Hi there reddit. How are you guys actually surprised at any of this shit? How do you guys keep buying it again? Move on to other studios. The last time I bought anything from a AAA dev was Assassin's Creed 1.

The Reddit out cry made it so all the in game purchases of named characters IE Luke and Vader are down to up to 75%
where as before you needed to grind out 40 hours of gameplay for one of the characters or microtransaction your way through

Reddit did a good job in making it so we dont have to buy the fucking characters
>>
Why the fuck do we let EA get away with this bullshit?

We need to keep hammering away at them. They ruin one franchise after another, and any company they acquire.

Thanks to them, SimCity is a joke that got wiped out by a newcomer. They ruined "Mass Effect", ruined "Dead Space".

Basically. If i ever start a company, I will never ever go public with it. Being driven by shareholders is just turns things to shit.

"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.
We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.
Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can."

This. Shareholders have too much power of decision, too much agency in cultural production. They don't care about what the company they have shares in does, so long as more money more money more money. Fuck that. I'd rather have smaller games that aren't buttfucked by shareholders, The Witcher 3 and Hellblade prove that it's perfectly possible to make *phenomenal* games without those parasites.

I'll never understand people that lick the boots of entities that couldn't give a flying fuck about them. You can keep licking until your tongue's raw, they'll still try to wrench more money out of you because that's all they care about, not you nor your opinions. You're equally impacted by this, objectively, so what's the point? Why the loyalty, the forced false equivalence, the insistence on denying the root of the problems?

I side woth ea y'all are lazy fucks who want everything handed to you. God I remember when it was rewarding to grind unlocks and prove your worth in the game.
>>
>>750981336

Don't get me wrong. It's fucking oetetic justice "Cities: Skylines" smashed EA on this like Hulk vs Loki.

I just regret the passing of a good franchise (SimCity). It's your fault EA.
>>
>>750981366
not boot licking - I just think that big acheivements in games should be just that - actual acheivements that require considerable amount of time and effort to achieve.

whats the fun if you have accesss to all game content from the get-go?

EA; the destroyer of "Star Wars", "Dead Space", "Sim City", "Battlefield", and "Mass Effect"?

That company can go to hell.
>>
>>750981466
EA has been the downfall of COUNTLESS good franchises and game devs
>>
>>750981473
We both agree on that, but it's fact that the game's design is not about achievement but about psychological warfare to fuck your wallet - consciously designed that way. If you want achievement, 5-10 hours is more than enough. 40 hours is excessive, and this is combined with clear power advantages for dishing out dough, making playing the game asymetrical if you have people paying for their power anyway. There's literally zero arguments to field for your standpoints that aren't flawed and deeply subjective at best.
>>
>>750981473
no one is complaining about having to unlock content, they are complaining that someone can pay money to unlock it before they do.

Yeah, that's the issue. Those 40 hours isn't going to be an exciting journey and isn't going to be filled with rewards for your hard work and time, it's just going to be 40 hours of repetitive busywork so they hope you cave after a few and pay up some more.

Making over $50 an hour will do that to someone. Must suck having to grind at work for a week to afford a game.

Pretty much. Instant gratification in games is cancer. If I don't wanna play the game for 40 hours to unlock my favorite character, I should not be playing it at all, because its probably trash.

That being said, allowing you to get the characters for 200$+ is fucking bullshit as well. Pay to win trash.

I understand the argument that many people are pussies and need to actually just play the game instead of paying to beat it, but this was designed to give you almost no choice if you don't want to be at a huge disadvantage. Somebody proved that this straight 40 hours of grinding implies that you don't spend a single bit of in game currency on anything else, denying yourself access to any other upgrades unless you want to grind another dozen hours. It's like this for many other aspects of the game as well. Is this shit really worth not having a season pass?

1. Testing is an involved process, so if you're away from your screen, you're not testing.

2. If compilation takes more than at most a minute, your code is fucked has is full of fucked up loops that show you have no clue how to optimize.

And that should be perfectly possible, for reasonable prices, while it's also perfectly possible (and enjoyable) put in reasonable effort to unlock it naturally. I really don't get why people don't understand this, microtransactions aren't inherently bad so long as they're not predatory and forced. I have a kid on the way, I'm not a teenager anymore so I just don't have those oceans of time anymore, I understand wanting the shortcut.
>>
Anyone with half a brain saw this coming from a mile away the moment they announced no season pass for this game.

People went crazy and got excited, while the small percentage of us tried to explain that's not going to be a good thing.

