Microtransactions can be good. (Destiny)

by CyberKN , Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Wednesday, July 22, 2015, 17:28 (3511 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

From what you described, it does sound like a grind. Sorry, but in no way are microtransactions good for the game or for players.

I think you might want to defer to someone who actually played the game ;)

I'll defer to cyber then who confirms my suspicions.

How about the several posts from various people in this thread saying ME3 multiplayer was fantastic?

I'll say this: if ME3 was available on PS4, I'd be playing it instead of Destiny right now. The multiplayer was phenomenal.

Cruel, nobody's saying ME3's multiplayer wasn't good, or great, or fantastic even. But the reward system blew chunks, because the devs wanted to incentivise players to spend money on extra resupply packs.
