Nah, its just if you don't like how the new trilogy is going then thats alright, you can openly say so because of course. But no need to belittle and compare those who do enjoy it to pavlovian dogs and all that other crap about automatically not caring about the power of stories and myths and whatnot, you know? It would have been perfectly fine if he just left out that last paragraph but he just had to go the extra mile and be a dick.
@legamurfacexd: Oh so who are you? Jedi Jesus or George Lucas or something that your word is law like this and you can just insult anyone who dared enjoy a movie you don't like?
Let me give you some reality checks here; You are nothing, dude. Just some nobody armchair crusader who deluded himself into thinking he's the word of reason here and the Star Wars man who knows whats right and anything different is objectively wrong.
Sod off and cry a river somewhere else, its just a movie man and if you didn't enjoy it then you didn't enjoy it. I'm sorry that those who did enjoy it threaten your fragile self so much that you have to insult them.
@Doomerang: I don't want to put words into his mouth, but Cliffy has a pretty bad tendency to burn his bridges as he goes from one venture to the next. So I'm guessing its related to that? I'm looking for an article to back me up, but from what I've heard he didn't part ways with Microsoft all too well and had a lot of bad things to say about them. And ironically, before MS, he had a lot of bad things to say to the PC fans he's garnered and so and so.
In terms of their Lawbreakers game, I personally think its bad marketing and advertising decisions that crippled its sales. They should have been more aware of the fact that no matter how amazing or terrible the game actually is, they're releasing an online team hero shooter in a market flooded with online team hero shooters and did nothing to make it stand out except that its supposedly the most hardcore thing to ever hit the esports scene ever in, like, ever.
@Scorch_22: This is definitely just damage control so they can continue with their current monetizing efforts. They really don't care about the gamers here, especially not when there's most probably going to be that small number of players who will spend thousands per person on microtransactions anyway and that's all they need.
@AnakinSW: Even though its just cosmetics and, ugh, "optional" stuff. Its the only unlockable stuff in the game one can progress towards and huge fundamental parts from the leveling to in-game currency is one way or another centered around getting cosmetics. And whats the best way to get cosmetics? With lootboxes. And whats the best way to get lootboxes? By buying them in bulk because the ways to earn them are intentionally slow.
Starting to see the problem? Yeah I can just not buy lootboxes and ignore and play without yadda yadda but then I'm cutting off a huge part of the game which is character customization. You can't tell me you don't like it when you get a cool rare skin to equip.
@Thanatos2k: Its especially ironic when you look at Hearthstone as well. Regardless of it being a freemium game, they can't really go poke fun at EA for tucking characters behind a paywall and incorporating pay 2 win systems when that's exactly the case with one (two with HoTS?) of their own games. Not being able to do jack with the free standard decks against other players, earning gold coins taking a lot of effort and not getting much out of the challenges is all done brilliantly enough to have players reaching for their wallets to buy packs in bulk out of frustration.
And this is all besides the fact that it is Blizzard's success with lootboxes EA is chasing. So yeah, kettle calling pot black here pretty much haha.
