| KiigelHeart said: Except it isn't as simple as that. When the whole progression system, cosmetic & character unlocks are built around time-limited grind or pay system. I already explained this and why it hurts the gaming experience. Nevermind the lack of customisation items (no, emotes bloodsprays or banners don't count) and insane store prices. Make a good product with reasonable amount of content and rewarding progress & unlock system, then put up a store front that offers something extra. No problem with this. But this shit is predatory. Kids play these games. You know it, I know it and they know it. And it's not even the point, it's predatory whether they target 15, 18 or 30 year-olds. And this time-limited grind is especially hurting those with limited time to play. Bottom line is, it's sucks the fun out of playing. I'm a fan of Xbox and I huge fan of Gears. But still, this is the first time I really hope an exclusive game to crash and burn. För the sake of future Xbox games like Halo. I don't want them to hurt those games with these practises. FH4 and SoT got the GaaS system right. |
The MP grind feels the exact same as the other Gears games to me, I honestly don't see the difference than again I play Gears for the SP mode which they did probably the best job out of the entire series here.
I much rather Gears 5 be super successful which it seems to be because I want Gears 6 to offer another amazing campaign mode.
I disagree with your predatory statement. Kids play Gears, that's not TC fault that's a parenting issue hence the rating system. I will heavily agree with you on games like NBA2k that are aged for 3+ year olds who can buy unlimited amount of Store items and having casino games shoved in there face. Gears 5 is just like every other basic store front. Again I feel the grind is the same as other Gears games and they have all offered heavy grinds to complete. But again I don't take the MP serious as you might.
I am a huge fan of Smash Brothers and they charged me $20 a character for the bonus ones.. and Ultimate asks for a Season Pass. Its all the same shit, it just doesn't affect me as I choose to spend the money when I want to rather than I have to.
