Just got down with a nostalgia trip on Lineage 2: Revolution, but dear god is it P2W.

I am a fan of original GOW so I was excited for GOW4 making a return to PC therefore I bought ultimate edition which costed me 90$ and man that was a big mistake, although the game itself is really good and optimized on PC it doesn't offer anything worth those extra 30 bucks, it's a total waste. You don't even get premium multiplayer skins/characters of your choice, you just get some extra loot boxes and you just have to gamble when you open them, they guarantee some rare items but then you can end up with a character that you don't want to use in multiplayer or a weapon that you don't like, it's not your choice.

You get 2 - 3 extra multiplayer maps and that's pretty much it, after that it's a grind to get the items you want and even then you cannot buy them straight from shop, you have to buy those useless loot boxes and gamble again then it's pure luck if you get your desired item or not and the prices of those boxes are outrageous. You can also buy those boxes using real money of course but even then it's a gamble....

That game made me realize that loot boxes and micro transactions are just cancer for the whole gaming industry.
