Pay to play, pay to play more. Free to play gone mad...



Had this video linked to me from a friend. I couldn't agree more... I love the Free to play system, especially after working in a games company developing them about the time when the likes of Blacklight Retribution came out, and more recently: Planetside 2.

As for games that use the traditional gaming model, and then charge for additional in game content that sucks. (I'm looking at you Bethesda - Horse Armour?) But as mentioned here... games that you pay for then are pretty much pushed into spending more to get the proper gaming experience... to hell with that. I say just don't pay at all. They are essentially building a game that is broken or incomplete, and then making you pay to fill the holes... OCTAE*... ones that may be worth it, but they wont be core to the gaming experience, just cheap tag on's... but I don't see any.

*Of Course There Are Exceptions.

Geekgasm! : Planetside 2.

Planetside 1: Vanu Sovreignty
Planetside 2: NC and the Terran Republic.
So... Planetside 2...

I so cannot wait... Planetside is my 2nd longest played online game. (MMORPGFPS? MMOFPS may be more accurate, the roleplay aspect is simply that of having character advancement and a side of a conflict to fight for.) I made many friends in that game, and I have many occasions where I wish I could just log on and play like I did back in the day!

After watching the trailer at the above linky... I am stoked, I WANTS IT NOW!!!
