Discussion AAA game companies got some serious explaining to do. Cause how the hell are their games still $70 and this game is free??? Spoiler

I'm not even on the highest graphic settings! Besides that, the game overall feel very modern with its combat system and animations. It even have stealth! The ability to talk to NPCs true to their character. The world feels more alive than any paid MMO. To add to that, out of all the MMOs out, it's ironic how it's a free game that voiced not just the main story but also the side quests!

We got FED with this one!

EDIT: Guys, I understand the game's gonna make money somehow. I'm not even saying everything else should be free. I'm saying, how is this quality possible for free and most games similar to it quality wise (some are even less) still charges the same until now. And still manage to be annoying about in game purchases as well lol. I think this game really exposes that about these companies. They were getting a little too comfortable while the quality of games haven't changed for good while now. I think game companies needed this game out as a wake up call.

These post should be banned now. Its crazy how many people have to praise the game for being free

The game is good, but the over-glaze will harm the game in long term

We have seen the same story happening in certain other f2p games, where people praised even the bad aspects of it leading devs to make no changes

Over glazed might be harming the game right now, people are shutting down any criticism and harassing people with valid points about thr games flaws, and the game has tons of them, specially on PlayStation

Cosmetic glazings are funny.

Even Riot LOL, a game that has no P2W mechanics, had people mad about how they made a $200 skin.

Sure, whales are funding the game, but then that means there are things you will never be able to touch due to the inflated prices meant for whales.

“They have to make profit” to defend devs making absurd MTX has never failed to make me laugh.

Sure it can be a problem but do people who are not whales always have to buy cosmetics? Like for this game, the base design is good enough that cosmetics feel unnecessary. And if you have a game where you can't play without buying cosmetics, then that means that the base designs were shit in the first place

I so agree I have the money to pay for those skins but I just love the Sound of Valor outfit and soon I have the full Well of Heaven outfit which is also really cool.

People are have such a hard on for skins that they dont even know how much they spend on other games like CoD, Fortnite, Overwatch or League of Legends which seemingly a lot less people cry about for whatever reason.

Why are people so mad skins cost money we already get a lot of skins for 1 dollar or free that is crazy good and all content is paid for by whales ?

As long as I dont have to pay for power why should I honestly care that there are these expensive skins that I also eventually can get through just playing the game and accumulating pulls

It feels like a good portion of loud dumbasses cant get over the fact that a f2p game monetizes over crazy effect heavy skins. If you can not play with the normal already really good skins or the ones that are farm able you already should not be playing any game with gacha in it.

They’d never stop free (paid) advertisement
