Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

LOTRO balanced it pretty good, in my opinion. There are lots of people who do the F2P model and have fun, and lots of people who pay monthly fees because they like playing lots of characters, and enjoy getting an allotment of funbucks to spend in the cash shop on top of all the perks given to premium subscribers.
Of course, for every one good F2P game, there are like 50 terrible ones. I don't think its a great model all told, even if a few people accidentally stumble onto a game where it works here and there.
Adele is totally great.
In boot camp the boys and the girls would sing her songs and rock out when the RDCs weren't watching
I like leveling up in lol because it happens every game 17 times
I wish an mmo could figure out how to steal that for pvp
Ah ben calisse... I guess i'll have to win you over with my charms as well, then! *Waggles eyebrows frenchly*

I haven't had sex in several months and I couldn't care less.
microtransactions seem to work fine in lol
Funny, I pictured it as North of England. Hence the ay up. Irish works too though!
Yeah. Though without paying any cash at all that initial slog to a mech was pretty bad at first. with the overhaul your first 25 matches give extra money so that you are guaranteed to have enough to buy almost any mech in the game.
They've also done a good job of releasing variants that are real-money only without making them unbalanced. They have the same tonnage / space restrictions just different hardpoints. One of them is maybe a tiny bit too good (the Illya) but that's debatable. So far all of the "OMG OP" mechs have been normal ones (the K2 Catapult and the Splatcat especially)
Wait you mean you're not already subscribed???
Building a video game character is a creative process for me. The talents and skills are like little Lego pieces and I'm looking for ways to put them together.
Locking them up behind a level is a little bit like saying, "Oh, you don't deserve wheels yet. Build 500 more houses and then you'll get wheels.
Oh, and satellite dishes? Pfft, maybe sometime next month."
But we have to discuss the battle star galactica ending first
yeah, LOTRO did a good job with it.
I couldn't see anything with the damn iron sights. Add to that the terrible way the gun feels when you're moving it around (I had to fuck with the settings a ton before that felt good enough) and I did not enjoy shooting. Putting the 4x scope alleviated my issues enough that I could enjoy it.
Sarksus is someone who likes his games all up front and accessible while still having a lot of depth and room to explore and learn, which is good.
His opinion is however subjective and there are those of us who do, in fact, genuinely enjoy leveling and accruing power in a quantifiable fashion as well, and these games are not all evil mouse chasing cheese scenarios. Leveling exists because it works, and it like any other kind of game mechanic or structure, can be done good or bad.
He gurgled when his Dad's team scored. He (the dad) has interpreted this as the first bond towards a team needed to desire to glass someone.
Strangers in Paradise comes to mind.
Can I see your work?

I suppose anywhere he can walk along a cobbled road with thatch-roofed houses on a dreary day, tipping his cap to all the ladies.
Lol is good because you want to get good at all kinds of champs and the free ones could literally be any champ in a given week
If I was president I would put these people who like leveling in prison.
I was hoping you'd say examples of people older than me starting out and doing a good job.

y mad
Weiiird
i mad about videogames
Wait, wut?
Did someone say it isn't?
i played through f2p lotro. if i remember correctly, you stopped levelling at like, 20 or so? or did you lose the ability to take quests?
i dunno, i quit after i got to that point. which while the game's f2p-ness was non intrusive, and was indeed f2p (or rather, an extended trial period) it failed to get me over that hurdle where i decided i wanted to spend money on that stuff and keep playing the game - which is perfectly fine - but being that the purpose of the game is to get people to spend money on it, in that regard it failed i suppose.
i think that the only way f2p can really work is in that type of model where you are paying for content beyond a certain point (like lotro!). ie each new area and a set of levels are an extra $5. anything that ties abilities or items or whatever to money is inevitably pay-to-win even if developers dance around saying it isn't.
Right. Between. The. Eyes.
Ubisoft does not fuck around with people who jump ship.
Makes me think twice about wanting to work for them, honestly...

Strangers in Paradise isn't a romance...
And probably pretty representative of old timey religious dudes who had absolute power

I'll never stop loving you, Sarksus, or occasionally disagreeing with your views on video game mechanics, or calling you S'karsus the Tzeentchen Lord of Change.
