![]() ![]() TL DR Bought $25 of loot boxes in Blackops 3 and ended up spending over $500 a year later. For example when Destiny 2 put the shaders in the loot boxes I though of buy like $10 worth just to get a few cool shaders, but I didn't want my spending to snowball like last time so I didn't.Īnybody else have a similar experience where you ended up spending more than you realized? I'm not sure if the free weapon bribe was meant to be enabling, but it sure felt like what started it for me. The thing that finally got me to stop was when my roommate asked why I was spending money on a game that was going to be dead in a year. I actually went back through my Amazon history so this is just a rough estimate from what I could find. Most of the purchases were in small amounts of ~$20 so I didn't notice it as much as I should have. Over the next few months I spent $200-$300 mostly whenever a flashy sale came out, because the new weapons felt like they were keeping the game fresh for me. So because I was pissed I spent another $100 and got something good enough to settle my rage. Since it was the only game that I was playing at the time I justified spending another $50 just to get.nothing. So I stopped there due to disappointment and waited till the next DLC came out, and by that time I think they had added 2-4 ranged weapons in by that time. I ended up getting a sniper that was a piece of shit at the time. If I was smart I would have stopped there, but I had a $25 visa gift card lying around and decided to throw in $25 of my own money and try to get another gun. So naturally there was a pretty decent backlash against this at first, but then Treyarch gave everyone with a seasons pass a free guaranteed "weapon bribe" and 10 rare supply drops. ![]() It started with melee weapons but then moved to the guns and other ranged weapons. If you don't know anything about how supply drops work in BO3, basically they start off cosmetic and added the new weapons in later. So when Blackops 3 came out it was a time in my life where I was able to dedicate a significant amount of time in my life to gaming. Also apologies for formatting in advanced as I am on mobile. I thought it would be interesting to share my experiences as well as hear back from people that have had similar experiences. So given that loot boxes are a pretty hot topic right now. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gaming r/xboxone - Xbox-specific subreddit for general Xbox news and discussion r/playstation, /r/PS4 & /r/PS5 - PlayStation-specific subreddits for general PlayStation news and discussion r/pcgaming - PC gaming-specific subreddit for general PC gaming news, discussion and gaming tech support r/nintendo - Nintendo-specific subreddit for general Nintendo news and discussion r/shouldibuythisgame - Find out what's worth getting. ![]() r/gamingsuggestions - Go here to help you find your next game to play r/gaming4gamers - Discussion, bar the Hivemind Top-level comments must be at least 100 characters in length.Accounts must be at least one month old.External Links must follow these guidelines ![]() No topics that belong in other subreddits This subreddit shouldn't be used for advice of any kind.
