I don’t get the skill arguement. Unlocking perks etc doesn’t take skill, it takes man hours. Why would me getting killed by someone who had paid for perks be any different to me being killed by someone who grinded for the perks ? It’s the perks themselves which take away skill, not the method with which you unlock them.

As others have said, 100s of hours vs money makes the difference.

Loot boxes are fine, if they are obtainable through gameplay and money but offer no gameplay advantage.

I've played a decent amount on battlefront and the difference made by levelling up your cards etc is noticeable imo, from gameplay mechanics/weapon perks to general efficiency.

If you get a purple card which is the highest I think, it can increase damage output up by 40% on some things! I haven't even upgraded a card yet, let alone get a purple one.

EA have taken all microtransactions out of the game as an emergency measure. They'll return once the backlash subsides obviously and they think they can get away with it, but for now great news for gamers as they've set the maximum level of BS these companies can get away with.

Is getting COD worth it for the campaign? Absolutely terrible at it online.

Cheers, Ijj.

Will probably pick it up after work.

Is there a Very Easy? Don't fancy launching my controller out the window on a Friday.

Also we need to sort that overdue Fifa 18 game!

It will happen one day mate. I don't have much time for gaming really despite buying all the new games like an idiot so playing online with people rarely happens as when I do play i'm doing story modes and such.

Can't remember if there's a very easy type mode on COD. Think i'm playing on 'Recruit' which is the easiest...and I still struggle a bit!

Great result away from home that.

On Overwatch - Moira was just released and it seems like, despite being Irish, she won't be completely useless.

I had a go of it at my mates last week, on a console (so much worse than keyboard/mouse).

Smashed D-Day on Veteran. I am my own hero

It was good craic. The only irritating bit are the unavoidable cut scenes where you have to press random buttons to do something.

Apparently Disney got involved and phoned EA CEO, next thing they drop the microtransactions, great victory for gamers this and a massive slap in the face for EA.
