Quad Damage 1,730 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It behooves first party publishers to provide top quality productions that make their consoles worth buying. Nintendo and Sony have both produced amazing games to sell us on the PS4 and Switch. Microsoft, however, is different. Microsoft has decided to act no better than a grasping third party "AAA" publisher. Even worse, it set the tone of a generation and contributed - perhaps more than any other company - to the nasty normalization of excessive monetization. It's Microsoft's fault that videogames are bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 LOL that mumbling he does at 11:50. I think he talks too much about microtransactions, when there's alot of other bad things happening in games right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,733 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) lol funny vid, but the microtransactions don't usually bug me. the only time i felt like a game could have been AAA, but was held back because of its unnecessary padding, was ass creed odyssey. there was an option to BUY +50% xp. as someone who has played the game to completion, i felt the experience would have been better/tighter had they just structured the game with that XP scale. i love how he mentioned fire emblem and god of war. both games are great examples of balance and proper progression, with their respective genre. i never once felt i was grinding in fire emblem.

Last generation started with MTXs with EA and Microsoft saw the opportunity for the future that games would have them, so they made their first party games towards them for XB1 launch. This in effect symbolizes their lack of good games because they needed those MTXs to sustain them instead of creating good, enticing games that Sony/Nintendo make without MTXs. Launch titles he touched on was Ryse, Forza 5, and Lococycle. - Chapter 3: Excuse for using MTXs. Basically quotes from executives of those launch games about MTXs being optional until it turns to "timesavers" to change wording. This makes third party publishers extremely happy. - Chapter 4: Microtransactionsoft. Basically, talks about MS' big AAA games having MTXs for no reason at all (Halo 5, Gears of War 4, Forza 7, etc.). Sony/Nintendo wasn't using them and MS just wanted to be greedy. Criticized Gears 5 for having MTX while stating "we have no loot boxes" and calling out the stroking of themselves by thinking they are the first to implement "no lootboxes" in games and moving the industry forward. - Chapter 5: Final Chapter. Brings up some praise for accessibility for all users due to hardware/accessories and Gamepass and opening up to other platforms. However, talks about how MS is the company that got into games other than the fact that they didn't like Sony's marketshare in the industry. This is also the company that brought us paying for online gaming with consoles and played a big part of normalizing MTXs in games, makes the most powerful console in the world, but has no launch games designed specifically to take advantage of it. Final point is that it was using its original DRM plans to help normalize MTXs in games from 2013 to present and to make the future worse for gamers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
