Double Dipping - Paid games with Microtransactions

Team Fortress 2 if you bought it before it went Free to Player. Basically Valve's original sin.

Overwatch and it's loot crates
does Diablo 3 have microtransactions?
I know they originally intended to have a custom map store in Starcraft 2, the prime reason that game's custom map scene was so fucking broken for years

every sport game by EA

I heard destiny 2 has done it, which to me is completely inexcusable.

>>389739580
And instead of getting an armor shader for the full set of armor you have like in Destiny 1, now one loot box will get you a shader for one piece of the armor.

battlegrounds has microtransactions? I don't remember seeing them.

upcoming shadow of war.

>>389740089
you buy crates with in game points and then unlock them with keys from the steam store

>>389739952
The boxes give 3-5 shaders per, and you can also get them from all engrams. Try harder next time.

>>389740308
they purposefully made the shaders consumable so they could microtransaction them

Pic related for me.
The MP was just so good (better that the SP mode) it was the closest to a squad based shooter that we hasn't had for a while and I played it every single day, that's until Naughty Dog went full Jew and started the practice of microtransactions and it became a casual and unbalanced fuck fest, fuck them.

>>389740552
Same with uncharted 4 mp. The challenges reward pretty nice, so it isn't too much of a problem to me.

The paid crates on PUBG have been a limited time type of deal so far...
At least you can sell said boxes on 3rd party sites and get your money back.

>>389740230

It was a limited run. The crates that require keys are no longer available.

Yeah, console gaming is so much cheaper.

>>389741895
who the fuck are you talking to

>>389741943
You, apparently, since you replied.

Does PUBG count? You aren't really forced to pay for anything.

>>389738512
Elite dangerous. Zero customization of your character or ship without paying more money on top of an "expansion".

>>389742069
Yes

This thread is for any game with microtransactions that occur after paying for the full game

>>389741983
but all these games are on console too

>>389742176
So you just want a list of pretty much every game that has came out in the last 5 years? That is kinda stupid. There is a difference between paying for unneeded thing and being forced to pay for something to continue playing a game.

>>389741895
You can literally say the same thing about PC.

this isn't some console wars bullshit, all these fuck ass companies do it

I just dont get why kids/etc waste so much money on the loot boxes. I actually enjoy loot boxes, when theyre free. Getting a lootbox here or there is fun. You open it for some free gear and whoa cool you got a neat looking skin.

But who cares THAT much for skins/etc? Enough to spend 10, 20, 100+ bucks on it? Ill admit in the past Ive bought lootboxes, but it was only when I had some serious extra money (and once when I found some lost money on the ground). Its just nuts to me how much money they make on these things. Who is buying them in such large quantites?

I also hate the price points. Its usually 2.49 for a key. Why not only 1 dollar? Then youd have even more people doing it. Why get 50,000 idiots to spend 2.49 when you could probably get 200,000+ idiots to spend 1?

>single player game allows you buy level ups
>so egregious was this practice it caused a load of people to shit on, the sales to bomb and the publisher to cancel the series outright
>tfw the game is actually good and balanced without microtransactions but the publisher just couldn't help themselves
what a shame

>>389742574
square really is one of the biggest shit heap companies that has no idea how to manage non chink franchises

>>389742515
That's literally what those two anons just said.

>>389742290
You pay for psn on PC? You're not very bright are you?

God fucking damn this. Why the fuck they do it? Surely no one actually bought any of that shit right? There was absolutely no reason to.

let's not get ahead of ourselves here

>>389742747
its clear they're getting buthurt over their respective platform though

>>389742176

The difference between pubg and, let's say, destiny 2, is pubg microtransactions are purely cosmetic while destiny 2 microtransactions are pay-to-win.

>>389742829
Oh so you get internet access for free on pc?

>>389742994
do you get if for free with psn?

>>389738512
>cosmetics

Why do you young niggers care so much about this? Is it really that important to you to look as "cool" as everyone else in a multiplayer shooter?

Sad! Consider offing self!

>>389742829
I'm sure all those components and accessories just appear on/inside your pc right?

>>389742978
list examples

>>389742884
it is cut in half to make sequels but it's still a very solid game, on a second playthrough and finding all kinds of cool shit

>>389742884
OK if anything the game is a little too easy, still good though - better than the last one aside from plot.

>Anon states paying for psn in his post
>Anon replies you literally (pay for psn) do the same on PC
Are you fags literally retarded?

>>389738512
If you're mentioning MMOs, basically all of them have a cash shop for cosmetics at least.

FF14's story skip potions and level jump potions are pretty controversial at the moment, but at least shitters who have recently used the potions to get their 60 are pretty obvious (and aren't at max level yet either)

I still can't help myself when it comes to cosmetics. At least I've never bought dyes.

>>389743163
>Getting hung up on having to pay 6.99 for PSN

Anon, its literally cheaper then Spotify. Why are you so butthurt about psn?

>>389743236
>Butthurt
You projecting or something now boy? You are slow on the uptake.

>>389743073
b-b-but toby made fun of me at school and called me poor because his mom bought him a anime skin ;-;

>>389743315
Well its obvious you don't have a coherent argument, I'm done with you.

>>389743236
>its

go back to school dude

>>389742994

>pay for internet access through ISP
>pay for the privilege of using internet you already pay for

Consoles were a mistake

>>389738512
it's cosmetics, son. what many of you children don't realize is that game devs don't owe you this shit. after you bought the game, that's it; you have paid your $59.99 and have access to everything you paid for. if you expect free updates every month or so, you should be fine with a cosmetic shop.

no that's just capitalism taking advantage of the stupid same way people feel the need to pay real money for cosmetics like anyone else cares what the fuck they look like
stupid people are the real mistake

>>389743104

of what? nothing you buy in pubg affects gameplay. in destiny, you can buy weapon attachments.

>>389738512

Fortnite

>>389743635
Was that so hard? You just listed examples
I wasn't accusing you, I wanted to know examples, specifically of destiny P2W

>>389743696
>spoonfeed me because im too lazy to look up what destiny 2 items you can buy that affect gameplay
>was that too hard
the irony.

>>389742548
Because Steam Wallet usually. If you charge just 1$ there is no excess money left over in steam wallet. If people see money left in there steam wallet, most are compelled to spend more money to get rid of it. The cycle continues.

You are literally retarded, kid. And upset that I called out your bullshit, clearly.

>Not understanding the use of evidence in backing up your points.

>>389742574
Didn't they also have some retarded stretch goals pre release marketing campaign?

>>389744581
Yes. If the game had x amount of pre-orders some sort of DLC you could buy would unlock, if I recall correctly.
