I address that the skins are overpriced and need to be toned down, which is why I didn’t even try to buy the sword or death box, BUT I love the way the sword and the hop ups were integrated into the game itself, which is super fun, and I hope future collabs are integrated this way!

[@StacheBoi]

amen

[@The-Duke76]

Yo can u do a video of only buster sword

[@felipezamora9711]

You know it bad when macro doesn't buy the whole event

[@kidsquid4458]

happy that macro is one of the only creators that call out predatory monetization in gaming AND actually follows by his word and doesn't buy micro-transactions

[@LukeKimmell]

Remember when Apex first came out and people were wanting a Chappie/Pathfinder collab? At least with this event, Respawn aren't against collaborations that aren't just other EA properties

[@jacobknight1333]

I really hope people don't spend much money on this, respawn isn't going to learn otherwise. The event is great and really fun, but these cosmetics man, everything is way overpriced and they justify it by being a collab. I'm a pretty big FF fan, but there's no way I can get any of this because of the price point and if I do spend money there's no way of guaranteeing I get what I want so I'm just not going to spend anything

[@Spyglass_07]

Respawn makes the skins and events, EA are the ones that market the stuff. But yea the prices are beyond ridiculous. But people will always buy out the store no matter what 🙄

[@Texansfan59]

What's fun about a bunch of sweats running around with an op sword 😂 just feels like regular trios but worse if u ask me.

[@jacobknight1333]

Then get the op sword yourself @@Texansfan59

[@matisstrange5956]

Brooo i actually rlly hope they bring this collab back because that sword mythic looks like a lot of fun😭 hate that I didn’t end up trying it out when it was out

[@matteorusso4001]

In my humble opinion on the matter and generally agreeing with the discussion expressed in the video, I would say that overall we can appreciate the new LTM and if we really want, buy the skin of our favorite character because we like it, but for the rest it would be better not to invest too much money in the virtual store.

[@MyNamesNick_777]

0:05 the scream though! This better be used in a lot of memes

[@rCrypto_Frog4148]

i havent played in a year and this event is what brought me back!

[@nerdcuddles7731]

This is what Ash's Ultimate should have been

[@user-qd6ld3sl6i]

You’ve been my fav KZbin since you first uploaded! Keep it up macro and have a good day😊

[@moatija62]

There's absolutely zero way Macro isn't actually getting paid by EA and Respawn at this point Edit: joke, macro's cool

[@macrolive]

I’m not being paid, I just had fun today, and I didn’t spend more than $6 lol That is all

@@macrolivethey gifted you stuff wym they’re not? It’s not like they’re doing it from the kindness of their hearts

@@CaptainFranklinthey gifted me a plushie, that came in the mail without me even knowing it would come. I didn’t get a dime from them otherwise, and if I do, I always make it clear

[@RocketStar09]

Honestly Ashe should have been Sephiroth so her sword could have the long katana skin

[@AN4ROK]

THIS SHOULD BECOME ASHS ULT

[@LukeKimmell]

This makes way more sense for Ash than what she has now, but I don't know if they would want to get rid of the teleport.

[@MarvelFan41]

@@LukeKimmellthey could revamp her teleporting ultimate and make it an ability

[@TheGoldenApex]

Ngl this is the best event in terms of skins in the whole history of the game. Period.

[@sir.cranberry9727]

Uhm.... no

[@nighter7881]

Skins are really wack lol

[@aceofdiamonds389]

God I really wish that they make a collab with xenoblade and added the Manado that would be so dam hype

[@Niteowl11611]

6:09 "hold up im fat" lmao

[@campbellgardner3559]

It’s a shame my odds of buying the r99 skin are now very slim, so that disappointments me a little

[@5th-gear]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Maria-zn5sp]

I wonder wat other games they could collab with👀👀👀

[@m0ejo324]

Resident Evil? Dead Space? Monster Hunter? The possibilities are endless.

[@johnnopeyy4129]

Animal crossing.

we've come full circle to sword core combat

The stream was a ton of fun 😊

[@lightninglads8153]

Another banger from macro

[@MysticalHaloZ]

Why does the Materia remind me Of the Infinity Stones

[@CoolDylan1216]

That Tony guy was pretty funny

[@CHUNCHUNMARU971]

The event is fire man the whole game mode is so much fun, I just hate how that the pricing has just gotten worse and worse overtime and the options they give to have skins are more limited, iconic skins should not be a thing it should be called legendary, and they should atleast let us craft our fav skins.

