Free To Play MMOs

More and more free to play games are coming out and have even migrated to North America, Company's here are starting to embrace free to play as the way of the future. honestly I don't like Subscriptions. But there's no such thing as completely free either. 

So there are 3 types of free to play

1. I think of it as "Buy to play" you pony up some cash and then you have a game you can play get to max levels freely.They normally will release expansions witch you will want to buy because they will add allot of new features. They also may have micro transactions but they will have not much affect on the game play and you will not be forced to buy them.

2. "completely free" this is supported normally mostly through a in game cash shop the cash shop sells no game breaking items, with out buying items in cash shop you can progress though the game and okay competitively. Buying from the cash shop may make it a bit easier but not all that much.

3 "pay to win" Trys to market itself as free to play but really to play this game you need to spend cash. In some more then in a subscription game the only difference is you choose when you want to pay.

Now I do play "free to play" games but if I ever find my self playing a "pay to win" game I'm out of there. Now you'll probably in the long the pay the least for "buy to play" games and over a long run of shorter amounts you'll pay more with "completely free". I'd like to conclude with there are no real free mmo company's have to make money somewhere.

The Hunger games

So any ways this weekend I saw the hunger games. I have read the first two books so when people who have read the books, said it was great I was excited. If you have never read the books and you see the movie you won't be disappointed, If you have read the books then well you might be. If you don't know what the hunger games is I'll run it down for you 12 districts are forced to send two kids one boy and one girl from the age or 12 -18 to the hunger games where they fight to the death and the last one standing gets riches.

If you read the book Rues death will disappoint you it was not overly that sad and Rue was hardly there, I personally think they didn't develop her enough. Thresh was epic but he was only in 2 scenes and only only talked once, some major points of the book they left out, The killing wasn't good enough.

Now this is coming from a guy who read the books. I still would suggest you watch the movie it was pretty good. If you didn't read the books you might like it better or find it harder to keep up. If you did read it and liked the books you will probably like it.

Thoughts on the Wii U

When the Wii U or the Wii 2 as it was know as back then was leaked/announced I will admit I was excited. Finally Nintendo was going HD, I could finally hold a controller in my hands like I did with the Gamecube and play. I expected that they would use the Gamecube controller or something like it,I was ecstatic. Then they showed it at E3 and I saw the controller. I was ready to kill it was huge,I don't want a controller that is almost as big as my head. A touch screen why would I need that on a home console? Now at this point,I had lost some of the excitement that I had for the Wii U but after the report from an anonymous developer saying the Wii U  power isn't up to par with the Xbox 360 and PS3 I was crushed. Nintendos response to this was "We do not focus on technology specs, We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers.". Now I still do have hope somehow I just can't let go.I'm holding on to the many good things said about the Wii U and I hope it dosen't disappoint me.
