00:00 - 00:03 | We are preparing for AC:I's release. |
00:04 - 00:05 | We will play with our friends here, |
00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | From what we can tell, the game plays nothing like Assault Horizon, |
00:12 - 00:15 | which means we can play with complete freedom, and no on-rails gameplay. |
00:17 - 00:19 | I heard a rumor from Steiner that the game was F2P. |
00:19 - 00:21 | That can't possibly be true, though. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Steiner... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Steiner was right, it is F2P. |
00:34 - 00:36 | Namco has officially announced it. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who bought a 360 for Ace Combat 6, get out now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What the hell are they thinking? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Making a F2P game like we're on fucking Facebook. |
01:18 - 01:23 | And I can't even get it on a disc now. |
01:25 - 01:28 | I would've ordered a collector's edition. |
01:29 - 01:31 | They're insane! |
01:31 - 01:34 | This is Ace Combat, not Candy Crush Saga! |
01:34 - 01:37 | This is a good series they're fucking with! |
01:37 - 01:40 | Nickel and dimeing the core fanbase! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, people weren't buying enough copies of the last 2 games. |
01:42 - 01:46 | That's because AC:AH sucked, and AC6 was 360 exclusive! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, they want to expand beyond the core fanbase. |
01:48 - 01:52 | They tried that with AH, and we got fucking DFM! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Now we get F2P! |
01:56 - 01:57 | just to appeal to casuals. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Now you can fly a few missions a day at most, |
02:00 - 02:03 | then pay or wait 'till your virtual fuel regenerates! |
02:04 - 02:08 | You've got to be fucking kidding me! |
02:08 - 02:13 | They could've at least let you buy unlimited fuel! |
02:14 - 02:16 | That would've been worth paying for. |
02:17 - 02:21 | Not to mention that they've removed TDM, so I can't even dogfight with Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Now we have to pay a micropayment fortune, |
02:30 - 02:34 | just to play the game as much as we normally would. |
02:34 - 02:36 | This could've been Ace Combat 7. |
02:41 - 02:42 | But instead we get this... |
02:43 - 02:47 | A fucking F2P Pay-2-Grind microtransaction shitfest! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Just designed to suck all our money out of our wallets! |
02:54 - 02:56 | What do they think? |
02:56 - 02:59 | Do they think this will actually grow the fanbase? |
03:00 - 03:02 | This could kill the series forever! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay, we'll get AC7 eventually. |
03:14 - 03:16 | I suppose if the gameplay is normal, |
03:19 - 03:23 | it'll at least be a fun game to play. |
03:25 - 03:26 | That's something. |
03:31 - 03:33 | We'll pay our $60 in micropayments, |
03:40 - 03:46 | and hope Namco makes enough money to fund a proper sequel. |
03:46 - 03:49 | We may yet get a proper AC7. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Damn you Namco. |
