Is every RPG where you buy something with gold 'riddled with microtransactions'?

Re: KOTAKU : NBA 2K18 is Riddled With Microtransactions

I just really hope that 2K feels a little bit of pressure and people really hold their feet to the fire. It's not going to change, they've already made, and are making, too much money to change how the system works. The amount of people that have spent at least $100 on VC up to this point is absolutely ridiculous. I miss MyCareer being a fun single player mode where you could make your way up through the NBA ranks and become one of the greatest of all time. Now it's just a frustrating grind where you can barely even customize your character, forget about getting your attributes up, without feeling the need to drop some extra cash. Add in that annoying, corny story they've added once again and I've decided to not even touch it this year. It's a shame cause the gameplay is incredible, but I just can't help but feel like I'm adding to the problem by even giving them my $60 in the first place. 2K has crossed the line this year.

This game is far from being an rpg and even then, micro transactions arent forced down the customers throats when its a full price game.

I still don't understand this VC complaint. I just don't get it. U don't need to pay for it at all. It does not affect me one bit. It's like people see others that paid for VC and are mad about it. If u plan on playing 2K a lot u will accumulate so much free VC u won't be able to spend it all. The game ain't even been out a week yet wtf. Hell just play everything offline if VC bother u so much lol

Re: KOTAKU : NBA 2K18 is Riddled With Microtransactions

The only problem I have with the microtransactions is that the amount that you earn from playing each game seems to be lower this year. So you have to play a lot more to be able to get any type of progression than previous years.

I get it that it's teaching people that you are literally buying stuff with the money you earn from the game and you have to grind for it just like you do in real life. I just wish the output from the games you play was more to help with the grind.

I spent the money for the game and $10 bucks in VC. I don't really plan on spending any more than that and just grind so I don't feel like I'm just throwing money away.

Speaking as an RPG gamer since Chrono Trigger:

Is the gold bought with real-world money?
