Agheil writes - " Fellow gamers, we gave all this hate towards EA, Activision is adding weapon supply drops tomorrow, where you can purchase COD points with real world money to get. "

This is true! I dont understand people who are ok with this either. :-/

alphafallen2779d ago

people quickly forget and get on the "Next Wave"...

UltraNova2778d ago

Ok guys listen why dont we join forces and start raging against any and all mallpractices in the gaming industry? I mean look at what happend to Hollywood and the sexual assault charges flying left right and center like crazy, its like a Tsunami against those who did wrong to others. Tell me it aint working!

Let Battlefront 2 be the start of a Tsunami against MTs in games. Lets get our voices heard once and for all.

SirBradders2778d ago

@Ultra Nova, or just not buy them.

I would be interested to see if Sony or Microsoft get a cut. If not why can't they implement a system similar to Phones where they can be blocked entirely.

indyman77772778d ago (Edited 2778d ago )

@ultranova RIGHT ON! The biggest voices is NOT buying a game and not pre ordering a game. See the recent ones for why they are not doing a tenth as well.

Battlefront being the biggest from being by FAR the run away number one to dropping out of the top 10. It is the largest IP on the PLANET by the largest publisher on the planet and we won with money votes and loud voices.

The only person that can't effect game publishers is the one that does not know he can.

You see Money is a direct vote and repeating comments is like a negative news story for a politician, it will cause them to lose the election. When a ostrich sticks there head up and defends this stuff and say you cant do anything about it. Call them the ostrich and defeated fool that they are.

I’m happy to see others aggree :)

OB1Biker2779d ago

I don't see much complaining about expensive season pass either

fenome2779d ago

I stopped buying COD long ago. A lot of good it's done. Lol

Activision and EA have been up to the same kind of stuff for a long time. At least before they used to keep it more in the background but now they're just making their whole games around it without any shame at all whatsoever.

morganfell2778d ago

Where's the hate for the HALO 5 Req packs?

RommyReigns2778d ago

Same with FIFA, probably hush money floating around and using Star Wars Battlefront II as the distraction.

itsmebryan2778d ago

Because people like to get on the bandwagon. It's "cool" to hate EA now.

combatcash2778d ago

IMO WW2 weapons are well balanced. I've unlocked some of the Heroic versions of the weapons, and never felt it was an advantage, in fact I use default guns over the unlocked guns. I haven't purchased any loot boxes, and don't know anyone who has, but I'm sure there's plenty of folks that have spent their hard earned money on those things. If there's any advantages being created for people who buy these loot boxes, I haven't felt that way. Also the reason this stand off was so effective against Star Wars, is because it was caught before release, and also because it isn't COD.

indyman77772778d ago

I know why....It is simple. Remember that scripture in the book no one reads?
A QUOUTE: WHAT IS IN A NAME. The last word. NAME

It is not called Loot box people dont associate it until after they wasted their money on it.

Case in point Donald Trumps Tax Cut plan. It is named CUT so naturally you would assume that most people will get a CUT. But since most people are not Rich they will recieve a increase. Because people go by judgmental reasoning which is assuming.

If it was called Loot boxes or Micro transactions people would get it. DONT BE FOOLED by a name.

firelens2779d ago

I was wondering the same ! why has no one said anything for WW2 since theyre bringing weapon supply drops ??

Agheil2779d ago

I noticed this on COD WW2 and was wondering the same, so I decided to say something :)

N12779d ago

Too busy playing the game, they don’t realize where this could be going in the future smh...

DanteVFenris6662779d ago

Because they are adding it secretly after launch date.

Rude-ro2779d ago

And by secretly... the last 3 years

StormLegend2779d ago

At least sledgehammer made it easy to get Supply drops for free and you have a higher rate of getting them. Also this is COD its been having Supply Drops for like 5-6 games now.

StormLegend2779d ago

Every single thing EA does is for money and they don't deserve any gratitude. No passion for gaming anymore and they need to leave the gaming industry. I can't hate activision the same way.

Agheil2779d ago

The conversation here is that this is still a pay to get ahead aspect. Pay more get more drops, thus more chances at new weapons. This shouldn’t be ok.

