shadow of mordor was an alight first try of a game (lore rape aside). they should have expanded the namesis system a bit more but now they making the entire core of the game into PTW. fuck having to explore and learn to play the game to gain better gear and exp, just buy it for real money instead.

>Shadow of War requires an Internet connection for the time being, which is probably not going to sit well with some fans.
>probably not going to sit well with some fans
>probably
>some fans

Yeah its probably not going to sit well with the fans who are stupid enough to buy the game in light of this news. I've seriously never seen any article try so hard to deliver bad news without trashing someone for making an unarguably shitty decision.

>the point of the Market system is to provide a faster alternative in building Talion’s army for those who don’t want to spend a lot of time in the game doing that activity.
>don't want to spend a lot of time
>playing the game

Well then what the fuck is the point of getting the game in the first place?

>The game is balanced so you can play the game without using the Market.
>The drop rate of common/epic/legendary orcs has nothing to do with the market. We balanced SoW first, so the drop rates there is set for what our designers and research has shown to be the most interesting.
So I'm supposed to expect a Jew dev who pulled a fucking jew move not to do something totally fucking Jewish? Kiss my dick.

>Shadow of War requires an Internet connection for the time being, which is probably not going to sit well with some fans. Considering that the game doesn’t feature any true multiplayer features per se, this was likely done to prevent hackers from boosting their own premium currency in the game without actually paying anything.
And there it is. Supposedly the game is balanced without the market. Meaning you don't need the microtransactions at all to progress. But you need to have an internet connection. So that you can't boost the currency that you supposedly don't need.

Holy shit there are no words to express my REEEEEEEEEE over this. I was really really looking forward to this game. I almost never get emotional over shitty dev decisions but this. THIS. This is awful.

Into the fucking trash it goes. What a waste.

Will be pirating.
Won't even play it, probably.
Will be pirating out of spite. Might even mail them a screenshot of my torrent.

Rub their shit in their own noses until it stops.

>>386378618
I don't think I would ever replay it. So many games come out, I don't even have time to finish all of them.

my god what's happening with this game

>Gold exists for users who want to speed up their army building process. There are people who appreciate having the option. We don’t want to restrict any players from playing our game. So we have the option for those that want a speedy option, and for those that choose to avoid it can do so without any negative impact on their game.

>The game is balanced so you can play the game without using the Market.
As you play the game you’ll have excess Mirian, this gives you an option to use that excess Mirian if you like. Or you can let that Mirian build up as high as you want.

>Getting and Orc from a warchest is the same as dominating one in the game. So if you want a legendary orc in the game, you can go find one or you can go through the market. It’s there as an option for players. Feel free to play as you decide!

>Epic and Rare weapons drop with relative frequency, and DON’T need an epic orc to drop. Though as you level up, your common weapons will become more powerful and you’ll switch to your higher level commons.

>Legendary ORCS are more rare. However, the number of legendary orcs you meet increases as you play through the game.

>The drop rate of common/epic/legendary orcs has nothing to do with the market. We balanced SoW first, so the drop rates there is set for what our designers and research has shown to be the most interesting.

The only reason the first game was even successful was because it dropped to $15 a week after it came out

If they kept it at $40 it would have been a massive failure

>Can't say I'm surprised. the micro transaction shit has proven to work in so many other games, of course the greedy Jews would jump at the chance to work it into a single player game.
Single player microtransactions, often with always online, is the rule in mobege shit, particularly anything involving gacha. It's fucking horrible but apparently profitable too. They're trying to bring it to the PC yet again is all.

The fundamental problem (and HOPE) though for those greedy shits is that unlike mobile the PC is a pretty open platform, so it's massively harder to actually make this work. They can try various tricks, but at the end of the day all the keys and shit are all there in memory and available to be modified. It can be run in a VM, it can be decompiled. They can only delay things. And
>"delay things"
even can make some sense when it's purely about piracy. A lot of these games have very frontloaded sales, just like big movies, so if they launch with some DRM that gets cracked in 4 weeks that actually might still be worth it because the kind of normies who rush to play will not wait but just plonk down. They'll take it if it's free and convenient but they're too lazy and impatient if it ISN'T convenient.

But I don't think this single player DRM will work so well on the PC, because unlike box sales it's directly about the long term. So just making the DRM last a few weeks or months isn't good enough, but that's about all the PC can do.

