-They aren't 45 fucking dollars

No, they're $3 a piece. That adds up. 15 chances at getting armour I want = $45.

-You can unlock every req piece through playing the game

Yeah, after 600+ hours or so. You can reach maximum level in Destiny in little under 10 hours by just playing the game.

So there's even less of an excuse to spend $45 on this.

It's very obviously the lesser of two evils here.

You're a lunatic. Bungie isn't limiting anyone's content levels by introducing this transaction -- in fact, it's the contrary. They're giving us huge amounts of content for free.

343i walled-off content behind both RNG and the REQ point system. Good luck getting a piece of armour you want anytime soon unless you spend money out the ass at the CHANCE to get something worth your time. I've gotten armour once out of the 7 or 8 times I've opened a gold pack. Whether I be unlucky or not, it doesn't matter. The fact that it's possible for that to even happen is complete horsefuck. Imagine if I had spent $3 for every one of those packs. There goes $25 down the drain with nothing to show for it.

Even if you aren't going to buy this, why continue to play the game and support a developer who is trying their best to fuck you?

Because they aren't trying to fuck me, they're trying to get away with free major content updates. The same way Halo 5 included microtransactions to cover for their free DLC packs.

This is just Bungie's first move, and if retards like you aren't at all bothered by it, then it won't be their last.

Nice slippery-slope fallacy.

Halo 5 has microtransactions in place of paid dlc and I'm fine with it; but $45 is absolutely ridiculous.

Halo 5's microtransactions are demonstrably worse than this.

$45 is more expensive than the taken king expansion for crying out loud.

Not many people need a fully-levelled Warlock, but the ones who do can just utilise this option. I don't care, I won't be buying it, it doesn't directly affect me in any way but positively. The retards who give Bungie money for this are fueling my content.

Kotaku: Kojima Finally Leaves Konami To Start His Own Studio


VG24/7 Reiterates


Thoughts?

It warms my heart to hear he's still going to make games. And partnering with Sony is a fantastic idea, especially he he chooses to become exclusive. Sony treats their in-house devs better than... pretty much any other publisher I can think of.

I would love to see something action-adventure-y from him (kind of hoping he doesn't make something similar to Silent Hills).

I had a dream last night where "Shrek and Donkey" were one of the characters announced. And I never have dreams about Smash. Hopefully that illustrates how subtly excited I am for this.

My official bets are going towards Wolf and Shovel Knight.

Who cares? It's optional, it's not locking off content. If people wanna be stupid and give Bungie this much money, I couldn't care less. We get free content updates now because of this model.

Portuguese and Brazilian.

Progressed a bit more today. After many attempts, I figured out that you have to hit Gohma in the eye while it's red with some sort of projectile, and while she's stunned, hit her with a powerful "A" lunge. Repeat a few times.

It felt rewarding having to figure that out on my own. It's a philosophy I'm going to carry throughout my playthrough.

After that, I heard the legends or whatever. Got the green stone from the Deku Tree, and made my way to Hyrule Castle. Trying to get into that place was pretty fun -- I messed up a few times, but it's all, again, trial and error. The part where you have to enter the castle at a specific time of day to avoid the patrols was interesting, and felt reminiscent of Shadow Moses Island-levels of sneaking. Nice throwback, there.

After that, we met "Zelda" (I don't think it's her, for some reason. Maybe she's just young, and the "adult" Zelda I'm thinking of will appear later.) Ganondorf was introduced (the man looks so cool), but I was confused. I thought his name was simply Ganon? Or was that he predecessor in the continuity?

I left the game off where Zelda's bodyguard told me to head to Death Mountain or whatever it's called. Seemed like a good place to end. I don't know when or where I'll get Epona, but I hope it's soon.

In conclusion, I know I've already said this, but I enjoy myself more and more with each play session. I'm trying not to rush it (only an hour or so a day), and it's only enticing me more and more. I highly recommend doing this sort of thing from now on.

There's so much content in Warframe but I haven't even beat the 3rd quest...

"Things aren't a problem if they don't directly effect me."

False. I care more about things that don't affect me than you do.

You agree with Loaf.

Just take that in.

What's in the Zelda Collector's Edition?

On topic: don't kill yourself.

The story was shit, the side missions were stupid, the Batmobile was forced on us, the tank battles were tedious, and the puzzles were pointless filler.  Seriously. Batman has a disease that is turning him into the Joker, and has already turned 4 other people into the Joker (even though they were going to be dead in 24 hours when we first learned about it in Arkham City, and thousands had been infected according to Barbara Gordon back then).  And there was no cure.  Because Mr Freeze couldn't make any more.  But let's forget all that.  The entire game is Batman being the world's greatest detective and tracking down hostages and rescuing them.  Fun times had by all.  But then when we get to the climax of the story, after he learns that Jason Todd was tortured in Arkham Asylum by the Joker and joined forces with Scarecrow, who was thought to be killed in Arkham Asylum, Batman obviously goes and rescues Robin and Gordon at Arkham Asylum, right?  No. He surrenders and allows himself to be captured and unmasked in front of a live broadcast.  But then again, he's going to die of the Joker disease anyway, because he just found out there was no cure.  Except it turns out the cure the entire time was getting shot up with Scarecrow's toxin and hallucinating himself punching the Joker in the face a bunch of times.  But then, he's still captured, and the Scarecrow will undoubtedly kill him now anyway, right?  No,  because the main villain of the story, who had been itching to kill Batman for not rescuing him after a year of getting tortured by Joker, forgives him after he apologized during the stupidest boss fight ever.  And then Jim Gordon knocks out Scarecrow in one punch and Batman kills himself.  That's some top flight story-telling there, Rocksteady.

To be fair, I feel like you could dumb-down any plot from any game like this.

The plot was nowhere near acceptable, though.

I'm trying to play an hour or so a day, but I spent yesterday rearranging my room so I can play Smash Bros. with my friends better, so it was worth it. I'll probably make a "Gaming Setup" thread with the deets.

Anyways...

After a few ill-fated tries at figuring out the puzzles, I made it past the opening in the floor area. Everytime I play the game, I garner more and more enjoyment out of my time. Link's controls are just brilliant. And the subtle difference between holding UP on the joystick while pressing A or just pressing A behind a cube is amazing. Little details like that just make my day.

I got "stuck" (used lightly because it only took my 5~ minutes to figure out) at two parts: the beginning, where you had to use a stick, light it on fire, then burn away the spider webs, and the area just above that, where you need to do the same thing, only you have to swing the stick to hit the webs below you. Couldn't figure out how to swing, lol.

Any who, fell down the whole, defeated those enemies that hide in the ground (don't remember what they're called, but they had the "2-3-1" combination), and made my way through the corridor. Met up with Gohma(?). I tried to defeat her (twice), but I got stuck and figured that would be a good place to finish today. I know I have to do something with her eye, but sword slashes do nothing and I ran out of those walnut things. I'll have to figure it out when I play again.

In conclusion, I'm really enjoying myself. I wish I could play more this week, but I don't think I'll be able to continue until at least Saturday. Depends.
