The game has reached a point where there are many legends to be unlocked, which I think does more bad than good to the game. Why locked legends are bad for the game (from a new player's perspective)...
@KarvaRausku I will add another good example of a purchasable game having characters you still need to buy: Rainbow Six: Siege. If you just buy the base game, you're missing out on a ton of operators.
@jokool_aid What about a game like Warzone? That game doesnt have operators with abilities but the guns are all basic and you are at a severe disadvantage until you play to unlock and upgrade them. Or you have to buy them through blueprints.
@hayhor had to look up what you meant since I haven't played Warzone since launch (needed hard drive space....heard it's even worse now) and....yikes....okay, that's just garbage... I was considering going back and trying out Warzone again before reading up on that...
