I agree. It just tickles me when people get up in arms about it. It’s their right to spend whatever on whatever, and it’s our right to judge you for it haha.

@TheBeefInjecter is always trying to say people are crying and put people down rather than actually having a discourse. He also really likes saying people want participation trophies. It’s pretty funny hearing fanboys defend corporate greed that goes beyond the likes of even EA and ACTIVISION. I personally wasn’t too happy about the price of Gears 4 season’s pass which was $50.00, but I bought it anyway and when was said and done it was still a bit pricey. However, at least you got 24 maps, 60 cards and like 20 packs,
Now, for that same $50.00 price tag you can buy 5 Characters that used to be FREE in every other Gears game and about 5 weapon skins! THAT IS INSANE MONEY GRUBBING RIGHT THERE.

Judge people on them being able to spend thousands without sleeping less about it. Hmm, I don’t really judge people on their decisions
I can agree with that. I prefer getting free maps and more special events for multiplayer modes longer. But I would like the game to have more meat in it to start if that is the case. 7 maps at the start of Gears 5, only Marcus from the original squad, and minimal rewards once the tour is done means far too small an experience for a AAA launch to me. GoW4 you got 2 maps a month on top the starting 10, had a pool of around 40 characters and plenty of weapon skins that could all be unlocked through play at the start, and you received the benefit of continued content from the mtx aspect.

It’s been established that the dude just goes around trolling. Only thing is, most people in the forums have yet to realize it so they take the bait and engage. Honestly people should just ignore his posts and move on.
Still, it does make for some entertainment at times.

Sure you do, everyone does, as is their right. If you really can spend thousands without worrying about it then you should feel secure in that knowledge and not have to worry about people judging you about it my dude.

Yeah, for real. Just ignore those negative insult tossers. It’s not worth the endless back n forth. You can make 50 valid points and they’ll just keep coming back with empty insults/comparisons instead of addressing valid points/arguments.

Oh, there is some positive things around. Store is working, commercials are working. What more do you want?
I’m not full of it. I just have more than half a brain and a different opinion. I’ve already explained why buying map packs is much worse than buying optional cosmetics, so scroll up and read my guy.
Wait it’s eight dollars??
For a skin?
That’s freaking 13% of the price of the game itself.
For a skin.

Yes! gotta love those commercials! Now, if I could only spend 25 plus dollars on Characters that used to be FREE in every other Gears games… OH WAIT!

Don’t get mad Just because you don’t have any counter points to what I say. I said you want a participation trophy once you’re still going on about that? I must have really touched a nerve with you I guess truth hurts lol.
Can’t say it goes beyond the likes of ea and activision when they had micro transactions that are paid to win. What in gears is pay to win? Nothing you are just being lazy
You paid $50 for maps you got free a week later, 60 cards and packs that amounted to bounties your don’t care about, horde cards you don’t use, and if you were lucky a day I’d the dead or color blast character. Congratulations
You paid money for characters that were free in other games in gears 3 and 4 so you’re making 0 sense. You gotta make coherent arguments lol
Both systems have its pros and cons tbh, depending on who you ask, but I get what you mean about the map packs.
Crazy right. It’s literally over a 1,000% mark up from past Gears games. Nobody in here could name one other product that could pull off a 1,000 plus % mark up from their last product to their next product. To see that there’s a very minimal group of peeps defending it is just as nutty.
Lets do one example just for fun: What if Toyota released a Corolla at 1,000% mark up, that would make it over a million dollars, you think people would be happy? Heck no. That’s because that would be crazy! It’s no different just because a video game is cheaper than a car, the principle remains the same. They want people to pay a 1,000% mark up on these in game items.

Well the markup example isn’t really a 1:1, but I get your point.
What I’d compare it to instead is Street Fighter V, a game that, like Gears, is being billed as a live service with constant updates. In August they released three new characters-- so not skins, but fully playable unique characters built from the ground up with entirely unique animations and everything. Those were $5.99 each. If you want new skins for characters, those are typically $4, And all new characters, stages and music, as well as most all skins, are earnable in-game through acquired fight money. Rarely is something purchasable-only.
By that direct comparison within the same industry, yeah, Gears is incredibly overpriced.

The whole game is a mess and TC knows it. I think they’re trying to rake in all the cash they can before we finally give up on them.
We’ve been hanging on, in hopes of them redeeming themselves somehow, but that hope is dwindling.
I don’t know why TC don’t make the price point around $2-$5 for skins and characters, many more would bite around that, anything more it falls into WTH HOW MUCH!?
