Video Games All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II - Page 261

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

The imbeciles paying for Ultimate Team are the problems. Same ones spending TENS OF THOUSANDS on mobile games.

I remember playing rise of empires and there were players that had spent 100k plus on their castle

:-) Like 100K in real money? Or 100K in game money? If it’s the first then that is just mind blowing and a testament to the “A fool and his money will soon be parted”.

I bet he’s referring to IRL money. They call people who spend big on microtransactions “whales”.

FIFA's UT mode in '22 made more money than all of Elden Ring's sales combined...

Real money and I wish I was exaggerating

Yes. Looking at all the things they had totaled up estimated over 100k :-)

Yep. Pretty sure most Mobile games and some PC/Console games are designed deliberately to attract whales.

I've played the ultimate team a couple of times but never spent extra money on it.

I even passed on the "congratulations on reaching max level, give us $20 to receive your reward"

and they even banned players for playing the game too much. They said it wasn't fair for other players to grind too much to field a good roster. But spending money was fair!
