Yeah, it does. It's completely sad. This should of just been MW5 and not this horrible, half in, half out F2P milk-you-for-all-your-paycheck BS.

Let's pretend the rest of the game was up to snuff with what MW5 would of been. I STILL have to pay MORE than the cost of a FULL FEATURED RETAIL GAME just to get the number of mechbays that I want. JUST FOR ENOUGH MECH BAYS.

This is a joke. 30$ unique variants? Are you kidding? Do you have a conscience?

It may blow your mind Piranha, but people want MORE MAPS, not muddy reskins fo the same played out ones. If this wasn't a locked down F2P mess then we would have access to tons of community maps, but we don't!

The only good thing I can say about Piranha is that they are democratic enough to allow negative opinions on their forums, which is more than many companies will do. As far as making games is concerned, they SUCK though.

Mechwarrior: Living Legends makes MWO look like it was made by gibbering child.

I liked having a new color to my old map, I actually like a new play style to make sure it works, and we know how it works, before we get a new map and find out the game modes, don't work.. If you likie Living Legendsso much, why don't you Marry it

I'd say that f2p makes this game possible. In case you didn't bother doing research, no one would had funded mechwarrior 5. They shopped it around for quite awhile.

If you don't want to spend money don't spend any money. They're not holding a gun to your head.

And why did the patch dump seveal (largely meaningless and laughable) C-bills into my wallet? Am I retroactively receiving the cadet bonus?

I know, right?

This is pathetic. PGI should be making the game for free! Nothing should cost money at all! Hero Mechs, Cosmetics, all these things that have no affect on gameplay whatsoever. Who does PGI think they are trying to support their employees with proceeds from this game?! I don't have money, and as such, all games should bow down to my will and come into my price range! AAA games can be developed from NOTHING to complete in a single week! Why is this taking SO LONG!? If you make everything FREE, you'll make more money from more players joining and paying you nothing!

Rabble! RABBLE RABBLE!

... heh heh heh.

Full retail game=$60
Mech bays=300MC each
1250 MC=$7=4 bays
12000 MC=$50=40 bays

How many mother****ing bays do you NEED?

A lot of games have to be F2P or they just don't even get made. Like MW5.

Well I guess he has a minor point, for $30 I got 19 mechs in MW4. Of course you never have to actually buy that specific mech or any of those.

I mean you can complain about prices, or enjoy the FREE game, or come to gripes with the fact that no publisher in the world was interested in MW5 under Microsoft's terms. Oh and thanks EA for that by the way.

As of today, there's 51 'mech variants in the game. So that'd be $60 or so, since we all get 4 bays for free.

But yeah. I agree with your last sentiment.
