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.

    they are universally terrible because you cannot get around the inherent problems created by microtransactions

    microtransactions seem to work fine in lol

    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

    I think it works because it takes like 400 hours to get decent at the game and by that time youvemunlocked a bunch of shit

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    Planet side 2 has the worst free to play model

    You literally buy power

    Not really. I mean you can, but you can also earn it.

    Doesn't make it different from BF3 or CODs unlock system.

    The only thing you can buy with only money is cosmetic.

    Well I disagree, the amount of bullshit slogging you have to do in ps2 is ridiculous with your shit gun with shit scope to get one gun on one vehicle that's locked to one character

    Hmm, I guess.

    What I did is I picked a class or 3 (eng, infil and heavy) and a vehicle and only really played those, so my unlocks came relatively quickly (I earn about 80 certs an hour according to my stats sheet) and I still use the default weapon with most classes since honestly, they're just as good.

    AA MAXes and vehicles (especially air) has the biggest increase in effectiveness with new toys, and those also then to be expensive.

    Ground vehicles not so much. The default tank turrets are still the most versatile, and the Sunderer only needs 50certs for the AMS to reach 80% usefulness.

    IRL basically uses Oblivion's leveling right? Where you get fucked over for specialising too much, fucked over for not specialising enough, and no one can figure out exactly how it works until their stats are fucked?

    I like progressing my own skills rather than my character's skills! As I get better at selecting my equipment or playing the game I progress and feel accomplished. When I level a character I am doing something anybody could do.

    I bitch a lot about Planetside 2 but after I got the scope it was better, and if I had been playing with other people cooperatively it would be better still, but the way it's designed is dumb and between it and Battlefield 3 I am mad about all of the nonsense that is between me and the game I want to play.
