and I didn't save the text like an idiot
^can relate
There's only one way to escape from that feeling.
A loooong dirt nap.
Easy difficulty
I've parsed through dante's inferno, I'm not sure if that'd work even
I wish they would stop selling cheats as micro transactions which may comprise the game design...
sauce?
*or game in question?*
NPCs don't level up
*tell that to the guards of any major metropolis in WoW*
The most recent shadow of Mordor game has been criticized for the true ending requiring a lot of high quality orcs which you either have to tediously going for or play for gamble boxes to get them. They removed the gamble boxes & had to rebalance the game because you can’t buy to gamble to speed up your progress. Similar thing happened to Star Wars battlefront two.
ohhhh
yea, i was lucky enough to get all the orcs i needed before they took the store down
*not that i bought them, but it was easier to trade stuff with it*
I won't buy the dlc because of the shit they did... but i really want it
The newest assassines creed game has also been has similar problems with being very grindy which could be alleviated with some boosters
That you have to buy
I LOVED shadow of war
many assassin's creed reviews point blank said "just buy all the xp/money/drop enhancers and it's a good game." That should be a sign that the game is purposely broken to make you buy the boosters.
I would have to agree with that
as for Shadow of War... the whole point of it, from the gamer's side, was to double down on the rivalry system and really flush that out, make it truly epic.
What we actually got was lootbox orcs being the only way to win without an artificially bloated grind.
And when they finally finished milking it and started getting blowback thanks to the battlefront 2 fiasco snowballing to other games, they COMPLETELY REBALANCED THE ENDGAME so they could take lootboxes out. Because they knew the whole time that they purposely fucked it up to force lootboxes into it in the first place.
If you exited the game right before your orc died, you could reload and try again without losing the orc
Should you really have to do that though? Is that really something that should be a standard mechanic to avoid needing to buy lootboxes?
I have about 62 orcs in my garrison 47-68
yea, they made a janky game based around micro tranactions
i want the dlc
but io will not buy it
great game without the greed
I don't mind DLC if it's decent. DLC can be a great thing when it's something they added on to an existing game and that makes it even better. The problem is DLC that should've been part of the main game and got cut out because "muh greed".
*oof*
There should be a review score for games that is played specifically with only the base game, no DLC, no Microtransactions, no extra payment of any kind. Then specifically have that review exist only to take points off for doing shitty things regarding cut content and monetazation, and auto-apply that to any other score anywhere.
"Shadow of War 10/10! Perfect game!"
"many DLCs, lootbox fiasco, massive grind, -3 points."
"Shadow of War 7/10! Perfect Game (if not for microtransactions and shit)"
In an ideal world
now I am going to play the game... for research purposes