That being said, some of you are acting like EA is crying over any of this, or as if Reddit actually affected share price. Sorry to break it to you, but Q3 earnings are going to continue impressing shareholders. EA makes millions on their copy/paste sports games and always will.

Vader, Luke, main characters accessible off the bat in the first game locked behind a 40 hour game-time played paywall? I could literally afk matches for 40 hours to play intensely that whole time, same difference.

40 HOURS EACH? Don't get me started on Obi-wan and the other 100k credit heroes.

And GoG, a subsidy of CD Projekt Red rebooted the servers for the original Battlefront II. Not only that, but CD Projekt Red were very on the fence about charging people for their DLC for Witcher III, DLC which is more like expansion packs, whole games themselves. I don't mind paying for that as it is a shitload of content I enjoyed and felt the developers deserve compensation for their time and resources, not so big a feeling paying $10 for some skins.

CD Projekt red is one of the last good publishers left. I like to think it's because they are also developers and can sympathise with the gamer and not just see us a customers.

I remember being a fledgling journo at Gamescom when CDPR was showcasing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition behind closed doors, and goddamn man, those guys are a riot to hang out with. Beers, barbecue, we spent more time talking about our favorite media than The Witcher itself. Every time I saw them again, it was all like "hey Anon, you're back again! How you been, dude? GoG working out for you, excited for [game/movie/novel] coming out? Come have some beers dude!" Even hooked me up with some industry networks and contacts that helped established me, so good times.

As Jim Sterling says all the time, indie games and Hellblade prove time and time again that publishers literally do nothing that is required for a quality game to be successful. If more avenues for devs to get funding and distribution pop up, toxic distributors will go bankrupt over the course of a few years when this "fuck you, pay me more!" bubble finally bursts and the fallout scares off investors.

Hard to explain because when someone describes it, it sounds like any other open-world game. It's the combination of grounded world, character interaction, gray morality, real attention to detail even in sidequests, well-written narrative and characters, and audiovisual splendor that did it for me. It takes a bit to get into it though, it's all a bit intimidating at first, but when I was neck-deep in a few narratives that were really emotional and really made me invested, that's when the magic hit.

Which part? EA killed off Visceral Studios after it underperformed, which is almost entirely due to Dead Space 3 being raped to death with microtransactions (EA bein' greedy) and thus getting shitty critical / commercial reception. Visceral was since then working on a single-player Star Wars game that looked really cool, but EA arbitrarily decided to shut the doors and boot everyone. That was a really shitty thing to do, it earned them lots of backlash because they leech studios dry quicker than the speed of light, and is act one of our tragedy.

Act two came almost exactly a week later, when Respawn Entertainment (Titanfall) announced it was getting bought by EA for 440m dollaridoos (with one third cash, one third stock, one third performance incentives that are of course bogus). Titanfall 1 was a commercial success but had lukewarm reviews, Titanfall 2 was a critical hit but didn't sell too well, and Respawn got an offer from publisher Nexon to be bought. Contractual obligations to EA gave EA first rights of refusal, and EA offered a higher price. Respawn took it, and now EA owns Respawn, Titanfall, et cetera. Prepare for Titanfall 3 to have lootboxes and microtransactions to the fucking gills.

EA fucked Visceral by forcing them to make Dead Space 3 a microtransaction-filled mobile game wannabe. Afterwards, "yeah well you sure dropped the ball on that one devs, so the investors dont really trust us to trust you anymore sorrs." Then they shut Visceral down a few years later for not making any notable contributions with the basically no support EA was giving them. As is the EA cycle: order devs to fuck a game, blame them (or the customers) when the franchise stops making money, then use "muh investors" as the reason for shutting them down. But of course EA is too chickenshit to create studios out of fear of them failing, so they buy up studios in charge of well-selling franchises and the cycle repeats. mfw

they cut hero credit cost by 75% right, well what they failed to mention is that they also cut credit income from playing the game by 75%. in other words, nothing changed.

>>
>>750987002
But, EA being EA, they also heavily cut down the money you get in the game required to unlock shit, because of course. Used to get 50k credits for beating the campaign, after the last update it's 15k. They "listened", but are still trying to rig the system in less obvious ways in the hope of it going under the radar this time.

Check Jim Sterling and YongYea's videos on it, YongYea's a bit late on the ball on this one but he'll probably have one up in a bit. Some outlet (Eurogamer or Game Informer, can't remember) did some analysis on a newly issued patch for their review copy, and they noted the differences.

