J4MES OX4D 9,776 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 OOF That's a lotta coinage and shardage. Although it's 'not final' and needs to be 'balanced' in the words of BioWank; you can kinda see where this game is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I mean you shared a screenshot of cosmetics and their prices, with "oof" prior. When it comes to the cosmetic world, as long as there are no items to be bought, no javelins, etc then it's a non issue. Agreed you have to wait to see, but you also kind jumped the gun with judgement until it's out. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,561 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Cosmetics, meh don't care, that's between the kids, their parents and their credit card bills[emoji23]If its just the thin end of the wedge and prep for pay to win I think they'd get a shit storm, so hopefully won't happen...Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBiron 1,406 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Assuming it's £1 per 100 shards then that's £20 for a skin. FUCK THAT! I'd pay a quid or 2. That's it. J4MES OX4D and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's greedy, looks tacky and just oozes desperation to make money the easy way. Possibly £20 for a skin they could make in an hour which is 40% of the cost of the actual game is just outrageous even if it doesn't affect gameplay. If they have to have such aggressive monetization in play then they must have low projections and expectations for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'm not gonna lose my shit. Yet. I hear you Rob but on this one I feel like Angry Joe is right below. Cosmetic microtransactions are absolutely fine in my book....but not at $20. Not even at $10. It smells of Bioware testing out the reaction so when they bring it down to $10 it's somehow acceptable. Microtransactions should be built so you reinvest in a game you enjoy and they use that to invest further into improvements over time. Skins should only $3-4 max imo. Unless it's a super duper glorious shiny rainbow one that has emotes inbuilt and can interact with enemies in a funny way. That one is pay $£5-6 for J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispymorgan 1,041 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Couldn't care less about cosmetics. But I'm starting to feel that games are money extraction devices first, game second, and it's starting to show. Swathes of game held back for DLC. No Pre-orders............
