Best part is that even if you think it doesn't affect you now, it will sooner or later. Let's talk about the microtransactions in Mass Effect 3. The game system was actually built in such a way that you'd spend money to unlock packs that would give you random stuff lol.

What you've said about the selling game thing only works for consoles, how then would you justify microtransactions on the PC? On the PC you can easily hack your own game to give you whatever you want (console mode on Skyrim). And as you said if an "online" or "anti-cheat enabled" game is doing this, then they're…

Hey, you're "railing" against microtransactions!

He was trolling lol.

Part of the GT experience is getting that car through your hard work, playing low level races, upgrading your low level car, getting into the big leagues... Heck, all of it is part of any racing game experience. I mean in a racing game, if you've cheated to unlock the top car, well then you've got nothing to work…

As video game journalists, you folks have a lot of power in deciding if this is acceptable or not, so if you say it's ok, it's ok.

It's not about being better or worse. It's about encouraging this business model. Once it's widely accepted as the norm, the next step will be building games around microtransactions and then you people will come weep at how microtransactions destroyed something we all loved.

You can take a look at mobile gaming for proof of this.

But then you would bypass all this microtransaction business with a one time payment!!! Btw, I have GT5, what's new in GT6?

Seriously? :P

Please I beg you people, do not buy that Jaguar using real cash...

I hear you man. There's only so much shit one can take. I'm getting Tales of Xillia this Xmas and maybe Disgaea D2 as well. I've got no hope left for the FF series. Lost Odyssey is great! VI and X are my favourite FF games since I played them first as a kid :)

I know for fans like you and me, this is a disappointment and we can show it by holding our wallets. But for a lot of other people, Final Fantasy is a respectable name and they will buy it just to try it! And a lot of fans will be okay with this as well because opinions...

So it's okay for them to degrade the quality of their games? Or to charge way more than a normal game costs on a mobile device and still have microtransactions in the game?

I don't know if you work at Conan or not, but point taken. I should be backing my stuff with evidence.

Especially the gamer guy with him gets treated like shit. It's depressing.

It just seems as though he's insulting the games and gamers.

People will still buy it, SE will get richer and nothing will be done about it.

He is given a script. That RE6 was a general complaint from the net and that's why he did it. Everything's done to boost the show's rating.

You must be fun at parties...
