Ugh. More unlocking bullshit to try to get players to keep with the game longer.
Except it's RNG, so it's worse than the ol COD4 system of leveling up.
I seriously miss when multiplayer games (shooters really) just gave you everything, and let your skill decide how well you played.
The first DICE SW Battlefront suffered from this type of shit, because everyone who got that one sniper rifle that actually shot bullets and that homing missle would destroy anyone who still hadn't unlocked it.
At least grinding would fix that in a pretty fixed amount of time.
This, you could grind and the good thing might be your last unlock. It's possible.
After playing Pokemon Sun and Moon last year, I decided I was no longer going to spend time in games rolling and rerolling until I got something.
It's why I quit Fire Emblem Heroes so soon. Felt like it was all luck, and no clever design to follow/solve.
RNG is barely game design. It's just lazy, but it triggers something in our brains that keep us fixed on completing tedious things.
I hate it.
I was really going to buy this after seeing gameplay in E3 coverage. I love Star Wars, shooters are alright with me after recovering from playing too many last gen, and it looks amazing.
However, after hearing this news, I would rather not play it only to feel that I need to play it more before I can play the way I want to play. Or worse, I don't want to feel that I'm being outgunned because someone rolled better.
I miss the old Kanye.