The nemesis system really did have promise. I mean, sure it sucks a little if you were a fan. But you gotta admit, the corporate fuckery is hilarious, and the dev team. (This is the best part) signed with such a shit publisher and probably knew this would occur. Just shows you what tier they are in the industry, Low rung as fuck.

I actually read what the devs said instead of throwing a fit on /v/. Online only is the only issue. The microtransactions seem pretty fucking worthless and you'd have to be an idiot to drop money on them instead of playing the game

>>386380253
Consoles still get the microshit fag and to buy that microshit you have to give them your info too, but you also imply i have my real anything on steam.

I think it's pretty obvious that the standard $60 is not enough anymore and hasn't been for a long time now. But is it just pure greed or is it necessary to keep the publisher and developer afloat? Is it either this or raising the price for the base game?
Is the publisher greedy or are gamers cheap?
Let's just make some rough calculation. Let's take Battlefield 1 for instance.
DICE is located in Stockholm Sweden. As of 2016 they had 640 employees. (http://www.allabolag.se/5567106520/ea-digital-illusions-ce-ab). Now of course not everybody worked on b1, also a lot of people comes and goes to, so let's say half of them did, so 320 people. (probably more towards the end of the development and probably less in the beginning)
The average salary in Stockholm Sweden is 24 600SEK.That's around $3000 plus employee fees and taxes that's around 33 100SEK ($4000)
Total cost for one staff member in a year is $48,000. Multiplied by 320 is $15 million dollars in a year.
For 4 years that's $60 million dollars.
No if we add marketing cost, location cost, software, equipment etc i don't think that $100 million dollars is that far by 100 Million
...that's an absurd amount of money.
So how many copies do they need to sell to break even?
well they don't get $60 even if the customer pays $60, distribution cost and taxes they will probably not get more than $40 per sold copy, tops (we ignore sales for now)
So that means $100 million/$40 = 2,500,000 copies just to break even. If they want to sell enough to fund the next game with the same budget, they need to sell double so 5 million copies. If they want to make a profit even more.
As of now, Battlefield 1 has sold around 4 million copies.
If you consider the fact that not all of the sales above were purchased for the full price. That means they broke even but barley funded the next one. And they certainly didn't make a huge profit. The only way for them to turn a profit would be with dlc and season pass.

Benefit of the doubt, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I'm against the addition of microtransactions in any way but I would, maybe, bear with it being present if the game really is truly balanced so your frustrations aren't monetised via the cash shop and that's a big fucking maybe. But it's all moot now, always-online DRM is fucking trash and there's absolutely no way for it to be made fair for the player.

But it isn't. In gatcha games, spending currency to roll for characters/ items is the only way to get them. The items in the chest are the same ones that orcs drop on kills and the orcs in the chests are the same ones you can fight and brand on the field. Nothing is locked behind chests

I don't though. I avoid games with microtransactions and bad DLC like the plague. The last time I bought a game that had microtransactions I genuinely didn't know because they were so poorly tacked on most people weren't even aware of them.

That's exactly how gatcha works though, they bait you in with free rolls then once you run out of in-game currency without getting what you want, you start paying to roll even more

This. They're the reason FEAR 3 was such a piece of shit.

>no one gives a shit anymore and pirates* it

shit, they may not even care enough to do that.

>>386380915
Speaking as someone who plays a lot of gatcha games, it isn't.

In Monster Super League for example, all characters are earned through eggs you can find. You can probably find like 2 a day if you're lucky. Even the rarest units in the game can come from these eggs. However the odds of getting these units from eggs you don't buy from the store are a bit lower, and it takes a lot of grinding to get the eggs.

Basically every gatcha game that does well lets players earn premium currency or rare units just by playing the game.

The thing about modern DLC is that there is a tasteful and tactful way to market it so you don't treat your customers like brainless morons who'll gobble up any shit you put in front of them. Offer something the customer would love to pay for and you'll have no problem getting their money. Monolith seems to just say "nah fuck that shit bruh pay us real monies for fucking upgrades and other shit because we a Skinner Box mobile game now lol".

