Bid Wars 2 – Pawn Shop Tycoon

The games super enjoyable and i find it neat hunting down new items. However once you hit a certain point there’s not much you can do. I’m level 24 now and the story is slowing down. I have over 800k cash that is pointless to me, there’s no big ticket things to buy or work towards. I own all the rental properties which $150-$200 per house?! This is america that number is a 1/16th of what is accurate. but introduce another building or something! expand the map, make cash usable, make big ticket auctions a thing. Something to work towards while you wait for things to sell. Also, when an Item has been inspected 3 times and you’ve gathered your 3 facts about them i don’t see the purpose of waiting an hour for them to examine that item If it’s not going to teach me any facts about it? I mean I personally believe that after the 3 examinations our game should be able to decipher a replica vs real deal no? Perhaps an update to expand the research facility or college to allow for more than one item at a time? the whole rare and examination process takes to long in my opinion. Some of the items are under priced. For example at the car auction there was a brand new mustang GT one of the cpu bidders ran me all the way up to $5,800. The brand new looking mustang? Only $3,200. I also think that if you know the 3 facts on an object you should be able to get a good money value of the item, where as some items that i’ve “examined” 10s to 20s of times will still give the cringy “wow, that’s worth a lot of money”. I think the game lacks the ability to compare item knowledge and progression as you progress through the game. I also think casino slots has no benefit. 15 gold with 2 possible combinations that are even worth it? out of what? a billion possible spins? that feature is broken and should be looked at more closely. I think all these topics would greatly improve the playing experience on this game!

So first you should know that the bidding for storage units and people wishing to sell in your pawn shop is completely arbitrary from what i can tell, as in there is a number generated randomly either above or below the real value that is held by the bidders and sellers. So youll have times in the game where enemies blow 3k for a $1k unit with no consequences, meanwhile you can do the same thinking theres a hidden valuable item. But the trick is no matter what you bid theres a limit of 6 items to bring home unless you grind missions and get farmed for advertisements for slightly better takeaway. After this you can list a maximum of 6 items in your shop(unless you give $ which will get you anything even things youd never want) for sale which can take a very long time for terrible to amazing returns. Theres also this system of rental properties you can buy which i guess is supposed to make it seem like youre building up but theyre useless and a waste of time, they neither collect enough money to justify buying nor are they priced anywhere close to reasonable, but youre allowed to watch ads for 2x collection which is still dogwater. If you would like to blow some time because you have absolutely nothing to do this is the perfect game for you, especially if youd like to spend money while doing so.

For someone that actually works in the pawn industry, this has the buying and selling portion nailed down in term of fun wise, not fully accurate but enough to feel like your in a shop. The main problems I do have with the game is the client counter and the video reduction/ads. To start off the client counter isn’t very accurate, you have no view of the objects actual price, and it’s hard to bargain with the client, as most of the time if they don’t make profit, they won’t sell it to you. Next, the video time reduction ads, after a certain period of time i’ve not had the opportunity to use them at all. And it’s not on my end, the game simply will not let me use them, the rent a safe, making good profit after a bid, reducing the waiting time on college reviews, I see no reason why it is taken away, as you guys make money off of it. So for me, it makes the game less desirable, as now I have to wait 1-8 hours just to play the game the way I want. In finale the game is great, Id definitely recommend to a friend, but there are some things that need tweaking and have its flaws, but every game does. I look forward to the game expanding and continuing its success!
