F2p sucks.

Planetside 2 was actually awful in terms of that.
So much grinding.
I didn't play DCUO so I can't comment on that. Only good F2P game I've seen has been DOTA 2.
Single player and multi player are merging next gen. Alot of games are going to be hybrids and suspect eventually all games will have this hybrid type model at some point.

LMAO!!!!
Yea but I'd probably buy it if it meant we got to play the game they showed at the reveal.

F2P can be a good model. It can also be done really poorly.
Capcom? I always think of this:
I'm not very optimistic, but on the other hand I'll never buy an online only title (in Australia they are always dead in a week). So F2P always online at least makes me interested in the game again.

Considering how they monetized MH Frontier, I can't say I'm confident in their philosophy on microtransactions.

This does not automatically ruin the game. If it's pay for cosmetics/convenience and not pay to win, then I'd be happy giving it a shot.

10 for $10. get 10 revival stones for $10 and get an extra 20% more during the launch sale.
That kind of thing isn't out of the question, but it removes the reliance on retail and I'm sure that isn't their main source of revenue.

Wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes on the f2p thing.

What the hell is Sony thinking. They spend all this time and money developing an engine with Capcom and they waste it on a free-to-play title that will probably only last a year at best.

wonder how they'll make this work. since the game reminds me of rogue like dungeon crawler like grimlock, the best possible outcome is probably just sell you on survival item inside dungeon?
like this game Adventure Labyrinth for PSMobile, people in vita thread actually really like this game.

My only complaint so far is that the environment I looked at didn't look very varied. I'm not a big fan of randomized layouts.
Also note that this is actually a Sony/Capcom f2p title.

Let's speculate on horrific ways this could go wrong:
Your gear degrades like Elder Scrolls and Dark Souls, but it costs real money to repair it.

If the F2P model becomes standard "next gen" I think I'll be playing "last gen" for quite a long time.

Won't know how to feel about this until the monetization model is detailed. But lol at Capcom building hype for this game, showing it being played livestreamed, and waits until later to mention "one more thing" that can possibly be seen in a negative light.

Early hype deflated by this announcement. Micro transactions cometh.

Has there ever been a good non Valve F2P game?

Probably the wrong one. The one that charges you for practically everything just to allow you to continue play the game? F2P from what I am seeing so far just means unnecessary microtransactions galore.
Im fine with F2P models (as long as they're done right) but it just seems that the gameplay is looking very bland that their only hope was a F2P model with possible microtransactions. I mean, the camera is terrible (way to close) and the combat seems very sub par. I expected a demon's/dark souls type of combat but it seems it's just "aim spear/weapon attack"....I was so hyped about this one *sigh*
Thats pretty much my feeling, but I'm very much a grazer when it comes to online games so I can happily play these things for a bit before moving on. Just like I do with all the MMOs that are f2p.
fuck..I hope theres a $60 option that just unlocks everything from the start
bust then. there will never be a f2p on the same tier as dota 2

F2P can encompass so many thing, go in so many directions. I just don't get why anyone would dismiss something based solely on that one fact. Killer Instinct is a great example of how F2P can be used to benefit the customer. Completely different type of game, yes, but I'd say just be open to it until we at least see where they will go with it.
Yeah, it's capcom. I'll still wait and see.

So this might be other reason why is not coming to XBO.

Each time you play, it's a new character or you may pay $1.00 to continue playing a previous character.

Well this is dead i the water for me. Capcom ad Free-to-Play?
This will not end well...
Also why so many free-to-play games for next-gen?

Just make a content-packed game, sell it to me whole and then maybe give me some meaningful DLC down the line. There would be nothing worse than to be playing through something that could be so epic, only to have it stripped down and sold to you in bits and pieces in order to pay to win and feel like you are getting something. I want to buy the game, play it and be left alone. This is a model conceived by a bunch of fucking suits who want to chop up and turn entire games into DLC that they can milk to no end. Gorgeous looking game, but no thanks.

What is this game? Is it F2P? Is it available on EU PS Store?
