Thank you Beau for this analysis af game cost. This sadly should be done for EVERY f2p game by there ... not just freemium conversions ^^' Maybe i missed something too, but i would have liked seeing if the game is really playable totally free (this means, high end and keeping playability).
For example, Champions is (in my opinion) NOT playable without paying. Due to archetypes restrictions, available storage place)
In 2012, i will say a game is good ONLY after i played it, and wont believe in hype level. That doesnt mean there is no highly awaited games for 2012 ... GW2, TSW, Planetside2, Firefall.
On the 13th day of Solonius i want NCSoft to give to me: A reason to come back
This is not for trolling, i really "hyped" aion during all the development phase, was a really active beta tester, a preorderer, and finally ... a disapointed customer.
I must say i'm also terribly disapointed by this new forgster game :/ I really thought this could be a "new" f2p standard, or something like that ... After a few hours of play, well ... i think it will just be "another" asian crap ported to west market :/
i dont agree with those "freemium" models, mixing a disguised premium monthly fee with an extended and usually overpriced cash shop.
Their global idea is players that payed their monthly fee will now pay the monhly premium + some cash shop features and items, that will cost more than the old monthly fee. And by saying more, i mean usually twice more :p
