Yeah, the Microtransactions/Loot Crate part has me slightly worried but I rarely buy games on release so I'll know well in advance if it will actually be a big deal or not. It would be a shame if such a cool series got hamstrung by an iffy publisher doing iffy publisher things :(
Having completely ignored any media coverage leading into the game and now having 20+ hours in it, it was at least 5 hours before I even noticed the Loot Crates existed. I mean, I'd seen the "market" button in the menu and figured it was something along those lines, but never bothered to click it and it never mattered.

Eventually it tells you about it, and after looking around and buying a bit (with the in game currency options only), it's just a pay to win in a single player game, completely irrelevant if you ignore it.
That's good to know.

I know there are gamers who will not touch the game on principal alone but I'm happy enough with that.
