I don't think Warner Bros. is going to crash and burn anytime soon, but I do the same thing. The only way to make these companies stop is to vote with your wallet.
With that said though, if you buy the game, they'll still interpret that as a positive vote that the cash shop is OK.

This. I loved Shadow of Mordor enough that I'm still playing it from time to time, grabbing screenshots and even have my follower and nemesis ready for the sequel but I don't think I'll be buying it anytime soon now. Might just give it a pass till it's half off for the GOTY edition. Microtransactions in singleplayer games is not okay. I don't care whether they're in the form of loot boxes, xp boosts or whatever the fuck else there is. When there's a financial incentive for the dev to make the game more tedious than it needs to be due to the existence of a cash shop, my guards goes all the way up. Such a goddamned shame, I no longer have anything to look forward to for the rest of the year.

I just played Shadow of Morder recently since it was dirt cheap in that last Steam sale and I'm aware that it won countless awards the year it came out.

Having played it I can say it's a complete piece of trash, Musou is honestly a more entertaining button masher than this game.
Is this really what Americans enjoy?

Just the gimmick system and the satisfying animations, I guess. I don't think it won any awards at all though, just a self-claimed GOTY for the GOTY edition. Most people have the game because it dropped to like $20 only a few months after release.

>I remember people generally praising the combat system and generally shitting on the combat system of musou games.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone compare Mordor's combat with Musou's. Mordor's combat gets a lot of flak too for being a severely dumbed down version of Bamham's combat. Aside from the satisfying takedown animations, there's almost nothing good about it. Just a whole lot of mediocrity.

As for what makes a good combat system, I dunno. I guess, off the top of my head:
>variety of moves
>moves/combos can be chained together for even more versatility
>large enemy variety with their own strenghts and weaknesses, weapon choice, movesets etc.
>good number of enemies as well as enemy placement/mob variety so the fights have a good matchup
>good animations without too much delay or i-frames to abuse
There's probably more but I haven't really given it much thought. I guess the bottom line is that I want to execute flashy moves and take down enemies by actually doing shit, not just hitting a button combination and watching an elaborate takedown animation.

>>386333553
>I don't think I've ever seen anyone compare Mordor's combat with Musou's.
No I haven't seen that widely either, I wasn't suggesting it.
That was what I noticed myself when I was surrounded by orcs who only attacks one at a time and I cleared them all out by spamming one button.
Morder is certainly heavier on animation but the core concept is the same.

I bring up the comparison because I see people who hate Musou love Morder and I have no way of rationalising that myself. I guess they really like the animations?
>>
>>386333449
That type of advice doesn't work on big budget projects.
>>
>>386333662
>b-but other people are going to buy it
Faulty reasonings like this are the reason retards allowed paid online to be a thing.
>>
>>386333654
I enjoy them both. Although most Musou games I played had attacks that hit groups of enemies, and you only went one on one versus bosses. So I don't see how it's like Mordor at all, where all attacks are for single targets only.

I guess so anon. Personally, I find myself able to enjoy both Musou's and Mordor's combat, though I won't call either of them good or in-depth. They're just entertaining in their own way and work well enough in their own games.

Yes, thank you for understanding our point then.

I love baiting as much as the next guy, but please read his full post. The key thing here is that while you can buy steel that you can use to buy in-game crates that give you randomized gear, the gear you get out of it matches your reputation level and is no better or worse than the randomized gear of some other player who didn't spend a single dime on the micro transactions. I suppose you can argue that it gives you a better change of getting the gear stats that you want, but the key thing here is that your gear cannot possible be more or less powerful than the gear of another player who didn't spend irlbux on the game.

