Actually wasn't aware of the Amiibo's. What do they do?

You can tell who hasn't played COD Zombies when they think all of this loot box stuff is new.
Nothing new or surprising here. I won't buy them, and I'll still have fun - just like last year!
Yep.I understand folks getting upset when it comes to other games, but as far as activision is concerned...it's not going to matter. It'll just end up like this.
You're telling a company to make less money. Go ahead, have fun with that.iT'S nOt liKE tHey'RE A chARiTy tHey neEd to maKe moNeY sOMeHow

They lock code content behind $10 toys and they make so few of them the only reliable way to get them is through scalpersActually wasn't aware of the Amiibo's. What do they do?

Make Gaming Crate Again
Ok, that's it. Time to dig out my Amiga
Perfect gif.
Fucking perfect, lol
Actually I'm mocking the argument corporate mouthpieces love parroting every time this conversation comes up.
What makes less sense to me is why you're so keen on fighting the good fight for the billionaires in charge of these corporations, but what you do with your time is your own business.
Where you at apologists?
Wait so are there two separate loot boxes now in CoD WWII? The regular ones for multiplayer the last two CoDs had and now separate ones for Zombies?!
Where you at apologists?
If you've been buying this shit for multiple years then we're just embarrassed for you in retrospect.
See. You say I "fight" for billionaires while I'm just stating obvious facts. If you can't distinguish between stating facts and cheering for companies, this conversation is pointless.
Where you at apologists?
Well, I haven't been buying them, just saying that if you wanted to get outraged about this you should have been raising your voices years ago instead of now when the jaws have been locked on peoples' throats and digging in for ages.
you can pretend I said that instead if you want to get into semantics.
Fans of the Call of Duty series and the Zombies game mode say (in this very thread) that these exact lootboxes and their content have been in Zombies for a very long time now. I'm not 100% sure how true this is but I keep seeing it repeated ad nauseam.
If they've been willing to put up with it in multiple iterations there's not much you can say. Consider you're selling lootboxes to people who are willing to spend a ton of money to have a higher place on a leaderboard and not even in the main multiplayer portion of the game. It's people who aren't good at the game and don't have much time to put in to it so they pay money to ease back the variables as much as possible to get a higher score.
I mean, you literally did say precisely that.
You should do a bit of research. The zombies consumables in BO3 and IW really only help you set up faster. With the right gobblegums/fate cards, you can get set up with perks and upgraded weapons as fast as round 1/2 with a team of 4 with a coordinated loadout of GG/FCs.Fans of the Call of Duty series and the Zombies game mode say (in this very thread) that these exact lootboxes and their content have been in Zombies for a very long time now.

Ah, so it's the "it's too late; that's just how it is now" defense this time.
Goddamn... Half of Gaf is gonna need a new hobby soon at this rate. Is this really the year of the loot box or did we just not notice it as much until now?
And previously locking Modern Warfare Remaster behind the IW Legacy edition for nearly 8 months. Which itself then added loot crates.

All for a single game
Hard pass.
If there is such a thing as astroturfing still alive and well in the PR realm for videogames, now is the time for these corporations to send their employees out into the wild to blend in as being passionate people in the pro-loot box camp. No one will be the wiser (until mods check registered emails and see members are pretending to be average-gamers not tied to companies as employees ~ yes, this has happened on GAF). I'm not calling out anyone for that, I'm just saying this is the perfect time for Activision to get some GAF accounts going around telling everyone Bobby has to put food on his table and loot boxes are actually a fantastic evolution for this industry to give gamers options, save them time, and introduce them to the wonders of unregulated gambling. It's lots of fun.
I want to see an indie game where the entire gameplay concept is about loot boxes. It would be like PUBG+Hunger Games with loot boxes that can only be purchased with real $, and the best loot boxes are only available at weird times of the day/night for 5 minutes at a time. None of this earn it in game nonsense.
I find the new apology is "don't bother complaining you can't make a difference"
I'm not a regular zombies player and, having played every release day one until WWII (missing it for reasons not pertaining to loot stuff) these buffs are really easy to get and not uncommon at all.Fans of the Call of Duty series and the Zombies game mode say (in this very thread) that these exact lootboxes and their content have been in Zombies for a very long time now.
