In-game purchases

[Xorza]

It really bothers me, again lootboxes? I pay 60 bucks for a game where else do I have to buy skins? Really?

You don't have to buy, it's optional. I see nothing wrong with cosmetic items being sold.

No, it's not normal. I do not want half the content to be bought for money. As a rule, in such games, free decorations either look like ♥♥♥♥ or very long grind.

Exactly. Assassins Creed Origins was really bad in terms of nice costumes, horses and weapons. Especially visually the shop content was looking far better, then most things ingame. The ingame stuff also had a lot less variation and almost only in color. There were only very few armor pieces comparable to the ones in the shop.

What was also bad was the ability to earn money. It was almost grindy. For one mission you got around 300-400 while a upgrade for a armor or weapon was costing 4000.

For me it was clear that they want to give you a lot of incentives to buy from the store and at the same time sacrificed a well balanced game and also gave many chances in terms of gameplay away. The treasure hunts for example - In egypt a must have in my opinion - were pretty useless and boring.

They also put in a lot of work to make cheating very hard. The only way to cheat was basically with money.

So, is it not worth preordering or buying after launch because of this?

Its been stated that EVERYTHING that can be BOUGHT, Can be EARNED through in-game exploration.

Its not a paywall of MT only items. Its a shortcut for the impatient.

You can find silver bars, which are hidden in game, probably in some caches or something. You can use them as premium currency to buy boosters and cosmetics, you can also use standard ingame credits for most in game purchases.

Where are the guarantees that I will not need 1000+ hours to open at least half of the visual content?

I don't know about the quantity, we'll just have to wait and see for ourselves, hopefully not much grind :)

This isn't EA and there are no actual loot boxes in the game but if you need a guarantee then it's not long to wait for reviews and player feedback.

Yes, if a game developer makes money with cosmetic items I don't see a problem too. I mean, every content should be available to get for free somehow, for example a specific Ingame achievement, but if it is only cosmetic stuff to buy for real money it's alright.

Guys stop whining. It's not a big deal, you either buy it or you don't, it does not affect you either way. There are loads of people who would rather unlock costumes early by paying and there is nothing wrong with that as it's not something gameplay related and won't make you a better player in any way.

[MooP]

They said its not loot boxes, its just buying items early instead of grinding for them in-game... Just don't buy anything.
