Preach!Whining about MTX (posting dick-sucking gifs) is just as embarrassing as moaning about the cost of a large popcorn at the movies: that fight is long over and you can just walk right by the concession stand to enjoy your flick. Or go on a forum and posture about being so principled that you wont even bother with a game that has MTX regardless of how it is implemented into the finished product. Both equally fine and noble actions.
. . .also an 18 for MTX?! They really take that shit seriously I guess.
What mtx?Hope their stupid fucking MTX are worth the loss of all the sales they're going to endure.
This is a nail in the coffin of this stupid game. The gameplay is dull and looks extremely repetitive.
Mate.ugh Jesus. In-game purchases and future possible expansions are not in the same bucket. Also stop changing the words, DLC can also be classified as mtx or as expansion. We'll see when it launches.
While that was definitely immature, I do think people have a right to voice their complaints. I've seen what apathy does. It is smart to reserve one's energy and walk away when needed, but I do think monetization in gaming needs to be challenged. Some of these things DO affect gameplay. There are obviously some games that don't abuse some of these things, but a full expansion from The Witcher 3 is not the same thing as what EA is doing with the Sims 4 or games that implement DLC packs for fighting games.Whining about MTX (posting dick-sucking gifs) is just as embarrassing as moaning about the cost of a large popcorn at the movies: that fight is long over and you can just walk right by the concession stand to enjoy your flick.

Mate.
With PEGI mtx and dlc and expansions are the same shit, as long as you pay for it then its an in game purchase.
Will it have actual mtx? I dont know.
What I do know is that its going to be getting a prequel expansion, which was my point, you are immediately going to mtx purely on conjecture......im saying they have already announced a prequel DLC chapter so PEGI has to put the in game purchases rating even if the game has no other mtx.
You may choose any one of the following:MTX are never a good thing. They were not a good thing in Tales nor in any other singleplayer triple a priced game. Defending MTX is an idiot's adventure, that which I do not respect.
If only one could buy liquor in games and not have to get up and go to the store... That's all i ask for their metaversehttps://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/forspoken-has-received-a-pegi-18-rating-in-europe/
Forspoken, the upcoming game from Square Enix has been rated in Europe by PEGI, and has received an 18 rating.
According to the rating board, this is due to the “use of strong language (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms,” as well as violence, both realistic and in the fantasy setting.
The use of alcohol and the inclusion of in-game purchases are also cited as reasons for the rating. “The player’s character can order alcoholic drinks at a bar. The drinks affect the player’s statistics, but do so in a random manner with negative outcomes possible,” claims the PEGI website.
According to PEGI, “the game also includes scenes of realistic violence, including a woman being set upon by a group of thugs who punch and kick her and hold a gun to her head. There is also violence against fantasy characters, who are knocked backwards by attacks and bleed yellow blood.”
The rating board also highlights that at one point in the game, it appears that the main character plans to drunkenly take her own life, before being saved by a mysterious entity.
Announced in June 2020, Forspoken is the debut game from Square’s Luminous Productions studio. It will reportedly be a PlayStation console exclusive for two years.
The lead character Frey is portrayed by English actress Ella Balinska, who is known for starring in 2019 film Charlie’s Angels.
Following a delay, the game will now release on October 11, 2022.
In VGC’s recent preview, we said that Forspoken had the chance to be a “PS5 showpiece”.
“Coming from the team behind Final Fantasy XV, which revolutionised Final Fantasy combat, by making it actually fun to play is a great sign. The various abilities that have been teased in the footage seem to point to a game with a lot of variety, but how much of that will make into the final experience is yet to be seen.”
uh? It also releases on PC day 1.Another $70 PlayStation exclusive having microtransactions...damn you Game Pass
Then we have to fight it. Making this as normal thing, would encourage the devs to put more intrusive mtx.This boat has sailed a long time ago. MTX have been present on SP games for more than five years now.
People always do.While there may be a micro-transactions in the game (who knows), but if there aren't, the above-mentioned "in-game purchases" would still be there because there is a Deluxe Edition upgrade, which is counted as an in-game purchase.
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart (a game with 0 micro-transactions) also had that in the rating.
I feel many are just jumping the gun.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAs long as it's optional is not a problem at all

Do you think they havent started working on the expansion?PEGI does not give ratings based on nothing or maybe's or rumors lmfao unless that expansion already exists or it's finished which I highly doubt.
Loser.
It's thanks to people like you that gaming fucking sucks nowadays.

