And it is indeed a grind that forces you to play modes you don't want (or use money to cycle challenges) to eventually unlock something. Not to mention how laughable their "content" of emblems & bloodsprays are. "Most content any Gears game ever had" they said..while technically true, it's mostly those bloodsprays 'n stuff. Geez.. I don't think all mtx is bad. I recently spend 20€ on Sea of Thieves because they added tons of free content for a year and a half before even offering mtx. But TC delivered a broken game and have the nerve to offer these predatory microtransactions. 10€ for a character? What, 30€ for a full weapon skin se? gtfo.. |
Damn you are really over-exaggerating here.
Laughable content? Sure, than don't buy them. Its a choice not a forced action.
You spend money on SoTs because they add free content? Sure it does, and what's to say Gears 5 isn't offering free content? The game has only been out for a month plus the entire game is free on GamePass, isn't that a good incentive?
TC released a broken game? How so? Also do you know what predatory MTs are? Lets not compare Gear's MTs to actual predatory strategies. Gears 5 is a MA15+ game not a G for everyone type of game to begin with. Also there are no gambling mechanics like slot machines or casino games being rubbed into kids faces here. That's predatory.
Offering a store with MTs is normal today especially for free games so sure Gears 5 would be better without them however the store does not affect you in anyway aside from the fact some rich kid can invest into it.
Honestly the complaints about games having MTs is petty especially with these cases where the games are aimed for older gamers. Pay-to-Win, Lootboxes and Casino games aimed towards younger gamers is wrong and I heavily agree with that. Store fronts to me don't bother me one bit. I just simply ignore it or check it out once in awhile because sometimes they do offer cool things.
