Nice try, NSA. Other polls show support is much lower for them, around 40%.

>...get $30 worth of in-game currency

"In-game currency" is the magic phrase meaning I will not buy it.

My issue with F2P games is when they have XP boosters as Marvel Heroes does. It makes every minute you're grinding without having a boost up feel like wasted time.

I've played it a bit, and it's not very exciting. Minimal skill trees, very basic combat. Nice graphics, though.

If they thought Diablo 3 lived up to their "stringent standards" then I weep for the poor souls who had to alpha test Titan.

If they had left them down, I might have actually played it again.

Wait, no.

Who am I kidding?

D3 sucks.

I think this article is spot on.

Cliffy might say, "Hey, don't buy it", but articles like this are the response to publishers why this approach alienates gamers.

The more pissed off I get at a game company, the less likely I am going to buy their games. Already in the last year, I've written off both Blizzard and Bioware, two companies that I never thought would go onto the "Only buy it if it has gotten really good, consistent reviews for at least a month after release" list.

I don't have a problem with his "Don't like it? Don't buy it" stance... It's his implied "Stop complaining" stance that I take issue with.
Exactly.

I refuse to buy F2P games, and I'm vocal about it.

Crusader Kings 2 is an amazingly deep, well crafted game especially in terms of AI. Every NPC has a motivation and various plots that make sense. It may not look like much on the surface, but that's one hell of a spreadsheet going on underneath, a truly truly enjoyable game once you get the hang of it. Also works great in multiplayer.

I highly recommend this game, if you have the patience to learn it.
Agreed. It's an amazing game. (Except for Sunset Invasion, which is horrible - Aztecs get to ignore the normally very strict in-game rules.)

Just wish they would allow modding succession laws.

If you want to play it, you need to be on it constantly, day and night.

I did it when it was in beta, and will never play it again. Even though it was fun.

>My sole complaint about the single player is that the aliens dont move until they are revealed thru the fog of war.

Yeah. Once you figure out there aren't any alien patrols that are going to flank you suddenly, the game becomes very very easy. But very very slow.

If there's one company I trust with f2p, it's Turbine. They did a great job with LOTRO and DDO.
Turbine is terrible. :p

You don't need to install Beamdog. I don't have it installed.

It'll download using a P2P client.

D3 PVP - too little, too late.

T2 was the game D3 should have been.
