With all due respect, I think you (and everyone who has replied to me thus far) are the one(s) doing the misunderstanding. Let’s get one thing straight here - microtransactions in games with a price tag are NEVER optional in their design and implementation, regardless of what’s in the box.

No, the “surprise” I refer to is Psyonix surprising players by not getting rid of microtransactions (or loot boxes for that matter, yes you pay for the resulting item shown to you but everything before that works same as before, as far as I understand anyway) completely, thereby leaving Rocket League as a Fee To Pay…

Oh for fuck’s sake, just when I thought Psyonix was actually listening to Jim Sterling (he doesn’t give awards to games that go Fee 2 Pay; he gave one to Rocket League in 2015 before loot boxes were patched in), they just HAD to pull a surprise mechanic on us and go “Oh, they’re not loot boxes or gambling, they’re…

Honestly I really wish developers would go back to making games with the philosophy that consoles don’t have Ethernet ports or Wi-Fi cards.

Wait, wasn’t there a Season Pass or something that granted you additional single player content?

Urgh.....It really pulls my emotional strings when I hear news of a cat dying....

*sigh*....ANOTHER one. Because if there’s one thing the AAA industry loves to exploit (besides its players via gambling), it’s player’s PC resources by having a million different launchers running at once, on top of any in-game overlays running alongside them.

There was once a time where you could buy a game from the App Store and own it forever. However, things changed - developers disabled some online functionality that made certain games unplayable (Tap Tap Revenge and Tapulous as a whole), and once the F2P/IAP/microtransaction craze kicked in, developers (cough cough…

It’s still technically F2P according to the App Store. And you needed an internet connection to play SMR and all the other F2P shit.

Oh god.....Thanks Brian, for mortifying me with that fucked up image of Ash.

I don’t see why Nitro needed to exist (never heard of it till now TBH) when we already have Twitch Prime and Humble Monthly doing the same thing. And you actually get to keep the games even if you cancel. Plus, with Humble at least, your 10% discount stacks on top of the sale discount during sales, so even during…

Oh yeah, I remember when Capcom was fucking its customers over. U/MvC3, cancelling every Mega Man game under the sun, Asura’s Wrath true ending, shitty Resident Evil games, supported SOPA, and of course SFxT DLC. DLC being Disc-Locked Content.

Me: “Alright, final boss. Let’s end this shit tonight. Save the game, make sure we’re good to go, open the door and—”

Then let me ask this: What is the gameplay experience for those who have no Internet connection at all? I’d imagine it’s a drab shitshow.

So you’re reporting on the use of the racial slur, while using the slur itself in the article (even if it’s a quote)?

Looks good! Is it controller friendly? And will Big Picture be receiving such treatments as well?

They probably just don’t want anything to become a gateway for hacking the PSN again.

Fuck, I miscalculated. I just multiplied 1800 (coins) by 24 (items) to get the 46,700 total coins, then did my best to estimate the dollar value using those provided on Economic Art’s website.

That’s still a grand total of 46,700 Apex coins, which is about $90. Still not good enough IMO.

They never announced it for devices other than the Xbox One and Windows 10 to begin with.
