Cosmetics are a big part FOR SOME. The bigger issue I think is people don't know what the fuck they are even buying. Then get pissed when it doesn't play out the way it did in their head. There's more than a handful of people in the D4 OT who have no idea wtf they even bought regarding seasons and the battle pass.
Btw there's dozens of transmogs of literally every gear piece as well as color selections. But I guess if there's ONE single mtx cosmetic in the game, you're gonna be pissed eh? Cuz you have to pay $$$ for that one skin you think you need. Maybe practice some self-restraint.
Nah, customization is prevalent in those kind of games INCLUDING skins. Sure some people won't care but I'm betting a large portion do care about how they look especially once you reach end game.
The menus are so badly designed too, it's almost like it was made that way on purpose so yeah i can't hold it against them. Not to mention that the game explain nothing.
Yeah there is transmog, half of them are ugly (poor male sorcerer...) and obviously the cool stuff is beyond a paywall. And I don't think I need a skin. Would I rather like to get it on a legendary item with low drop rate after a fuckin intense fight? Yeah, of course! Not beyond a paywall... Oh and btw, I would like to have a cool looking horse but guess what, after all this time I only dropped ONE skin, and it's the ugly one (merchant something).
But please, keep justifying how a 70e game that already sold way more than it' predecessor, is fine to have a BattlePass.
Speak for yourself. I will spend my money they way I want to spend it.
You can vote “no with your wallet”, that’s fine, but don’t bring your
axe and probation bullshit in here.
I vote with my wallet, that doesn't prevent me to looking at this stuff
in a game I like. Crazy that they forced this BattlePass trend so hard in everyone's mind that now it's "normal" in a fully priced game.
If gaming’s worse in ten years it will be thanks to the gamers that can’t enjoy a game unless they’re on a treadmill, to unlock costumes.
Back when Diablo 2 released, nobody bought it to play dress up with their Barbarian. Thanks to modern gamers, that’s the focal point now.
I looked at the store once, with a friend who told me about Necro's outfit which he thought was super cool. Otherwise I was playing with my Sorcerer and now with my Druid on the season.
Back when Diablo II was released, that question didn't even arise, because you bought the game with its full content. No bullshit, no DLC, no shop, and no chills to say "b-b-b-but it's cosmetic". That's it.
I mean it's fuckin Blizzard, I can understand that in a small indi game with few source of revenue a dev will explore ways to make money but come on! Do your seasons, and in a year or so release an expansion. You know, just like how it worked before!