Are you illiterate? You do not need to roll chests to get any of the items or characters in the game. They are all on the field. You can get them all without ever opening a chest. There is no timer or cap to them. When you kill an orc, another takes his place. That's how the nemesis system works.
>>386381236
Your example is the complete opposite of this game though. They throw hundreds of orcs at you to kill or capture. It's an unlimited amount of randomly generated orcs and loot. There's nothing that halts or slows your progression because the basis of the nemesis system

Why do people do this? Why play a game if you don't have time to play it?
You can spend way less money on games you could enjoy in LESS time.
I can bet you will get advertisements to use that cash store at least once in the game, to let you know you could get sick orcs and weapons to "enhance your gaming experience" or "to strengthen your army for the game to come"
This is freemium WITHOUT THE NEED to be freemim.
Are they really that desperate to make the game accessable by letting people skip gameplay?

>>386381815
So give or take two weeks i guess.

>>386381690
The thing is they have far more motivation to fuck up that system in order to force you to buy their lootcrates than they do for keeping it good. The instant any game adds in something like this, you need to start assuming that they've sabotaged the game to try manipulating you into paying them.

Also GTFO WB shill. I cannot believe there would actually be someone retarded enough to defend introducing a literal gatcha into a full priced game.

Games don't need budgets of $100m+ to be good. When Western AAA devs took over in the 7th gen it was a race towards the bottom to reach the highest graphical fidelity possible to reach the lowest common denominator of casuals and normies. This fucking shot game budgets through the roof, and now we're at this point.

Think of it like this: With these astronomical budgets leading towards higher graphics, are we even getting better games compared to previous generations? That's a hard fucking no in my book. Most Battlefield fans would say Bad Company 2 is a significantly better game than BF4 or any other modern Battlefield. Guess which one didn't cost $100m+ to make and have 4+ years of development time? Another example: compare the PS2's output to the PS4 (pic related), it's not even fucking close.

This race towards the bottom has resulted in less games getting made because of prolonged development cycles, absolutely fucking killed AA/middileware games, and popularized so many Jewish and cancerous practices such as DLC, Microtransactions, lootboxes, service games, etc.

>>386381939
They've already stated that the game was balanced without the cash shop in mind, You can be a pessimist and believe that they're lying but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The gameplay itself prevents them from incentivizing the cash shop anyways. If all the strong orcs are locked in the lootboxes, that means you only fight weak orcs and there's no reason to buy a box. If all the orcs are extremely strong, there's no reason to try and get gear from the lootbox because you can just brand orcs. I don't see a way for them to ruin the game to favor cash shops, the nemesis system stops it.

Nobody is dumb enough to trust them.

The article is BS.

Read the linked forum thread, the actual question the community manager answers was "Is the whole market only available with internet or can a part be accessed offline" - i.e. the microtransaction part is always online (which is obvious, how else would they process CC info). This says nothing about DRM.

>>386382731
It's because you're cash register keyboardist.

>>386378682
>>386378621
So they just need to announce the launch is actually Early Access and we've hit peak scumminess?

>>386382620
If they balanced the game there is no reason to ever buy anything hence eliminating the need for a fucking shop altogether

By making Legendary drops have a .00000001% drop rate of course. And since Mirian can only be used to purchase Silver chests that can only have items up to Epic rarity, be prepared to spend the rest of your life grinding for Legendary drops. Or use the cash shop.

Until they decide and elaborate on how much Gold we can earn through 'normal gameplay' as well as how often the drop rates are, there's reason to be pessimistic and worried.

>>386382795
You can say that all day long, but neither you nor anyone else in the thread has given an example of how the devs would make the game worse to incentivize the purchase of a lootbox.

>>386382803
The basis of the nemesis system which they advertise heavily is that there is an endless amount of orcs. An endless amount of orcs to kill and brand. Give me a plausible example of how you can force people to buy lootcrates with this system in place.

>>386383209
First, they've already confirmed that Silver Chests contain every orc and item that gold chest do. Second, why do you need a legendary anything? You get a legendary item at level 5 and it's outclassed by a normal item at level 10. If I can complete the game and have fun without a legendary item, why do I care about the drop rate?

Simple. Make it take 20 hours to actually find a good orc to conquer.

Introduce DLC that requires a shitload of orcs at a higher level than you can find in the wild.

Orcs from the shop have a much higher chance of getting some special ability that is basically necessary than orcs in the wild.

Orcs from the shop are just flat out better than orcs in the wild.

Orcs from the wild now have a chance to die permanently.

I could literally think up ways to abuse the system to force people to monetize for hours, and I GUARANTEE you WB hired someone to do exactly that.

