[AegisScott]

Given all the glum news around AC: Unity, its nice to get a breath of fresh air! Phew.

 

[Ramenman]

BUT BUT BUT the CEO tweeted things a year ago how can it not be directly related to those empty leaked screens !!!!!!!!

Spoiler

Glad they're clarifying that at least we'll be able to discuss the actual game in future threads now

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

so... in line with that 'insider'... this is good news for Deus Ex Universive... right? /pray

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Here's hoping for some amazing multiplayer like the PC mod provided.

 

[Basketball]

BUENO

 

[MCN]

Yeah but consoles

Oh well.

 

[Kouriozan]

Thank god.

 

[Chao]

Will buy, got so many hours of gameplay out of JC2

Spoiler

and its demo

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Oh well.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Back on the train I go.

 

[Kikarian]

Is there a spare seat on the train?

 

[sn00zer]

Same size as JC2?....Daaaaaaamn

 

[Soulflarz]

Thank God
I loved JC2, I hope 3 is just as amazing.

 

[MCN]

Is there a spare seat on the train?

Just grapple on to the side, my friend.

 

[Ramenman]

You know what's sad?
That this is news-worthy these days ;_;

It's news-worthy only because "leaked screens" of unknown nature made the conspiracy juices of the internet people boil around like a hundred kettles of doom and were suddenly turned into a "guilty until proven innocent" situation.

So yeah, in that way, it's sad that they had to clarify this, because it's sad how people reacted to this in the first place. I guess some people just want to be mad, at this point.

 

[sn00zer]

Hope they have anothe pie island....pieland....god dammit I just got that pun

 

[Saroyan]

This makes me happy

 

[Angelcurio]

No multiplayer but they will support the mod community.

Now this is a huge letdown, after all the crazy things i saw on the PC side with JC2, i was expecting the same kind of multiplayer madness for us console players, even if it was some kind of free roam mode.

 

[Mesoian]

BACK ON BOARD!

 

[blurrygil]

DIS GUN BE GUUUUUUUUUUUUD!!!!

 

[Glass Shark]

Great day to make this announcement.

 

[Coffee Dog]

It won't have microtransactions, guys. Just railworks amounts of DLC like JC2.

Edit: lol, I guess JC2 had less DLC than I remembered. They still all cost $1-3 though, definitely microtransaction territory.

 

[BronsonLee]

Party time.

 

[Stimpack]

supporting a game post-launch with free or paid-for content can be good. sure, it can be bad too.

but microtransactions in a $60 retail release are pretty much always going to be bad.

Honestly, microtransactions are usually bad, regardless of price. Can't stand it when games try to milk you for hundreds or thousands of dollars. It's disgusting.

 

[Magnus]

What really differentiates micro-transactions and DLC?

The scale or scope of the content itself?

Like, are we referring to costumes, hats, cosmetics or in-game boosts as micro, and 'expansions', levels, etc as DLC?

By that metric, games like TLOU had tons and tons of micro...right? I recall being able to buy like a hundred different things for 50 cents or a couple of bucks each. I think they were costumes or skins.

Anyone?

JC2 had vehicle and weapon "DLC," and they alluded to doing the same thing in the OP.

So that's badically micro, isn't it?

 

[Shredderi]

Thank god. Now I'm mighty interested.

 

[BPoole]

Glad that was cleared up quickly. The news of micro transactions in JC3 was depressing

 

[Coffee Dog]

So that's badically micro, isn't it?

Yeah, JC2 basically had micro transactions anyway. They're lying out their ass when they say that JC3 won't have anything like it. They may have gotten rid of the "diamond" currency system or whatever, though, which may be what they're calling "microtransactions" in this context. And that would definitely be an improvement.

 

[BobLoblaw]

I don't doubt that the game will look and play amazing, but no co-op and I'm passing. Inexcusable at this point.

 

[acksman]

No Boom gif yet? come on!

 

[Orayn]

So that's badically micro, isn't it?

Depends on who you ask. Some say that "microtransactions" are necessarily generic and consumable, like boosts and in-game currency, others don't see the point in making that kind of distinction.

 

[QuantumZebra]

FUCK YEA LETS PARTY!!!

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

I don't doubt that the game will look and play amazing, but no co-op and I'm passing. Inexcusable at this point.

I don't know if I'd go that far.

While it's unfortunate that multiplayer isn't in, Just Cause is ultimately a single player series, so I don't think Avalanche should be held against it.

 

[DarkJedi24]

Never doubted you Avalanche. Now make Just Cause 3 the game we've all been waiting for.

 

[bigboss370]

 

[War Raichu]

I wouldn't consider JC2's DLC "microtransactions" at all. You pay once and that's it. Like most DLC.

 

[Neuromancer]

Thank god. I can now allow myself to be properly hyped for this game.

 

[G_Berry]

Fully back on the hype train, then.

CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Magnus]

Cool. Yeah. They're basically almost synonyms. I think the latter really does refer to larger, more significant content packs, while the former leans towards more nickel and diming.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

good

[Unain]

Remaining sceptical with how much they will put in DLC (those small packs from JC2 were sort of micro-transactions).

Still hyped though, JC2 ran amazingly well on PC for such a vast environment during its release.

 

[JNA]

I'm still a little skeptical.

I'm not worried about it being free to play, I'm worried like what 2K has done to NBA 2K14 and on. Putting microtransactions in everything even after paying the $60.

And how much dlc are we talking? Are they ALREADY putting in locked disk dlc? Is the game even 50-75% to gold yet?

Still a little worried.

 

[Sojgat]

Good. Wouldn't have touched it, if that stuff was in.

 

[Zyae]

You know what's sad?
That this is news-worthy these days ;_;

You know whats sad? The internets reaction and following assumptions based on a "leak"

 

[Snkfanatic]

Very good news but I will remain cautious.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I wouldn't consider JC2's DLC "microtransactions" at all. You pay once and that's it. Like most DLC.

Microtransactions initially described small, bite sized dlc purchases like those. The definition has changed however, to almost exclusively describe weird currency systems that encourage shadier practices.

so is everyone complaining over Nintendo's small DLC packs as well? It's same same thing.

as I said, Nintendo has done the same thing with some of their games.

 

[uncredited male]

So the mass stealth focus testing produced negative results.

We have avoided an all F2P universe for at least another year.
