      Yeah. I liked Origins as a game but since playing that one, which I got for free anyway I think, I haven’t looked at the series since.

    I’ve never played Assasins Creed but why on earth would a game like that need loot boxes? That just sounds crazy to me.

      They decided to give the game a wardrobe system with loot rarity so you could get EPIC MOUNTS and RARE SWORDS.

      But there’s no point to it because the game just gives you the Chocobo mount for free and that’s the only one worth using.

    Does that really count? As far as I know, the golden keys mechanic was just a way to get some good gear. It wasn’t exclusive gear, and you could get it just by playing the game.

      Right, but the fifa series afaik makes more of its money by selling packs of cards with players in them. Packs and players that you can get by just playing. But they still sell those packs for $$, so why wouldn’t it count?

      Borderlands the same, you can buy random gear with cash. I guess it’s less fomo and less abusive, but they’re still literal loot boxes that they sell for money
