What about Forza 7? Forza 7 doesn't have micro transactions (yet) and while i don't like some of the loot boxy stuff they added its is in no way anything like this debacle. The worst thing that can be said about it is some of the cars can only be randomly got from loot boxes or when they appear in the time limited vendor. That said you can still buy them from the auction house or chuck your in game credits at loot boxes. its not like money is hard to come by in Forza and there is definatly no pay to win in there.

Thin end of the wedge maybe but as ive said in a few threads I had no issues with Forza 7 or Shadow of War, I could have lived without the orcs in boxes and would have preferred it but it didnt ruin the game.

This model does ruin the game and its a shame cause its not a bad game, Battlefield 1 had a way to shallow progression system battlefront 1 had total rubbish like the Diorama thing and a few heads. Its like DICE have forgotten how to do it.

HOWEVER with regard to how long weapon/hero unlocks take, anyone remember Battlefield 2? that took some SERIOUS time to unlock all the weapons, people do just want everything right away now. people complained that battlefield 1 only took a week to unlock everything. I dont think the complaints would be so high if you couldnt pay to skip the grind.
 
You get credits for completing the campaign. It was 20k but they knocked it back when they changed the quants needed to unlock Vader/Luke to a 5k completion reward.
 
The credits for the campaign were 20k which is what was required to unlock the character from the campaign. its now 5k and that chr is now 5k.
They should have just made that Chr tied to completion of the main campaign and avoided this easily.
 
My biggest issue with the game is people don't PTFO. Considering how they balanced score on Battlefield 1 they have completely 180'd here and the best way to get huge points in stay away form the objective and camp spawns.
DICE are a dev with a serious split personality.
 
The sense of 'why am I the only one capping' has been around for a long time, especially on consoles. BF1 was better because of the way it scored you but even then people wouldn't bother going for the objectives. Sounds like this is even worse.

What about Forza 7?... Did you miss the VIP episode?
 
Never seen a backlash like this, thank god, looks to have been as much a train wreck as the first one.
Apparently they have removed the refund button from there page, lol, you have to call them up to get a refund.

I've seen other games with same setup but they are only pve only, interesting to watch unfold.

Not seen you online for ages, Titanfall just not the same without you, but it does look great on X.

Always busy this time of year, plus I obviously need a decent router to save me from those crazy ping spikes!
 
ok so you get 1000 credits for logging in daily and 500 credits max for bot arcade mode, so you do that for 7 days that is 10500 credits, do that for a 4 weeks = 42000 credits for not even touching online, and buying nothing... have i got this wrong? finish the campaign as well, + 5K credits so 47K credits, play a few online games daily - the credits will soon rack up?
 
Cancelled my preorder today after it all kicked off. Why can't games just come out and have a level playing field? I can't be chewed with all bonus preorder packs and star cards giving you 40% more health and faster firing rates. I just want to jump in the game, equip a gun and start shooting. Really not a fan of being able to spend £100 on a bunch of loot crates and having a massive advantage over someone who doesn't want to spend anymore money than they have to.

I was looking forward to this one as well :(
 
Also cancelled my pre order, painful one as I really enjoyed the first one despite the shortcomings. Enjoyed the open beta as well. I'm holding out for all this loot crate and credit nonsense to be sorted out at some point.
