Most full priced games come relatively complete with nothing withheld, but there are some that will empty your wallet in no time.

In recent years, gaming companies have started to take liberties with there customer base by incorporating shady marketing ploys and ridicules payment options inside some of our favourite game franchises. They know exactly what they are doing, and hope we wouldn't of noticed. But the gamers called them out and there schemes to squeeze more money out of us fell by the waist side, with the games failing.

Here are 5 full priced games with over priced micro transactions.

5 – Middle Earth; Shadow of Mordor.

This game was supposed to introduce the world to next level graphical detail to accompany the awesome gameplay we all wanted from a title associated with Lord of the Rings.
Granted the gameplay for the most part is awesome, and the graphical detail is equally amazing. The problem lies with the progression of the game. Yes you can complete the game without having to pay a penny, but it is extremely difficult. The micro transactions within the game basically allow you to pay your way to victory, rendering the game for the most part, useless.
To add insult to injury, the loot boxes are constantly forced in your face every time you go to the menu screen or you kill a major character. If that isn't shady I don't know what is.

4 – Dead Space 3.

Aside from being an iconic space opera / horror franchise, Dead space is by far one of the most influential titles in the gaming world that spawned a whole host of games with a similar narrative.
But then corporate dicks got in the way as they usually do in these cases by demanding in game purchases be made available in the 3rd instalment of the franchise, which ultimately killed it.
The general idea of a survival horror is being able to survive. So when you have the ability to buy weapons or items you need/want, kinda takes the survival aspect away from the game.
It takes the horror out of it too. If you can buy the best weapons and gear in the game, what is left for you to fear? The previous 2 titles were supper immersive with an enticing story. This version is but a shadow that was killed by greed.

3 – Deus X; Mankind Divided.

This franchise just can't get a break. Sure the first game was OK and had reasonable graphics for the 7th gen consoles. But that was it. It did have a very unique narrative, but wasn't enough to gain the traction that the game really needed. Then more corporate dicks with shitty business practices stuck there nose in and killed another franchise.
Fans of the original game were hoping for more of the same but in higher detail for the follow up game. But with the implementation of micro transaction in the game put of fans and new gamers alike. You could buy almost anything from in game credits to augmentation items and more. For the most part, they were not that bad. But most of them were only for a 1 time use, meaning you have to constantly buy the same item each time you want to use it. And they are bloody expensive with some reaching $50 for an item that lasts 10 seconds. WTF!

2 – Star Wars Battlefront II.

Well. Everything that can be said, has been said about EA and the fall of a once beloved game, thanks to corporate ass holes.
As time went on after the launch of this game, the loot box system was getting worse and worse as EA kept adding items, ending up being a pay to win service. Gamers saw what was happening and revolted against EA, and for the best part, were successful as EA did put a halt to the Loot Boxes.
But that was not to last, as no sooner had they stopped the loot boxes, after they spew some crap about how they have altered it along with player progression, they were back and just as bad as before.
The problem now though, is EA is seeing a drastic fall in server activity as players who are pissed off with the system leave the game to play others instead.
Now there are talks of Disney pulling the plug and ditching EA as they are just... well, dicks.

1 – Metal Gear Survive.

I think Konami are both blind and deaf, the aftermath of this games release speaks for itself. Critics hate it, you tubers hate it, fans hate it, newcomers hate it, forums, social media... they all hate the game. The only ones that do are the critics like IGN and GameSpot who have been paid by Konami.
So we can all agree that the game is bad. It looks amazing from a graphical stand point, but everything else sucks.
What is worse about the whole situation is, the game looks and plays more like a DLC for metal gear solid 5, but it incorporates the most shadiest of shady business practices by charging you to save your game if you want more than 1 playable character. This was the last stretch for me, and no sooner than I bought the game, I demanded my money back from steam. There was no way in hell I was paying £10 just to be able to save! Go fuck yourself Konami. HKP Forever.

It pisses me off that gaming as a whole has turned into a get rich quick scheme for corporate dicks, essentially turning games into a pay to win, taking the fun out of any game play, and using a gambling loop hole so kids with there parents credit card can gamble away there money on randomized loot boxes.
It all got to ahead in late 2017 when EA and star wars was put under a microscope. I can only hope as time goes on, this ''Fad'' will fade away, taking the corporate dicks with them.
