Old story is old.

Battlefront II is the newest game to hate. Yawnz. If it's not microtransactions, it's length, or lack of unpromised features, or whatever the hate brigade wants to invent.

This may come as a shock to someone like you who bends over willingly for anybody who asks, but other people don't like it when developers don't fulfill promises or make their games purposefully frustrating so as to push players towards gambling mechanics in order to progress.

thorstein2365d ago

You are talking about a feature that is not in the game and was removed. It may be added later, but currently is not in use.

Diffraction_Fos2364d ago

@thorstein - Oh it will come back. That's why a lot of people are still raging. This is EA.

EatCrow2366d ago

Its good to keep this fiasco as top news for longer. Something needs to be done about implementing gambling tactics into gaming and forced gambling progression. Not good for the industry, not good for gamers.

Spoticle2365d ago (Edited 2365d ago )

IMO if the microtransactions are one where a person who plays 10 minutes can pay real cash for a CHANCE at rewards/progress it'd take another player 10 hours to naturally achieve then yes I'd say that classifies it as gambling.

What a great Month!

HB 2!
LoF and Hunti are all on my list!

thesoftware73022h ago

So I don't think those 3 games make it a great month?

Thanks for telling me.

Just recently finished playing Immortals of Aveum on PSplus extra, can definitely recommend it to those who like fps magic wielding type games, it's really good.

Elda1d 18h ago

I own & played Immortals Of Aveum & Lords Of The Fallen already. The only game on that list I'm going to try is Hellblade 2.

Chants Of Sennaar is a favorite of mine, if you like to figure things out as you go, literally decipher what the hell is going on, play it it's amazing

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk772d ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE2d ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7302d ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor2d ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos2d ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor2d ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos2d ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now
