I think that should be the biggest indicator to anyone that the microtransactions have gone too far, that it's brought two natural enemies together with the power of shared contempt for the money grubbing, manipulative scumwads.Canadamus Prime said:I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be rooting for the government to legislate video games either.

Give it time; he will. He has a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-standing axe to grind with the CoD franchise.darkrage6 said:Surprised he hasn't tackled COD WW2 yet, personally I liked the campaign in this game well enough that i'm eagerly waiting for the story DLC, but I never touched the MP and never will. Also i'm with Yahtzee on wanting the government to start regulating gambling in video games, it's really getting out of hand.
You can in fact kill Ewoks in the real Battlefront 2, if you play as the Empire on the Endor map. However, it's extremely irritating, since they have three different attacks that all stagger you, and one of which is an instant kill. And they respawn infinitely, and killing them doesn't count against the enemy reinforcements, and thus doesn't actually help you win the game. It makes it really tough to win on Endor.Darth_Payn said:Shame about not killing Ewoks in this game, because I have fond memories of doing that in the RTS Empire at War. First, launch a TIE Bomber run on their wimpy little treehouses, then send in Scout Troopers on their bikes to drop bombs and ride away, then finish them off with AT-STs, an AT-AT, Stormtroopers, and Darth Fucking Vader. I don't remember killing Ewoks in the older Battlefront II, the first one with a single-player campaign. In that one, you were the 501st Legion, the best of the best Clonetroopers, then Stormtroopers. Ah, what fond memories.

These are interesting times, aren't they?Canadamus Prime said:I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be rooting for the government to legislate video games either.
I never really had a problem with microtransactions when they were just in Free-to-Play games as long as it wasn't a Pay-to-Win scenario. What I despair now is, like I mentioned in another thread, nothing is ever unlocked in-game by completing challenges anymore. It's all DLC or microtransactions. ...or both. Or these horrid lootboxes. Microtransactions have no place in a game that you already have to plunk down $60+ for. $80+ for us Canadians.RJ Dalton said:To that, I respond "Osama Bin Laden."Canadamus Prime said:"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Seriously, though, it's glad to see that people are finally not defending the microtransactions anymore. I've been against them since before even Jim Sterling started going on about the subject. Or at least since before I knew Jim Sterling was going on about it. I don't actually know for certain when he started.
I don't know if "interesting" is the word I would use.Infernai said:These are interesting times, aren't they?Canadamus Prime said:I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be rooting for the government to legislate video games either.
Before you get all excited- after that he gives the TIE Fighter an even more vague 'wings' title that shows he's clearly not bothering. He probably put that in there specifically to put bees in the bonnets of the people who care about it too much.erttheking said:Nah, I won't harp on him for it.

Not sure about the first one, but I'm willing to bet the answer to 2 is an A Wing.Hawki said:Two questions:
1) What is a three letter swear word anyway?
2) So if an X Wing and a Y Wing love each other very much...
