Pay to cheat BS

[BeefOrBacon]

I am so sick of these games that have pay to win DLC. I was looking forward to playing this for months. Can't take it anymore. There are too many good games out there that have pay to cheat. I am so sad by this, honestly. Like...these devs these days make games and deliberately make in game currency difficult to get or extra grindy and then pitch "Oh, if you spend $3 you can get in game money easier!" I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Do not buy this.

Have you ever considered.... not paying? I know it sounds insane, but you should give it a shot sometime.

The generation that grew up post horse armor DLC will defend any capitalism rot to their grave and be proud of it.

"this makes me so sad" lol

Oh nooo...this new gen has lost the plot entirely. We are done, as you say cooked, when it comes to micro transactions boys. We used to agree that micro transactions or "DLC" for single player games in this manner was corporate greed and a big nono. Now we have insane people supporting it or "dont see an issue with it".

It'll just keep getting worse. Look back after 15 years when you have pop up ads in your games.

So many justifying and rationalizing this. Is it a good game?....sure. But just release a game with none of this dlc nonsense. It just moves the goal post every time...inch by inch....with each "i don't see an issue with it" that's how capitalism wins. inch by inch....game by game....slowly so it doesn't raise red flags.

No we didn't. Consumables, yes. Day one DLC, yes. But a developer continuing to work after their game is released to provide fans with more content? They deserve to be paid.

You literally don't have to buy and It's not a must to own it, and progression in the game is either hugely impacted by your impulse or deluxe edition buying and inability to *not* use something, and not owning it, the game isn't that hard without it.

Now, if the game was rather strikingly difficult and made to weigh more in the favor of owning or or requiring it like it did in Shadow of Mordor, then I would absolutely not buy the game at all, but It doesn't do that.

Tell me you haven't played an atlus game in the past 11 years without telling me.

Just don't use the Magatama's from the DLC. I don't. It just ruins the game and the experience.

Also make sure to play in Hard Mode for the real experience.

Dude chill, its optional and for the most of it is to ease the grind.

You can disable the Mitama dlc even before playing if that bothers you. Not a reason good enough to not give the game a try but that's up to you.

That doesn't address the fact that the devs deliberately make the game extra grindy to get you to buy the boosts. It's a problem of incentives.

Actually they made Vengeance even LESS grindy by reducing the effect level differences have on damage

it's not "extra grindy"? I turned mitama dlc off, never turned it on once and beat the game in both the original and same trajectory here. they added auto-skill to auto battles so you can easily grind the small stuff.

Good luck getting that across to the simps on here, at the end of the day just use WeMod for free cheats instead of paying for the corporate scumbags who intentionally reduce the quality of the game for profit.

pay to win in a single player game, are you brain dead lol?

Thinks megaten is grindy.

Legitimate skill issue.
