MP games need micros to keep the lights on. Path of Exile is a good game with micros. It can be done as long is the game is not the scheme itself.

CrimsonWing6950d ago (Edited 50d ago )

You end up paying more than $70 in micros for a game specifically designed around them and that’s not a “scheme” by design?

I’ve played plenty of great MP games that didn’t have micros. I love how at one point we were like micros bad, GaaS bad, and now we’re like, well GaaS is MP so it’s ok.

anast49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Path is a free game. How else are they supposed to keep the servers on? You don't need up spending more . I've been playing the game since the beginning and I've spent less than $20.

Destiny on the other hand....

An MP game embedded in a SP game shouldn't have them.

I know you understand this. I have to be optimistic here.

@anast

I’d argue “free to play” are more egregious than just a traditional pay to play game. You end up spending far more on a game than just $70 and I think the “free” games are sneaky by design to make a consumer think “well, it’s free, let me dump money into it.” I mean, they’re specifically designed to make you continuously put money into them. I heard with Path of Exile you hit a point where the grind is obnoxious without buying micros.

Odd, I remember micro transactions for Witcher 3

CrimsonWing6949d ago

What micro-transactions do you remember being in Witcher 3?

FinalFantasyFanatic49d ago

I agree, I never pay for microtransactions, and in the few cases where I have, I've felt dirty afterwards, especially when older games used to give you so much content for free (like cosmetics).

Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.

Rynxie34m ago

Unfortunately, their games aren't big sellers. Will MS shut them down if hellblade 2 sells below expectations?

"Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible."

Indeed.

Just a few hours to go

I can´t wait!

z2g3h ago

badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.

jwillj2k43h ago

Here we go again. Is this a game or a choose your own adventure???

purple1013h ago

if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,

no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.

jwillj2k42h ago

Never questioned the quality. Question is will there be a need for the controller.

Tedakin39m ago

If it's anything like the first game, you will spend a lot of timing walking and solving puzzles, with some fights thrown in.

Elda2h ago

LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.

Obscure_Observer36m ago

After the midnight? I see...

Day one as expected for another game that you said you had zero interest.

rlow12h ago

It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.

Didn’t a leak about a max Payne remake surface a while ago?

banger881d 1h ago

I hope it's Mafia 4. And I really hope it's set during the 70s or 80s, and not a prequel of the first game as was rumoured.

PrecursorOrb10h ago

Hoping for a Vegas mafia over here

DustMan5h ago

Now that would be a great setting.

TheColbertinator9h ago

Mafia 4 would be cool if set in a 70s to 80s era
