive long after they would have ordinarily ended. Not only that but, in the case of Arma 2, mods like Day-Z can create sales far above what the game could have otherwise expected. It’s no surprise then, to learn that more and more developers are embracing the modding community and CD Projekt Red cemented their position as one of those at the forefront when they announced the REDkit"

MP games need micros to keep the lights on. Path of Exile is a good game with micros. It can be done as long is the game is not the scheme itself.

You end up paying more than $70 in micros for a game specifically designed around them and that’s not a “scheme” by design?

I’ve played plenty of great MP games that didn’t have micros. I love how at one point we were like micros bad, GaaS bad, and now we’re like, well GaaS is MP so it’s ok.

Path is a free game. How else are they supposed to keep the servers on? You don't need up spending more . I've been playing the game since the beginning and I've spent less than $20.

Destiny on the other hand....

An MP game embedded in a SP game shouldn't have them.

I know you understand this. I have to be optimistic here.

I’d argue “free to play” are more egregious than just a traditional pay to play game. You end up spending far more on a game than just $70 and I think the “free” games are sneaky by design to make a consumer think “well, it’s free, let me dump money into it.” I mean, they’re specifically designed to make you continuously put money into them. I heard with Path of Exile you hit a point where the grind is obnoxious without buying micros.

Odd, I remember micro transactions for Witcher 3

CrimsonWing6944d ago

What micro-transactions do you remember being in Witcher 3?

FinalFantasyFanatic45d ago

I agree, I never pay for microtransactions, and in the few cases where I have, I've felt dirty afterwards, especially when older games used to give you so much content for free (like cosmetics).
