I was going to get this.

But microtransactions. I am keeping away now from EVERY game that hits me with a full pay at the start and adds microtransactions, unless I get a live service where the microtransaction is paying someone's salary to make constant updates. F that.

This is a live service game tho.

If this was full pay you wouldnt get the game + expansion for 69,99€.

it would cost 100.

When they scream "microtransactions" but don't even check that all the mini-dlc packs are all purely cosmetics xD

[Kitsune Dzelda]

To be honest its still scummy: They used to have this stuff for free, and now suddenly theyre nickel and diming it. I mean, yeah, their game their rules, but you could also argue that my wallet: My decision.

They used to have stuff free, yes.


You still have ffree stuff..... so noothing changes in that regard

[Riger82]

All the armor and weapons in the game can be used as cosmetics once you get far enough.
Whining because you have to pay for a few seems rather childish.

I don't think it is, MHW was a much more blatant attempt at that, but even that one wasn't really a live service game the way people generally understand those. This game much like World is going down a roadmap for about 1 year and then it will stop updating completely.

Though, I won't defend Capcom's cosmetic practice with this one, that much is bad.

[Toxi]

OP, from my experience as someone who almost never buys a single piece of mini-dlc in games, the only thing that I ever bought in this game that was cosmetics were the Sunbreak deluxe edition and the pompadour hair. It's a crime that they pay walled that and didn't let me continue my pompadour hunter journey from MHW, but I digress..

For my part, I would consider it a loss if I didn't buy this game because of those, when I got the game and I'm still having a lot of fun. These cosmetic dlcs are bad, but I'm also voting with my wallet by never buying any more of those cosmetics.

[Mika gunhild]

would you rather pay every tittle update?

because i prefer mine free while they are selling cosmetics for it

My definition of GaaS means that we get incomplete games and content updates later down the road until the live circle is done. Imho that totally counts for mhw and mhr.

I don't play many of these tho. I only know forza horizons way of doing it and monster hunter right now.

I'm in no way defending their practices. I rather want complete games from the get go.. but capcom seems to be obsessed with player retention these days.

But I also recognize the amount of work these games need. As someone who founded Dauntless at alpha release.. I surely know that boss fight simulator games can be hell to develop and monetize.

Thats not what GaaS means.

Events do not make a game GaaS

When you talk about GaaS, you talk about years of support. Not one year after the expansion has released. That is just Capcom's stance on MH.

GaaS are known to change content. Not add content. Some do this, but most of them remove old content in a way.

We did not get 'incomplete games'.

[TyresTyco]

I dont mean event quests tho. Rather title updates. We can circle around definitions all day long but the fact remains that the game released incomplete only for them to update later.. trying to justify the huge amount of dlc.