We're not arguing that it's pay-2-win anon. We're arguing that they make you grind like a motherfucker (which is hell with FH's abysmal connection issues) to get the shit you want to push you towards purchasing crates with real money. The game becomes a chore to play especially since you get the most gear drops and steel from doing dom and elim matches, not duels, in which gear stats matter. There's reason for people to worry when they start pushing microtransaction bullshit in singleplayer game. In multiplayer, another human player might be better than you, which hinders your progress towards getting better loot and shit by winning in addition to the devs making things cost a shitton to push you towards the cash shop. In a singleplayer game, it's all on the devs to find ways to force people to use the cash shop. I'm not so naive that I'll just believe that the devs won't try to make things tedious as fuck for me to progress in order to monetise my frustrations. They have to earn that trust by providing guarantees, explanations, video evidences or all of the above. They're not guaranteed a sale just because they put out a product.

So... here is a fun question.
WHEN DID THIS EVER WORK?!
When did microtransactions in singleplayer game EVER WORKED and did not completely backfire?

This is something that completely baffles me. I get the DLC's, the annoying pre-order ones in particular because I can kinda see those actually making a lot money, maybe enough to actually ballance out the community backlashes... But singleplayer microtransactions have never actually worked. They cause massive community outrages but I don't know of a single case where they would really actually make a lot of fucking money. Why the fuck are developers still trying this shit? Did they not learn from fucking Dead Space 3? That Asscreed game?

The fuck? "Oh yeah, we got very good standing with the community for doing a decent sandbox game with this one innovative mechanic that a lot of people enjoyed. Let's take inspiration for our next step from one game that killed a franchise and other than nearly killed it!"

Jesus one has to wonder the fuck is going on in the minds of those fucking morons. These people must be like cartoonishly stupid. This is not "cynical, exploitative business men" evil, this is wile e coyote level of stupid.
>>
>>386335957

they studied Skinner Boxes and casinos. this isn't about providing value by positively adding to a product to solve a problem or satisfy a need. this is about extracting value by manipulating player psychology

Really?
Because Dead State, Assassin's Creed Unity, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Need For Speed Pro:Street seem to fucking disagree. I also ain't aware that Sleeping Dogs EX packs were a smashing hit considering that SQUEENIX had to remove them from the game after a little less than a year...

I actually wanted to preorder the game full price, remembering how much fun I had with the first one.
Then I saw the price for the full version with all DLCs. Then I checked dev stream and saw some kind of gold currency that implied microtransactions.
Someone at WB really doesn't want my money. Their loss. Maybe I'll buy it in a few years at a massive discount. Maybe I'll pirate it.

what duty did they owe you?
how did they breach that duty?
what are your damages?
and how are your damages proximately caused by their breach?

>That retarded argument about why micro-transactions are okay
Fucking retard literally completely missed the point of why this shit is a problem. That being the twofold reasons that:
1. When you buy a game all of that game's content should be freely available and designed to be accessible without expending any additional money
2. When micro-transaction features are introduced into a game the developers are incentivised (often even forced by their publishers) to design the game to be less enjoyable and more tedious for those who do not spend money.

For anyone who needs proof, you simply have to look at literally any game with these types of micro-transactions, it's immediately obvious upon playing these games that they are designed to make the game tedious and unfun enough when played for free that the player is forced to either bear with the game not being fun or pay extra money to make the game fun.

For a game that is free this isn't a problem, can't really complain about a free 2 play game not being that fun when you don't spend any money one it because it's something you can still play for free. However when you already payed full price for the game it not only feels insulting but also just downright wrong to have certain aspects of the game made deliberately less fun purely to try and force you to spend even more money beyond the full price tag just to make the game fun.
>>
>>386341695
Because I enjoyed the first game but refuse to support anti-consumer practices like micro-transactions in full price games.
>>
>>386341836
They're toilet paper, but only if you bring them to court and by that point you have spent more in your lawyer and your case than if you bought the same game 1000 times.
>>
>>386341836
My understanding is that, in some jurisdictions, if you disagree with or refuse to accept the EULA, you're entitled to return the product for a full refund. Whether the retailer will GIVE you a refund is a different story.
>>
>>386339137
Depending on what the EULA contains, it can get ripped up. In Sweden we have pretty strong consumer protections, meaning you can't sign away certain rights as a consumer. If any contract you sign tries to make you sign away shit that you should always have the right to according to law, the contract itself is completely null. I'm not entirely sure how the law sees digital stuff like games though.

