Not that I disagree with your original point or anything. I just find it humorous that you condemn microtransactions while admitting to paying for CoD.
Already stated I've never bought any CoD DLC/Map Pack and refuse to support $15 for a few maps, sometimes rehashed maps. It's another model I will not support. MW3 is certainly not P2W so there is no comparison. If they started charging $15 a month to get XP and in-game currency faster, then I'd agree with you. But out of the box MW3 is a feature and content filled game that always works.

imo, your opinions are completely retarded.
The feeling is entirely mutual. And not just about this topic. Quite frankly I don't care what you have to say about my opinion of not throwing money at P2W beta's and that it's extremely harmful to the future of games (as more and more companies do this). Feel free to contribute to the monetizing of every feature in games.
$45 isn't a one time fee. He has already made multiple transactions, thus we can conclude he will continue to make more transactions so he can P2W. It's a stupid model, and one I will never buy into, simple as that.
If Blizzard was doing this with the Diablo 3 beta, you can be damned sure people would be screaming bloody murder.

"Playing: ...MW3"
/facepalm
For never having played the game and not knowing anything about it, you certainly have a lot of unjustified criticism.
Paying $45 for in-game currency and to level up faster in a Beta stands for just about everything wrong with gaming these days. Considering the amount of people on Blues that abhor nickel and dime DLC, Pay To Win, Subscriptions, etc it's pretty sad that anyone finds this acceptable.
MW3, I got it on sale and rarely play it, I have never bought their DLC and certainly will never buy into that Elite garbage. I payed less for the full game than Roach has for P2W crap in the TA Beta. Imagine how much the suckers will pay over the duration of time they play Tribes Ascend.

Some people like that style of grindy stuff and I don't begrudge them it.
Uhh how was it "grindy"? Not once did I have to stop progressing through the game to just level up. That's what "grinding" is, and Dead island did not have that. Furthermore, with one of the patches they made it so the zombies leveled up with you.
Did you even get to the city? Gameplay was great there, and made even better with the DH Helper, depending on the settings you used.
I do find it laughable that people think the quests in DH suck, considering the praise Skyrim gets and has the exact same style quests. Go here kill this target. Go here and collect item X. That's all most games quests are. If you don't get a satisfaction out of the dynamics of the melee combat in DH, then you probably aren't going to like the game, regardless of the quests.

Oh come on. Even though I understand what you say and agree with you (up to a point), why can't I complain about it? Would it harm you if I got what I wanted and was made happy by it instead?
Not at all, but realistically you shouldn't expect to keep things in Beta. As it turns out they are marketing beta as an early access, which I really don't agree with, but now they do need to make sure they follow through with that promise.

Yep, F2P/P2W, just like that horrible game Team Fortress 2.
TF2 was balanced and released long before it went F2P. Regardless, I don't play TF2 either, 25 or so hours total since release. But Valve doesn't steal your money by forcing you to buy their own form of currency. TF2 doesn't sell you the equivalent of a monthly subscription to make you more powerful and you lose it when you stop paying. TF2 items drop (randomly awarded), so really you never have to buy a damn thing and you will still get new gear.
$8 (10 days) & $15 (30 days) Boosters double the base XP and Tokens you receive inside of the game as you play, allowing you to unlock classes, skills and perks at a faster rate.

It doesn't even cost 8, you can play for free and do well. The 2 free classes previous to this patch are actually some of the best ones (ranger and solider). It's definitely not pay to win (so far). Playing/paying more just gives you more options, not better options.
With this patch you get 3 free classes: Pathfinder (good/great), Soldier (great), and Juggernaut (okay).
Oh god, I took a closer look, this is a F2P/P2W game? Barf. I've avoided them like the plague. Pre-order is $30 so I dont see how someone got it for $8. I still may give it another look when Im not at work, but Ive got enough non-P2W crap to play.

[AND they've been accepting money for gold and boosters which people have been using to gain this progress.
Are these the same people that bought into Hellgate Londons Lifetime Subscription?
Seriously though, I'm interested to try out the game, but more interested in Firefall. If $8 is all it takes, I may look into that. Still, the devs promising to carry over stuff to official launch of the game is dumb. Launch day should be a relatively even playing field.

Are you sure? The majority seems to think otherwise.
So a few posts on Blues is a majority? Why are the majority of people so fucking stupid? Would be pretty dumb for me to make that judgement based on 3 peoples comments.
Prez wrote on Feb 2, 2012, 11:05:
It's weird that you say that, because I played the game almost exclusively in SP for dozens of hours and never really got bored.
Ditto.
I had every intention of playing coop at launch, but it was broken for a few days so I continued on playing solo. Turns out that was the best way to play anyways. The game has issues, no more than any other game released these days. Unlike so many other games released this past fall, Dead Island ran on peoples systems from day one without some divine intervention of the video driver gods.
The DH Helper tool is fantastic. So one of the huge perks of PC gaming is having access to fan made utilities when publishers fail to allow devs to give proper post release support, and all of a sudden that is a problem and a reason not to by a game? It's a fun game. Some people won't like it. Judging it on 100% speculation and a handful of comments from the most cynical gamers around, when the PC version has mostly favorable reviews, and you've already been told multiple times that the major problems were fixed in the first week of release, just reeks of idiocy.

I don't even understand why people buy console games when they can rent. So few are worth the purchase. Anyway, this will be another crappy console port to skip.
Because some of us actually want the industry to continue to exist and more games to be made.

One particular thing stands out and there's nothing in soe Everquest faq. Turbine offers 3 month discount for subscribing instead of the $15, you get it for $10 per month. Guess soe doesn't want their servers to fill up with people spending money for 3 months at a time.
Of course it could just be soe's Corporate baseless sense of entitlement, too.
Or it could be because you aren't looking very hard.

Actually sound design is very good. You CAN hear enemy footsteps and gear rustling. But you can also hear your own footsteps and gear, squadmates/team footsteps and gear, couple that with gun shots, aircraft, explosions and it can be difficult to pickup the sound, but it is there.
I don't know, but I assume it's possible that hack has an option for your footsteps to make no sound.

Sounds like some people don't know how simple and almost invisible the Companion pets were in D3. They zipped around picking up gold, that's it. They were tiny and were barely visible. They did nothing else.
It's not like Torchlight where the pets had an inventory, items could be equipped, give them spells to use, they contributed in combat, abilities that upgraded their power, you could send them to town to sell for you, feed them fish to turn them into a more powerful creature for awhile and I'm sure other things I'm forgetting. You could have them loot for you, but you had to click on what you wanted them to loot, so there was limited control.
As pets were in D3, they won't be missed.

With the cuts to scrolls, the only thing Lecturns and Bookshelves drop now are the occasional health potion. Either make far less lootable bookshelves or itemize the damn things.
With that said, Scrolls of Companion were a wasted inventory slot. I don't know about the other Scroll, never saw it. Gold is picked up when you run over it, and as already mentioned, there is a "increase gold/globe pickup radius" stat on gear. The companion scroll isn't missed, and only encouraged racing when playing coop.
Ignore the cynical asses.

None of it will matter when society goes through it's inevitable self destruction cycle, or massive natural disaster and we have no electricity, let alone an Internet.
Humans won't be sitting around talking about how Wizardry and Ultima weren't preserved.