[@provaricus627]

Yo they added the Ronin Titan sword!

[@crotrick7063]

@everyone the pack you can buy with 2100 gil is a epic pack not an event pack, bought mine today and was sincerly dissapointed

[@jdumeus1]

Low key this game mode was fun af and the sword is actually fun …. I think they just need to limit how many swords are in the actual game

[@WataAlpha]

All I’m hearing is SHING SHING SHING SHING SHINg shing shing 😂

[@Kamaro1412]

This gives me season 7 Fortnite ptsd

[@elgwninja]

I was on Tony’s stream when u we’re tryna convince him and then he just bought all of it

[@frontful5698]

I think Crypto is meant to be Zack not Cloud

[@Mr.DontOverThinkIt]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but aren't those free event packs you can grind for only _epic_ rarity? Making them virtually useless?

[@wikaiii]

Yeah, You can get epic/purple pack 3 times for free.

[@Mr.DontOverThinkIt]

@@wikaiii So basically if you want anything actually cool from this event, you need to fish out money. That's absurd

[@wikaiii]

Yeah, this event is expensive as hell. And you can't choose/craft with crafting material, which is suck 😂 I open 2 event packs (first pack is free & second pack is 100 apex coin.) And i got 2 banner frame, atleast i don't get that useless holospray XD

[@samsausages36]

the store cycled weekly, event packs were available on week 2 and 3

[@bjslice6170]

Bro how, I did the 100 apex coins for the second pack and all I wanted was the Watson skin and I got it. They know some how

[@beadz5625]

i bought 5 packs and got nothing I wish they upped the odds or something since i feel like i wasted money on it

[@vappa101]

Its funny i got the crypto skin the 1st pack i opened

[@captionyourshort2]

Bro I don’t get why people hating I get the cosmetics are stupid and overpriced but the event itself is sick!

[@cyn1ck321]

yes it did macro. yes it did.

[@pcristianr]

lets keep it real

[@ProdigyMahadev]

Big respect for not buying this ridiculous expensive event . They want to capitalize everything I understand they want money but for billions worth company they are greedy beyond any normal sense . They started promoting gambling and I think for me personally it is enough of this game . I will definitely not invest anymore money or time on game that think 300 euros is fair price to charge for players who still play game,when i say still this game is in worst spot ever and i was loyal,definitely time to change orbit. Who want to pay 300 euros for unbalanced game who have so many bugs and get roled with aim assist . Anyway big respect for you not buying event .

[@champagnecamping65]

Fine. I’ll come back to apex

[@naz1225]

Ballistic as Sephiroth skin, I buy that if they have it. smh

[@Null82085]

I wish they’d focus more on the game itself than the skins, then I’d get the motivation to play this game again, I love apex, but it’s not that fun anymore

[@yahimtess8649]

i feel like we never got content in between seasons

[@johnnopeyy4129]

BTW Does anyone else feel like the matchmaking is a bit better for some reason? Maybe they gave it an unlisted baby patch? Or is it just me?

[@wyattstrapon6352]

Ryujin no Ken wo kurea

[@cheeseballs4551]

This event is killing this game not saving it☠️

[@johnnopeyy4129]

Why does it need to be saved? The player count is the same as it's always been around 200,000-250,000 concurrent on steam during peak play hours. That's the same as even 2022.

[@agentboi4794]

I think Crypto looks weird with blonde hair so I’m glad that he kept his normal hair. I’d buy skins if they weren’t overpriced 💀

[@darwizzy.]

macro is hot ngl 😘

[@Clips-kn8wd]

bro all im gonna see now is wombo combo

[@Mimic_Chan]

Those are not event packs in the store...

[@johnnopeyy4129]

[@seasonalidiot956]

macro this is my favorite event so far. the only reason is because when opening one of the purple packs I got my first heirloom and popped off. Anyways overpriced as shit and def not buying anything else.

[@nodobokeria76]

its even worse that with these crazy prices they still want to cut money on artists and use AI "art" for promotions
