Modern Combat 4

They have been saying that for a long time now lol

 

That was my point lol

 

Not excited for MC4 at all now. After watching the IAP atrocities Gameloft has bestowed upon this game.....I will wait for the always inevitible $0.99 cent sale before I buy it. In the meantime I'll sit back and watch as people complain and rip gameloft a new asshole. Carry on gentlemen.

 

I think that's what I'm going to do. I will watch videos on mc4. Watch impressions and wait for sale

 

Gameloft, please, please make it do you have to rank up to earn guns. The current system is terrible, and once the game is hacked it will be unplayable.

 

Check the website, it says new info on tuesday in the comments for the release info article. So I think very soon, although i will not be getting it day one.

 

I'm still excited for this game, but I must say that it's really disappointing if you don't unlock guns through levelling up and it's all about IAP'S. Real shame. If it is like that then this game will struggle to reach 3.5 stars on the app store. I don't like the thought of it just being a heartless, soulless game that is just there to reel in money. Also, the game will be rubbish if the best player is the player who spends the most.

 

Never thought I'd say this...

Gameloft has created a vicious cycle now. See, they lose money by offering these $0.99 holiday sales on their games. So now, people just wait for those. Because of this, they put **** IAP in there stuff to make the money they should be making off the initial $6.99.

So now, they are stuck. They keep releasing crap with IAP because they keep putting their games on sale. Solution is very simple, Charge $6.99 (Hell, charge me $10.00!), and remove the IAPs. Then, never put the game on sale.

Anyway, unfortunately, because of this whole issue, I as a consumer, am being forced to start playing along with it. I was going to buy this game for full price, but as soon as I heard about the IAPs, I have now decided to wait for a sale! Gameloft, you are quite literally screwing yourselves big time!!!

Why does mobile gaming have to become like this? Unfortunately this is the truth: Freemium IS the future of mobile gaming... Makes me want to just quit. I don't mind IAPs for unlocking a full game/pro version. But consumables! Those damn "consumables"... I am done with gameloft now. I've deleted all their games from my device, and computer. I cannot keep supporting developers who won't even listen to their customers.

Please people, vote with your dollar! Say no to freemium. Keep supporting indie developers who promise to never add frickin' consumables to their games.


Alright, I'll stop now. In the meantime, I will enjoy my favorite non IAP games. Bastion, True Skate, Minecraft PE, God of Blades, and... Oh crap, those are the only ones I have.

 

If gameloft wants to be liked, they will have to do it the hard way, have no IAPs and no sales for a few games and people will eventually buy it for its price rather than wait for sales and respect them for no IAPs, they may lose money initially, but in the long run will recieve more money and respect.

 

Long as devs are keep putting IAP like this in mobile games, I will never stop playing on consoles. People say "yeah it's only a $1" but that's when the problem starts. It's not fun to play the game to just unlock everything. Basically goal in mc4 is to unlock everything. I hate it. I want to have fun not worried about "oh what if I buy this gun and it sucks and I wasted my gold coins?" I don't want to deal with those things. It just makes whoever make games really greedy and un respectful.
I think gameloft just really should make this game $1

 

The whole point of a combat fps is too level up by earning it through gameplay. That is why Mc2 had me hooked. I wanted to keep leveling up so I could attain better guns, which would give me a bit of an advantage. For those in mc2 using the golden AK, you know what I mean. Shadowgun deadzone got their IAP weapon model right, you have to earn money through Gameplay to attain weapons and the only way to earn lots of money is by playing the game and levelling up.

Anyway I'm going to wait until this game is released, if it has the IAP model where you can attain any weapon with gold from the start. I probably won't buy it right away.

My status has gone from instabuy to skeptical.

 

Yeah, I'm sorry about that post. Suffice it to say that I'm extremely peeved right now.

Edit: where's CM to tell us how good things come to those who wait, huh? Telling that she hasn't been here at all since we found out about this. I don't know about you guys but I'm going to be playing Vice City next week, not this load of crap.

 

Exploring and finding stuff in games is cool but my experience with any FPS has always been you against the whole world in the campaign, even though you have teammates next to you everyone is shooting at you only and your teammates bullets can't kill the enemy, they only go down when you shoot them. I find this formula to be very lame and half assed and I want no part of it. When I buy a FPS it is for the online only. The last campaign I played was call of duty 4 modern warfare, the rest of them are like I explained already.

 

Sorry for the language, but all of the fans of Modern Combat are EXTREMELY pissed off right now. Gameloft just made one of the possible best and console quality games into a freemium game.

 

It sucks mp is going to be a Iap fest, but if the campaign is good then the 699 is worth it.

 

How much do you guys want to bet that once the game comes out that whole "community interaction" thing that Gameloft promised will be come, and nobody from GL will ever be seen on the forums?

 

Everyone,

I’m Alex, the designer of MC4. I’m jumping in because I can feel that you are all very stressed about the in-game shop from the leaked gameplay video you’ve seen. Our community manager can answer any of your questions – but let me tell you a few things you need to know:

GUNS AND SHOP
You absolutely don’t have to worry about the credits. If you played MC3, then you are already familiar with how the system works. You gain the exact same currency while playing as the currency required to buy any of the items. We’ve designed a shop menu where all items from the game are listed just to streamline the process of buying weapons and attachments (we have a lot of them). It’s a nice way to view everything the game has to offer in one place.

But the most important: There are no ‘paywall’. There is no other currency. There is no need to spend one dollar if you don’t want to. Just like in MC3, you can buy in-game credits with real money as a way to gain access to some guns or attachments faster. But that is totally optional. That will not cause any balancing issues because our weapons are carefully designed and balanced. If one weapon causes powerful damage, then it will lack mobility or accuracy, etc. There is no ‘best’ weapon – they all have their unique style of play and it’s really up to you to discover them. We really don’t think this is hurting the game, and I actually think it makes it better than MC3.

CUSTOMIZATION
We want players to try different attachments on their guns, tweak them, and discover new builds. You have a lot more control over your weapons in MC4 than ever before. You have a lot more freedom, but because of that we didn’t want to lock that great customization system in the rankings because it would have defeated the purpose of trying new builds. Everyone would have the exact same loadout at every rank. That is not our goal.

PROGRESSION
You will also rank up a lot faster than in MC3, and you will always have enough credits to buy something after almost every match. Weapons are obviously more expensive than attachments, but you will be able to buy an attachment every 1 or 2 matches.

SPECIALIZATIONS
One important thing that wasn’t mentioned anywhere yet: the entire Specialization system and all the skills are unlocked with ranks. You need to work hard to gain access to them. We believe the specializations are game changers but also require gameplay experience, therefore there are no way to buy them ahead of their rank requirements. This is classic MC3 here.

I understand your concerns. You guys are all very important to us and we appreciate how you care about the game. I hope this stuff makes you feel better. MC4 is great and will always remain fair for all players. I really can’t wait to play with you guys online when the game is released.

All the best,

Alex
