It's possible that they plan on doing a combination of both. Right now, Dungeons and Dragons Online is free-to-play with a microtransaction store. However, if you don't want to pay for individual pieces of content, you can pay for a subscription and get all of it.
They wouldn't make a point of saying "these items are non-refundable" if they were just talking about some normal stuff you bought from an NPC shopkeeper with gold you collected from mobs.
Agreed. It seems less than coincidental that the first reviews for a game tend to be the most fawning.
Well put, sir.
I've found some of the .wav files and scripts online. The complete ending's pretty solid. Shame they didn't get to complete it but if a publisher's not paying them to do it...
The notion that Eurogamer gets more or less credibility in your eyes because they gave a good rating to a game you haven't played yet is pretty odious to me.
That being said, I'm looking forward to the game. EG is usually a tough grader.
The other reason I'm not all that enthusiastic yet: this is the first game from the developer. Tough to get excited when the studio's an unknown quantity.
Yeah, until I see some actual in-game footage and details, I can't get excited. Raw concepts and teaser trailers don't really do it for me.
Reminds me a bit of Red Faction: Guerrilla, too. Maybe that's just the camera, though.
I think "HK-47" would be a better name for those 1,001 kids.
At least the plastic one came with the game and you could actually play with it. This one's so expensive that you'd probably never let anyone near it.
The worst weapon in gaming history was the Klobb from GoldenEye. Or 90% of the melee weapons in first person shooters.
Video game developers play video games?!?
It's getting the sort of reviews that you'd expect from an expansion/DLC. An extension of a game just isn't going to get as much praise as the original game because the basic mechanics usually remain the same.
I probably would've gone with "TANK" but meh, "SEXY" is a good word too.
In the situation of SvR and Madden, though, the publishers have exclusive rights agreements in place so they don't have any pressure from competitors.
Knowing Rockstar, they'll give you some way to access the tank more than once. Maybe Ballad of Gay Tony will have tanks show up at 5-star wanted level?
Yeah, I lost track of this stuff after high school. News to me that the guy from freakin' Real World New York is a wrestler these days.
A completely irrelevant RRoD reference in the Open Zone? Now I've seen everything!
They made a Prison Tycoon recently. That makes even less sense than a wine tycoon. It's not like rich people go around buying up prisons.
It's a tough to gauge from such a tiny demo. Traveling through the digestive tract of an Akrid was pretty entertaining, though.