I enjoy COD but if they want FTP aspect then they should go FTP. But no, more and more people are just accepting it....

Monster_Tard2779d ago

Activision is just as bad, if not worse. They have paid DLC on top of the microtransactions in COD, not even EA is doing that with Battlefront 2.

ravinash2778d ago

EA thing is charging to get a head in the game.
Activision thing is giving you only half the game to start with and then charging you extra to get the other half.
I'm staying clear of both.

Jaypi032779d ago

That's like saying, yeah i gotta take it up the backside against my will...but at least he's using lube so it's not all THAT bad.

ginsunuva2779d ago

It's always butt analogies

_-EDMIX-_2779d ago

...ok

Or you could understand they're both bad , i have no clue what's this obsession with this website with this (either or) that people literally fail to understand that both companies can be seen as bad for doing this practice.

I don't see this any more positive than what Electronic Arts was doing.

TheGamez1002779d ago

Well I mean there already were tons of talk and drama about the supply drops in bo3. Something I wish was heavily opposed by the mass community. Sadly people didnt care and just kept purchasing them. Now theres this and activisions patent for encouraging ppl to buy microtransactions. Would be great if the world can rebel this too lol.

PlayStation Summer Sale Gets Even Bigger

The PlayStation Summer sale expands with a load of new discounts.

Aloymetal1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Including indies I’ve bought like more than 20 games, good deals all around.

P_Bomb1426d ago

I’ve overindulged too! Gonna pump the brakes on this next round. Unless there’s a PS+ discount. Need a cheap sub for my kid so I’m not always changing primaries.

solideagle1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

could you please suggest good indie games (which are on sale)? I love JRPGs or action RPGs but I can play almost any genre e.g. Transistor is £3.74 which I think is a steal :)

shinoff21831426d ago

Check out earthlock. Its pretty good

Old school jrpg try cosmic star heroine I really like that one

Aloymetal1426d ago

Disco elysium, man eater, inside, limbo
Dead cells, observer, to name a few

LoveSpuds1426d ago

Don't sleep on Darkest Dungeon, Child of Morta or Spiritfarer.

Although it won't be on sale, the best indie I have ever played is release in a week or so, it may be 20 quid but you have to play Hades.

GhostofHorizon1426d ago

Told my partner to stop me from browsing. We'll see how that goes, the first part of the sale already got me.

ElvisHuxley1426d ago (Edited 1426d ago )

Anthem 85% off? Thought they went free to play. Has the game gotten any better?
Edit-Nvm, it's Europe anyway.

Hellcat20201426d ago

The second phase of sales is for all regions
It's just not yet showing up in the ps store

Servbot411426d ago

They abandoned Anthem. Typical EA.

CobraKai1426d ago

I can’t believe they’re still trying to sell it

BioShockGX1425d ago

Got Anthem for $5 last year. Not a bad game for that price lol

ElvisHuxley1424d ago

Appreciate the downvotes folks. I guess merely asking a question bothers the incredibly mature users here.

I might finally go for Black Desert. I've been playing ESO (without MTing my characters) for some throw away entertainment, but the combat is so "#$&&%.

Servbot411426d ago

BDO sucks. Only good for the character creator.

anast1426d ago

Is the combat worth it?

Phoenixryu1426d ago

I tried BDO a few months ago. It's a decent game but I got bored of it pretty quickly. Combat is very action-based, it's fun but very repetitive. There are a lot of menus and most of the in-game systems are a bit more complicated than they needed to be. Some game modes won't let you buy and sell certain items until you convert to a different mode etc. Basically, the game is kind of convoluted.

phoenixwing1426d ago

The mobs barely react in bdo. You can kill half of a mob of enemies before they'll even attack. You'll basically be grinding mobs until you can fight a boss that will even react well. Don't recommend it

anast1425d ago

Thanks. Is there an alternative to ESO?

phoenixwing1425d ago

@anast I'd recommend playing the single player version of es if you haven't exhausted your playthroughs

EvertonFC1426d ago

Highly recommend the "metro saga bundle" £25 all 3 games and all DLC plus free upgrade for ps5 exodus 😊
