Really now? Not buying the next one due to this crap. I already bought the game too but haven't gotten around to playing it. Feels like bait and switch. Which is pretty scummy.
At first I was going to say it’s annoying, but it make sense to keep the servers up and running and the only ones playing are the ones who are still ingrained in the community. But after reading the article and seeing Tencent now owns them, this is pure gree.
£4.99 nets ya 500 points and the cheapest bundle is 550 Oh my where have I seen this shady tactic used before? Governments need to outlaw/BAN companies engaging with this bullshit currency exchange, When I click on games nowadays and see multiple currency bundles as dlc I step away from that garbage.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. Thanks, Techland for DL 1.
yeah, that kind of bs needs to be banned. If you're going to offer MTs at least make everything purchasable for one transaction. Not this bs that forces you to spend more and/or leaves you with a pittance left that you can't spend unless you buy more in game currency... You sell 500 tokens then charge 500 for said MT, or split things up into 100 or 250 tokens, etc, etc, etc. This type of MT is the scummiest of scum.
I didn't care for the first game. It felt real samey. Like it was pretty big and I'd be running through areas and felt I just went through that same area. Same reason assassins creed turns me off. Assassins creed wasn't as bad though.
Blame Tencent. You don't have to buy them. The game has been out for over a year now. The next game is definitely going to be questionable. They made a solid first game. This one was OK but much less intense.
Micros transactions and not-asked-for cross-overs with other games or TV shows that THEY are apparently fans of (again no one asked for their insertion of this other properties) So fing lame that they went full Ubisoft with this IP.
Seeing dumb zombies with payday masks really is not doing the game any favors at all.
Really disappointing. First game was hugely underrated and one of my favorites from last gen. The sequel felt worse in almost every way. Not until Dead Island 2 came out and showed them up did they bother to improve DL2. Now they are owned by Tencent im out on anything they do.
Damn. I had a video based on Walking Dead blow up on my channel and this is on sale and i was considering picking it up for another zombie-based video but... I'll buy something else.
Even ignoring the obvious issues with Tencent; Adding Microtransactions later is my least favorite thing and feels like skewing review numbers. I wouldn't have bought, say, Crash Team Racing if i knew a month later every time I played I'd be hounded to give them a bloody monthly subscription pass "or else you wont get this cool stuff!" every time i finish a race.
2023 gaming is gross. I just played through Driver San Francisco and it reminded me of how good games used to be. Cars unlock naturally, in-game currency can only be earned not bought with real money, super creative gameplay mechanics and an insanely good story.
I uhhh have gone off topic completely but I guess i'll plug my channel if anybody vibes with this and wants to check out Driver San Fran https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Man I miss the driver series. That and stuntman games were such good riving games back in the day. Some of the physics and car feel still top modern driving and racing games. Good times!
