Fans expecting Horizon 3 to arrive by 2027 are panicking over a new rumor from an insider. Guerrilla Games may be devoting most of its resources to the newly announced Horizon Hunters Gathering. The live service PS5 game could delay the release date of the third mainline single-player adventure.
This might be a good time to ask this stupid question I’ve had for a few weeks now, since the main reason to prioritize MP over SP is for cosmetic sales:
How many cosmetics in any live service game have you ever actually thought were cool and wanted to wear and show off to others? For me, there hasn’t been anything purely cosmetic in any game I wanted enough that I would be willing to pay extra for. Maybe I’m just frugal or have different priorities for the image I want to cultivate; I would prefer an absolute dogshit looking cosmetic that I had to earn from a challenge than something beautiful I just bought. 🤷♂️
I have bought a handful in the last 2-3 years. Street Fighter 6 a couple costumes, Juri Onesie and Blanka-chan. And… That is about it to be honest. You could add the battle pass for The Finals I guess as that’s all cosmetic
Back in the day, I bought some Fortnite VBucks to get a couple skins and emotes. It wasn’t really to “show off to others”, I was just tired of looking st the same starter character and all of the gameplay based aspects of the game are free so I figured “Why not”. I did the same in some F2P MMOs like Vindictus and Black Desert.
In shooters, I usually don’t engage with skin mechanics because they are, in most cases, immersion breaking. I like my firearms black or maybe with some FDE furniture, I might do some cosmetic customization as long as it’s believable enough for the setting. Definitely not spending real money on any of that stuff.