Wtf is wrong with bf2 players? Is grinding a game for 40 hours considered to much for unlocking the most powerful characters?
I mean from what i understood you dont even have to play good...you can semi-afk it.
Does the game have no serious issues like bad netcode, imbalanced maps or shitty hitdetection?
Cause that's what really sucks in fps today, not having to grind 40 hours lol. I mean if you start learning a game how many hours do you put in until you consider yourself semi-decent? 1.5k? 2k? How does the 40hour grind matter then? And if you dont want to git gud at the game, why would you want to take the most important spots on the team (as i'd expect darth vader to be)????
That makes no fucking sense unless you are an autistic dickhead that doesnt care for his team.
Tbh from what i've seen this whole starcard/lootcrate madness seems pretty stupid, but why do people keep bitching about the grind?
Like seriously what are 40h in an fps game? In a skillbased game you couldnt even move your character right after 40 hours lol.
>>
>>750987802
i actually saw this on one of angry joe's videos. that literally takes the fun out of anything. I mean, why would i want to play as best and as epicly as I could if I can just sit there literally doing NOTHING and get the same reward?

Several suggestions:
- read the thread, it's not just 40 hours and even that is unnecessarily excessive, and engineered to not be fun so you'll be manipulated into paying up
- game design-wise the game is really fucked up, regardless of those hours that is something you should object to
- even 2 hours is a lot if you're an adult with responsibilities, a household to maintain, a job, family, etc. Come back in a decade and tell me if you still want to spend several times 40 hours on the same game, doing the same repetitive shit over and over again, when you don't even have an hour per day to yourself.

this. with a cum bag and a child to take care of i can't even hope to spend 2 hours of gaming a day, let alone 40. THAT's why it's all behind paywalls

But of course crowdfunding routes also give us games like No Mans Sky and others. I think the consumer needs to stop being so naive is the real solution. And I don't know if any of the other methods we have right now for funding can generate enough money for a triple AAA title.

But like as you stated they're ARE good indie games out there that prove me otherwise. Are they're any good indie developers that are big AAA title sized teams?

Also there ARE good publishers still out there. I mean, not much but there still is Projekt Red, bless those Poles, and Paradox which I think is giving TaleWorlds all the time it needs to make Bannerlord fantastic. I see too many publishers putting down deadlines and rushing out unfinished games. It needs to stop.

I agree with you both, and am in the same boat with cock holster & jelly tots in tow.

Not very interested in the BF, got 1 and only played for 10 mins or so, I don't really like online FPS or these types of things. Lot of time in MMORPGs in the past, now mainly play single-player campaigns/RPGs.

But I think that you should get rewarded the more time you put into something. 40 hours into a game isn't huge, especially an online one you are playing every day. Even only 30 mins a day you'll have got everything within a few months, which is a pretty short shelf-life.

I don't agree at all with the pay to unlock model. And I think its shittier that good players who want to unlock upgrades/characters will be thrown against bad players who have bought the upgrades from the get-go.

Player/match ranking is hard for the devs to get right. Even after 50 hours playing, you'll still get "bad" players with the same time invested as the "good" ones.

Is it a situation here where you could be level 10 with no characters and matched against a level 10 with best darth vader?

I must say the new GTSport is a disappointment if you want GT7, but the player matching is amazing. Penalties for bad driving really seperate the drivers into tiers.

You suck absolute penis at the game and need to put in several 100 more until people stop telling you "dont give up. You will be decent one day" after duels. You need thousands of hours until you can really move like a good player on most popular maps.
>play 40 hours of cs
And again there is no way you dont suck penis at this game after 40hs. The only difference is that the enemies dont encourage you to keep playing and your teammates will tell you to uninstall.

>>750984608
In a couple months finding that more people are online playing the original than playing the reboot would be the best "fuck you" to EA I could think of.

>>
>>750988771
Tbf with Bannerlord, it isn't exactly a normie yearly franchise that will sell millions upon millions of copies in the first week. Giving it time to be developed to its full potential is probably the best way to ensure sales and a return on investment. Don't assume Paradox would act the same if they published CoD or ACreed

gotcha yeah. if you had only 40 hours in ffxi, you would not know how to play at all. but in an RPG model at least things are tiered, there would be starter activities and low-level parties, mobs and quests.

i guess in these games you are thrown straight in at the deep end, and until you get skilled you'll just get destroyed over and over. its part of the reason I never enjoyed COD or battlefield online, there was no real way to get into it so it didn't even become enjoyable until you'd put those 40+ hours in.

