Still not buying it. I hate the pay up or grind mechanic. I don't like games that feel like a chore. I play games to have fun not to do busy work.

I've kind of heard near the end its a grind. Too bad, I really liked the first one. May still check it out.

@Pedro: So they’re like the new liberals? I always see Americans blaming everything on liberals from the triangle trade to the extinction of dodos.

@Juub1990: The funny thing that I have observed is that folks who are quick to say that group X is sensitive are the loudest and most frequent complainers.

What is with the hate with millennials? What is wrong with them?

Where to start.... when it comes to video games, they are graphics whores and have no clue about classic games, and they constantly talk about computers and tech specs. Politically they are far left liberals and white knight keyboard warriors, yet never leave their homes or internet bubbles. Generally they are entitled and lazy, and pro commercialism zombies who always go with what's popular, like hipsters.

are you a millennial?

Shame. I haven't actually read up on Shadow of War loot boxes. So this is news to me.

I pretty much didn't look up much information. Since it was something I planned on playing down the road.

Nice read Juub1990.

But I already decided to wait for GOTY Edition anyways.

What if there was no goty edition? Then what? Arkham knight certainly did not got an ultimate/goty and that game as a lot of dlc

I had this game. I really liked SOM. This game was ok but I got so bored of the repetitive grind. I have already returned the game without completing it.

The shadow wars part is the better part, some fort defences came down to the wire. Having done some online fort seiges people barely set up their forts so they're going to struggle later on.

So the game just deliberately drags itself out to get you to buy lootboxes, but you may ignore it and accept that your gameplay is hampered in order to trying to milk you of cash. In a single player game.

Fucking disgusting. Will stay far away from this piece of shit game.

So in other words the boxes are completely optional.

It's kind of pathetic that this has garnered so much angst.

No it's not, loot boxes have absolutely no place in single player games.
