Vasudus posted:It's been at least several weeks since I last bitched about Steam's intentional lack of filters so I have to browse their garbage dating anime games looking for something new to play. I guess they're not classifying games as "anime" sometimes despite very clearly being that loving garbage so it still shows up sometimes. Goddamn capitalism. Searching by tags works a little but yeah it doesn't matter what tag, you're gonna end with 30 of those mixed in.

I don't really want to get Shadow of War for 60 bucks and still have to deal with microtransaction garbage in a premium single player game but there's not much else out there  I won't have time to play anything tonight anyway.

If that doesn't already make you blindingly angry, guess what? They all adapt instantly to your attacks, they're either trolls or shields, at least two are cursed, and when you die you have to track one cocksucker down because he loving broke your sword and the only way to get it back is stabbing him in the face.

I haven’t bought a single game that has micro transactions (that I knew about before buying). I’m not going to support that poo poo. A bunch of DLC is bad enough.

A Bioware developer (ex dev anyhow) spoke at length about micro transactions and the direction EA is going because of how compulsive spending is amongst a low percentage of video game buyers.

There's a difference between cosmetic microtransactions and actual no-poo poo pay-to-win/play. Path of Exile's transactions, with the exception of stash tabs, is entirely cosmetic and I have no problem throwing a few bucks their way every expansion. Even if my piece of poo poo computer can't handle them, they put out a good game for free and their customer service beats the poo poo out of anything anywhere. Games like Hearthstone where you can't really compete without throwing down actual paper Magic: The Gathering levels of money are bullshit. Mobile games like Candy Crush where the game is literally designed to screw you into buying things are beyond my vernacular to describe.

Any game where they are pushing monetary transactions for anything, be it pay to win or for a cool penis drawing on your gun that has no effect on other players, is stupid and greedy. Today it’s just micro transactions for a dick on your guns. If people keep shoveling money at it then it will become paying for your character to be able to shoot his dick gun.

NUKES CURE NORKS posted:Any game where they are pushing monetary transactions for anything, be it pay to win or for a cool penis drawing on your gun that has no effect on other players, is stupid and greedy. In a lot of cases yes, that's quite true. But in the case of say, GGG who make Path of Exile, it's proven to be a system that works for the developers to have a constant revenue stream without the need for big money publishers. They owe nothing to anybody but their playerbase. You don't see this kind of system often because if your game is a turd with no staying power, your game is dead and so is your revenue. edit: what I mean to say is that if you have publisher/AAA backing and you have microtransactions your game is trash and gently caress you for including them in a premium game Vasudus fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Oct 23, 2017 |

Oh, it's absolutely stupid and greedy, especially in a game I already bought. You're not getting $10 of in-game currency if I already paid $60 for a game that might as well be a stable open-beta. Free to play with silly microtransactions is about as good as it's going to get.

So my CoQ character has had a fungal infection on one of his arms for the past couple days. The spore defense is cool but I really want to quad-wield axes again, but I don't have a spray bottle to cure it. Unrelated to this I used the dismember attack on myself to get the auto-cannibal achievement, and it selected the fungus arm. Stupid me forgot that I have the limb regeneration mutation. I don't need fungal cures at all, I can just cut off the affected limb.

I have Shadow of War, the microtransaction poo poo is entirely avoidable, I don't even see the point since you can get good gear just from playing the game. There's basically 2 ways to buy poo poo in the market: with currency you get from just playing the game and from currency you spend real money on. I've always had more than enough of the ingame currency. I don't bother spending it anyway since the poo poo I get from drops works just fine.

Not far in the desert, I discovered a location made up of...bookshelves. A library with no walls. Guarded by beetles and a watervine farmer turned librarian. My, his sack was full!  So full

The only reason people were losing their poo poo was in the post-story bit of the game, you are defending and attacking fortresses and need to hire good level orcs to do this. Buying crates is a means of getting instant high level orcs instead of just... playing the game at your own pace and cultivating your orc army based on which orc has the coolest features or personality but no that's not that the youtube people do no I must beat this immediately right now and not get a single moment of fun from it so I can poo poo on it non stop!!! It's seriously a non-issue. UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:Can we talk about how bad the microtransactions are with GTA V? Holy poo poo they are awful This on the other hand is for the latest DLC alone.

Edit: HDI found out the hard way that in 7 Days to Die you can drink blood bags. Also that you can eat glass and it does a fair amount of damage. The blood was awesome, he accidentally used the wrong item and just yelled "Oh god, no! (start voice tinged with regret) I just drank a blood bag."

So that's what happened. You knocked one out of the Dacia early, so three survived the crash...not zero. And the guy we ran 3 bldgs over to kill came from the UAZ (that's why I was confused about how he got so far away from the Dacia). Had no idea about ANY of that. :/ Edit: I really hate this gaming trend of Duplo-looking artwork.

The hour of Shadow of War that I've played so far seems pretty cool! I have absolutely no idea what is going on but I'm running around killing dudes with a sword and sometimes a spooky ghost helps??? And for some reason a gigantic spider demon thing turned into a lady and now she has my cock ring. For a game with a lot of cutscenes they sure as gently caress don't explain anything.
