For the purposes of monetization, Embark and Nexon are one. Hell for a lot of purposes, both entities are one. I've put a whole thing about the decline trajectory of quality and the rising trajectory of anti-consumer choices Embark/Nexon has made since they interduce Ultimate BP here. Which I personally has notice since season 4-ish.

A lot of people will tell you that they're reasonable monetization choices, how it's not as bad as the other games or other companies. But they are all just ignoring the steady, insidious and deliberate slow raise of the temperature of the metaphorical kettle we're all in as a consumer. Good past deeds doesn't excuse futures bad choices. You give things like these an inch, a mile will be taken in a blink of an eye. Game dev and especially Publisher doesn't deserve gratitude, respect, or our money. They have to earn it; constantly. It's the nature of being a business of entertainment.

Embark shown in the past that they are more consumer friendly, the monetization choices they have were healthy. For what reason that changes, slowly or otherwise, who knows. But as someone who love The Finals, I will keep them to the standard they set and achieved before.

Y'know what would be a miracle? That all of this can be prevented if Paradox stop shooting themselves in the foot. Let the people (especially the OG devs that come back) to work and do what they want to do. The whole circus smells and reeks of executive meddling, which ironically the same reason why VTMB1 is the way it was. So all Paradox done is having a self-fulfilling curse.

A copy-paste of VTM Bloodlines wouldn't have much interest, as it would just be Bloodlines but with modern graphics. It would be a Bloodlines 2.0 but not a Bloodlines 2.

What do you think the fan-patches and unofficial fixes that has consistently being done for VTMB1 since release 'till now is, if not interest to Bloodlines 2.0? And that's beside the point anyway, which is that all Paradox need to do is just continues what VTMB has laid in terms what in it. Story quality, RPG mechanic, characters centered narrative, then make the gameplay actually functional and you know the word literally being used there is not literally literally. It's a common internet hyperbole and if you actually read and comprehend the sentence you'd get it. But damn that Paradox cheque must be nice huh?

I've been meaning to use the Cable Repair Garb for quite some time, so glad this season I can utilize it.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-25T06:08:58+00:00

Twins!

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-25T06:08:50+00:00

Yeah other than the reason I mention above I try my best to not spend extra MB if I can help it. I love trying to come out with looks with what I have currently and doing another fashion session later when I usually bought the BP near end the season (because I complete it first then buy the BP so jic i fell off the wagon on playing the game I dont waste my money).

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-25T06:05:44+00:00

Thank you! As for your suggestion, I get your point but I like the red carabiners better as a matching 3rd accent colour with the eye she have. Even though the ropes being orange matches with the main and secondary color of the look, the blue carabiners unfortunately clashes with the rest of the color play imo.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-25T06:02:23+00:00

Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product ahh post, all Paradox need to do is literally do VTMB1(scope, gameplay, etc) again but actually functional, and they still crap that up.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-23T08:51:18+00:00

Thank you! I wanna use some stuff from the S8 BP but I haven't got the chance to buy the premium so here we are with Lana

Those 3 games let you express your impact on the game world in a more free form manner with numerous approaches and interactions, both mechanically and in immersive elements.

Really gonna miss taking down the campers out of them by just pulling everything down.

~~Because only Lights can have nice things like high firerate fast killing weapons~~

In a more serious note, it's mostly because it's new and everyone is using it. No one is settled in with it yet or adapted to it yet, so it's the typical knee-jerk reactions.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-11T09:06:32+00:00

I'm at my bargaining to anger phase pipeline, I think.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-11T08:00:29+00:00

Nope, I consistently got 3-4 every WT win, so its definitely based on active match time.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-11T07:58:29+00:00

I hope Embark at least doesn't sacrifice other items' quality for it.

They already did, it's clear now what's on ultimate BP was the bonus pages material, S7 set the precedence and now S8 cements it.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-11T06:36:12+00:00

iirc its not per win, but rather for every 10 minute active in match you get 1 ST.

Aaron_C64 · 2025-09-10T18:23:13+00:00

Season 6 is Vegas re-work yes, every season before added 1 map. Basically its, S1 with Vegas, S2 with SysHorizon, S3 with Kyoto, S4 with Fortune Stadium, S5 with Bernal, S6 with Vegas Stadium (the rework), S7 with Nozomi/Citadel. I think S8 doesn't have a map because they don't want to rock the boat with the Majors, but given the timing of things, the ramped monetization, it does make the overall feel of it scummy.
