We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
I hope WB doesn't at the last minute add the microtransactions. That would suck for derek and NRS. :/
I'm not a fan of microtransactions but in this example of yours where exactly do you think Sweatpants Eddie got those $50 dollars from? He sweated his pants working to get the money (or his parents, but someone had to sweat those pants), which means he invested his lifetime on getting that content the same way you or I would spend that time grinding the game.
Except it doesn't devalue your experience at all. If you like to work for the gear, then you've still got the journey towards getting it. It should mean more to you because of the effort you put in. Whatever Sweatpants Eddie does with his money and time is irrelevant to what you do with yours. The work you did and the rewards remain unchanged. All that is different is your perception of its value. Nothing about it has changed just because someone else had the option to obtain the same outcome through different means.
He looks ok to me. I feel like people are expecting him to look like one of the numerous Supermans we've seen throughout the years, but he doesnt at all, and it throws them off.
Nobody actually cares what guys look like in fighting games. Heihachi showed up to the tournament in a fucking diaper once and nobody batted an eye lash but we can't get pissed off enough that Capcom reduced the Cammy-toe.
Except he never said there would be no micro transaction he is safe
I could understand if it were a cosmetic thing or like something like MKX with brutalities from the Krypt and fatalities but gear effects gameplay. You're right about people being too busy but it's not like just those guys will pay for stuff. A lot of the online gamers are young guys or kids. They also have no problem throwing money out there. At one point between work and school I literally didn't have time to play games except maybe 2hrs before I went to sleep and even then for someone like me. I personally, can't support micro transactions unless it's a free to play game. It's just not fair compared to the people who actually put in the work
How about we put this in different terms? Okay. So let's say, basketball. Let's say I love basketball right? I wanna beat my friends in basketball all the time. Hell. I wanna beat LeBron. Would you think it's fair that I say "well I spend my time doing this instead of basketball so it's only fair that I pay $100 to be able to dunk and have real life aimbot accuracy even though these guys put in more real hard work"
Way off. It does devalue what I've done. Did you play the beta? Dude if you play someone with way better shit than you, you're gonna get your shit pushed in. So I spent 2 weeks busting my ass for this gear. Sweatpants Eddie hops on and spends $50 and suddenly he's mopping my shit
In NRS speak, "a bunch of" could just mean "1 more than very few".
In some scenes, he looks suspiciously like Ed Boon
Not trolling, but I really didn't expect anyone on this site to actually have any intention of playing with gear enabled. Whether I was winning or losing in the BETA with gear on, there was nothing fun about it. Unbalanced gameplay is not really my thing.
I don't plan on playing with gear activated but you gotta realize that a LOT of people definitely will play with it on and this site represents a very small number of the actual player base
But a lot of the casual players might wanna play with stat boosts and extra abilities
In an optional mode where the goal seems to be about being as broken and unbalanced as possible? It's not pay to win in any mode that matters. It's pay to mess around with different stuff. As far as I'm aware, you don't even have to play with gear on to grind for it, so for many people, they will just be cosmetic items.
Yeah but what if the casual player wants to use his broken character that he worked for but someone pays to beat him lol. Like some casual players might not like playing the regular characters.
Only thing that was kinda lame to me is clearly Swamp Thing doesn't have an accessory or pet or something of that nature so his 5th slot is for his club lol. Hope he uses it in more than 1 string
Well, casuals getting rekt in fighting games is hardly new, though I think a lot of issues could be solved by matchmaking only putting you with people at a similar item level.
this makes zero sense. If you like doing it and have fun... isn't that the entire point of a game. How dose someone you do not know and have nothing to do with affect your enjoyment of a game?
Big club is cool with me. I wish we were shown at least one of his shaders tho.
