All valid points. Really the game has been going downhill for a long time, and it has gotten massively worse since Bungie split from Activision. Now they are trying to monetize everything possible while increasing prices. Taking away ability to get things in game and moving them into paid for categories. This new expansion is sadly going to be very small so it is unfortunate to see the hype on it, and unfortunate sticker price too. Should be $10-15 and no more. Instead it is $35, or $60 if we want battle passes for the rest of the year included.

It's hard to get excited when you know it's just hype...

[quote]Even tho i wrote all of this ill probably still get shadowkeep cause im a degenerate[/quote] This just rendered your whole rant meaningless.

[quote]The devs have been making so many poor choices for so long and then "fixing them". Im eating their shit like a fanboy and i really dont think they deserve it. 1. The shit they sell is overpriced. A fullgame tag for 1 expansion is not sane 2. Making rly shitty mechanics like the mountaintop quest is kind of sad for a developer of their caliber. Shouldnt it have been tested beforehand ? And this upcoming nerf is also -blam!-. They said "we are listening to feedback as to how to nerf the quest". listening to feedback my ass. It was pretty obvious the double kills were the main cancerous part of the whole quest and yet you still need more of them than the medals ? 3. This new battlepass system is a joke. Why am i getting rescources as a levelup reward ??? 0 effort put into it and theyre making it sound like theyre giving us something extra for "free". If they had given us a bunch of emblems and shaders and maybe emotes from it i would have no issues with it, but in its current state its just really really sad. 4. D2 is literally a worse version of D1 in many aspects. But especially the armour, and i hate it. Even tho i wrote all of this ill probably still get shadowkeep cause im a degenerate[/quote] 1. There’s a thing called capitalism, you could just not buy it. You are a freely functioning adult and have that choice. But many people get their money’s worth. I’ve spent $60 and got over 1.5k hours of value off of D2. You are delusional if you think that’s bad value. You’d have to spend MUCH more money to get that amount of hours out of other games. It’s not a full game tag either. It’s $35. That’s a little over half the price of the average game. And you’ll probably get about as many hours as you would out of a full game purchase provided shadowkeep is as grand as forsaken. 3. The battle pass system is LITERALLY free. It comes with the DLC. Why the hell are you complaining about something you will get if you’re keeping up with content anyway? If it wasn’t free I would be on your side, and if it ever ISN’T included with the DLC and is another purchase you have to make I would drop the game in 10 seconds flat. 4. That’s subjective. If you like D1 so much you could go play it. But you’ll quickly realize why D2 is superior in more ways than you’re giving it credit for. D1 feels sluggish. And was also left in a horrible state. So have fun with that.

They can’t sell you shit if they don’t pretend to care

I wouldnt spend anymore money on this game. None of the income they get goes to fix whats broken.

I'm not getting shadowkeep now that they introduced a battle pass

I'm getting less excited for shadowkeep with every directors cut I read from Smitty. They are long, boring, and without a lot of substance.... hopefully unlike the new expansion

I'm with this. I get less excited with every one of these directors cuts or reveal streams. One thing I know is that something if not all of this expansion will be majorly botched.

1. Shadowkeep is $35. A full game price is $60. 2. They reduced the requirements pretty heavily. The gun is still a pinnacle weapon and one of the best guns in the games, so obviously it’ll be a little challenging 3. We literally saw 10 out of the 100 levels in the annual pass, which by the way in those 10 included a weapon, armor, and an exotic engram. 4. Not even close but whatever

1. 30 bucks is hardly a full price game. 2. They cut the requirements pretty STEEPLY. What did you expect? For them to just remove the doubke-kill requirement? If I could get mountaintop in its original quest, you can definitely get it after this change. I mean, should they just decide to put in everyone's postmaster when they log on I guess? 3. Emblems and shaders! How exciting! I know that's what I want when I play the game, forget weapons and armor, those cosmetic things are where it's at! 4. Subjective opinion but ok, you get to have one like the rest of us.

Writing a blog post equivalent of a forum post, then stating that you are a degenerate by paying money to the company that does the thing does not redeem you for the latter.
