The game, or should I say the business model, is an absolute disappointment and disaster. Disrespectful.

You know you can get plenty of cosmetics for free just for playing the game (without the battle pass even) right? You do not need to buy the $15 skin packs to enjoy the game. Nor is anyone forcing you to buy them.

My character is pretty heavily customized and I haven't spent a dime on the game.

Man, I can’t even choose the exact colours I want on my spartan. Come on

[–] potato@lemmy.basedcount.com -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They made all of the base colors available by default though. Have you played the game anytime recently?

[–] Gorgeous_Sloth@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay ? We used to have all the colours available and we could unlock all armour parts just by playing the game. Screw them and screw their use of toxic mechanics (mofo, etc…)

You can unlock the first 20 levels of the season for free. Just for playing. Sorry, I forgot I was on Lemmy where you have to shit on Xbox even if it's not true and completely retarded.

As long as you enjoy it mate, that’s all that matters in the end. My thoughts on the game has nothing to do with Lemmy or the fact you’re on Xbox, I couldn’t care less. Just remember back then everything was free and actually fun to unlock. If you don’t see the problem here or the massive toxicity towards players, well good for you I guess. But don’t hide your denial behind "it’s lemmy here so u shit on xbox".

Last time I played, I only got like 5 colors for 100% the game lol

[–] potato@lemmy.basedcount.com 0 points 1 year ago

You haven't played recently then. Also, "I have to unlock things by playing?!?!? IN A VIDEO GAME?!?!?" Lmao.
