😂😂 you weren't too abrasive, you didn't mean any harm as you're only speaking the truth about what's going on.
I don't come from your angle though. I'm not thinking we're in a state of disarray. I look at Brexit and everyone saying the world is gonna end if we don't leave. Now we're trying to leave, what's happened? Nothing. I don't feel any different and I chose to remain. I'm not concerned either as we'll deal it either way. The people that wanna moan will still moan. That's just life.
My want from games is more on a small scale for me. I want to selfishly know I'll get hours of game time out of it and there's objectives to chase and complete. The biggest thing for me though is finding games I can have some fun with my mates. This game has some potential in that, after seeing the reviews it is a game that can deliver some good grouping up options. The worry is for me the endgame isn't enough for everyones playstyle. Destiny 2 shown that when they dumbed down their progression to endgame and then we were left with 5 Powerful objectives for months which could be done in an hour.
I'm where Biron is right now but I know sometimes I get swayed by, "I love games, I want a new game". If that happens then I'll consider it.
To me, I don't want to change buying games in the marketplace, it's how games are maintained going forward. I wont buy their DLC if its shit and everyone doesn't wanna play it.
I've only ever pre-ordered one game. Destiny 2. I've only bought their DLC because I enjoy their content. If they show willingness here, I want to be more willing to show the love back however, I'm agreeing with your view that if its isn't worth playing I wont give them further money.
I just wont stop buying games because they need to change their business models (also, I'll be bored to fuck as I wont buy any MP games taking that approach). Focused efforts on not supporting their monetization is the way I like to focus my efforts in games.
After all this. Will I buy the game for £60? Hell no.
Will I buy the game for £43 which I've found (30% reduction) - possibly but still not sure.
We're derailing the endgame anthem thread a little so whilst I'm trying to answer your gaming world discussion, I'm still trynna keep this relevant to Anthem.
P.S. ideally, I just want my Sega cartridge games back which probably are worth far less than £60 as it's not maintained and they have about 8 levels but that's how my mind works and I know it won't happen anytime soon 😘
P.P.S. I did not want to buy Division 1. You told us to buy it because you said it was great, so I bought it regardless of what content or business model they had at the time. We all have different drivers to buy games and that's okay. 😀