>>750988903
I fully agree that if those 40 hours were at least rewarding, fullfilling experiences instead of monotonous busywork designed to wear you down, I'd have less issues with it. 40 hours is still way too much in a PvP game with payable unlocks though, since it creates arbitrary haves and have-nots that destabilize competitive play in favor of the wallet-pullers. Lower the amount of time required, and the problem is also less big but still there. Axe pay-to-win entirely, and monotonous 40 hours is still an issue. The solution is simple: either axe pay-to-win and make the 40 hours fun, rewarding and exciting, or keep pay-to-win but lower the 40 hours to 5 max. (just a suggestion). EA, being greedy cunts, try to do both.

I do think it's a good idea, as you suggest, to make separated modes for payers and non-payers, so the two don't mingle and it doesn't turn into an asymetrical fuckfest. Then at least the people without time / patience / with large wallets can compete against others like them, without fucking it up for the people that play normally. Still makes the time investment required for unlocks stupid, but at least removes the unfairness from competitive play, which is one of the key psychological manipulators in microtransactions.
>>
>>750989174
im not saying jack the poor bastard up to the same level as everyone else but a little boost couldnt hurt. and if someone exploited it their record would show it. or maybe instead of giving it to them after losing 5 matches badly give them a choice where they would receive some credits or loot at the cost of experience and rank. or burn one of their star cards.
>>
>>750989092
I wasn't assuming Paradox would be like that at all. I respect that company and I've liked every game they put out. A whole lot of DLC for games like EU4 and CK but it's all practically free by the time the just about monthly sale rolls around for it. I think them giving slack and letting TaleWorlds do their own thing and take Mount and Blade in the direction they want it to is great and I commend it.
>>

>Wtf is wrong with bf2 players? Is grinding a game for 40 hours considered to much for unlocking the most powerful characters?

No, that's fine if its the same for everyone, however with this game being so heavily pay2win it isn't. you will run into people using these heroes a fuck load of times in those 40 hrs and if you're not very skilled you're not going to be able to anything about that.

>I mean from what i understood you dont even have to play good...you can semi-afk it.

why would anyone buy games with the intent to semi afk them for 40 hours? if its like that i wouldnt even bother buying the game in the first place.

>Does the game have no serious issues like bad netcode, imbalanced maps or shitty hitdetection?

netcode seems fine, some maps are one sided and theres a lot of random projectile spread. when you're simulating laserprojectile type weapons i dont think spread should be in there. unless if theyre simulating Storm trooper aim.

>Cause that's what really sucks in fps today, not having to grind 40 hours lol. I mean if you start learning a game how many hours do you put in until you consider yourself semi-decent? 1.5k? 2k? How does the 40hour grind matter then? And if you dont want to git gud at the game, why would you want to take the most important spots on the team (as i'd expect darth vader to be)????

that hour scale of yours is so far off, especcially for a game like bf2. personally i wouldnt even need an hour with this game to consider myself semi decent, 1,5/2k is unrealistic for bf2 as it offers no other goals beyond these heroes.
theres no ranks/hiscores/leaderboards or anything to work to work towards. all this game is from what ive been able to tell is to obliterate people using a hero because those vastly outclass any alternative you can play with.
also considering the reward system is a flat amount of credits to everyone, no matter how well you perform so theres not even an incentive to git gud in this game

I understand what you mean, it seems that COD & battlefield were full of guys exploiting, kids, griefers, campers etc etc?

I had high hopes for battlefield 2 i think it was, advertised with 64-person armies battling across huge landscapes, subteams etc. log on and give it a go and its just a case of a bundle of camping snipers and one guy who is really good with an aeroplane nuking the shit out of you every 13 seconds.

I would have loved to find a game where you could enjoy strategic game-play on a level playing field like that. Brink I had high hopes for.

I am sure it exists in quake, tf etc but the time investment isn't worth it to me. I just don't do online gaming any more, period, except for motor racing games.

You play cs since you are 11 and you dont see how movement in cs differs from cod? How old are you? 12? You'd say run and gun is just as viable? You'd say you have amzing control over your movement in air in cod? And all these sick bhops i landed in cod. Yeah exactly the same. Post your steam already so i can 1v1 your mm-playing public-noob ass right now.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>750991154
where in the fuck did i say it was the same. if you really need 40 hrs for every game you play your retarded. no you cant run and gun in c.s. but you can memorize the bullet patterns for when your running how do you think they blow your head off with an awp while jumping stupid.

I just want to

It's true.. I loved the command and conquer series and it went so far down the tubes. The best rts series ever brought to a console is dead.

