The last one is spot on. I think everything about the recent sims games could fall into this category. You wanna play as monsters or aliens or something like that, ok i can understand putting that in a dlc, everything else the sims does should just be in the base game.

Considering that they were ordered by EA to use the incomplete proprietary Frostbite Engine rather than Unreal Engine 3 went to explain a lot to the crunch at BioWare. Most of the assets for Inquisition had to be developed in-house, and weren't properly implemented into the Frostbite Engines assets afterwards, which led to no amount of issues when Andromeda was released years later.

Destiny 2 even took Cayde from us and is selling him back in an expansion.

about dragon age inquisition...

The ONE grace that Destiny 2's free to play model has now, in my opinion, is that the first 3 raids of Destiny 1 are reprised and included in the free to play Destiny 2. They're all really good content drops and the only thing really worth playing with friends outside dlc's unless you like PvP too.

With the Nintendo example, I can’t remember if the convinient one was included as standard in the original Skyward Sword or not. If it was in the original, than yes absolutely, it was scummy to hide it behind a paywall. If it wasn’t, than the scummiest thing was the price of the amiibo. I don’t have a ton of complaints about the other amiibo unlocks, except for the Metroid hardest mode, that was scummy.

Dragon Age: Origins…. You had to buy a DLC to store your stuff. Warden’s Keep DLC was the only place that had a storage chest. If you didn’t buy it, you’d be quickly throwing your legendary gear on the ground.

What about the original Destiny locking players out (into demo) that didn’t purchase the Legendary Edition, even if they purchased the base game and all the required DLC separately!

I have actually logged 40+ hours of Sims 4 with just the base game. It gets monotonous and definitely not the 'full' experience but I would argue there is enough there to justify a full game. Tbh I may have actually bought expansions if there weren't so many and it was feasible to get them all but I fear going down that slippery slope and coming out $1,000 lighter

One of the core gimmick of Pokémon is to trade them with others in order to complete your collection, that made sense back then. Moreover, when the OG Pearl and Diamond came out you could pretty easily trade online for free. But no second save slot, on one hand, I can understand the frustration. On the other I guess they force you into a single save to make use of the trading system again. Considering how the GTS works, you could easily trade with yourself choice-locked 'mons like starters and some legendaries, defeating the "social" aspect of the game.

@kikixchannel

@@CulturexHardcore It's not like this cannot be solved by having special 'save' slots for the rare monsters that will make sure that if you trade one of those rare monsters that you're locked out of getting them on any save file, and vice versa, if you get one of them from a trade that it's available for all of your saves. That being said, this entire concept is just terrible money grab. You can argue all you want that it 'makes sense' for the social element, but reality is that those games are single player games. In the first place, you can get all of that 'single player' so long as you spend enough money for two consoles and two copies. Hence, yeah. It's just a money grab.

Skip Fates... It was an attempt to capitalize on Awakening's popularity.

I have the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo because I got the game. I didn’t have to pay for it.

I've played Destiny 1 and 2, If you don't buy the season pass then you have to pay separately for each DLC. Practically all games are set up that way. If people really want to complain, it's the Mobile App games that are the real pay to play, where people spend $1000s of dollars to get ahead on the game and still not be very far along. They aren't going to make new content for free. The only micro transactions apply to cosmetics only. Lord of the Rings Online is a real pay to play game, where you get to level 30 and have to pay to remove the block to continue on to new content. The only plus side is you also earn gold coins that can be used to unlock new content or trade for gear upgrades, so you'll have choose wisely or fork over the buck to buy extra gold coins.

I uninstalled D2 a long time ago, when the game changed after updates.

I didn't even know there was DLC for Dragon Age Inquisition. Even worse with the Sims thing - some DLC requires the purchase of prior DLC, literally double dipping

Fallout 76 should be on this list. They force you to get Fallout 1st, because eventually you have to stop playing as you will reach your different stash limits. Playing more and getting more gold/tokens/legendary gear will only encumber you and make you literally unable to play. There were a few "good" updates, according to some people, since I stopped playing, but I doubt they will have removed those limits.

Yeah, we all hate it as Destiny players. We hate it, it's one of our favorite games.

Destiny 2 was "free" to play in that you have a set amount of content that's "free" but the majority of the content is paid.

Its actually wild how Bungie exposed themselves to horribly with Destiny. Bungie really made the public believe that it was their parent companies to blame for everything. And because of the growing distain for publishers, and the sentiment that studios should have their own creative freedom, the public easily bought in and fought for Bungie every step of the way. Whether it was against their own parent company Xbox, or against their current owner (at the time) Activision-Blizzard. They really did a great job of making it seem like every bad or greedy decision made, was one that was out of their control.... Then eventually we realized that it was all them. Theyd been making every greed, heavily handed monetization, and consumer unfriendly decision completely free of their publishers. Even when left to their own devices, theyd made every step to soak up as much as they could. And even when given the opportunity to walk back stuff, they made it so that you had to pay even more through the nose, and even then they could cut stuff out on a whim. Not that it matters though. This is going to be one of those studio stories where they get away with practically everything and people still eat it up. When Marathon eventually drops, despite us already knowing its a live service game, people are going to buy into the hype and dive in just to be shocked when they find the trash heaps.

You can get epona from just playing botw and totk, you dont need the amiibo. she's an above avg horse, so it doesnt matter. The only amiibo locked feature is the wolf link summon, and it sucks anyway. You need to have a save file on your amiibo from Twilight Princess where you completed the "start with nothing and clear all floors without dying" challenge mode However many hearts you have at the end of that mode is the health wolf link has as a summon. so either you did do the mode and its useful bc your link is early on in botw and you're still too weak to simply kill the monsters yourself; in this case the wolf is a tanky companion that trivializes gameplay by 1shotting most enemies. But wolf links damage never increases, so it becomes useless as the monsters level up. or you didnt do the mode and the wolf dies fast and is pointless. its also a pain when you dont want to kill certain enemies for one reason or another, it can absolutely aggro enemies you didnt want to fight, trigger explosions that would kill you or knock you off a cliff. Overall it doesnt matter at all, if you teleport say by entering a shrine, wolf link is unsummoned and cannot be brought back for 24 real time hours. At best its a really cool flavor pet that is either way too good or pointless and frustrating to use.