Not really, we didn't choose this. The idiots who are led around by the nose by marketing propaganda were the ones that chose this. Gaming publishers have been slowly leading the industry in this direction for years now with the long term plan of making these practices the norm so that they can make more money. They have actual psychologists that they pay to design their marketing schemes over the decades, specifically knowing how far they need to push and in what areas to extend so as to edge the monetary exploitation JUST far enough to bother people but still be acceptable enough to the average consumer that they'll still pay.

It's called shaping the market using long term strategies.

Unfortunately you likely sign an agreement upon purchase/play that states you are not purchasing the game, but the right to play the game. There is also likely a clause that states you agree to give up your right to play that game if they deem it necessary (IE caught cheating or in the event servers are down for maintenance) all likely in some scrolling boilerplate

So this is the future of gaming, first they want you to pay up for a unfinished game.

Then they want you to pay for ingame items.

>>
>>386349340
If there was a cash shop where you can buy XP boosts by themselves, your fears would be a little less unfounded. XP boosts are random drops in these boxes. The boxes can be bought with the money you get from branding and killing orcs, the thing you do most often in the game.

It's not DLC though, it's worse. It's paying real money for a CHANCE to get better items/weapons/etc.

So you're saying the extremely boring orc grind has a random chance of being a smidgen less grindy and boring if your loot crate coughs up an ex boost. I'm so grateful now. Or the grind could just be a manageable amount that doesn't require me to pray or pay the RNG gods.

Right now, we know the game's easy as shit since we have experience with the first one. What sort of changes have they made to make a cash shop necessary for people who want shit quicker than the easy as fuck shit in the first? People have cause to worry. Have the devs changed the game up to make it tedious enough to push people towards the cash shop? What guarantees have the devs given that the 'normal gameplay' isn't tedious as fuck now to necessitate a cash shop? How many hours do I have to spend branding endless amounts of orcs in order to unlock shit? An hour? 2 hours? That's reasonable. 10 hours? 50 hours? 1,000 hours? That's not.

How grindy is the game that a cash shop needs to be implemented?

Show me the the different structure unlocks. You can't because you're making up stuff. If you buy a box with gold, you're getting items that you can get just by branding and killing orcs.

There's multiple gameplay videos out. Here's one that shows that fighting orc commanders is the same as the previous game.

Why did video games became mainstream... Fuck giant AAA games, honestly.

I'm not worried about the fights being difficult anon. I'm worried about getting gear that I want being tedious as fuck to necessitate a cash shop being implemented. I know how easy the fights are, I've been hyped as fuck for this game since it was announced. Already have my nemesis and follower ready for it.

That's pretty much what "loot crates" mean today, and what non-indoctrinated people are criticizing.

Same thing as "DLC" really meaning "cut-'n-restricted content" despite real expansions having existed before.

Especially not stopping piracy.

The point I'm making is that that the items you get from the box are the exact same items that you get from the orcs. To get gear in the game, you brand an orc and then destroy it to turn it into gear. If you want higher level gear, you do the same thing you did in Shadow of Mordor if you wanted high level runes. The difference is in this case, if you don't get the gear you want, you can turn it into currency to buy more gear.

But goy, you don't own your games, you just bought a license to play them!
>>
>>386371614
And the point I'm making is that I'm worried doing so is made more tedious than it needs to be to necessitate a cash shop. If a crate costs 200 or 600 Gold and I get 10 Gold per milestone (of which there are 50, for example) or community challenge (done once a month, for example) in the game, then it's gonna take me a long ass fucking time to get enough gold to purchase even a single crate, which may or may not even contain the items that I want since it's all RNG shit. And since gear can only be turned into Mirian and not Gold, purchasing a Gold or Mithril chest and selling the equipment can only ever net you a Silver chest in the end since that's the only one that can be bought with Mirian.

