Off Topic / they ruined roblox
« on: August 17, 2024, 10:57:27 PM »
my friend and I decided to play some meme games and WOW, after not playing for over a decade it is so much worse than I could have ever imagined
1. there are microtransactions EVERYWHER
you load into a game, click on a button on the gui, mtx
you walk over a button, mtx
you try go to an area, mtx
even in the classic sword fight on the heights you can permanently unlock swords now with mtx
back in the day the vast majority of the games had no mtx, and the ones that did usually had a single "vip" access t-shirt that you would buy with tix
if I wanted to spend that much money on video games I would buy actual games rather than play copies of said game on roblox
it's sad to see that kids are growing up with roblox thinking this is normal, that companies should just charge extra for every single feature, and video games are about who has the most money to spend
2. half the games are completely broken and unplayable
remember that one place you used to visit all the time? it's broken now, you can no longer play it
maybe you can find other games with the search bar! oh wait, half of those are broken too, and even the ones that are playable have features that are broken
the only games that you function are extremely simple ones OR the ones on the front page, but the amount of mtx those games have would make hypercasual mobile game devs jealous
3. front page games are so... complicated
they have improved the client A LOT. While the mtx ruins the games for me, it is still insane what is possible to create in roblox now. If I only played roblox, I would be very happy, but as someone who just wanted to get into a game and play instantly without having to learn anything, I was disappointed
