Nothing he says reassures anything, I don't care that the game was balanced without microtransactions in mind, I know WB the moment the game is out will flip a switch and change all that, just like they did with Mortal Kombat X --- https://i.imgur.com/SiKIsHD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V62ygzP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M0MRS6S.gifv https://i.imgur.com/Lc56ify.jpg <cite>ZombiePelican posted [p:887406138] in Monolith t...

ChromaticAngel 09/27/17 6:00:28 PM #3:	WB seriously needs to stop with this fucking shit. It's like they took all the worst ideas from MGO and GTAO and added them together in SOW and made them even worse than that and then also mixed it with the single player. Their handling of Injustice 2 DLC is a little pricey but it's just cosmetics and the loot boxes can't be obtained with real money. This is like the exact opposite. It's so sad after Shadow of Mordor was such a great game with tons of free content patches. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:887406351] in Monolith t...
