I'm looking forward to it. I think there's gonna be enough fresh features to keep it interesting.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood has in-game currency that you can spend to upgrade your guns
Wolfenstein: Youngblood, a new co-op shooter from MachineGames and Arkane Studios, is coming out later this year at a budget release price. It looks like Bethesda is hoping to make up for that launch price with a range of optional microtransactions.
As well as skins and emotes, the game allows you to spend coins you find dotted around the levels to unlock weapon upgrades and attachments. However, you can skip this process entirely by purchasing gold bars with real money, which you can then use to shortcut through these upgrades.
MachineGames senior game designer Andreas Ojerfors says this is balanced in a way that it’s entirely optional, though.
“I’ve been playing through the game at work for the last two weeks and I haven’t done any microtransactions,” he told me during a roundtable interview. “You don’t really need to, but they are there if you want to, if you want to speed things up. But I never felt the need to do that. When I play the game it doesn’t even cross my mind.”
It doesn't seem mandatory as the nooks still sell tools and furniture
What concerns me is that the later part of the trailer showed the other townspeople presumably moving in. I dunno, it makes it seem as though as soon as the townspeople move in and the island becomes more settled, the idea of being on a deserted island with crafting will fall by the wayside and the game's main selling point of starting on a desert island will be undermined. That said, I do think it's cool that it goes a step further than New Leaf, which made you the mayor of an already established town, and basically makes you the founder of a new one. And some of the items seem cool too, like the pole that allows you to cross rivers without a bridge.
Everything about this game screams budget title, from the lowered retail price to the bizarre trailers, so this is just icing on the shit cake.
The only time this MTX model worked out well was with DMC5 and that game is the exception, not the norm
AC: Amiibo Festival can happen again
You can get that game complete with the two extra amiibos it comes with at Walmart for $3 right now
I noticed that some aspects of Happy Home Designer have been included, like placing furniture outside, and more precise furniture placement, so hopefully ceiling items return as well. I'd like to see the different town venues return with the ability to customize them, but that's going to be a bit much, I expect. The graphics update is huge, though. And it's going to take a while to get used to animal villagers wearing clothes with sleeves.
I'm extremely good at avoiding microtransactions so if they include it I'll never use them anyways.
A new Syndicate reboot where you #bashthefash with a #milkshake
I doubt that's the case for most things, but for certain woke companies it is. Part of the reason Wolfenstein New Colossus was hated was because they said in interviews they changed the game in the wake of Trump. They also Tweeted a bunch of antifa nonsense.
Got a source on the antifa crap? All I recall is the typical #FuckNazis shit also, did they ever confirm if MAGA directly impacted development, I thought Pete Hines and Co. just added it to the advertisements to satisfy ReeeeeeeeEra
