It's a fucking free to play nightmare. I want a proper sequel without shitty microtransactions and the ability to play the whole game solo or with some comfy couch co-op.

Dragon's Dogma Online revealed - PS3/PS4/PC, MMO-ish, F2P, 4-player parties
- Thread starter raven777
- Start date
The game was still designed to be played by yourself. There's a huge disparity between having some online elements and having a game that is designed around social aspects and grouping together with other real players.
This may be the next logical step, but its a step plenty of us obviously didn't want them to take.
The gameplay of Deep Down is nothing like Dragon's Dogma. There's no overlap there. If the overlap is purely on its themes then that's a pretty lousy argument. Furthermore, while Deep Down has yet to do anything revolutionary, it does enough to pique my interest. Amazing graphics, spell combos, limb specific damage. There also aren't any f2p games that have similar gameplay to Deep Down on the PS4 at the time on announcement, no?

You can't really generalize all F2P as crappy F2P models.
Some MMO have good F2P model.
It's the same thing Capcom did when going from Lost Planet to Lost Planet 2. Made me lose all interest.
She was already the producer of Dark Arisen.
Ooh me too!
Since F2p doesn't require psn+!
Pretty sure ppl are concerned about the effect f2p has on the gameplay

Even giving the fact that the west version wasnt still confirmed, it is strange how Capcom is keeping distance from the XB1 since after Dead Rising 3.
I mean, no Deep Down, no Street Fighter 5, and now, apparently no Dragon's Dogma.
What the hell!
I know it has nothing to do with it, but MS should drop the parity clause to call more games to their side.
your correct it's not parity, but it sounds like it might be another bonehead clause stopping the game from getting an XB1 port. it's the same clause that's stopping FFXIV from being ported.

The pics remind me of the first boss fight in god of war 1

maybe we can buy a full version from the beginning and ignore the f2p junk.
then buy the expansion packs when they release months later.

Yep, why not?
It's easy enough to play a Japanese MMO. Another thing is that I'm pretty sure English translation will be available later if Western release is yet to announced for too long.
I liked pawns, RIP to one of the most unique open world games everzzz another online coop game.

Looking at the tiny blurry scans, I'm not convinced the map is going to be new new yet and more like recycling. will try.
I just read that you can also choose to play with 3 AI Pawn instead of real people.
Maybe we still create our main Pawn ourselves

You seriously think there's ANY chance this won't be localised?
This worries me more than being F2P.
A legit worrying factor.

I didn't ask for a f2p sequel. I'll pass

PC!
I need this.
But it's strange for Capcom to have DDO and DD in development, both are pretty much the same!
Japan only...

It's reused ps3 assets. You really think old hardware is going to harm it more than a cancerous business model proven time and time again to be deliberately unfun to bleed cash out of addicted saps?

are there any F2P models that grant unrestricted access to the game if you opt-in for $60?

Killer Instinct, but that's not exactly the same and I would not expect that model from anything with online in the title

The mobile F2P market is quite different from other platforms and what this thread is continuing to show me is that people are quite badly informed of this and instead of understand and giving the benefit of the doubt the enthusist gamer finds it easier to say, "No thanks" rather than to be intelligent about the prospect.
I mean it doesn't bother me, I enjoy free to play games and have had a lot of good times with free to play games. I just wish the hardest of the core "gamerzzz" were more intelligent than this but I don't expect it anymore.

Guild Wars 2 isn't free to play. You pay once and that's it.
Yes, because F2P can be done right if they want to (like Warframe, PSO2), another thing its how Capcom will handle it though.
Now, looking future improvements on PS3 hardware could be more harmful for the game IMO.