It's a kind of abstract hell.

i played from about 2 years after UK release, till quite a bit through WotG.

was RDM onry. all subs. one of the best tanks in the game when I was allowed to be, tanked faf/nid as rdm/pld, rdm/nin.

we were claiming all 21-24h mobs almost all the time, selling drops for 27m, cleaning over 100m a week and selling it back to the RMT. a few hundred bucks a week each back in the day.

good times. ultimate goal was to beat AV, was big into Sea, but never got anywhere close. then suddenly level cap is 90, everybody can be overlevelled to do all the shit i worked so hard to do through skill, it just killed it for me.

>>750991312
Your awnser is wrong, bot.
The circle jump start is the action performed by the player at the start of strafe jumping, giving a sudden burst of speed, as opposed to gaining speed with regular strafe jumping
>>
>>750991409
Wtf are you talking about? The spraypatterns are next to useless when moving. You have to stand or crouch to shoot accurately. The awp blows your head off because he is lucky. There is no way to consistently pull of jumpshots with an awp. Get out of master guardian before you try to teach people about cs.

Yeah, the pro's generally only have about 100-200 hours ingame..
oh, wait.

>>750991841
yeah everyone that plays video games gets paid to do it... oh, wait.
>>
>>750991836
Which pro is jumpshooting with awp in a serious game? Except for coldzera lol.
But i mean in general it's not viable. You try to jumpawp people... even for coldzera it's a play that is incredibly lucky and only works 1 time. I mean you can look it up. Im sure 2kliksphillip or how this autist calls himself has made a video about it.
>>
>>750989548

if the base game of shooting ppl in PVP is what you consider non-rewarding monotonous busywork, than maybe you just shouldn't buy games you're not into?

ofc no one disagrees that EA is a shitty profit driven monster, and that all pay to win shit should be restricted to Casinos, online or otherwise.

Srsly EA should just drop all pretenses and pull a Konami. If they wanna make games for profit and only profit, las vegas is full of that.

>>750982420
>pay to win trash

Sounds like you’re a poorfag
>>
>>750992136
its not easy and there is a degree of luck but it is possible to land them 70% of the time, some people even mark the spots on their monitors to do it.
>>
Just don't buy the fucking game to show that we ain't tolerating this scamming anymore. If you really wanted to play it however, at least wait until there's a discount.

EA don't give a fuck about the average gamer's point of view on microtransactions. EA is run by a bunch of greasy old men just trying to profit.

Vote with your fucking wallet! I will definitely not be buying this shit. and it pains me, I'm a huge star wars fan.
>>
>>750991786
I'm not that guy, but a circlejump is a special strafe-jump you do to gain speed in limited space. It's not an outdated synonym or something.
Also i'm>>750991154 and still want the 1v1 offered in>>750990052 , you bitch.
>>
>>750987576
Want to hear the cherry on top?
It actually caps your money earnings if you play too much.

>>750992630
oh i never said i could do it. in fact im garbage with the awp, im saying ive seen it done. i prefer the famas, bullpup, auto-shotty or the standard ak.

Also out of curiosity which leagues did you play in? Cause you sound like a fucking low making excuses.

i do not remember this.

Like. you got an elite blaster if you got an X long kill streak and after getting so many kill streeks you just perma unlocked the elite blaster.

same with other gear too.

there was the campagin that reset when you finished it. but thats any game ever.

>>750981857

>One fucking day, EA will destroy itself.

All they have to do is copy paste all the major sports game every year with slightly updated graphics and change the names of players / add new player names in.

NBA, NFL, FIFFA, MLB, NHL are their core. they just shit out a new one every year and they will roll in the cash no matter how much the game is just like last years with now thery is new player number 47 on this team!!!!
>>
>>750995304
Those weapons were the only ones you had to grind for, and you couldn't just buy them to win.
Stronger units and heroes were based only on how well you fought in that particular match.
>>
>>750995693

ok.... and?

it was logical that there was only 1 guy playing as vader and its logical that the player currently the BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM got access to him first.

It would be retarded to let some scrub muffin who played the game for hours on end every day but still sucked get access to vader and make you loose because while you are leading the team by 20 kills and have the lowest number of deaths you have not unlocked vader yet so the guy with 2 kills and 37 deaths gets to play him and kill no one.

it was a great system that rewarded good players for being good players.

I just wonder why don't they make a good game and then profit from that. Look at Witcher 3 , one of the best games, maybe not best selling but still. Why can't good AAA come out now.
