“$3 for a day, $4 for a month”

This is the exact attitude they’re relying on, where people just toss up their hands, say “It could be worse!” and accept the status quo of a $7 Nuka Cola box reskin, as though it isn’t virtually equivalent to the “Horse Armor” that got everyone up in arms years ago.

Yeah, that pricing is absolutely silly. Like, those little reskinned items should cost $1 max, if that. This is the big problem I have with microtransactions: they usually make it very clear, via the pricing, that the stuff in question is meant to be bought by sucker-ass “whales.” People will talk about how it costs…

That kind of Intermediary currency pisses me off, and makes almost anything that uses it an instant pass for purchases. They did the same exact thing with their payed mods in the creation club. The smallest amount of money you can buy there is 750 bullshit points for $8.00. This already muddies the waters on what a…

It certainly looks like the kind of game that I wouldn’t like, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some people up for lonesome exploration getting griefed with their friends.

I can confirm that it was very blurry on both my 1440p monitor and 1080p monitor. Noticably so when compared to playing the Switch version in handheld mode or the PS4 Version of Complete. Matter of fact the UI looks almost identical to how the Switch version does when I play in Docked mode, which is 720p. I have a…

Instead the game constantly tugs & teases at your yearning for legendary gear, that as stated in the article represents the coolest and most sought after designs. It’s clearly disheartening to play a game as sprawling as THIS for 100+ hours being a menu click away from “shortcuts” (aka cheat codes which were free back…

I got put in the greys for saying the exact same thing this user is saying on another article. Is Kotaku attempting to create an echo chamber where pro-consumer ideals are not welcome to be discussed in civil discourse? Is Kotaku receiving any sort of incentives from publishers to defend their anti-consumer practices?…

Every review I have read for this game discusses the title as having a problem with forcing you to grind, a thing that has never been done in an AC game (according to reviews past 3, and my experience with games prior to 4), and expressly want you to pay extra money in order to keep up with the pace of the story.

WIthout any kind of hyperbole, the knowledge of these microtransactions, and how prevalent they are in the title, makes this a no-buy. I wanted to check out Origins when it became less expensive (I was burned by AC3 and haven’t played an AC title since), but the microtransactions seemed extreme.

Exactly. It’s absurd to even suggest that anyone in their right mind would pre-order one of these, we literally don’t know what 75% of the games are.

LAME.

Nintendo, nobody wants this. What we want is to be able to save our games (locally, and in the cloud), and to play some Mario Galaxy on the Switch.

MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.

This creates a potential legal conundrum: Say you “buy” a track from Amazon and download it to your device, then Amazon quietly revokes the license at a later date. From the sounds of it, it seems you’d be unknowingly carrying around an illegal copy of that track.

I still play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes which is a mobile game with micro transactions and they drop a new 3 star character every other week, to get that character to 7 stars (maxed) it’s about $340 and people pay for it every. single. time. I don’t understand it at all. 

WRONG! This crap has been filling my news feed lately, and it’s time to stop this viral nonsense. Here is an image from the original patent for the type of can opener in question:

Or just make her an awesomely hot outfit like they’ve always done.
Go play For Honor or something like Kingdom Come if you’re that concerned about historical accuracy..

Sorry Cecilia, this article is just pathetic

Appease the fans upset about the snow by offering more time in the ball pit.

First RPG I ever played and still my favorite 20 years later. Had to rent it from the local video store each weekend, little by little. Had to deal with my game being erased more than once. But I eventually beat it. And it became my all time favorite. I have it memorized pretty well now. But I remember cutting my…

The other issue is the Switch is a system that is supposed to be something you can take with you and play on the go. So there is no way to play this game without an internet connection. Forget about playing it at parks, the beach, on flights, trains, or bus trips. Wow Nintendo way to treat the mobile aspect of the…

@Labreya: Arrogance, bitterness, and probably a great deal of anger all detected in this post.
