RIP Playerunknown's Battlegrounds

I'm alright with normalfags getting shit on by companies. Maybe they will finally leave.

>cosmetics loot crate that is paid for 1 month to raise funds for an event and then will go free
Thank the Lord and Savior Jesus H. Christ I didn't sink an hour's pay into this game.

if it gave advantages like in TF2 they can fuck off.

I fucking DESPISE this shit. Remember when you fucking unlocked cosmetics for doing cool shit in-game or at least using in-game currency? God damn, Overwatch-esque loot boxes are one thing but NOTHING is worse than fucking crates you unlock for free and then need to buy a key to unlock. One of the worst fucking cancers in gaming history because now that it's proven to make retards BLEED money everyone fucking does it.

>>385223667
weapons come in crates and they have different stats

that is overall unfair in the game itself(since i played before that shit was added )

it's only skins so who cares

>>385222936
Kek you think paid loot crates will end here.

>>385223864
All weapons can be crafted or obtained via drops.

But this is getting retarded, you don't earn cosmetics playing the game and you can't even fucking buy the cosmetic you want, you buy a motherfucking CHANCE to get the cosmetic you want.

And the worst part is that it's fucking added to UNFINISHED game.
I knew this game was a scam, just like every other early access bullshit and at this point only literal retards fall for this shit.

in no game with paid crates is the drop rate going to get what you want in any reasonable amount of time. spent 100's of hours in each game like dota, csgo, kf2, tf2, etc and it doesn't even make a dent.

Nothing wrong with that. The more popular something is, the more likely it will be made for the lowest common denominator and not be fun for people with standards.

PUBG is going the CSGO route of costing money and having a lottery, so you cannot use the other 3 as a reference for success if they're not the same marketing scheme

What's the problem here? This doesn't change my enjoyment of the game in any sense. Devs get more money from retards and I don't pay anything extra. Unless the schoolgirl outfit comes with built in body armour I don't give a fuck.

>>385228152

There will be ghillie suits and other camouflage items you fucking retard, which is an advantage in gameplay.

Why does /v/ care about cosmetics in a game where you can find cosmetics lying on the ground in matches???

anyone have a discount code for playerunkown battle grounds?????

A lot of people say that but there is a mind game that plays in your head when everyone has super fancy shit and you are wearing the default items. Whether you like it or not, your enjoyment will be altered because of these cosmetic items. Happens in real life as well with cars, phones and clothes.

>>385228283
in the crate update the only way to get cosmetics will be real money purchases.

This is what has been ruining video games since 2007. This is not a good thing. Retards funneling money into cosmetics and useless non-additions makes other companies focus building their games entirely around this concept, creating an entire generation of games centered around 'loot crates' and 'cosmetic DLC' and more and more and more microtransactions.

I hate you all.

>>385228605

It doesn't matter that you're anonymous. Knowing that there's someone out there with this opinion is embarrassing in its own right.

>These guns should be in the game already

If the game was out of early access, sure. This is more like expecting the contractor to have a roof on your house when they're still building the walls. If guns are so unimportant then you should be fine with the amount that you already have.

Everyone should be rallying in unison to get new items added that require achieving certain things. Now that would be interesting. Imagine a helmet of some kind you can only get if you get all achievements in the game, or a weapon skin if you kill a certain number of players with that weapon model. If they added stuff like that which gets people to play the game, then I don't care what mtx they add to the game, they can add all they want as long as there's more cool stuff players can get just by playing.

Now your shilling the early access excuse. Tell me. Does this look like a game that would need to have early access? To use the contractor example. Imagine construction workers working really fucking slowly on a small shed and saying " aw jeez we are working really hard on this. The instructions are so hard." Any intellectual person would notice the bullshit and call them out. A retard would be fine and say "I'm fine with paying these guys for little to no work." That's basically this game and the community surrounding it.

>>385229756
It's the devs job to please the players. What do you think the devs will get out of this? They'll think people just want them to remove mtx and call it a day. Nothing cool will actually come of it. Players ought to learn to make suggestions rather than just whine.

I don't have the game, are those random drops you got or what? I thought you just bought new hats with the in game currency.
How did you get those that makes them so valuable is what I'm wondering, I guess?

>>385229914

>>385229474
>I call it the "not playing those games maneuver".
Let me know how well that works for you in a year or two when EVERY developer is deploying these kinds of microtransactions just to get a slice of that pie, kiddo. Trends influence the industry, and there won't be "other games" to play if everyone is jumping on board with this shit.

I've literally never bought a cosmetic in a game in my entire life. I've never even been tempted to, it's retarded.

Worrying about cosmetics in games is something a fucking 14 year old girl would do. Stop being such a fucking vag and let other people pay for your gameplay.

