I was pumped for this game, but like every other AAA WB published developer, they had to appease their publisher and add a bunch of mobile game crap on top of a 60 price tag. Nothing in the Krypt should be random; that is the definition of a lootbox.
Day 1 paywall characters ON DISK? That's not cool.
And let's not forget the No Kustom Variations at Tournament thing because, like I2, they didn't want people playing more than one kustom character at a time offline. They didn't code in that part, it's not a UI problem.
Shadow of War is a great fun game, but I had to wait almost a year to play it. Once they patched out the loot box mechanic and end game grind, it became what it was supposed to be from the beginning.
But the developers acting dumb and talking about things at the last minute needs to end.
We need to continue complaining. Unlocking everything in the Krypt after years of grinding will not give me a sense of "pride and accomplishment."
