What's up everybody welcome to Ijin Game Scoop I'm yours Damon Hatfield joining me this week is Justin Davis Sam Clayborn

Act pukes and Ryan McCaffrey we've got a great show for you this week we're gonna talk about Horizon Zero Dawn

We are going to talk about the new game from the creator of Splunky

Hmm if you guys heard about this very cool. Oh, but first middle earth shadow of war

Found it is going to have micro transactions. Huh? What do you they're just they're funny. They're fine. Go ahead tell tell the audience what they are

Snape all of middle earth lore. Oh, yeah

The official word

Developers monoliths that correct. Yes, they say players can purchase loot chests

War chests exp boosts and bundles through the market to strengthen their army

Using you can't you know, there's an in-game currency and then real gold which you buy with real-world money

players have the option of purchasing gold and it can be required by or it can be acquired by spending real money

Also participating in community challenges and completing specific milestones were earn you gold as well

There's been a strong reaction from the Ijin commenters but the first give me your reaction

How do we feel about a $60 single player game having micro transactions for not just cosmetic items?

I think the randomized loot chest is the worst part of this

That is the thing where it's like if I want whatever it's gonna be maybe it's something cool like airgorns

You know sword or something like that. Yeah, if that's the case then I only want that then we'll do after like roll it a bunch

loot chest man, you can't you can't escape them anymore. They're everywhere. They're gonna be everywhere especially next year

They're already everywhere. I think you know, you said $60 single player game with loot chest the operative word there for me is

Single player actually. It's not $60 because you know overwatch the $60 but it has loot chest to me

Cosmetic items whatever you want a blue hat for your character buy the blue hat for your character

But but cosmetic items I think only have value in a multiplayer context in a single player game