I don’t understand why people are overreacting over this… MTX has been part of AAA for years now.While there may be micro-transactions in the game (who knows), but even if there aren't, the above-mentioned "in-game purchases" would still be there because there is a Deluxe Edition upgrade, which is counted as an in-game purchase.

EA case must have caused this rating change.Wait so the inclusion of micro transactions is listed as one of the reasons for the age rating? Has that ever been done before?
It's still not defendable. You might see it as optional and not needed, but there will always be a part of the game that has been designed with these micro transactions in mind, it's made for that purpose, to frustrate the player and make them want to pay to progress. I agree with you on the fact that it often seems optional, I myself never paid any boosters in Assassin's Creed or whatever, but you can still imagine that if these micro transactions didn't exist, some stuff in the game might have been different, like less grind etc.Fuck off. As long as it's optional is not a problem at all. Arise has it and it's not needed at all, unless you're lazy. MTX is for lazy people. Now stop acting like a dick.
Loser.

Ever since the new PEGI policies alot more things are listed and counted into the PEGI rating any games that may have in game purchases has to disclose it.Wait so the inclusion of micro transactions is listed as one of the reasons for the age rating? Has that ever been done before?
As long as the MTX's don't largely impact the SP then it's fineHope their stupid fucking MTX are worth the loss of all the sales they're going to endure.

And people enjoyed Tales of Arise just fine so I agree. I wonder if they're more cosmetic related since she has nail attacksFuck off. As long as it's optional is not a problem at all. Arise has it and it's not needed at all, unless you're lazy. MTX is for lazy people. Now stop acting like a dick.

The rating boards consider DLC to be in-game purchases as well. It could even be single-player DLC that expands the original story. There is no distinctionMicrotransactions here we go!
Given the current climate of most games being glorified slot machines, there really should be a distinction on the rating boards.The rating boards consider DLC to be in-game purchases as well. It could even be single-player DLC that expands the original story. There is no distinction
I agree. This is how game companies get away with not being truthful and the rating boards are not doing their job of informing consumersGiven the current climate of most games being glorified slot machines, there really should be a distinction on the rating boards.

Do you think they havent started working on the expansion?
It due to drop by the end of the year.
Chances are the voice work and mocap is already done.
And yes they do if the studio even theorizes they might have DLC they disclose that to PEGI.
Rift Apart simply having deluxe edition suits(and shit) that may or may not ever be actually purchasable separately qualified it as having in game purchases.
Honestly im not even sure what you are arguing?
You read in game purchases and immediately jumped to mtx....you further express that ALL mtx are bad yet expansions in a game like Square did with Final Fantasy XV doesnt count as mtx so thats fine.
I asked you to quantify when a micro transaction becomes just a transaction cuz the FFXV chapters were like 5 bucks each....id call that a microtransaction so do those expansions fall into the ALL mtx suck category or can they fall into DLC expansions are okay cuz its literally semantics and you sound really unhinged.
Wait... you're a gold GAF member, hating on the concept of about paying for additional digital benefits?
Okay so it looks like they changed it just last year to make a distinction between in-game purchases vs. includes paid random items. The PEGI listing for Forspoken does say in-game purchases and does not include paid random items. https://pegi.info/search-pegi?q=forspokenLootboxes(slot machines) have their own thing within PEGI.
Bullcrap.You may choose any one of the following:
There are no other realistic options.
- $100 AAA games
- Extinction of AAA games
- Microtransactions in AAA games

No skin of my back.Nah, I don't feel like going in circles with someone who doesnt know the difference between microtransactions and expansions, worse defending them. I've been warned not to call out people but you can figure out what I think you are. Blocking you. Cheers.
Isnt this you?Welp, won't be buying now. Don't support MXT in any form.
So you dont support paid additional content except in games where you pay for the additional content in the "GOTY edition"?Waiting for Xpack + GOTY version.
