Because of corporate. People keep buying them and they are making a ton of cash doing little work.

Well it's part and parcel of the industry now. Lip service or not, almost all devs are now doing it, even the most beloved ones.

Godmars2903077d ago

@Septic:
Thing is there's lip service, overstating the quality of the service or product you're trying to sell, then there's saying something that wholly contradicts what you're doing. Talking up 1080p when your game only does 900p, then saying adding an extra paid element to game you've bought wont unbalance gameplay when it clearly does. That paying more adds value. That's verbal gymnastics.

I don't care what company it is: $60 dollar games should not have microtransactions in them

The same concerns being "How can we get the money without annoying anyone?"

Paying for shortcuts helps no one except the company

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb830d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni829d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic1139d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure1138d ago (Edited 1138d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
