How so? If you happen to waste $100 on “customizing” your in-game character what advantage would you have over a player that was intelligent and spent nothing on a free game?
I would buy stuff but two things are holding me back:
-
-Yoink!- servers, desync, bare bones content.
-
Insane prices, the fact they pulled key items out of the original Battle Pass to pad their crap store. Absolutely terrible customization options.
Suits that made this happen should be ashamed of themselves.
If prices are too high, dont buy their crap. Complaining wont do anything if people keep on buying, simple as that.
Exactly, please stop buying items that hardly add to gameplay if you are. Please stop and make a change to a game universe to be more about the gaming and more about the endless realms we could battle Slayer in.
Demand new world maps ( I will buy), local co-op, full real estate of split screen tv in multiplayer…
I think sometimes you need to start back at scratch with learning from the past. A single remastered game Like master chief collection only played as a continuous storyline, with infinite added on and as planned I bet the HALO INFINITE Universe is an Alpha & Omega. Filling in all those gaps in the universe would definitely be neverending, like Star Wars.
Because this stuff is extremely toxic, predatory and will fester like the plague consuming everything possible until you’ll end up having to pay for the most basic of things. Need I remind save slots for money? Yea that was a thing in a game at one point, and seeing the current climate of gaming, folks like you would bend over backwards in mental gymnastics to justify it.
Classic slippery slope argument.
Slippery slope argument is horrible because it almost never actually gets anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be, if things worked that way it already would’ve reached that point regardless (F2P has become common, as are microtransactions)
hot take: The store isn’t predatory. its all optional. This isn’t like REQ packs were in Halo 5 that could be argued were designed to prey upon gamblers and people with weak self control.
This would be like me saying the game is predatory because it wastes your time… Stupid.
I’m going to give another slippery slope argument (that is more likely than save slots lol) if 343i/MS do not make enough money off of the current store they’ll look for other ways to make money, REQ packs are on the table, as are other much worse strategies. Infinite is a F2P game, if it fails to make money it’ll be dropped like a hot potato and they’ll just hire another team to make something else.
I just think Infinite is the best fans could’ve gotten as far as store is concerned, other tactics (map packs and lootboxes is all Halo has attempted so far) were far worse. You can play the game and not spend a dime, huge freedom compared to all the other Halos which expected everyone to pitch in lots of money upfront.
