This week's UK chart is in. EA eases us into October with FIFA 18 riding the UK chart high, pushing Destiny 2 to #2 in the process.
Like all great photographs, the covers of the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer video games capture a moment in time. But which ones have been best?
BY PHANTOM: Why should someone who has worked hard and grinded day in, day out to build up enough resources to gain quick repairs, be in the same game world as people who have purchased the kits with real-world money instantaneously?
One of the most well thought out and factual article I've read on micro transactions. I've hated the practice because to me it's just wrong unless it's a F2P title.
What gets me is the ones who say "if you don't like it don't buy it" well I don't but enough do, more than enough and it's really conditioning a generation to just accept it as "this is normal."
That's why I rally to those companies that still deliver solid FULL games. Games that are not only incredible to experience but are of some of the best quality. On the flip side that's why Im so anti certain companies. They want to deliver games that seem so sterile and cut content to sell to customers in the game stores.
I lump the GAAS, loot boxes and micotransactions into the same pile because they all exist together in one form or another.
The devs who came from the mobile game model really played s hand in getting the attention of the suits.
Microtransactions are the worst thing that has happened to video games this generation and because of them now games are being designed with them in mind.
Here’s the thing, until people stop buying them they will always exist. It’s a market and a multi-billion dollar one at that.
If people didn’t buy them then publishers wouldn’t waste their time on them.
Last year's Football/Soccer simulation, Fifa 18 has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
The UK likes soccer and Playstation, who knew xD
I know a lot of people complain about the likes of Sony or Microsoft paying huge amount of money for advertisement rights. But this shows they pay off. With Sony getting the advertisement rights. A lot more people went with PlayStation this year. Last year Microsoft had the market rights as well as exclusive Legends for UT. It didn't help them sell more copy's than the PS4 version but it was close (last year 53% of sales where for PlayStation). Now that Microsoft don't have the rights or the exclusive Legends for UT anymore it seems more people have went with the PS4 version.
