@Magusbear Agreed. It's really sad that the whole 'Pay Us to Look Cool™' thing has become the standard over the last few years.
Call me old fashioned, but I would vastly prefer the older model of selling full-priced DLC expansions every year or two. At least then it didn't feel like development time was wasted on feeding a cash shop.
@Magusbear No, it's the 'standard' cash shop that's in every game now - overpriced cosmetic bundles.
Super disappointed by it. I get that it's just cosmetic, but it feels really scummy to have purchasable cosmetics in a $70 game. Just makes me feel as though that content got ripped out of the base game to be sold.
@SevenSwell EU4's modding scene vastly improves the game, with a variety of total overhauls available. Same goes for most Paradox games actually - the modding scene is usually well taken care of.
But I'd be lying to myself if I said anything other then Skyrim AE.
I think the live service aspect is a bit played up though. You can play the game almost entirely solo, and it seems as though the 'peristent world' is more of a mirage than anything else.
Not a big fan of a BP and cash shop in a $70 game though, which is why I haven't purchased.
@hyper @Dasnap MTX is currently limited to cosmetic only and future battle passes.
It's blizzard though, so expect that to change with time.
