Yeah free to play on Xbox Live Gold membership is an oxymoron.


Free to play is an oxymoron in general since you will have had to, at the very least,  paid for some sort of hardware, whether it' a PC or console, as well as an internet connection to play any F2P game. The last time I played anything that was actually F2P I was 10 years old and the game was called hide and seek.

No. Sony fans have a obsession with coming into every 360 thread and bad mouthing. It's pretty tedious at this point.

I dot like micro transaction services either, I said so. And I agree about iPad, been all over it recently.



They should follow your example of constant positivity in Sony threads, specifically ones focussing on the Vita.

This is pretty funny again. "Hey guys, we're gonna give you free games to play! You just have to pay us!"

Its a response to free to play being a natural fit for Xbox Live. Essentially paying to play any game online on Xbox Live gold short of single player. Even some demos are not exempt. LOL As a 360 owner I have every right to have a laugh.

I laughed so hard at this... Microsoft don't know the meaning of free to play!

After hearing how awesome how PS+ is, because they offer all these said "free" stuff, I don't know.  If one is gold, gets the game, and then degrades to silver, and they still have the game, then it was free.  At least it as free as what PS+ is.

lol.

 

Btw, are there any f2p games on live atm?

Aegis Wings is free, as is Dorito's Crash Course, a driving shooting game, and I believe another Doritos game.  There is also stuff, if you have Silver, where you get a degree of interaction with other players, like in Trials Evolution, where you end up seeing where others on your friend's list raced to.  And there are the leaderboards also, which are free to Silver.

Sony fans in like a flash to talk down again.... so those games you all get free on PSN+ and go on and on and on and on about aren't free after all then?

Just so long as we have cleared that up.

 

OT.  Interested but we shall see how it goes.  Not a fan of Pay to Win gaming, i assume thats what this is? microtransactions?


the games provided by psn+ have never been marketed at free-to-play.  but when sony does have a free-to-play game like dust 541 or treasure of montezuma blitz ... they are indeed actually free to play.

just so long as we have cleared that up.


I didn't say they were marketed as such, I said users say they are free. Which they do... Often and loudly.

Now that's properly cleared up.... Why are you in this thread?


to me they are free. seeing as i would have paid over £100 for the games i have got from ps+ so far for only a 3 month subscription price of £12. amazing value.


its not really free, dude. You still paid however much you did for the subscription, and you still have to keep paying the subsription in order to access those games, I personally hate that (as well as most paid services in this regard), but i can see why it would appeal to you and others. But cheap is not the same as free

they'll probably market this and still get people to pay to play free to play games lol

What's sad is this thread is just like the N4G comments on the article.  All these posts and not a single mention of the F2P games.  Sony fans, come to this thread when you want to complain about one or two MS fans in your threads.  At least in Sony threads the topic actually gets discussed.

Here's the E3 trailer for people that are here to not troll the Xbox.

Tried to embed the video but don't feel like figuring out how to do it again so heres the link.
