Microtransactions piss me off

TVGB: "Microtransactions are a trend I fear in gaming as I honestly think it can only bring ruin to the industry. Certainly, the corporations can make gobs of more money in the process, but what about We, the gamers?"

Nice pic, btw. $2.50 for horse armor?

I agree, though. Paying so much for so little is just complete BS! DLC will make alot of gamers stray. EA is especially guilty with this. DLC is fine if it's at a reasonable price, made AFTER the completed game, not taken out of the completed game only to put online and sell for it. There really ought to be laws or something regarding DLC. It's unfair for the consumer.

If EA does take T2(or was that denied?), I could just imagine... Paying 5 dollars for certain guns. Paying 10 bucks for a 3 pack of cars. 20 bucks for 3 more missions to finish the series. 40 for an "expansion" that could have easily been on the game. F*cking greedy money hungry businesses. All of them!

I agree with this article completely. If anything, horse armor should be 25 cents, if that. And that's really all I know of that is extremely overpriced on the XBL Marketplace. Everything EA is giving out is overpriced, I know that.

I hope EA doesn't make a console and monopolize the industry. My wallet will probably die should that happen. Or maybe I'll get a life by then, who knows?

Anyway, I'm done ranting... If you disagree(and I don't see how many of you can) please say why?!

games4fun5879d ago

is at it again did you know the Battlefield Bad Company game has dlc as guns you actually have to buy guns from them it has actually annoyed me so much i decided not to buy it and suggest others do the same

Ovidius5879d ago

I read the article when it came out. And that is complete, and utter bullsh!t. Especially since it was just a BETA!

Breakfast5879d ago

@ above - i thought that was debunked?

But i agree, with original poster...down with dlc...or at least the pointless ones...all of that stuff should come in the original game.

Dudeson425879d ago

Map packs are OK in my book but as soon as we start paying for content that is ALREADY ON THE DISC, thats when it's gone too far.

I'm looking at YOU Beautiful Katamari...

TitanUp5879d ago

i don't buy any dlc and never will no matter what it is no point in paying for something to do with a game that i alread payed full price for.

if this continues i don't know how much longer im going to be a gamer this is complete bull shi#

EastCoastSB5879d ago

And I fear it's going to grow.

I downloaded the BF:BC beta and to my surprise, there are 5 or so guns that you have to buy, WTF!?!?

ReBurn5879d ago

I won't pay for cruft, but I'll kick in a few bucks if it makes the experience more worthwhile.

When I used to spend some time in Second Life the only money I ever put into the game was about $10 to buy a cheap-but-good skin, some decent clothes and something that reasonably resembled hair. I had a good time with Second Life, so it was worth the money. Anything else I bought in the game came with money won in various ways.

Once I won $5,000+ Lindens when some moron accidentally paid a sploder all of his money, over $100,000 Lindens. He was begging for people to give him his money back, but everyone just teleported away.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot6d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator6d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin6d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai6d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0076d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer5d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer5d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
