I'd be really curious to see what age group spends more on loot crates. Anytime I think of microtransactions all I can picture is a 12 year old who's parents entered in their CC information to buy 1 item on xbox and that kid just now racks up the bill since that info stays in the system. I picture this because I knew a guy who was completely ignorant to technology and did this with his son.

I mostly picture middle-aged people with 6 figure salaries. Or like, near six-figure salaries.

Well we can take solace in that sometimes the greed does backlash on them. Sometimes. People are not gonna straight boycott a new game that a ton of their friends are playing Don't get me wrong I hate this system of shaking every penny out of the poor as much as possible but D2 is pretty generous with loot. If y'all want something to bitch about then look at vanilla Destiny before they redid all that poo poo. It was really really bad. Bust Rodd posted:"I want Destiny 2 to be successful and have a long life with many expansions featuring lots of new content!" I think the point here is that they're literally printing money and have no problems allocating appropriate resources for new content nachos posted:Remember that first expansion for destiny 1 which was like 3 single player missions and a strike for 20 United States dollars lmao yup it was the same levels backwards and they tied in an enemy being reskinned into the story. Whatever the story is I'm still not sure

I liked that story about the mobile game that made most of its money off of one particular richass Saudi that they looked up on facebook and figured out his favorite soccer team, and then put expensive skins in the game with the team's colors.

LawfulWaffle posted:Destiny 1 had a bunch of Sparrows (the hover bike/landspeeder) that had the same model with different colors, many available only through purchase with real money. Most Sparrows in Destiny 2 have varied body types but come in white so you can color them as you wish. Same with the space ships. I want every game to have Saints Row 2/3 levels of customization. Make yourself into whatever the hell monstrosity you want to be, then change your mind an hour later. Wear any combination of clothes with any colour options you like, go from sophisticated man of class to distressed technomage to something that would make every member of the Village People feel too formally dressed. Make your vehicles ridiculously gaudy or ultra-black, with huge spoilers, spiked wheels, wacky horns and a dozen bells and whistles. At the cost of, what, ten minutes dicking around and causing chaos?

It's rad as hell that now even the Exotic gear and the weapons can be customized, but trying to find all the shaders for them right now is a pain in the rear end. I'm sure it'll be better in the coming weeks when people figure out where the gently caress I'm supposed to go redeem rep to get the shaders I want but all I want is to have a gaudy Louis Vuitton Gundam and drat if I know where to get more of that black gold shader.

Last two? No, Saints Row 3 and 4 both had customisation, even if it wasn't nearly as elaborate as Saints Row 2. If THQ hadn't gone bankrupt then Volition could have made Saints Row 4 into a complete game with real textures and stuff, but they just released what they had and haven't made any games since. Not one. Nope.

Agents of Mayhem seems like an okay £20 game in a few months, certainly not at 'lets pretend it never happened' levels anyway.

That boat looks nice at a glance, but on the inside it's completely empty aside from a pricey mini bar and it only sails in circles within the same 100 foot radius.

What are the Koei strategy games )Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nobunaga's Ambition) on PS4 like? I remember some reviewer saying that they found one of the games (I think Nobunaga's Ambition) to be pretty hard, even if you were someone who excelled at strategy games. I know they've also been released on PC, but I know Koei's not the best when it comes to PC port, and I was just sort of curious how well they play on consoles.

ROTK and NA are rare for Koei in that they're still PC games first, so they actually work quite well there and it isn't a massive shitshoot like all their ports.

I bought a year of ps plus and downloaded infamous SS. The game looks great. It was a launch title wasn't it? You can kinda tell by the way they use the touchpad and controller gyros for spraying right at the start and opening doors. I haven't played long but this game is definitely worth the 4€ for this month alone. Child of Light is great to have as well and adds to my cough coop collection. Hatoful boyfriend can go eat pigeon poison though. Thankfully I had the pleasure of playing that garbage on PC so I didn't even add it to my library.
