Over the last few years, the sheer number of special editions to come out has pretty much ruined the meaning of the phrase, as each game that hits retail gets some form of limited edition or a special item to justify its price bump. With that, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss how the changes in the market are pushing developers and retailers to find new ways to generate profit, and if this trend is ultimately hurting you, the consumer.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
I wanted it to include apocalypse survival gear and a Joel-beard
I'll read this in a few months when it's on clearance.
Right first of all apparently ND has said that the statue by it's self cost them $199 so if true count yourself lucky
Number 2
I'm so p***** off this isn't coming to Europe, I said something on the SCEE blog, all of us complaining about this by the way and my response was typical, SCEE worming their way round the question.
"Many factors come into play when making these editions. There might be opportunities for everyone to get the contents of the editions in other countries via promos and contests in the future."
So basically we Europe/UK fans have to compete in a contest and rely on luck to win one
ND have said that SCEE are the ones who decided what to release in their region so I would love to know what the many factors are....why the hell would they give us a smaller artbook, comic, no steelbook and no statue.
I have no idea how this article is related to all your tags. "(Call of Duty, Forza Motorsport 4, Industry, PS Vita, PS3, Resident Evil 6, The Last Of Us, Wii U, Xbox 360)"
Really?
I'm all ready getting two collectors editions.
Naruto ninja Storm 3 namco club edition collection
God of War Acsension Collectors.
Thinking about getting one of the Last of Us editions but I don't know if I really want any other than the standard with preorder bonuses. These collections sure get me sometimes haha.
