A good example in this video how they almost steal money from gamers.I'm not buying battlepacks myself and never will but still it shows how much these bastards are gready . The game itself is awesome but that + the price they ask for it + how fucked up is the rented server system i'm thinking more and more for the future on  focusing on small companies games or going back to old BF or COD games.Again i love the game but i feell a little raped every time i see the EA/DICE logo on the loading screen and i don't like that feeling.Rant over.

PS:Fuck you DICE !!!

Spending 100s of dollars or whatever your currency is on cosmetic items is just fucking retarded. It is these people's own fault for trying to get a fucking skin.

 

I can't even bring myself to spend $2 for a cosmetic item no matter how cool it is. If I have to gamble my purchase then I'm not going to purchase anything at all. When I spend my money on something the first time I better get what I paid for the first time.

 

These people gambling for a skin that has no value but eye candy have a worse problem than gambling at a casino because at least at a casino there is a chance to raise your value.

Then again, at a casino, play enough and the house always wins.

At a casino I'm either up anywhere from $20-$40 or as soon as I lose $20 I'm out. I'm cheap when it comes to throwing my money away.

 

Also I said there is a chance to raise your value. I did not say you absolutely will raise your value.

The most I ever won in a single hand of blackjack was $280. I won about a thousand dollars in seven hands before my name was called for the shuttle bus-ride back to my hotel. Gave the dealer a thirty-dollar tip.

 

I wish we had casinos in Alaska. Sigh. Ayaq

Good post Olive but remember all Cod games for about the last 7 years have done the same thing ie sell you game module then you have to pay all over again for the xtra DLC etc, i would be amazed if anyone bought Battlepacks from BF1, it is probably the biggest con they have ever dropped on us, you get a Battlepack and 99% of the time you cash it in to buy ......yes another Battlepack, but the best thing is when you have enough scraps to buy 900 point (is it 900?) Battlepack and you get a legendary skin or something it asks if you want to cash it in for 270, so you save 900 just to cash them in for 270....fucking crazy, it is a very good game but the weapons rank ups and Battlepacks are probably the worst i have seen in Battlefield.

Yeah you idiot, just buy premium and there is no more shit to buy. Those damn boxes are just cosmetic items that change the look of something. It's nothing game breaking.

some people would like to play the game ..but some people don't have a 120.00 to spend on a game that you can't enjoy with your friends..but that is the way now ..buy a game for 60.00 and then you have to spend more to get new maps.and if not ..you don't play with your friends that have the map packs ..and you can't even play on the servers .you don't have the map packs so your shit out of luck..nothing like it was ..COD WAW i think was the last game that we could mod then the games just turned it to money pits ..

You still had to buy the base game before you could buy the Premium which has all the DLC and map packs, so in effect you are buying the game twice.

This is why I wait 1 to 2 years before buying a game. BF1 is on sale and ultimate edition which includes the base game, deluxe content and all future DLC is $97.48. If the game is still any good by then for when I pick up ultimate edition for $25 or so.

 

It's rare I pay full price for a game. The last game I paid full price for was Tom Clancy's The Division... Huge mistake. Before that it was Metro Last Light. I do not regret paying full price for metro. Still the best single-player campaign I have ever played.

 

If my friends want to be idiots and spend $120 on a brand new game go ahead, I will wait until it is 80% off which is 120 x .80 = $96. Then 120 - 96 = $24

The game will be finished in 2 years because the next Battlefield game will be out, good luck with finding any servers by then.

Thus perpetuating the cycle.

I won't be the only person to do this so there will be servers full of noobs, and some veterans. I would rather enjoy a finished game instead of an unfinished game for full price that I play for 2 years until the next unfinished game is released.

Nope... I bought the ultimate edition. That has all in.... Okay, it costs more, but don`t have to bother about DLC`s and stuff anymore. And only buy once...

Not everyone such as myself have disposable income that can be thrown into a $120 game if you want all the content. Instead of paying outrages prices for games, that money goes towards my bills, car repairs, computer parts, etc... I will join all the other people in the same money situation as me when it's $25 for the ultimate edition.

Have to +1 that on income and bills. Which for me income isnt much. And now a couple monthly bills will be going up. We also do have to keep in mind that making DLC isnt free. Especially since things like maps are vastly more complicated than in the cod4/5 days. The developers have to pay many millions to create and distribute it all.

 

The real question however is whether or not certain things, that in the past went into the base game (not updates), are already made and ready to go but held back to sell you later in DLC. There have been cases where the content is already there and, in players view, paid for but locked. I dont know if they do this practice anymore however. Too much backlash since players considered it double dipping.

I understand the money thing.... I myself put some money aside for it, because well... BF- series is the only thing i play and i knew when it would come out, so had enough time. If you think it isn`t worth the money for you, that`s a different story.

Plus, most of the skins are really bad recolours. Like, changing one colour makes another skin. "Let's give them a different colour. Change this brown a lighter shade. Perfect. Let's sell it."

Haven't played BF since BF3. I really enjoyed it but by time it was at a price I could afford to spend on a game, most friends were up to some high level then BF4 came out, everyone moved on and no more BF3 so I haven't played BF since.

Now BF4 will get replaced and so on but too much money on these games to get replaced so quickly.

I'll stick with my codwaw, bought and paid with years of enjoyment. For me, its not all about the latest and greatest but the time with friends. And I still enjoy the game.