>>386383721
If you want a legendary item, you grind for it just like any RPG without a cash shop. Low drop rates aren't something that came about because of DLC

>>386383838
Once again, if the orcs in the wild are weak, why do you need strong orcs? You can just kill them by yourself. Orcs had permadeath in the first game to, but the nemesis system replaces them with another orc. Locking away strong orcs makes the game easy and makes the player less likely to buy a lootbox. Having orcs be both ally and enemy stops the gating of high level orcs

>>386383849
This, just pretend like the game doesn't exist till you see a group release. If you aren't a faggot (pre-order/first quarter buyer) You won't even notice the DRM, Cash shops. You've essentially cut out the fat.

>>386383839
But they lower the drop rates to increase cash. Look at Destiny and it's Eververse boxes, the old one from TTK had decent chances of getting Taken armor but the newest one for Age of Triumph has such a low chance of getting the Triumph armor that it is necessary to buy to get the full set by D2 release. They decreased the drop rate because they figured out it made money and once people had the full taken set they stopped buying.

>>386384213
How fucking dense are you?

If you didn't need good orcs they wouldn't have bothered with their lie that this was for people who wanted to progress through the game faster because you wouldn't need good orcs to progress.

Also there's obviously gonna be some enemy type that you can't recruit.

>>386384213
So, we need to ignore highest tier gear and also strong orc followers now? Jesus Christ, I'll just go ahead and ignore the whole game.

It will sell enough to show devs this is acceptable behaviour because so few "gamers" have any self-control or principles, they just see a new AAA game and have to buy it no matter what.

people crucify trailers for being exactly that. trailers specifically are why destiny bombed so hard. activision released a shitty generic AAA trailer for it, customers got mad, bungie got mad and said it didn't represent the game, activision got mad and started firing a shitload of people which forced whoever was left to drastically cut down the game and rewrite almost all of it.

Unfortunately Destiny is one of the most successful games this generation. It's babies first MMO and has ushered in a era of jewish, Always-Online Service games. And the real reason it's popular is because kiddies need an excuse to hang out with their friends. It's the same reason shitheaps like The Division and Wildlands sell gangbusters too.

>>386385197
And what if I want it? Because similarly, it can be argued that the game doesn't need a cash shop if everything can be earned through normal gameplay. Since nothing requires it, why is it there? Because some players want it. And when I buy a game, I don't just play it to get to the end. I want to experience everything I can out of it and that includes getting the highest tier gear and followers. Now, explain to me, why do I have to ignore these desires in a game I've already paid full price for?

And you can confirm that the drop rates for these Legendary items and orcs are not made absurdly low to a point of frustrating the players enough to force them to go through the cash shop? All I'm hearing from the devs are vague "We've balanced it well, you can trust us!" without any proper statistics. Having no reason to use a Legendary doesn't mean all players are going to ignore it. Some people, like myself, would want to max out their character with the best shit. At the same time, I don't want to have to spend an eternity grinding to do so where the only alternative is paying real money to circumvent that shit. That's ridiculous.

Also, always-online is debunked: http://steamcommunity.com/app/356190/discussions/0/1471967615853490645/?ctp=2

it isn't. Your discs are worthless. You can't play the game without internet for ANY game now, becuase your system has to update.

>>386386517
If I turn off my internet right now every disc will play. Even if 2018~2019 games require system update I can download and put the file on a USB drive and install without using my PS4 internet :)

Gaben said in a interview this February that it's only a matter of timing before he introduces paid mods. he believes everyone right now is angry but eventually they will accept the idea.

So let me get this straight, you idiots were perfectly fine paying for a blacked LOTR game, but always online is where you draw the line? Now you are going to call them Jews? You deserve everything that's wrong with this industry.

>>386387031
I would say a majority of gamers don't have any self-control or respect. Enthusiasts fight back against bad business practices, but they can't stop the flood of "idiots" that will buy anything put on the market.

it doesn't matter how many times you repeat the same thing, you still haven't explained how a minority (pc gamers) and a minority of a minority (pc gamers who are also ironic weebs) managed to kill an industry that sells millions more on consoles.

that's easy
Millions of users watch youtube and spread the garbage
Where do they spread the garbage? steam.
Most steam people don't even play games, as you can see 99% of their games are CS:GO and Ubisoft online garbage
Companies need to market.. for instance Nier is 100% directed at youtuber/reddit ironic weeb garbage and they gather on steam.
Now that Nier sold a lot they will continue to make ironic weeb garbage and waifu pandering ass to those low lives.
