I played counterstrike competitively for years and switched back to controller when I gave it up and wanted to play CoD and Halo 3 with my friends. I'm sure I was rusty at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I like using controllers for shooters. I get a lot of wrist strain playing shooters on PC with M+KB

I like to learn and use the correct ways to pronounce the words cause I like to learn and adapt. I only pronounce words incorrectly to make light of something.

@notnert427: yeah it would be nice to just unlock what I want by completing certain in-game challenges but this is the state of games...

@dudeglove: @babychoochoo: The reason that I don't mind lootboxes in Overwatch is because, while I understand that they are to make Blizzard money, they are also earnable without money, they offer randomization that maintains rarity and desirability to the cosmetics, and they are a part of a larger game that is very good and continues to get better.

There are multiple ways to earn lootboxes now. You can play specific modes that offer a loot box if you play it and win your first game (usually 2). Then you can play arcade mode and win 9 matches to earn 3. Lastly, you can simply play and level up your account and earn loot boxes at a slower rate (regardless of wins). If they offered rewards that gave some players an edge in certain modes (gears 4 horde mode), then I would take back everything I said. But as cosmetics, I like how they are set up now. I think duplicates could give back more coins, or boxes should be earned slightly faster though.

@bladeofcreation: hmm is that where the hats and stuff came from? Maybe that was the first.

Hey everyone I have two questions about loot boxes:

1. What was the first game to have randomized loot boxes? (I have been looking but can't find that information. Overwatch doesn't seemed to be linked to any random loot box concept pages.

2. What games do you like loot boxes in and which do you hate them in? I'm assuming that most people hate them when they are not filled with pure-cosmetic items, but I still am curious.

I like loot boxes in Injustice 2 and Overwatch. I hate them in SMITE, and Gears 4.

Looks like the Xbox guild is full :(

Destiny. Same day.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said in this post. Terrorist hunt is boring, compared to rainbow six vegas 2, because the defend objectives are just so dull. The microtransactions make the game a marathon to unlock new operators. The maps are fine. I don't have as much of a problem with them as the other things.

@wynnduffy: Bingo!
