That’s where they get ya! You pay a bit for the hardware but it’s the services that snag you. A $75 PS Plus Membership just to play online, and at 30FPS, with a loading screen that takes two minutes out of my life with every transition you say? Why, sign me up!!
I bought an exercise bike, mostly for the privilege of riding through the Vatican with popes and cardinals dodging me. It was on sale, and then I realized (duh), the default membership for regular users is $400 a year. It’s almost as if actual manufactured things in this economy are “carriers” for the addictive software viruses.
As I’ve said elsewhere, to really get into the new system, one should start over with a fresh spawn and try out all the weapons. I do this through speed leveling, taking scrounged weps every time. It’s actually been quite fun, and unless anything has changed drastically from Beta, it again acquits my bestest reason for playing on the PC: fully supported keyboard and mouse.
EDIT
That, and the “magnetic lock” any pursuing opponent was magically given when applying spear thrusts.
