Except people are ripping into this game any chance they get. In essentially every single thread since 2015. Instead of highfiving comments that add nothing to the discussion and throwing shade at others, you could make a more constructive argument. And since you started one with me (the "essential" comment was clearly aimed at me), you have the opportunity.
? And I wonder what's more effective at putting people off from posting? And refrain from doing that, either of you. If you want to call someone out for something, either tag/quote them and/or do it in a constructive manner. Trying to rile people up with generalizations and miss-characterizations in drive-by posts is not ok. |
I have thought it through, you simply don't like my opinion and won't stop asking for more justification, despite the fact I have justified my stance just fine. MTX that affects gameplay (e.g. summon materia) is a slippery slope. It allows the developer to adjust difficulty settings (either directly or with optional bosses) that will encourage having to pay to win. I find that offensive as a gamer and especially as a parent. I don't need my kids requesting candy bars so they can take down an optional boss. A game should be balanced from day 1 after dropping $60. Encouraging the purchase of MTX to alter gameplay is a giant no.
And since we are discussing "constructive" posts, do you really think telling people (as a mod no less) that their posts are not well thought out is constructive? Fact is you have done nothing but dismiss the opinions of others, based on nothing more than not aligning with your feelings.
Zelda and Souls are my two favorite franchises. All I know is if Nintendo starting selling heart containers separately or From starting selling summons separately, I would be pissed. I wouldn't defend the practice.
Edit
And yes I would pay more than $60 for a top notch game. In fact I did so all the time back on the SNES days with IV, VI, Mana, Evermore and Trigger. Same with N64 titles. MTX can go die, same with most DLC. Just sell me a final product that is balanced at an appropriate price.
