2K has managed to cram every single micro transaction imaginable all into one game. I'm kind of impressed by how shitty it all is.

Not surprised it's 2k after all.
and the same game putting out a $30 Season pass that has less content than last year.
These boxes are (so far) confined to the Road to Glory mode, which seems to be an online version of the MyCareer mode.
Now, according to 2K...
yeah, FOR NOW. Forza 6 put in microtransactions 2 months after launch.
If not this year, then certainly next year.
2K gonna 2K
also the online servers for this game are garbage every year

This seems like it's a MyCareer for online. It actually looks pretty cool if playing online isn't shitty this year.
It will most likely be shitty.
I don't know if it affects offline at all.

They will absolutely add pay for loot boxes a few months after launch. Once all the reviews are set in stone. Just fucking wait. Scumbags.

How many boxes do I need to get through to get that trunks?
My immediate thought as well.

I wonder if Rollins can find his curb stomp as a loot drop?
Gotta keep kids addicted

That is much less worse
Not on Nintendo games.

Lmao if you think that Nintendo is not going to join the club, like they did with dlcs, paid online and all the other garbage.

That's called "testing the waters", folks.

As a man with a number of amiibo, they work with a lot of my more recent Nintendo games.
To varying degrees but the content lock is there.

Remember when 2K were the chosen ones, the rebel upstarts so good the Man had to go around backchannels to shut them down?
Between this and NBA, they're among the worst of the worst when it comes to shoving F2P level microtransactions into full-price games.

I'm surprised it took them this long to put this crap on the WWE games franchise.
Well, now it makes sense why their are releasing the Switch and PC versions the the same time with the others, later down the road they will add the "benefit" to pay for more loot boxes to progress faster.
And people, of course, will buy them all.

Name any entertainment industry that doesn't nickle and dime consumers. Where there is money greedy companies will want it.
Take2s greed knows no bounds at this point. GTA online and evolve are by far the worst gaas and I'm sure this will probably be worse.
corporations are never our friends

This should be in the OP but no one is going to read the thread and throw in their hot take. If they do add a money option that will suck.and the same game putting out a $30 Season pass that has less content than last year.

If it's an added mode then fair enough but that looks way more like MyCareer with a new subtitle, which is the main mode for the game now that Showcase is dead.

Ah, remember when we heard 2K would be getting the WWE rights and we thought the games might actually improve.
Shame because that Road to Glory idea seems neat, I just have no faith in 2K to not botch it completely.

2K has always a greedy ass company thats owned by arguably this worst company in the industryk, Take 2.

Won't be long now.

As shitty as lootboxes are at least they give me a chance to get a harder difficulty mode.
and I wonder why I'm enjoying PC, Switch and Nostalgia retro games more than half the shit we get fed these days.
This industry is turning to shit for any big AAA game it seems.
its 2K, do you seriously think they won't.....ALL their games have bullshit micro transactions.....can't wait for RDR2 to sell us singleplayer loot crates and the online to have desert cards for multiplayer cash
