one of those full price games riddled with pay to win loot/gamble boxes. they should place those under the same rule set as online casino`s with an age restriction of at least 18 f off with this stuff in my games [youtube=igjXK1IAM9I]

Thats a pretty sweet deal. I remember i got Witcher 3 for free with my old 960

Hardly pay to win since it's a single-player game, dude. I don't agree with micro transactions but I doubt anything would be that compelling that I'd want to buy anything anyway. Not that I would regardless.

The game has multiplayer from my understanding of it, some player invasion thing with keeps that can be lost to other players if not defended though it's optional if you participate or not but I'm expecting WB to have some enticing rewards for having online active as to draw players in. (Can also lose some of your orcs that way if other players kill them I'm guessing.) Being on PC though even with say EAC or some other protection I'm fairly certain people would eventually hack the game and it doesn't matter if you have the Narsil +5 or whatever when the invader is in god-mode or speed-hacking and more.

GeForce Experience offered me to download this game via steam yesterday. I got my GTX 980 almost two years now 🙂

The game has multiplayer, with one mode having your army have permanent death... I think on a side note loot boxes should be gone, specially from full price games, it just makes developers gimp the content you get from the game that now can only be unlocked either through grinding or with a code from your credit card... Games used to have fun secret unlocks or codes you could enter in to do wacky things games now you just have to enter in your card information and pay £120 bucks to unlock this cool cosemetic skin from a box that's totally random....

I always miss out on free games when i buy my Graphics cards (bad timing i suppose) however even though i missed the free game this time i did get my 1080ti for £100 less than they are now for the same model ,so im happy about that .

Damn the quotes on this thing. It makes things look very strange. Anyway, it may have MP aspects, but it's still mainly a SP game, like its predecessor. Those people who complain about micro transactions are either those who won't ever touch them, or who complain but will still buy them. If you'd never buy them anyway, then why complain? Just vote with your wallet. Don't buy the game period. I'd never, ever buy anything in any game that's a microtransaction. Never have, never will. I still think it's an abhorrent way to incentivise people to spend more money for a game they already bought. Allow people to earn stuff by playing and keep it an even playing field...but then again you have people with more time than others so there will always be those who have more than you. But it's still better than damn micro-transactions

I have no problem buying it for 5,99€ in Bundlestar year or two down the line. Still it's greedy AF to put this garbage mechanics to a full priced game. And remember kids, WB didn't bother to fix bugs in Arkham Origins, because they were too busy to make DLCs. Maybe you don't care, but i personaly won't reward such behavior from a publisher.
