Nah, I enjoy getting a game and actually have a full game.
"you can massively upgrade your rope by buying gems", i've already explained why I don't like this, I won't do it again.
I understand why you would think that, many people throw this word around willy nilly without actually using it properly, I would be guilty of being stubborn if I didn't know what I was talking about, or if I was outright just telling lies, refusing to adapt because i'm scared of change, or have some unjustifiable reason to avoid this game, but there is truth to what i've said and there is nothing stubborn about that whatsoever.
The problem is, most people won't even think about it however, at first glance, you have a nice little tribute to Worms Roping, I watch the video, yeah it looks alright... But then you have a leaderboard, this introduces the competitive aspect, and we all know what humans are like when it comes to this, everybody wants to be the best... So in order to have their name at the top etc they are gonna spend their money to get the fastest, strongest, best rope ASAP, so they can have a little bit of glory and feel like they achieved something "Look at me, i'm #1!"... That is the trap, that is the psychological manipulation I f@#!ing hate, and I hate it SO much because life is not fair, people from all over the world, they are different, some born rich, some born poor, it's not equal...
Roping has been around for over 20 years, I personally see it as an insult to roping.
And furthermore, if you actually research how to make games, even more so, how to make money from games, you will start finding out how all games apply these bullshit techniques simply because people are f@#!ing dumb and can't help themselves fall to these techniques, they are easily addicted.
And generally in life, I don't like when smart people, take advantage of dumb people.
OMG j0e, "he deserves our money", jesus f@#!ing christ... Have some dignity...
By the way, it wouldn't surprise me if the author of this game, didn't even realize it, they just added microtransactions because it's the current trend, and has no f@#!ing idea about the psychological manipulation involved, but, he might lol.
This is why you have so many trash f@#!ing games, and why games don't last very long, instead of making a game addictive because it's unique, original and simply fun(you pay for the game, and that's it), they make it fun and addictive with things like the skinner box technique, microtransactions, making it "free" but pay2win so they con people out of money, etc...
It's actually sad more people don't fight against this type of thing
But unfortunately most of the human race are like "OOOOH LOOK AT THE SHINY SHINY!!!!"
Kinda why I have enjoyed Worms Armageddon for 20 years in about a month or so now and still continue to enjoy it, once you buy the game you have access to everything, no bullshit.