PAID EXPANSION PACK ARE BETTER THAN MICROTRANSACTION.
A COSMETIC EXPANSION PACK WORTH 50$ THAT CONTAINS A HUNDRED OF COSMETIC IS STILL WORTH MORE THAN A SHITTY CRATE GIVING YOU 1 ITEM.

YOU KNOW WHY DO THESE KIND OF SHITTY THING WORK? THAT'S BECAUSE CASUAL FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DLC COSTING 5$ WITH A MINUSCULE AMOUNT OF COSMETIC ARE A SCAM, AND COMPANY MADE MICROTRANSACTION TO MAKE IT SEEMS "FAIRER".

GIVE ME A DAMN COSMETIC EXPANSION PACK FOR 50$ THAT GIVES ME EVERY SINGLE COSMETIC IN IT FOR FREE, FUCK YOU YOU DAMN KIKES!

>>385230401

Well that just shows the flaw in your shitty construction analogy. Games aren't houses fucko.

And yeah it does, did you see the bugs on release? The game also runs much better now, both in performance and netcode. A game designed to hold 100 people on a map is obviously going to benefit from have a large playerbase to test it.

You can do all those things in other shoot and kill deathmatch games. It's just cosmetics though, so what's the big deal?


This whole argument is hilarious by the way. You have anons constanly repeating that the cosmetics aren't important, so who cares. Then anons act like added guns is some great achievment and can be described as "additional game content". You realize they are putting more effort into adding more microtransaction cosmetics right? So instead of spending time working on and adding all that "additional content" they are working on the new gimick outfit/skin that they can get idiots to spend $5-$10 on. Once that starts to dry up, then they change the game again, because guess what, it's a fucking early access title, so they can fuck with everything still. Good buy unlocked loot crates, now you need to pay a monthly subscription for the various levels of keys. But don't fret, they are willing to bundle them altogether for steal of a price. Can't open up any advanced loot crates without'em; only the shitty free boxes and rare random crates that might spawn something better. But wait, there's more. Microtransaction armored vehicles!

>>385222776

Then why did they price their game at 30? They should've been smart and figured out how best to break even and eventually profit. Their fucking fault, why does the consumer end up screwed over?

why do gamers have irrational fear and hate for microtransactions?

they are completely voluntary

>>385231146
So.. is it a inability to read? Or you people just lack reading comprehension?

Literally the point of both posts is that adding cosmetic lootboxes are fine. But why not go the route of several other games and make them obtainable in game.

So let me spell it out. The issue isn't the addition of cosmetic lootboxes, The issue is the system in which they are using for these cosmetic lootboxes.

>>385231259

It's more like they continue to paint your house for a price, fancy up your interior for a price, do some landscaping for a price, and basically everything else that doesn't really have utility, for a price. Meanwhile, every so often, less and less as time goes on, they add something that your house actually needs, like walls, a roof, running water, electricity, you know, the basics that make a house actually worth living in. But it's ok bro, you only paid half price for this house and under terms that the contractor never actually has to finish the job. Sorry about your luck bud.

If you can't do that, don't buy the game and fuck off.

Makes people think they're getting a discount over the standard $60 price tag in exchange for "free" content updates, when they're really paying money for a blatantly unfinished product. It's also why free-to-play is completely unsustainable today, since it doesn't FEEL as good playing a free game than it is buying an unfinished game and watching it slowly get completed (assuming it ever does).

Very, VERY rarely will you see a weapon worth more than a scrap.

I love all the shills from yesterday saying how this game is too big to fail.

Beginning of the end here folks. If you thought crates were bad Wait until you see the playerbase divide over FPS mode.

But PUBG already said months ago they'll implement microtransactions when the game gets out of early access.

What's the problem here?

1. They technically lied, since they said there'd be no mtx until they were out of EA. Though it's really not that big a deal.
2. It's a big deal because there are people ready and glad to be angry over things.

Don't doubt it for a fucking second, the majority of posts and negative reviews getting slammed on the game right now are from people who were looking for the opportunity to leap on that gave them the OK to just rail on the game. Not saying it's fine to lie, or that this isn't kind of a shitty thing from the devs, but well you know how it goes. People get riled up because they want attention.

Well when the game comes out of early access you can refund it.

Until then you can grab loot crate and sell them for real money to fund future steam titles. Isn't that a good thing?

Cosmetic items in TF2 had no effect on the game for me. I have a mod that removes 95% of them and personally I don't wear any.
It's gameplay that matters to me and with CSGO model in PUBG I'll earn loads of steambux from selling crates so why not.

You can refund every early access game that comes out of early access because it resets the play time.

The issue is that devs stay in early access in order to stop this from happening. PUBG is slated to come out by next year so people can refund it by then.

