gamingEA was planning this ahead of time.
like i said before games sell, lootboxes sell, microtransactions sell, day one DLC sell, pre sales on games we already know are gonna be full of this shit sell, poorly optimized games at launch sell... so why should companies that have shareholders not make money? why should they only release a game when it's ready and not release it and later came out with the patches making buyers beta testers, why shouldn't they strip a game of it's content at launch and sell it as DLC? games with DRM that make paying customers suffer? because you don't want to? If this is a real issue don't buy those games, i don't, and thinks will change rapidly. Complaining and buying the games accomplishes what exactly? i really don't get it. The apocalyptic rants about a game crash seem overrated. There are people every day playing games happily that don't have any of this crap. If you're like me and don't buy them, don't play them, and wanted to buy and play them without this... live is not fair. I'm most certainly not gonna support this practices just to play a game, any game no matter how much i would like to play it.
I fully understand your points. The gaming crash I mentioned is a worst-case situation that could recur again. (What are the odds?) Avoiding purchases and play is also my approach. More games are adding microtransactions, though not every title does so. Labeling them as micro is sometimes misleading—one by one, it’s true. Still, let's tally it up. Honestly, I admit Activision got me hooked with CoD. I stopped buying at BO2, but once BO3 launched, I had to give it a shot. It didn’t meet my expectations. Right now, I’m steering clear of their titles until I see concrete evidence they’re returning to the traditional model. By the way: Would you mind sharing some game suggestions? I know personal preferences vary, but I’m always up for trying something new! I’ve heard Civ 5 is decent, and it’s not much of an RTS, so it might be enjoyable. Also, if you have any ideas, feel free to share. (P.S. Typos fixed on Nov 14, 2017 by Sfekke)
I didn't play the last Civilization game, but I enjoy the series—it's turn-based and that can be unsettling for some. The best way to get game suggestions is if you tell me what kinds of games you like.
RTS - Never tried it but actually seems intriguing to try. Games that do not end - I enjoy a game that just has a lot of replayability. A sandbox with actual stuff to do. Tried all the popular once, GTA did appeal to me. So do well executed Survival games. What I avoid is the "Ubisoft sandbox". Grab this, do that, rescue him. Rinse & repeat. Sandbox games in my eyes should be filled with small things, random encounters, etc With the ability to cause mayhem or keep peace. Odd ones out - Garry's Mod was and is something that doesn't seem to get old to me. Simple concept, so much stuff to do. FPS - The FPS game you can play braindead. Just guns, boots on the ground shooting. Most kills wins. While CoD used to clinch this thirst, balance is gone and it isn't the same to me. I'd replay BO MP, but on PC that game is dead. No real theme needed, WW2/WW1/Vietnam/modern times . Not set in the future is my main request. I did find some interesting games or even ones I used to play, but the playercounts are just too low. Finding matches shouldn't take forever. Battlefield is a decent one, but I prefer close range. Well that is what goes through my head when looking for a game.
Big adventures in the Witcher 3 sandbox feel like a wild ride. Just because I played 3 doesn’t mean I loved it, but some games stood out—Superhot FPS, Doom, Titanfall, and Wolfenstein all had their moments.
