Support NeoGAF

[Lunar15]

I hope that the game-twists thing helps them to fix nearly all of the modes. None of them are all that fun outside of Attrition right now.

 

[Chris1]

The real problem, I feel, is that by allowing microtransactions to be purchased by credits as well as money the game progression becomes designed around that so the grind is steeper because the developers want to make purchasing items with real money enticing.

By keeping it separate, Respawn can design the game progression for unlockables however it wants.

So like you said, but I've yet to see a developer make purchasing items pretty cheap when it can be bought with money. Unless the items are completely random.

Pretty much. I agree, I think they made the best decision.

Saying that, there is a currency system in game and people will be racking them up after unlocking a few items perm, so I think there should be something you can spend them on instead of letting the currency system go to waste and be pointless. If not loot boxes like I said then something else.

Can we finally get this to be real?

Hopefully the microtransactions for cosmetics makes the game enough bank to counter supposed low sales

 

[BinaryBear07]

This is awesome. I wish more games used a model like this.

Because I forgto what map Angel city was, I just watched this:

In addition to the free stuff, we will be opening a store in game with the launch of DLC #1 that will allow you to purchase new skins, camo and Prime Titans if you want for a modest price. We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that’s it. These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts.

Will definitely pick up any of the DLC that looks good to show Respawn some support, and to support this way of doing things.

 

[Izuna]

I mean with all the smaller changes to the game. The smaller changes made in 2 could potentially change the flow of the map (red outline, grapple, turrets, etc)

Go back and play Angel City in R1. There's no way they can get R2 as good as that ;(

unless it's the biggest update ever

Maybe at that point make the microtransactions purchasable but cost A LOT of credits -- and make them only purchasable once everything else is unlocked that can be with credits as well as only available to gen 10 people. Of course, new stuff will always be added too. It's just a matter of how frequent new stuff is added.

 

[shotgunbob04]

So hype. Love this business model.

Might just end up being my GOTY.

 

[Bizazedo]

Tone: Burst Loader
Aiming allows the 40mm to store up to 3 shots to burst fire

Hahahaha....

Oh so you were being serious and not sarcastic

Misread you

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Was legit only expecting the one map but all of this other stuff sounds awesome, too, thanks Respawn! Gonna get me a prime Titan to show support.

 

[joecanada]

You can only buy them with real money only.

The problem with allowing you to buy them with currency is you'll just buy the thing you want and never give respawn a penny, which isn't fair considering they're gonna support it with free DLC. Or they make it cost a ton of in game credits to make buying with money enticing, but that's even worse.

The only decent "compromise" i could see is real money = can get whatever you want, in game currency = loot box

yeah, or just go real money = loot box , isn't that the way things go these days? /S

" every pack includes one of the following .....

fucking nothing
worse nothing.
absolutely nothing
punch in balls
something worth less than what you paid
*good item
duplicate item
triplicate item
quadruplicate item


*may not be good
* f u if you don't like it ".

in other words what they did makes sense here.

 

[Chris1]

I agree, I only said that cause people in the OT were complaining you couldn't buy them with credits and it kinda looked like this topic was heading in that direction too

I don't really give a shit about skins though.. I'll never buy any of them no matter how they are distributed or however much they may be. Only way I'll use them is if they're free and even then I'd probably just set one to active and never look at my skins page again.

 

[ghibli99]

The way it should be done. So glad I bought this, and I hope it has legs and sells consistently over time.

 

[Shig]

Only one map is disappointing. The game needs more map variety pretty badly, there should be 2-3 maps per DLC drop, ideally.

 

[friday]

Awesome, I fucking love this game.

 

[Ennosuke]

Respawn and Titanfall I love you. Thank you for some free DLC. But when I actually see what happens with the price of the game, thats not really a postive sign. I hope that at least now many people will buy the game.

I'm sure it'll move some decent units with Black Friday sales, after all the good word of mouth it's had. It strikes me as a game that people may not have prioritized as a day one purchase over other games releasing in the same timeframe, but that they were interested in picking up soon enough once it got cheaper.

You can get the other big shooters for the same price right now.

Call of Duty ~25€
Battlefield 1 was 30€ last week

I actually want to buy them with credits too, lol, but only because I have nothing to do with my credits.... I don't actually care about skins.

 

[Liberty4all]

Very awesome. Happy to support this franchise and great game.

Its like a whole different game...

 

[jackal27]

I cannot wait to get this game for Christmas! I really hope that people are still playing by then...

 

[excaliburps]

Hope the Prime Titan skins are priced reasonably well. I gather, I'll be getting most of these as long as the price isn't too high.

This is how microtransaction should be implemented, and I'm supporting them with my wallet.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Can't wait for the update. Everything is sounding really good.

I cannot wait to get this game for Christmas! I really hope that people are still playing by then...

The game isn't dying, so you can expect people to be playing.

So hype. Love this business model.

Might just end up being my GOTY.

Without question, Titanfall 2 is my game of the year.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I'm such a mark. I'll take one of everything.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Bungie are you listening? This is the way it should be. No RNG nonsense on purchasable cosmetics. Bravo. Bought this game on the Origin sale have yet to dive in. Too much BF1 right now.

Same goes to blizzard. But you can't make that much money without RNG.

 

[Ken Adams]

Pretty much how i feel.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Awesome set of things for the DLC .

 

[Dabi]

Thank you Respawn. Support likes this makes me want to convince my friends to buy this game. (Convinced three so far teehee)

 

[Dubz]

Fuck RNG loot. Thank you, Respawn!

 

[jelly]

Nice, the way it should be.

 

[Tenshin]

my goty keeps getting better, my hats off to you respawn.

 

[ant_]

Can't wait. Will buy something from their store as well.

 

[Wark]

Oh man, I'm psyched! I thought Overwatch would be my GOTY, but I think this game may be starting to fill its spot. If FFXV doesn't win me over, then I think TF2 is definitely taking the throne for me. Initially, I just picked up the game because of all of the talk about the campaign - and now I'm staying for the multiplayer.

I hope everything is reasonably priced.

TOP NETWORKS RECOGNITION

WE CAN DO THIS, TITANGAF!

Let's not get crazy now lol. Overwatch is top tier. But I have to admit T2 is fighting for OW's attention nowadays

 

[outunderthestars]

Happy to see a reasonable DLC model. Might buy a cosmetic or to as a thank you.

 

[QuantumZebra]

GOTY keeps getting better and better.

 

[Mechazawa]

God Tier map design finally comes to TF2.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

This is my game of the year, hands down.

 

[Gxgear]

I wonder if Respawn pushed for free post-release support, since BF1 is the complete opposite.

Good news.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Really happy to see DLC being announced. Awesome game.

PVE Frontier Defense Mode next please, Respawn!

 

[SliceSabre]

Ronin stay getting shafted. Thanks a lot Respawn. When a Ronin is doomed they go fucking ham, they don't try to get away.

 

[Animator]

Can't wait for Angel City. It was my favorite Tf1 map.

 

[Tenshin]

I cannot wait to get this game for Christmas! I really hope that people are still playing by then...

i got the fist game because of titanfall2 ( i never understood what people are saying about tf1 has superior maps and damn they are right) and people are still playing it. so no worries.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

I give it to Respawn, they are really trying to get some momentum up.