I haven't played the game since it looks like shit.

Shouldn't they like try to first improve literally everything before pouring resources into fucking loot crates and skins and crap like that?

>Gameplay doesn't change
damn right it won't considering the developers are more interested in adding microtransactions than finishing their fucking game

People are so entitled they expect games not to have cosmetic MTX nowadays

Especially after buying a discount-priced game, that would only be worth ~$14 in 1991

Really MTX are doing you a favor, would you really want to pay $120 for every game?

glad i held back on buying this game

First person servers and an FOV slider comes out the same day. Bug fixes just came out. We already have footage of vaulting / other animations and a new map, no doubt on the way. Boy what exactly are you complaining about?

>I wanted to get first-person servers up. It's taken us a while because it required a lot of work from our end, so we had to change the FOV and move the camera position up a bit.

>I love first-person and there's a big community out there that like first-person servers. That's the way they want to play. You shouldn't look at it as hardcore, we're not doing anything like that. We're removing the crosshair, because it's more immersive. You should really try it, it's a different experience.

That's objectively wrong because the Meet Your Match Update happened.

It's like the faggots that thought sm4sh was worse because they "wasted time" making the party games.

oh shit son a first person camera and an fov slider, i'm sure that took the poor devs all of 5 minutes to code between adding microtransactions to an early access title

>>385234858

oh shit son a handful of new clothing items and a crate system already in the game, i'm sure that took the poor devs all of 5 minutes to model between adding bug fixes and creating new content for an early access title

>>385234989
Go outside.

>>385227116
and thats not even the real issue. i could see if he was selling the entire battle royal event for like 10-15 dollars. but he's introduced gambling micro transactions. thats the scummiest thing a dev can do cause there willfully betting on your addiction.

>playing buggy battleground/battleroyale games in 2017

keep gettin fucked early access lads

>>385235164
not an argument

Why are you retards complaining? If the CSGO model is adopted successfully you'll be selling crates for 5 steambux when they are new. This is pure profit.

If a developer can't figure out a way to implement shit without hiding it behind crates and paywalls after you already spend money buying the game, they shouldn't be making games. What better solution should we recommend? DONT put microtransactions in a game you have to fucking pay for, it doesn't matter if its just cosmetics. What matters is that the developer decided it's okay to add free to play elements to a buy to play game.

>>385234870
Why would anyone?
This same exact fucking game gets released under different names every year or so.
What a joke. I bet the russians did this.

>All these PUBG rejects happy that they were lied to
>Oh player unknown please shit in my mouth more it'll taste great!

I guess these are the same people brought no man's sky and shilled that it had the perfect amount of content with no deception what so ever.

>>385235113
yeah i'm sure they're definitely not wasting time on microtransactions and are REALLY pushing the game forward, thats why its still in early access

>>385235239
The fuck are you talking about?

you guys are fucking crazy rofl. Its like everyone who is against this new update thinks that you HAVE to buy this stuff for some reason. I paid the $30 to get in and have nearly 200 hours of play. Its a great experience with friends. I got my moneys worth already and have put more time into this game than some $60 AAA titles i have purchased in the past. I could totally justify spending a couple more dollars on keys if i wanted and still stay under the $60 price tag of other retail games. There is value in this game if you know how to find it and have cool people to play it with. Even solo can be fun if you arent terrible

>Pubg in early access
now we wait until its out of early access and everyone can mass refund like KF2

>>385222776
>kill key buying shitter
>take his 60$ outfit
>wear it the whole match for free

What's the issue?

>>385234614
>Really MTX are doing you a favor, would you really want to pay $120 for every game?

Devs don't have the balls to do this because no one in their right mind is going to pay 1/4 the price of a PS4 Pro for one shitting game. Especially not the children who devs rely on to buy the microtransactions with their parents' credit card.

What will eventually happens is sales steadily drop because people spent all their money on MTX. They don't have money to buy new games, so publishers stop making games except for the one Call of Battleduty title in winter to cram MTX in. Then people only buy one or the other so everyone's left with only Call of Duty left.

>it's fun with friends!
you mean like every other game in existence? faggot

>>385225594

nice lying faggot

>>385235550
Having fun with your friends =/= having fun with a game with your friends

>>385235504
steam should make a rule that you cant sell dlc in an unfinished [early access] thats spoiling them to be lazy.

>>385229639
>It's just GIVE ME FREE SHIT OR I BOYCOTT and that's it.

They already paid for the game what are you talking about.

>>385234614
>Really MTX are doing you a favor, would you really want to pay $120 for every game?
games in the late 90's and early 00's had more content than games today and they didn't charge 120 bucks for them

The game sold 5 fucking million fucking copies, why do they need to introduce microtransactions on top of it all? for fuck's sake
