Ubi can go fuck themselves with this monetization scheme. It’s like straight up from mobile game - they even give you limited quantity premium lootboxes(TM) to give you a taste of premium gear. You want more? Well, grind and wait, or pay straight up.

I don’t know, it really seems like somebody just took the concept of sheeple and put a fresh paint on it. Maybe the dehumanization factor is stronger? “You are no longer even the sheep, you are just a code.” Still, it really, really seems like some people have serious trouble distinguishing reality from fiction,…
Don’t call these apps games. They are not games, they are virtual casino applications with a game-like theme. That’s what they really are.
Remember when 60 USD got you a complete game, no DLCs., Season Passes, MTXs, loot boxes, pre-order shit? I member.

“There will also be indie games on the Discord store, and the company says it will open up a new “First On Discord” program in which it funds indie developers in exchange for temporary exclusivity. The exclusivity window will “usually” last 90 days, Discord says.”

“But incentivizing players to get that one rare skin at the end of the punch card means 80 to 100 hours of work and an almost RPG-like dedication to leveling up. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not as predatory as games encouraging children to essentially gamble on loot boxes.”
This practice is pretty old and common in F2P MMOs market, where you always have some form of “premium pass” which provides stuff like XP and reputation boosts, daily supplies and more.
They both look like someone punched them in a face.

GG, TB. We will wait for you to respawn.
Yup, it is a good Destiny clone with good business model. I recommend it as well.
So after introduction it’s the same Far Cry as always: run around and liberate “outposts”. What’s the point? You can replay FC3 for that.
I still don’t get it WHY/HOW are police enforcers in USA so trigger-happy. Here in ČR it would get you A LOT before policemen start shooting at you - probably only when you started shooting at him first.
“Playing Guild Wars 2 in complete solitude for a year isn’t a lot like getting blackout drunk at a bar every single night of that same year.”
