Games that you wish had microtransactions in them
- Thread starter Normal
- Start date
Why don't you...just watch a Let's Play? Makes no sense other than MMORPGs where you need to catch up to the most recent expansions.
Uhh, I personally have no desire to see any microtransactions in any 60 USD game. Now if you are asking which game should have been free to play with support for microtransactions from the start? Then EA's sports titles could work like that MAYBE, but ideally, no microtransactions at all in console games.
Every game should follow the Mortal Kombat Deception model for MTX.
Aka No MTX, everything included in the game, unlock it all by playing through the game's story mode.

I'd like to speak to the manager about these wishes I've been granted.
I'm never going to make a game so I'll never be able to make this joke for real, but I always wanted a game to have a single MTX for $1.99 that gave you the achievement for beating the final boss, played the ending cutscene, and rolled credits.
Three Houses. Give me some different outfits for Byleth that aren't stuck behind a $30 expansion.
Why stop at just microtransactions? Every game should also have loot boxes and an optional subscription on top of next gen price increases. Oh and a battle pass.
Better yet, battle passes that unlocks ability to buy lootboxes and special lootboxes can only be purchased if you subscribe.
Sounds like i'm joking but you can actually find Korean MMOs that does this.
I would spend hundreds of dollars on smash bros skins for characters that aren't miis
all those Odyssey costumes for Mario & Peach. All the different class costumes for the fire emblem characters. All the link botw outfits. The potential inkling combinations. They're literally sitting on a gold mine.

This is a good example.
Charge $1.99 or something small and unlock everyone at once.
I'm a big fan of this for some games, like in Resident Evil 2 you can pay $5 and it unlocks unlimited ammo and all the other crazy stuff that you can unlock by replaying the game over and over again.
It's just nice to have some time saving options.
Other than that, I can't think of any mtx that a game would benefit from.
???? Unlocking the characters is part of the experience. I literally unlocked them all in one sitting the day the game came out, it's not super hard to do
Every single game. Every playable character should have 10, 20, 30 costumes availabe for purchase.
Swinging back to your DMC example, imagine if we had the option to play with all Dante's in DMC5. DMC1, DMC2, DMC3, DMC4, hell d.m.c for whoever wants that. Instead we get jack shit. We on the console side get to watch the PC players mess around with mods.

Let's do it! Put microtransactions into everything! Cyberpunk hellscape: Video Game Edition!
- You are out of lives! Regain 1 per 30 minutes or buy some here! (200 lives for $19.99 MOST POPULAR!) (1500 lives for $99.99 BEST DEAL!)
- You are out of stamina for attacking/acting! You can't flirt for another 5 hours. Or get unlimited actions, attacks, and HP in the "determination" bundle for $29.99 (more then the actual game)
- You used up all your ammo! Air drop in some more for $9.99 an hour or put the game down for a month until Ellie finds some!
- Your weapon ran out of durability! Wait until you've finished repairing it at the heat death of the universe, Or gIvE us YoUr SoUl for infinite uses!
Call Of Duty:Modern Warfare because Battlepasses suck and I can't believe people like that crap, and their free tiers suck too. Much better to unlock lootboxes with random content than this bs.
I don't personally ever buy COD mtx with real money, but I do enjoy buying them with in game currency earned.

I'm not a fan of microtransactions, especially from the most egregious offenders (lookin at you, Ubisoft), but with this thread predicated on the notion that they're an inevitability and here to stay...
Mario Maker 2 has been... okay with the content updates and we've got some pretty good stuff. And don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that it's all been free. But I would pay money if it meant they would release more. Things like the costumes from SMM1 and Lanky Mario are small things I would like to have. Level themes, powerups, and enemy types could also be a thing. Really the sky's the limit for what they could add.

I wrote an email to Tecmo back at the 360 launch asking for DOA4 costumes dlc.
Boy did they take that email serious for 5 and 6 😅

None. if a game is so stingy with its "fun" that I could even consider P2W then the problem is with the game... and with me for having probably the start of a gambling problem, time to get dopamine from other source.
