I just saw a trailer comparison of E3 to the game and I didnt really pay attention to the E3 trailer, but holy shit they did a massive downgrade. I can understand small downgrades, but what they did was HUGE.

Its not that hard to assume 100 shards will equal 1 dollar. This thread isnt a rage its a discussion and i started it because after thinking EA is publishing it i wint be getting it on launch based on multitiude of experiences. @Montoya if the grind is anything like battlefront 2 it could take...

Witcher 3, kingdom hearts 3. Dragon age inquisition, Bloodborne, dark souls series, doom, metro series, every game from nes era up to ps2 era and most 360 and ps3 games. Entire generations of games. Total war warhammer series doesnt have microtransactions, different sizes of dlc or new...

@Montoya get a wireless card and hotspot your phone internet to play anthem. You can also use your hotspot to trouble shoot your troubles. I would hardwire and check your router settings, if you cant access your router and it isnt the cord than its your hardware most likely. If you can access...

Not a fan of those either, but this topic is about 20$ for a skin and EA showing that they dont care. Its more or less the final red flag for me that EA sunk their teeth deep in with greed. Im purely focused on this instance about anthem, cosmetics and micros is a whole different thread on its...

I have no issues with the price of a full game going up due to inflation etc. But a full complete game market right now is 60$ a game at this price with microtransaction is the exception not the rule or standard. 20$ for a basic looking skin is price gouging. For 20$ that skin better play the...

I have a redeemer n base game. When you pledge money to cig you are supporting game development as an investor, in reality they dont need to give you anything for you backing their game, but the do for free. The more you donate the better ship you get for free, thats literally how it goes. Jack...

You keep saying it doesnt affect gameplay. Games tend to have the best skins unlockable and earned through gameplay. When you make the best skins purchasable, you are affecting gameplay. You no longer unlock those awesome skins through fighting bosses or hidden secrets. Its now through money or...

I would like to add im not against comsmetics per say but there is a limit.

My stance is an argument against policy. It first started out as 5$ for horse armor. When the people who only know how to make money start running the companies and the people who makes the games are no longer running it, the envelop on how to abuse consumers for money begins to open up and for...

For honor was calculated to take 2 years of 8 hours a day grinding to unlock everything or that was star wars battlefront 2, both are absurd.

Ive already stated that it alters gameplay and how it alters gameplay. Case n point to give an example is Assassins creed odyssey and their exp boost.

This is my bet what EA is doing.

Then you havent been playing games for very long. Microtransactions werent really introduced till around the xbox 360 era plus. Thats 30 ish years of a standard of gamers getting complete games. Im also entitled to have expectations and standards when i spend my money. So yes im 100% allowed to...

It alters gameplay to make you pay for things that were originally part of the game. I paid 60$ for a complete game. I dont expect content to be ripped out in order to make money. I expect dlc to do that instead. There are many games that do what anthem does without adding microtransactions...

There is a lot of things in game you dont need. You dont need to melee in the game, skyrim you dont need potions. Speed runners dont need to play levels, but things are put in there to enhance gameplay. When you remove things that are supposed to be standard in a full price game and make you pay...

Thats a pretty poor argument imo. It offers nothing to this. I could say video games never made you purchase skins and it was involved in actual gameplay through cool challenges and secrets. So stop accepting this new standard and get over it.

It doesnt hinder "your" gameplay, completionist now have to purchase, games use to have challenges, secrets, and bosses unlock these things. Gameplay does change, grinds becone longer etc.

To each their own, but EA wont stop pushing greed over making better games until people stop giving them money. Its why their sport franchises are just rehashes and now they are trying to push that monetization to other games.
