    Yup, those are certainly some microtransactions that don't feel so micro 😂

      It's about time we started calling them transactions. They haven't been "micro" in a long time.

    This industry standard is extremely frustrating, you know they're just keeping what could be in the actual game and selling it. Absolutely ridiculous

    It’s sad. It actually looks like a good game. As a long time diablo fan I was excited about this game. But since Blizzard doubled down against what the gaming community wants, and went with a battle pass. I’ll just watch ppl play it bc I’m not giving a dollar to Blizzard for this game.

      same here. i was about to buy the game but luckily the ps store showed all of these in game currency bundles before i put my card in....i really dont like where these game companies have decided go with regularly releasing unfinished games and having microtransactions. just disappointment after disappointment in my experience

  • @julianperry4767
    @julianperry4767 Год назад +6

    I thought the whole point of games going from $60 to $70 was so that they could fully fund a complete experience. Why are they double dipping with $70 + planned expansions + Battle passes + DLC + premium currencies. They want their cake and to eat it too.

      Because todays gamers are literal morons, and will buy anything that is in a cashshop.

    • @anomonyous

      You're delusional if you think that was ever the reason they raised prices in the first place.
      Which I know you're not. So, you know, I know, we all know, what this is really about. It's unnecessary garbage that cheapens the experience and exploits customers for greed.

  • @TheOrderofDylan

    Looking over the items and prices, I don't see myself spending any more on the game, outside of the seasonal battle passes. What are your thoughts on the game's microtransactions and cash shop?

  • @ACatHandler

    Suddenly i don't feel like paying full price for a game with content sold separately. I'll just wait for a sale

  • @BarkORama
    @BarkORama Год назад +16

    Simple, corporate greed, look up the cost to make these sets and time you wont believe how easiy it is for then to make money back.
    Also notice how they went with the in-game currency route. This provides them with two ways to scum over people. 1, you can never buy anything for the price that's offered (800? You need to buy the 10$ pack) and then you have a fake currency which can make you think its not as much as you are spending (alot easier to spend 800 gems then hitting the same button to spend 8$).

    • @thepowderdtoa5tman
      @thepowderdtoa5tman Год назад +1

      Exactly. I won’t be spending any money on this game. Makes me sad. But Blizzard needs to change and I won’t be enabling the battlepass lifestyle.

    • @BarkORama
      @BarkORama Год назад

      @thepowderdtoa5tman I don't think at the core battle passes are a bad thing, I feel they need some adjustments to work better for the consumer. I don't like these "micro" transactions. My personal idea is not buying anything from shop. But ill buy the battlepasses if I feel I can play enough for the season to complete it.

    • @KenKen13686

      Another thing to keep in mind as well is that if tax isn't included buying 5 of the 200 platinum costs $9.95 but the 1000 platinum costs $9.99.

    So just to verify before i take the plunge and drop $70 on D4, there is no pay to win implemented at all yet right? Even the battlepass is just cosmetic unlocks correct?

      Think they will walk it back on there not being pay to win, once they got players hooked like they been adding tokens to WoW classic after saying they wouldn't, think now the cat is out of the box on what they "could" earn from Diablo immortal there I think is no way the greedy suits are not going to push the possibilities to the limit here.

    I hate transmog and wish they'd never added that feature. You used to be able to tell what someone had on. Now they could be wearing anything, and the way things look doesn't matter at all (not that it ever really did, I know) because it could be anything.

    • @TheOrderofDylan
      @TheOrderofDylan  Год назад +3

      I kinda see what you're saying. I'm not mad at a game giving people customization choices if it helps them better immerse themselves in their character. For me, personally, it's only when it gets to a point where it breaks *my* immersion and you've got barbarians running around in underwear and clown makeup that it would be too much.

      It's cosmetic only and doesn't affect gameplay. You literally see this sorta thing in every multiplayer game. Even golden oldies like EverQuest have this now. Acting all outraged and refunding is your choice...this stuff is here to stay. Just ignore it, and if you can't, then that's on you.

    Lol. “Back in my day”… yeah. When I think micro transaction, that’s 99 cents USD.
    I get it though. Everyone is trying to squeeze every last cent out of everyone. But just like supply and demand, if no one buys stuff at a certain price, the price will go down. (Of the whole store will go away lol)

  • @DesertF0X1
