STOP PUTTING BATTLE PASSES IN EVERY FUCKING GAME
FUCKING STOP IT
GAMING IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN AND YOU FUCKING GREEDY KIKES ARE TURNING IT INTO A CHORE AND NOW EVERY FUCKING GAME HAS ONE
"OH YOU WANTED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THIS GAME? TOO BAD, ENJOY MISSING OUT BECAUSE YOU DIDNT INVEST ALL YOUR FREE TIME INTO IT THIS SEASON, BUT MAYBE NEXT SEASON YOU CAN GRIND FOR REWARDS :)"
FUCK OFF
Only retards play online-only games in the first place. It's anti-consumer DRM and you eat it up. You should get fleeced for having no standards.
The only game I played that has battle pass was Destiny 2 and I stopped playing it because of it.
haha battlepass go ding
Ok but let is raise the price of video games to the proper value. $150 might be a good start.
No?
I thought so.
shut the fuck up NIGGER
most games aren't even worth the 60$ they charge for them
How do i play a game for more than 30 minutes again without getting bored out of my mind?
This. 60$ is way too much already considering the value we get in return and also with how many people buy them, they get way more money than they need or deserve.
I bet your work worth every cent and you think you deserve a raise every year ;)
I let you in a secret though. More than 90% of players don't give a fuck about passes and unlocks. We are making the game for a small minority who feels like they have to grind those unlocks (having a consistent "player" number helps a ton with investors and publishers) and an even smaller one who actually buys them. The best "proper" games like COD and Fortnite has around 8% of player investment. It means 8% of players buy something at least. The rest of the games operate with much less. Although I don't know about FIFA UT, it seems it might be even better money wise.
We have statistics. Other than a few rare cases where an unlocks becomes super popular or a "meme", people drop the old ones when something new comes out. So you grind months from your life for something you will only use until the next season. You are literally working for a shiny thing you don't care about anymore when the next shiny thing is out. Who is the nigger now?
Lootboxes were much worse for you and you wanted something else. What did you expect? We need the money and now we actually have to put in an effort because if our Battle Pass rewards are shit you won't grind it. Before, we only had to put in a few super cool stuff and give you some hope you can actually get it (lol). Now we have to give out cool stuff early to get you invested and have even cooler at every 20 or so levels. It is much more work, not to mention no matter how smart are the guys who put together the pass they make mistakes all the time (not their fault). We can see on the stats when an early skin gets more popular than than the last ones and people stop grinding as soon as they got it. Fucking sucks because revenue goes down noticeably and people who worked on the late items worked for nothing.
They're in single-player games as well, though not as often as multiplayer.
No time because of grinding I guess
stop playing shitty GAAS multiplayer games bro.
Nigger I can't even play Quake Champions or Doom Eternal without this shit being shoved in my face, and Doom is mostly a singleplayer game.
i hate fucking FOMO bullshit, if i'm buying a game i want to be able to get everything at some point and at my one pace, i don't want to reach level 99 at the time-sensitive cockpump mini game side event to get the rare gilded dong ring accessory just put it in the fucking game permanently
and a extra "fuck you" to retards that actually cry and piss and moan when rare shit comes back because it means they won't be special snowflakes for having in anymore, what kind of live is that to live when the only feeling of superiority you have to cling to is a mass of polygons
They're making primarily single player games like doom eternal into fucking battlepass trash. Fuck the games as a service model.
I'll take that. 150 bucks, all the dlc that would have happened in the base game, everything unlocked, cloth map and a 200 page manual. Sounds like a fucking dream compared to having to spend 180 bucks to get the item you want from lootboxes or buying level points.
Or, what if you stop blowing 200 million dollars on Hollywood mocap and advertising and give us a fucking game worth playing?
what is fomo
I didn't read that shit but I just want to say you're a faggot
fear of missing out
If we could sell the game for that you would get all that, a finished product with all the cut content... ehm DLC on day one.There would be only balance fixes and MP events (for free of course) afterwards. Good luck making everyone agree on this though. Including the suits though because they all want more money.
>year 10 pass - server alimony
But spending money on development have marginal returns while flashy graphics gets people interested right away.
The Shadow of Tomb Raider was a failure but still had a high completion rate because it looks good. Meanwhile "good" games bleeding players in the first few levels. There is a reason "everyone" loves Sony games.
Yes, that explains Animal Crossing's and Nintendo's success in general.
Oh wait....
N has a great brand image and unique games. Trust me, if it would be worth it everyone would do it. It works for them but nobody else could replicate it.
No. I will not stop laughing at you all who supported this by buying it and not telling the companies who do this shit to fuck off in unison. You have the right to vote with your wallet. You do not need to suffer the jew and compromise your integrity as a consumer and vote with your fucking wallet.
You fucks forgot all the last 20 years of companies utterly fucking with your hobby or did you become docile and give up? I haven't.
You made your bed, don't turn too hard in it, fuckers.
Voting with your wallet is complete hogwash. You can only cast one vote against something, but someone who wants to open his wallet can buy as many votes as he wants.
If we listened to you fags there would not be playing any games at all.
I can't force you to buy the next season pass of some FotM game you and your shitfuck friends will buy any more than the scumbag companies you are aligned with. It's about personal integrity and having a fucking backbone; speaking out even by yourself can have rippling effects if people give a damn. Quit acting like the battle's already over, defeatist shitlord.
Bullllllllllllshit. Every game being $60 and every game needing billion dollar ad campaign is the problem. Mid tier games used to be a bigger thing.
Blame gamers for not having the self-control to buy dlc
Maybe stop spending millions on advertising campaigns
You know why ad campaigns are as big as they are? Because they work. Even on you.
How many times have you seen, on this very board, someone dismissing game for no reason besides "never heard of it"?
