Also a 10% discount on this purchase for signing up and also the whole process takes like an hour. What a steal, it's practically free money and not a massive inconvenience to do all this at checkout.

Loot crates are garbage and should be unacceptable even for cosmetic stuff, but they are never going anywhere because gamers inexplicably defend them and there isn't really a competing product if a game you like decides to switch everything to them. But I'm just being entitled by wanting to exchange money for a listed good. PS Funbux middle man currencies also need to die.

Captain Invictus posted:Why does it suck though, since it does not affect the gameplay in any way? That's what has always weirded me out about the argument against purely cosmetic loot crates. You WANT, you don't NEED the cosmetics in there, and no doubt they would never exist otherwise. Having an option to buy them gives those who really, REALLY want some specific set or item to pay for them directly(in cases like dota or overwatch with in-order loot box loot), or often just let you pay for the skin directly. Even setting aside the "give corporations an inch and they'll take a mile" reason, it's a system that is purely anticonsumer, like intermediate currencies. Saying it's loot boxes or nothing at all isn't correct. The correct comparison is loot boxes vs just buying the thing. The former is worse for the consumer in essentially every case. Whether it's gameplay or balance affecting is entirely irrelevant. Making loot crates affect gameplay is just worse. This is also not even touching on the compromises it pushes on the game's design.

f1av0r posted:No, overwatch loot boxes are given to you for free. The contents in the box do not impact the actual gameplay in any way, and for the people who do purchase them, allows the game to continue churning out free content patches. I'm totally 100% fine with how they have monetized overwatch. But I'm the type of person who isn't a compulsive hoarder or base my self-esteem on game completion percentages. Please don't defend anticonsumer practices. Also loot boxes don't "allow" blizzard to do poo poo.

f1av0r posted:I mean I'm telling you as a consumer, that I'm fine with it. I'm paying nothing past my initial 60$ dollars and getting free expansions/dlc content because people want to buy loot boxes. I'm okay with that You can be fine with it all you like, that has zero relevance to the scheme being anticonsumer. And again, the loot box system is not supporting anything that could not be supported by a scheme that is better for the consumer.

Guy Mann posted:The game's promotion is doing a terrible job on making to game look interesting, what little gameplay they've shown all looks super floaty and undefined and the characters look incredibly dull since it's mostly just boring humans with bad haircuts and muppet faces.

Guy Mann posted:Even at its sloppiest in ME1 the original trilogy was at the very least a competent cover shooter than whatever it is they're going for with Andromeda. Also the fact that they're obviously trying so hard to be diverse and inclusive with the human characters this time around just makes them being so boring-looking that much worse. Competent is a strong word to use for Mass Effect 1. And like others have said, being inclusive is a fine thing, it's just Bioware does it very poorly because it's Bioware.

Captain Invictus posted:as also a major coward when it comes to eye stuff, I considered just dealing with it forever because "having your cornea scraped off with a scalpel or lasered off" is not a pleasant proposition, but now that it's over and done with I can say I am happy I had it done even if the last ~10 days sucked because seeing well out of both eyes instead of one is a good thing Not quite eye stuff, but I had a sort of similar feeling when I got nasal surgery. Like before it wasn't bad enough that I didn't think I could live with it, and the surgery and recovery period sucked, but afterward I'm glad I did it. Pain pills definitely helped, and thankfully I did not get addicted. On a games note, today I will undertake the ultimate challenge and do my taxes.

I tried the God Eater games a while back and they didn't take even a little I had a blast with Toukiden and didn't care much for the God Eater games, so you might want to consider it. Toukiden is definitely more of a streamlined and action-y game without the fiddly stuff of Monster Hunter like traps and weapon sharpening if that is a factor for you, but the weapons all feel good and varied and the setting and designs are cool. Flying enemies that you spend a lot of time chasing are still pretty annoying, though.

Even if you take the most critical eye possible to the religious significance the creators of The Dragon, Cancer put on the game it's still nowhere near as pretentious as the things No Man's Sky was offering. Jesus Christ that is some severe fart huffing.
