The “big spectrum of loot boxes” he refers to seems to run from “Things Blizzard Fans Will Blindly Defend” and “All Those Other Evil Developers Who Aren’t As Bad About Blizzard So Stop Picking On Blizzard You Guys.”

They used an insidious strategy of taking it too far from the start and then dialing the FUCK YOU meter back on it just a bit so people would be more willing to accept the ass reaming.

Of course being able to just buy the skins I want would be better...

It’s the only game that I have paid over 50$ in loot boxes. I don’t play it anymore, so I sorely regret my instant satisfaction purchases. The updates for the game took too long for me to keep up an interest.

I wonder if there are going to be “What about...” comments though. The kind meant to raise Blizzard above…

Overwatch Director also thinks his yacht, purchased with loot box related bonus checks, is ‘really good’.

Almost everything you said was on point, but...

Firstly, this isn’t Microsoft’s fault, its the developer of these games. Secondly, you can’t seriously be trying to compare Nintendo first party game resolution and texture quality to top triple-A games... Hint: No Nintendo system can even run a game in 4K.

Holy shit. Just pointing out that the majority of sane people do not agree with this retarded statement. Arrogance is demanding retroactive payment for playing games that you chose with your own free will lmao.

See, this is why I appreciate Sony’s business policies vs. Nintendo’s. They reward you for putting up with the bullshit.

Maybe if they stop doing stuff like this then people wouldn’t feel the need to pirate the games to get around their performance crippling “fixes”.

You know the scary part of this post? For a while I actually couldn’t tell if you were serious.

So, at first I was annoyed by this blatant profiting of addictive tendencies that loot boxes are becoming.

Honestly? No. No it isn’t.

There’s no fix you dummass. Read the article.

Two ways to go with it I think:

Pretty sure that’s the point and why we see him rot as a display of progression. There’s a reason that the triumphant music stops when that final blow is landed and a requiem starts. Shadow of the Colossus starts out about a game of hanging on, but really it’s a game about letting go. Which is why it’s the last thing…

That’s kinda the point of the game. You’re supposed to feel bad about killing the Colossi and everything leading up to it. It was meta WAY before Bioshock was a twinkling in Ken Levine’s eye

Don’t see how it’s much different from what Blockbuster was doing a couple decades ago.

How is this any different than any of the older game rental systems? Have you ever heard of Blockbuster?

This is far from “expecting perfection”. These are items that shouldn’t be part of any vehicle, at any price point. Defective windshields, poor door panels, defective information screen, squeaks and rattles galore. Come on now. It’s not like he couldn’t connect Bluetooth or a headlight was misaligned.
