So, the TMNT content came out of nowhere and was a nice surprise. But along with the Onitsuka Tiger thing, it’s clear that Capcom is going to do a lot of sponsorships and product placement along these lines going forward.
As for myself, I generally don’t care much about cosmetic items. I might spend a few bucks here or there if I think something is really cool, but I’m generally not going to engage in purchasing that type of content. It’s still fun to walk around the battle hub and see other people using it though.
However, the prices on this content absolutely floored me. I figure a reasonable price for the entire bundle of content would be about $10 maybe. But just a single skin costs closer to $20 (and you can’t straight up buy them, you have to purchase the coins which are only available in certain denominations, so you are left with leftover coins). These skins are almost replicas of each other, they just have different weapons and mask colors! But each one has to be bought separately? And if you want to buy just the mask, each color has to be bought separately?? What happened to the dyes that you can find in game?
I get that it’s just cosmetic content, so no one NEEDS it. But it just seems like a dumbass move for them to try charging so much. What are your thoughts? Anyone purchased it?
It’s licensed content and honestly just not as interesting as the pirates skins they had last month. I’m not purchasing any, but if I were to purchase, I would only get Donatello’s and call it good. There’s more fun to customizing your avatar to look unique than wearing a costume. If someone is a TMNT super fan and wants to get themselves a skin, that’s cool. But I think most of us are not interested at that price point.
I’ve only spent $5 on the battlepass and it keeps refunding me with more content. That’s plenty enough customization for me.
