Square Enix Extends Season One Of Chocobo GP

I still have 0 interest in this game.

I am never going to buy a stupid pass to unlock content that already exists in a game. Thats not how DLC works

Nope.

Try harder, Square.

I’m so disappointed, that Disneys Free to Play Racer will probably be better received than this one.

It’s a fun game…but the season pass thing is a blunder. I’m not going to gain another 30 levels in time to get Cloud
Hopefully they can turn things around, because like I said, it really is a fun game!

Pretty sure Square's decisions are steered by shady, scam-loving shareholders, and they'll never understand. They are just metaphorically rearranging deck chairs on a sinking Titanic.

Prove me wrong, Square.

(I had fun with the demo. If this was a regular retail game, I'd totally buy it.)

I wish i knew how many copies this game has sold

@Fulgor_Astral I truly hope this game flopped massively so that they'll think twice about incorporating stupid stuff like this in any of their future games.

SquareEnix has ruined the game even more.

I'd be less annoyed by the pass system if progress could be made in any game mode, not exclusively online play.

Just give us all the contents for free, that's the point of us paying full price for it.

Nobody would be up in arms over microtransactions if the game was f2p.

It was so close to being a great runner up to MK and they literally blew it. Scrap the micro-transactions and fix the freakin' horrible control set up. I am so glad that I did not buy this game.

The other racing game that is a fund hound is Hot Wheels. That game is quickly becoming THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAME ever. Base game -$60, Season 1&2- $30 each, Monster Truck Expansion, $14.99, DC Super Heroes-$5.99, Batman Expansion-$14.99. Right now we are at $156.00 !!!! This doesn't even include all of the $3 add-ons and all of the cars that you can buy. You'll end up with a $200+ game that people are gonna stop playing in another year or so.

No, Square. That isn't the way. I know we already talked about this, but one more time:

Make the game FTP, or make the game full price without FTP mechanics. Choose a path. You can't take both.

Sure they make it look like the problem is fixed but you're still forced to grind an ungodly amount of hours to unlock Cloud. Get to season pass level 60?? It should be like level 10. Grinding is not fast in this game. It's all a total scam. The vast majority of players won't get Cloud. This isn't a competitive free to play mobile game where rare units are OP and limited. Let us have the dang characters we bought the game for.

@Screen I mean obviously because they would actually be justified.
A near full price game like this one has no excuse to be riddled with micro transactions though.

What makes me sad is that the frequent updates to the system PLUS them extending the length of the season 1 battle pass pretty much tells us that they KNOW the season pass system is utter b*llshit and everybody despises it but for some reason they're so adamant on keeping it and seeing if people will eventually come around to it (spoiler alert: they won't).

What makes me sad is that I was actually quite excited to pick this up. I wasn't going in expecting a successor to Mario Kart or anything but it looked like a cute, cartoony kart racer that contained a story mode and was right up my alley. The second however they introduced the season pass my interest went immediately out of the window and will continue staying there until they stop shoving crayons up their noses and actually remove this crummy, predatory system that literally NOBODY views in a favourable light.

@Diogmites The games needs a few more tracks certainly. I have managed to enjoy the game even with it's shortcomings but new tracks are really needed now...

Sorry Square. It was on my day one list until you introduced seasons and micro transactions. I was hyped to play a challenger for MK8 and you blew it.

I hate Disney but I will give a chance to their FTP Racer, at least they are openly honest about wanting your money and grinding.

I’m 20 levels away from completing the battle pass. It’s become a bit of a grind at these later levels, but I’m still having a lot of fun. I am glad that they extended the season so I don’t have to grind that hard anymore.

Those are great news! I'll save that Gil for when Asura/Leviathan gold paint appears on the shop. 😎💙💛

@TheAmazingMisterFox still a solid game besides MTX. Sure it has its jankiness (as most kart racing games have), but getting the lines right and get through the chaos it's so rewarding!

I have no problem with the micro transaction thing doesn't really matter to me because it keeps the game alive my only problem is seasons are two long as is and level up take to long to many level to go up not enough stages online

In for all the people complaining getting to level 60 is not a grand now 200 on the other hand yes stop complaining it's a good game but extending the season not good seasons are two long and not enough stages

They saw Mario Kart, the masses of kids.. they got greedy

It finally makes sense. The GP in the title stood for “Greedy Pigs” all along!

@Luigivaldo, glad you are finding it fun, loved the chocobos in rollerblades.

But to me, it’s a mediocre karting game at best. I found the controls and driving physics really really really lacking, the tracks and race lines not that exciting and that was not considering the micro transaction shenanigans.

I really really wanted it to be good and I tried my best to like the demo, but I’m happy I did not shell out money on a copy. I would have been really upset.