So, again, how tedious is it to get gear that I want? Will I need to sink in, say, 5 hours of killing orcs and dealing with RNG drops to get what I want? That's reasonable. Do I have to spend 50 hours doing the same to get what I want? Fuck that shit.

>keep away your bias against japan and weebs for a second.
Not him, but if anything you now just ousted yourself as another asshurt weeb.

Anyways, his point is that Japan isn't any less shameless, also having been making/cutting micro-content for DLC in their $60 games too (Amiibos and Sm4sh's DLC prices being notorious examples). It probably won't be long before they copy their mobileshit loot-crate gambling into said games.

Just because you right a clause in the fine print doesn't mean it holds up in court anon

In fact a big enough case could spark the courts to look at digital distribution as a bigger entity in general and what can and cannot be done with it
>>
>>386372283
The game is inherently based on RNG though. Even if there were no cash shop, you're at the mercy of the RNG god to make an orc that has abilities you want or an orc that drops gear that you want. The RNG is an improvement over the last game because failed drops actually contribute to something. In Mordor, shitty runes were worthless because mirian was worthless once you upgraded your character. The gameplay videos so far have shown that there's a large volume of orc captains available to turn into gear and mirian, so I'm not worried.

Way to kill all interest developer. The nemesis system was the only thing you had going for you, and you shat on it.
>>
>>386372712
While SoM had RNG, it can be influenced heavily by the player and you can get it to somewhat consistently drop runes that you want by understanding the system. In SoW, the devs may be incentivised to design the RNG to be less favorable towards the player since they can monetise my frustration via the cash shop and that's enough cause for me to worry. The rules of the system have already been elaborated while the rate you earn the currencies and gears involved have not been. Until the devs provide a more detailed explanation to put these worries to rest, they'll remain. I've run out of good faith to spare for this industry despite being hyped for the game. I guess we're just an impasse, anon.

Jesus christ the only reason why i said to keep away weebs from the argument is because it's always a way to derail the discussion ,not because i'm one, stop being so obsessed man, i'm not one, i know how people here think.

>>386331869
Can they ban you from this particular game??
If so, then damn. Can't even investigate if I got a free copy, that's way too sketchy to play
>>
>>386374653
Wasn't there a game that did this before? AC2 on PC? Or was it ME3? Some fucking game on PC had stupid as fuck online where some dude was banned from playing singleplayer.
>>
>>386331623
Why do people even get upset about this? I mean it's scummy but nothing new. You can buy shit like money and xp in single player games for a while now, just look at the later asscreed titles and deus ex for instance.

Most of the time you have to be braindead beyond belief for this to be even remotely worthwhile, so it is not even worth the time to get angry about this "dlc".

Alien Isolation and Bayonetta 2

>>386375067
Pretty sure it was a later title or right around the time ME3 came out. I can't remember the game either, but I remember the threads complaining about it.

Back in the day a simple cheat code would have sufficed. That's how shit things are nowadays anon.
>>
>>386331623
Its a rehash of the first game, is overpriced as fuck and has a cash shop?

Fuck off.
>>
>>386376557
Is it really overpriced in the west? The Gold editon is cheaper than most base game's prices where I live.

And now they confirm it requires an online connection and can't be played offline. What the fuck man? I went from hyped as fuck to cautious to absolutely fucking disgusted in the span of a single day.

>>386379672
yeah, I was going to buy this but now I'm not touching it. we'll see if adding the microtransactions was worth it for them after all the sales they'll lose from alienated customers

Are they trying to see how many scummy practices they can fit into a single game or something?
>>
>>386331623
Omg, this generation spend money to gain leverage in a single player game rather then using cheats

>>386331623
First game was shit so who cares.
