Great Game, Terrible Unlock System
Played 30+ hours of this great game and I gotta say that the unlock system is one of the worst to ever appear in a video game. I am yet to unlock all the characters which sucks and is even worse for t...

Still complains about not having all things unlocked the first week the game comes out.
You do realize that part of the game is collecting things right? Snow globes, character accessories, gnomes, CHARACTERS.
Gears of war does not have collectibles aside some forced dog tags in maps or whatever.
Pokemon X .... hmm did you complain you don't start the game with zapdos right away?
What about that poor scrub who plays pokemon that ONLY likes shiny mew, but hey.. Is it up to the game company to give everyone a shiny mew?
No. If they want to use 1 specific character class you should have to work for it.
(Using pokemon analogy because you brought up that game.)
@iEmulatedi , handing out unlockables through RNG is not "working for it". Having to master a plant or zombie to unlock it next variant would be "working for it". But you missed one of my main points. In a balanced online competitive game you shouldn't have to work for it to use it. You should have to "work for it" to be good at it/with it. A specific example of "working in for it" is spending 12 hours in the training room with Ryu to learn combos.and specific timing or playing hundreds of online matches in Pokemon while learning to tweak your teams moves or mons' to ensure a better win rate.
Unlocking characters and abilities through RNG = not working for it
Unlocking characters and abilities through RNG = not working for it
Look at DOTA > Everything is unlocked
Look at League of Legends > You have to either grind for unlocking characters by choice or buy them with monies OR buy a mystery box which is RNG
Look at Battlefront > Grind EXP for skills/cosmetics
Look at Counterstrike > Weapon Skins (Either buy them on market, or open a crate with RNG)
Look at WOW > Kill a boss, get random loot / Win an arena match, get random loot
Look at PVZGW > Grind coins, open sticker packs, get parts of or entire characters/cosmetics
Look at EvE Online > Kill rats in a belt, get random loot
RNG is not a new concept, nor a bad thing in a game that is about collecting and having fun.- DOTA is a F2P game w/ no RNG for core competitive play
LoL a "F2P" game that allows you to spend money or in game currency on what you wish, no RNG
Battlefront has no RNG, you can spend the currency you earn on what you wish
Counter Strike a F2P that makes money off of gambling for weapons through RNG
WoW not as an RNG as you may think, all items have a specified % drop rate, also, dunno how you compare an RPG in which competitive play is an after though to a competitive shooter
PVZ, unlike the other (mostly) online competitive games you mentioned, you pay $80 for it and then pray to the RNGesus for core multiplayer components. I'd have a lot less beef with it if it did follow the Star Wars progression system of reaching the level cap within 24 hours and spending your in game currency on what you want to use.
The slots gives coins out constantly in this game...I'm able to get the 75k a couple of times each day...if not several. >.>
