      @Yinzermakesvids How is it predatory? Except for a few skins among the thousands they have, everything can be gotten in game. Destiny 2 is on the list and that is a predatory game, luring you with microtransactions and paid DLCs, but not explicitly telling you what you need to get all the content

      To be fair, Eidos Montreal was only a support studio for Marvel's Avengers, as the main developer was Crystal Dynamics (who deserve more criticism for how they handled their game). Eidos Montreal developed Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and that game's critical reception was much better than Marvel's Avengers.

    There's no such thing as Games with Live Services that don't suck, Live Service sucks in general, no matter what game it is, because these companies are delusional, thinking "Live Services and not owning games is the future of gaming". Like, no, it isn't. You're saying that even if we have the physical disc, we still don't own it?? Your game servers aren't going to last forever, you know. And if your game lacks singleplayer or an offline mode, it just means that you don't even care about the very games you publish, or the developers that made those games.
    Live service games suck, not owning games suck.

    I know some people are going to bash that Helldivers 2 is on this list. I was not happy about that at first either, until I remembered the name of the video. Live Service Games that don't suck. Helldivers 2 as a GAME doesn't suck at all. It's a GREAT game. What DOES suck is the "live service" itself, by requiring a PSN account now, after six months of not requiring it. This is forcing exposure to a database that gets hacked every year and a half or so, not to mention essentially bricking the game for anyone who bought it in countries and regions that does not allow PSN. Don't blame the game, blame the publisher.

  • @RogerWazup007
    @RogerWazup007 Місяць тому

    I outright don't want to buy or support games that do any of these:
    a) require a server connection to play or progress with no offline option
    b) have unethical monetization such as outrageously priced cosmetics or total DLC
    c) use FOMO via limited-time unlocks
    d) intentionally make progression a grind/chore to encourage convenience items/passes
    e) add cosmetic or premium currency monetization after review windows with no prior announcement of this
    I don't care how "good" their gameplay is. Many might have good gameplay. I care more about content, value, and having access to everything by playing at my own pace. The above practices sour the experience that potentially good gameplay might provide.
    I wish there were laws requiring direct and visible warnings of these and hefty fines and required allowed returns for games when companies start this crap after launch.

    The moment you said Helldivers 2, I clicked on the dislike button. At first, the game sold like gangbusters, but the moment Phony requires you to sign in to the LameStation account, the storm hit the shit ship. Thus refunds are being doled out as the ship sinks. Plus, I'm not a fan of Fortnite. Never played it. Never liked the footage on UA-cam. Not my thing.
